A recent interview (Japanese only) with Kingdom Hearts director Tetsuya Nomura has some details about Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Nomura stated Versus XIII is an open world, and players can roam the place with a car – pretty much any time in the game.
In the same interview, Nomura described battles (and load times) in Final Fantasy Versus XIII as “basically seamless.” There are also destructible objects throughout the open world, monsters roaming the countryside, and battles with giant behemoths.
Siliconera has Famitsu magazine screenshots of the game. Check it out here.
