Shonen Jump has another Final Fantasy XIII treat for us, and this time it involves everybody's favorite perennial mascot, the Cactuar. Final Fantasy XIII's take on the noble Cactuar is far less radical than its redesigned Chocobos, given that it looks totally unchanged. Still, great to see with such lovely graphics.
The rest of the magazine scan shows off huge landscapes and monsters, boasting of XIII's sense of scale. If there was any doubt that this was a Final Fantasy title, the monster designs seen here put paid to such thoughts. I simply cannot wait to see this on my TV. If it looks this good in trailers and scans, the full thing will likely blow my bollocks off.
And my bollocks are in need of a good blowing off.

Cactaur never changes...
......... Cactuar breeding confirmed?
Amidoingitrite!?
Just because Cactaur made the final product.
Now it needs moar Shaqtus. :)
A Final Fantasy game with a Neutral Milk Hotel soundtrack would be the Best Thing Ever x 2.
Speaking of cactuars, that one is HUGE.
Cactaur is still awesome though.
