Square Enix has opened a new portal site for its Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII series. From this portal site three subpages, one for each game can be accessed.

At this point, the Final Fantasy XIII website only features previously released screenshots and character profiles of the three playable characters revealed thus far (Lightning, Snow and Oerba Dia Vanille). Vanille is the red-haired female character. She is described as cute and acting in a bright manner. Within her slumbers a strong determination, even though she is not yet aware of this fact.

The subpages for the PlayStation 3-based Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII for PlayStation Portable are mere teaser sites featuring no new information yet.

Final Fantasy XIII will be available sometime later this year. Whereas Square Enix will only release the PlayStation 3 version in Japan, the game will be available for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the US and Europe. Final Fantasy Versus XIII's release date has yet to be announced. Final Fantasy Agito XIII is set to hit retail store shelves in Japan later this year.
