Characters
Director Tetsuya Nomura has stated that the characters of Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the most realistic and believable in the Final Fantasy series and they will talk and behave like people from the real world. Also, their personalities and mannerisms will be very realistic and unlike what one would normally expect from a Final Fantasy cast.
Jun Akiyama will be responsible for the portrayal of the characters in the Real-Time Events (RTEs) and their facial expressions and body mannerisms in the pre-rendered FMVs. The reason Jun Akiyama was chosen was due to his experience directing the event scenes in Final Fantasy XII. Tetsuya Nomura believes the main characters and supporting characters of Final Fantasy XII felt like real people rather than the anime archetypes one would normally associate with the Final Fantasy series.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“It is open to question whether the highly individualized characters we find in Shakespeare are perhaps not detrimental to the dramatic effect. The human being disappears to the same degree as the individual emerges.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“White Pond and Walden are great crystals on the surface of the earth, Lakes of Light.... They are too pure to have a market value; they contain no muck. How much more beautiful than our lives, how much more transparent than our characters are they! We never learned meanness of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I have often noticed that after I had bestowed on the characters of my novels some treasured item of my past, it would pine away in the artificial world where I had so abruptly placed it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
