Final Fantasy XIII's level up system is Crystalium, earn CP not EXP

All that levelling up through experience won’t do for Final Fantasy XIII, so they’ve introduced the Crystalium System, with Crystal Points.

After each battle you get CP which can be spent on ‘growing’ roles with new skills and abilities, like unlocking more powerful Fire.

It all involves a circular chart where gamers turn the collected Crystal Points they’ve earned into slots, which can then open up more advanced abilities eventually. So far the revealed classes are Blaster, Defender and Attacker, reports Andriasang.

Final Fantasy XIII is being released on Xbox 360 and PS3 in early 2010.
