Famitsu brings us ten new Final Fantasy XIII screens photo

When Square Enix isn't too busy working on Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy: Gaiden, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy IV: The After, Final Fantasy: Crystal Defenders, Final Fantasy XIII: Agito, Final Fantasy XIII: Versus and even Final Fantasy XIV, it sometimes works on Final Fantasy XIII. Y'know, the game it announced before any of those other things. Just saying, if Square Enix didn't have eyes bigger than its stomach, maybe its main game wouldn't take ten billion years to make. 

Regardless, FF XIII is finally almost upon us, at least in Japan, and Famitsu has spread the good word with ten new screenshots. The screens show off some new monsters, and new character Hope Estheim, who was caught in an E3 trailer. 

The game's out at the end of the year in Japan, but we roundeyes have to wait until Spring 2010 before we can get our dirty white mitts on it.

Who are you calling a "roundeye?"

Everyone point and laugh at the exclusion of the third I.

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, that's all I hear when I think of this game. And me being a roundeye I guess I'll be hearing it a while longer.

Man, if I spent as much time on my hair as the guys in the Final Fantasy universe did, I'd never get anything done!

Well, I usually don't get anything done anyway...

I'm going to go do my hair.

Yay, I can't wait for another JRPG riddled with a boring storyline, stereotypical characters, and god-awful dialogue!

Seriously, there's not much to expect from SE games except good graphics.

Wow, they're taking forever on this shit. I'll probably rent it because since they've been bitching around with every game but XIII, it could be shit.

I, for one, would rather they take forever and deliver an AMAZING game rather than speed it up and deliver a great game.

Obviously they have characters named Snow and Lightning... They've already done Cloud and Squall, and let's not forget Mallow, that was square too.

When this game comes out, I'd like to see Jim do a "Videogame show what I've done: Final Fantasy XIII"

Bah, Final Fantasy has had some of the worst character design for 10+ years.

Ok, so the guy that did 10 is doing 13, the game is definitely looking like 10 more and more, and 10 was by far the worst FF, absolutlely ruined by the terrible characters and voice acting.

In other words, I could give less of a shit about this one. The guy that did 12 should be making all the FF games henceforth.

Just sayin'

I couldn't be any more the opposite of you. Everything you said, I totally feel the other way about.
