Final Fantasy XIII is part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series and will be an RPG for the Playstation 3 Console.
Final Fantasy XIII was announced at Square Enix's E3 2006 Press Conference in Las Angeles on May 8.

Final Fantasy XIII will be using the white engine to create the game. This will allow for seamless graphics with billions of polygons on the screen. The E3 2006 trailer is supposedly not done using the White Engine.

Features
There is little known currently about Final Fantasy XIII.
Party battles will be used, although it is unsure as to how many people will take part in each party. It will most likely be three though since all of the games in the playstation era(excluding FFIX and FFXI) have had 3 people in the party.
Weapon exchanges can be made in the middle of battle. In the 2006 E3 trailer, we see the character change from gun mode to sword mode and vice versa. According to Toriyama, due to the detail done for weapons in the game, weapon transformations will be possible. So chances are these transformations will be a crucial part of the battle system.
The battles will be of Advent Children quality with multiple camera angles and fast paced action. There will still be an ATB bar, however, the animations used for attacks and spells will be much more extreme than in previous Final Fantasy Games.
