Wow you guys are quite the talkative bunch. Going to take me a while to go through all your posts
Any who, I think versus XIII looks more interesting than FFXIII
As part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis project, Final Fantasy XIII embarks on an adventure full of mysticism, friendship, and strife in the name of destiny. The world calls for change. Chosen by the crystal to guide the world into this new era of change, Lightning attempts to overthrow the government from which she was cast. Cocoon, for many, is the ideal state of life. Or at least it was. Prosperity reigned upon its inhabitants. Powered by the crystal, they were given everything they would ever need: machines, magic, and other living beings. The citizens of Cocoon were thankful, but soon became scared of the threat posed from without. The people of cocoon grew scronful, outlawing any suspicious personae to the world below: Pulse. Lighning is one such person, and has witnessed the resulting injustice first-hand that has begun to overtake the world of Cocoon. After becoming friends with many of Pulse's inhabitants, she has begun to realize her true destiny.WorldsCocoon
The world above, as the people of Pulse know it, was enchanted by a magical crystal that established everything that the world has now become. Monorails and hover lanes divide the living sections of the inhabitants. This is a global utopia for all kinds of modern technology. Better yet, it is a place that is constantly evolving. The technology has become so advanced that the place has now decorated itself into a formidable fortress. The defenses accrued have made Cocoon a safe haven from the denizens below, but the people of Pulse do not see it that way. They see it as if the citizens of Cocoon have stranded themselves.
Pulse
Like Cocoon, the world of Pulse was created by a crystal. 'Awakened,' as the people would state. Due to the harsh rules Cocoon has led, many believe Pulse to be a breeding ground for everything that has gone wrong with the world. It is a place filled with malcontent. They believe this is the source of all the violence and misery that occurs. As a result, the government outcasts "conspirators" to this underbelly. Since then, the exiled Cocoon citizens have discovered the truth. That Pulse is actually full of life, beauty, and majesty. Even encountering a new species: the Rushi. The Rushi are believed to have been granted the power of magic in the form of summons. It is also believed that they hold the task to restoring the world.

A bit more of the translations:
"A young girl stands on Pulse. Although a menacing place, there are those who live here. Those exiled from Cocoon may be able to safely start a new life here, on Pulse."
Page 28 again but the sidebar with Lightning in the picture. "The Cocoon, floating in the sky. And it's opposite, Pulse, over which a primordial forest spreads, inhabited by Dinosaur like creatures.
The shut away world of peace, and the shut away world of wilderness.
The story of FFXIII revolves around two worlds, one called “Cocoon”, the other “Pulse”. There are still many mysteries, but we have gathered that the main character Lightning’s origin is related to these worlds. Besides the game’s setting, we can also make public two new “key words”: “Farsi”, the one who has surpassed human knowledge, and the one chosen by Farsi, “Lucy”. These words will both make an appearance in the game’s mythology."
"'When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer.' The benefits of a classical education." (I think this is a correct translation)
Translation of Pages 1 and 2.Page 1

After about a year of silence, we deliver to you information about these two titles underdevelopment for the Playstation 3.
New characters are revealed one after another!
Created by a large force, Cocoon, the floating shell in which society was shut away.
Enormous machines and life forms borne by the Crystal protect this place, and it prospered.
Regarded as a symbol of peace, the Crystal chooses individuals, attributes them their fate, and has created a world where it's will is carried out.
And, she was chosen.
As the species of enemy who would destroy the world.
She speaks nothing of herself, she is simply, "Lightning".
A project which encompasses multiple titles.
The 13th edition in the Final Fantasy series has developed into multiple titles. Collectively, they are called “Fabula Nova Crystallis”. Each game's setting, characters, and system are different. However, there is some similarities in their mythologies, and discovering these in different ways in the different titles is one of this magnificent project's most attractive elements. Three titles are in development, FFXIII, FFversusXIII, and FF Agito XIII. Regarding FFXIII, within this year video footage running on PS3s is scheduled to be released to the public. Let's satiate your appetite with some more information!
