Any Final Fantasy XIII news that comes my way is met with a bittersweet reaction these days. On the one hand, it’s nice to see the progress that the game is making, but at the same time, I know it’s going to be a long time before I can actually play the damn thing. Still, that doesn’t mean I wasn’t happy to look at some pretty new screenshots from the upcoming Square Enix game, courtesy of Kotaku.



Originally posted in Japanese gaming mag Famitsu, these images come days after the news that a playable demo of FFXIII will come packaged with Advent Children when it makes its way to Blu-ray. I don’t read Japanese, so I don’t actually know what’s happening in any of these, but that doesn’t really matter. They look nice, and I’m excited for a Final Fantasy with a female lead. Now, if only Squenix would give us a U.S. release date, we’d be all set.
