Final Fantasy XIII is coming out in Japan any minute now (December 17, if you want to get specific), and is less than three months away from being released in North America. Take a second and really let that set in. If you're not a fan of the series, this may mean nothing to you except that the nonstop hype will come to an end. However, if you're like me, you've been waiting for this game since before Final Fantasy XII even came out. Will the battle system work? Will the story be emotionally engrossing? Will it simply blow our minds? We will have answers soon enough. For today, though, we have screenshots--thirteen of them, including the one seen above. Enjoy the rest below.








Also starting today, you can get more Final Fantasy news on the official Final Fantasy XIII facebook and twitter. This is all part of Square Enix's promise to deliver FFXIII news on the 13th of every month until the game comes out in North America on March 9. That means we've still got more to come on January 13 and February 13. In the meantime, what does everyone think of the new screens?
