Start getting a help Wanted sign Cloud, because there's a new Final Fantasy Star coming soon. Pictured here is one FF XIII's main protagonists named Lightning,who FF character designer Tetsuya Nomura described as "not very feminine". Not much is known about her, but she used to be a soldier in the Cocoon military. As you can see from the screenshot, FFXIII's graphics are truly beautiful and the game is going to be the biggest Final Fantasy yet.
Other characters of the game include:Snow Villiers(pictured above) the leader of team Nora, a resistance group aganist Cocoon, Sazh Katzroy, who joins Lightning in hopes of finding his lost son, and many, many more. Details of the plot are scarce, but for more info check out:
