There isn't an official Final Fantasy XIII movie, but there are youtube videos that cobble all the cut scenes together to make a pseudo movie.
2016 if all goes well
After all the dlc's for xiii-2 are completed they will consider making the next installment
Keep advancing the characters crystarium. There will be a crystal that advances the role. The same goes for all roles.
they are just that they have different storyANSWER:Well just like FF VII, it has Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus, Versus XIII is part of XIII (or Fabula Nova Crystallis) because it all involves with crystals, but its just in different worlds & storyline, just like in the Versus trailer when it said "a fantasy based on reality" so its like modern, and XIII with the protagonist (Lightning) its fantasy-ish.
So far square has announced no dlc for ffxiii at all
You can play as characters from multiple final fantasy games (though not all) in games such as final fantasy dissidia 012: duodecim.
mainly all the hard monsters to beat have those type of things
The combat is different, and the story is not continuous. So it's fine.
That is quite a challenge, but you have to elaborate further.
Final fantasy iv and final fantasy vi FF4 has 16 i think but alot of them die and you cant use them later on FF6 has 12 and you can use all later
I would say that the relevance of graphics is really up to you. Final Fantasy XIII is a gorgeous game. Final Fantasy VII is more of a classic. Now, if you haven't played any Final Fantasy games at all, I would recommend starting with Final Fantasy IX or X. Both of those games are pretty accessible for a first-time Final Fantasy player. Choosing between the two of those, however, I would say to play VII first. It's a classic, and it's really a phenomenal game. XIII isn't to everyone's taste, and therefore I wouldn't recommend it for first-time Final Fantasy players.
