Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Trailers and Screens are gorgeous

Square-Enix has released a few new screens from Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and boy oh boy are they looking purdy. Along with the screens are the two trailers; one of which was the leaked trailer from a few days ago (below) and the other is the trailer Square-Enix released at the Jump Festa Event this past week.
I’ll be honest, the game is looking very good and if that battle system is more action oriented than previous Final Fantasy titles, I’ll dive right on in. I’m excited to hear more information about Lightnings new tale and how the game will play out with it’s 13 day time clock. It wasn’t mentioned here but I heard some chatter back when the game was first announced about being able to customize your lightning with different outfits, so for those who are a little less than pleased with lightnings new getup, might have options.
The game is scheduled for release in 2013 for both the Xbox 360 and Playstaion 3 and you can now download track used in the trailer, “Crimson Blitz,” from composer Masashi Hamauzu on the iTunes Store for $0.99.
