Edge asked FFXIII director and writer Motomu Toriyama if the number of time segment commands for each character would increase (which would ultimately let characters perform more actions in a single turn). He replied with a hinting wink, "That's a very shrewd observation." Toriyama also talked a bit about the storyline, revealing to OPM UK that FFXIII won't just be about Lightning and will be "told by different viewpoints and characters." In that regard, it looks like gamers can expect to see a storyline similar in scope to FFVI. With a public demo packaged in the Japanese Blu-ray version of Advent Children (out in less than two weeks), gamers will get to experience an hour's worth of FFXIII gameplay and story.
