Actual gameplay screenshots of Final Fantasy XIII
FFXIII scans: in-game battles, reveals first character name
Most of the information in the mag scans regarding the battle system is already well-known, such as no random encounters. The only truly new information is -- after two and a half years -- we're finally going to know one character's real name. While "Lightning" and "Snow" are code names for the main female lead and the blond dude with a bandana, "Oerba Dia Vanille" is the first actual name to be revealed, and it belongs to the spunky red-haired girl.
Other than this info, there's not much else to talk about. There is, however, some nice pictures to look at, so now would be a good time to head on over to VideogamerX and view all the scans.

New FFXIII & Versus XIII images from Cloud, including gameplay pics
For the two PS3 games, the new reveal on Versus XIII is a pretty big one. It's the first time anyone has seen gameplay images of the game. The images themselves are tiny (pictured above), but it is clearly seen (in the larger version) that numerous pictures show off in-game scenes as hinted by the visible HUD and map. As for the Main FFXIII title, the images don't reveal as much. It's interesting to note that a character design from the title's drawing board has been semi-blurred. It is possible that this design may be a new playable character, though that is not certain. If any of this has you interested, check out the larger sized images here and see the fine details.

Final Fantasy XIII screenshots, now larger, from TGS Closed Theater
Last week we posted about the latest Final Fantasy XIII scans from Famitsu. The scans weren't of the best quality, but now the Japanese gaming magazine has posted several larger pictures from the article on their website. They feature Lighting, Snow (the blonde guy), Sera (the pigtails girl), as well as the backside of the Sephiroth-esque female possibly-a-villain character participating in some sort of ceremony involving a coffin. Check out the rest of the pictures here. For those of you who missed it, our Square Enix Closed Mega Theater trailer impressions are here.
New Final Fantasy Versus XIII details surface
The game's director, Tetsuya Nomura, points out that part of the plot was revealed in the TGS Closed Theater trailer. He notes that the discussion seen between these two characters in that trailer focused on their abilities to "see light." Noctis seems afraid to talk about these abilities, while Stella is very frank and opens up the dialogue by asking Noctis about how he obtained his ability.
It's rather funny to think that we now know slightly more about Versus XIII than we do of the main XIII title. That's especially harrowing after knowing Versus XIII isn't expected until after XIII is out.

New FF XIII and Versus XIII scans show TGS Closed Theater images
In the image above, we see the two most prominent Versus characters engaged in their voiceless conversation. While in the FF XIII image posted after the break, you'll (hardly) see the new Sephiroth-like female character; you'll just see the back of her head. She's the image second from the bottom in the lower left corner. Wait a minute. Sephiroth-like female character? Voiceless conversation? What are you talking about, dude? If you don't know, then you better read those trailer impressions. Also, check out larger versions of the scans here.

Final Fantasy XIII demo may be sold separately
Yes, while demos have long been given away for free, Square Enix may considering selling the demo at a slight premium. This is unheard of, but considering the incredible demand for this hotly anticipated title, we wouldn't be surprised to see thousands of fans forking over some dough to get an early taste of the game. Hopefully, distribution of the demo outside of Japan will be a bit more ... free.

Final Fantasy XIII summons revealed in concept illustrations
What we'll see instead are some concept illustrations of the locale and summon creatures of the Final Fantasy XIII universe. All of the locale shown seems to be aerial; does that mean the game will feature a Zeal-like kingdom? We also get a first glimpse at new interpretations of old summons like Shiva, Ifrit and Carbuncle. Take a look here.
Lastly, they have pictures of the Square Enix Goods Shop. We avoided looking at most of the pictures, because frankly, if we can't get our grubby little hands on those goods, we'd rather not look at all.
Final Fantasy Versus XIII collaboration with clothing brand ROEN
See the stylish clothes all the boys are wearing in Final Fantasy Versus XIII? Apparently, they come from the designs of the Japanese label ROEN. Their collaboration with Square Enix means they are designing clothing worn by the characters in the game. Additionally, you will be able to purchase some of the designs. Looking at ROEN's official website though, we see a leather blazer costing a jaw-dropping 346,500 yen (about $3,223 USD)!! This collaboration is certainly taking the cost of cosplay to a whole new level.
The concept to their autumn/winter 2008-09 collection is Play Boy -- "The theme of this imaginative story is set with men, who have shed-off their hippy image and are invited to a high society party ... ROEN is reborn to a mature, gorgeous and classy style." We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried.
Also of interest is that the trailer of Versus XIII shown earlier today at DKΣ3713 contains the words "PlayStation 3 only Worldwide" at the end. This appears to again confirm Versus XIII's PS3 exclusivity worldwide. But then again, Final Fantasy XIII had very similar words at the end of its trailers ...
Final Fantasy XIII confirmed for a 2009 Japanese release
The official site has also launched, with nothing more than a trailer we saw already. Hopefully we'll see some updates in the coming days.
