Unlike Final Fantasy XIII, this game will be action-oriented and the may be the darkest Final Fantasy. Nomura has stated that he aims to create previously unseen "tricky" battle sequences, reminiscent of Advent Children. Nomura has revealed that the game will play like a more realistic version of Kingdom Hearts with some elements of a third-person shooter similar to Dirge of Cerberus. Various websites have speculated that the game might be released sometime in 2009, as it's been confirmed that XIII won't be released until at least mid-2008 and Versus is currently trailing behind it.
