Final Fantasy: A New Ray of Light

NOTE: UNDER DEVELOPMENT STAGE. MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
Final Fantasy: A New Ray of Light is a role-playing video game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Xbox 360, and is later released as a PC game for Microsoft Windows. It is also a spin-off to the Final Fantasy series, included with previous elements such as summoned monsters, airships, chocobos, Cid, and Light.
The game takes place in the world of Budreriel, wich is also know as the World of Shadows because of the people's evil deeds and thoughtless acts. The Empire of Londinia, Phaeron, is causing the world wars and the source of the evil deeds and thoughtless acts of people. His daughter, Velorina, along with former General Cid Heathcliffe, had rebelled against him. A month later, a boy named Soran found Princess Velorina wandering around the woods, seeking for help while trying to find Cid. Soran understands the princess's reasons for rebelling against her own father, and then he helps her.
Throughout the game, like the previous games, more characters will join the party because of many reasons, and like in some Final Fantasy games, classes stay permanent and cannot be changed.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is similar to Final Fantasy XIII in a way. The player directly controls the on-screen character through a third-person perspective to interact with people, objects, and enemies throughout the game. The player can also turn the camera around the characters, which allows for a 360° view of the surroundings.
The battle system is also similar to XIII's, together with the Active Time Battle (ATB) system first featured in Final Fantasy IV. With the ATB system, the player selects an action from the menus, such as Attack, Magic, and Item. But unlike in XIII, though, you can control any of the characters in your party.
The party members also have another bar which fills up slowly, called the "Rage Meter". It has three stages: Normal, Rage and MAX. If it's in Rage mode, the stats of all the party members increase little by little. The Rage Meter, if it's in MAX stage, allows you to summon creatures called Eidolons. Like in some games, you fight off summon creatures before getting them. There are no playable summoners in this game, so anyone in the player's party can summon.
