Don't worry about spoilers in these new Final Fantasy XIII screenshots we've created for you. The only things spoiled are inconsequential at best. In fact, I'm so sure that you won't care that I'll lay them out for you here.
Spoilers of no consequence in these screens:
- Sazh tries to run up on the young white girl
- Lightning's old captain is a fat Hispanic looking guy
- There are fireworks
- There are battles
See? Nothing important. Just pretty pictures for you to admire. These take place about 5 or 6 hours into Final Fantasy XIII and show both story elements (ahh, fireworks) and battle screens. In the battles, you can see Hope, Vanilla (seriously) and Sazh doing their thing. You'll also see examples of the Optima Change menus. As the game progresses, changing "jobs" multiple times in mid-battle becomes important.
We'll put together more screens of little spoil action for you later this week.
And about Sazh? He's seriously into the young white meat. More on that later.

Oh, wait. That's how they all look...
The whole game is ruined now, I can't play it. Thanks alot.
To be honest if it is just one long corridor after another and then opens up anywhere from 30-60% through the game then it mirrors FF7 onwards. I mean FF7 you spend a disproportionate amount of time in midgar before the world opens up. In ff8 you technically spend a fair bit of time in garden (or at least doing missions out of) before moving on fairly early, ff9 basically has you running in a linear fashion for a really really long time. ff10 has you running straight from one temple to another but is a bit more diverse along the way then opens up entirely halfway through. ffx2 is different in that you can go a lot of places early on. I never picked up 12 so I won't speak on it, but I can't imagine it's that different.
Looks alot like japans take on obama. He is all about change and well... he is kind of black.
