[Ps3 e X360]Final Fantasy XIII

Final Fantasy XIII Background

Final Fantasy XIII is set in a futuristic world controlling advanced technology and magical crystals. Pulse, the world Final Fantasy XIII is based on has had an evil history which has resulted in the construction of the floating utopian city called Cocoon. The citizens of Cocoon fear the world below. Lightning, the heroine of the game is seen fighting soldiers in Cocoon in the E3 2006 trailer but we aren't sure why. All we know about her is her codename and the fact that she has amnesia. In the CLOUD trailer, she's rescued by a tall blonde man who rides in on a motorbike, mowing down soldiers with an assault rifle. Although it's unsure whether they're on the same side or even know each other, he doesn't attack her.

Although little is known about them, the Crystals have the ability to create life forms and also objects. The Crystals were also the power which decided to create Cocoon to protect the threatened people on Pulse. It is believed that the Crystals give instructions to the super-natrual beings known as Farsi who were responsible for constructing Cocoon from an "infection" on Pulse. There is also a group of people known as the Lusi who follow the will of the Crystals and carry out missions for the Farsi. It has been confirmed that the blonde man and the pig tailed girl are both Lusi.

During the E3 2006 trailer, a train full of prisoners is involved in a crash and comes under attack. It is believed that Cocoon's Holy Government thinks that these prisoners are infected and has sentanced them to return to Pulse.
