Final Fantasy XIII environment shots revealed!

[Gingerbread Lesbian]

Japanese publication GameWatch has published a bunch of Final Fantasy XIII screenshots that showcase some of the environments that will feature in the final game.

Many of the environments have been seen before in trailers and screenshots, but these in-engine shots have been especially taken to show off the locales of FF13's world. Final Fantasy XIII is now nearing its Japanese release in December.

Wow... Looks comparable to Mass Effect if not Better. These graphics are down right amazing, thanks again for the update Merc.

I hope to see more shots from the bestiary here soon, I want see see what new types of monsters/soldiers will be available to fight.

 

[Ewan]

These look great! Thanks for the share

The very top one kinda reminds of me of a more (or even more?) futuristic version of Luca, and the one after that reminds me of Kilika for some reason.
In any case, this is going to be a pretty badass game

Cocoon looks absolutely amazing. It's bright and full of small details to look at. All there is left to look at now is the world of Pulse. One sci-fi world and the other being a more natural world will be very interesting.

Really epic shots there. Looks like it'll absolutely amazing to explore the environment. I'm also looking forward to being able to see the environment thrive and in motion. Cheers for the screenshots Ryan.

Looks huge. I'm liking the environment and the colors applied. The graphics are just amazing - I'm sure it will be moreso in the game. Keep 'em coming!

Im loving the futuristic look, I prefer that style over the traditional settings - it looks stunning

It certainly looks very pretty, but there's no one who would not have expected that.
It's only screenshots of the game which can't really be criticised. But as long as they've learnt their lesson from FFXII, and put more time into the story and gameplay than graphics then it should be fairly good. Hopefully.

Oh wow this is really beautiful indeed. I can not wait to see what the fmv sequences will look like cause the raphics are just beautiful. I love cocoon and I think it can be one of the most beautiful places in FF. I love that ice crystal land!

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Wow this all looks fantastic!

Definitely love the scenery in this so far.

The top one and last one kind of remind me of Luca. =D I loved that place in FFX. <3

Thanks for the update Ryan!

 

[Hayate]

I am loving the look so far. =D. One of the pictures reminds me of Macalania. =p. Pretty.

I love the futuristic look so much better. I cannot wait till the game releases.

It does kind of remind me of Luca, and I hated Luca, but I just can't not like how great those graphics are. I usually don't like the whole futuristic thing, but this... this I could get used to

 

[ListKeeper]

Thanks for the great shots as always Merc.

I as most people posting here also see some resemblance to Luca, in my opinion it's a good thing because of how the city was designed, by improving that design and making it more furturistic they have made some great looking places. The screens give us a good look at what the graphic are like which seem to be astounding.

Again thank you for sharing with us.

I love how everything in the background is so clear and sharp such as trees and the sky and buildings, reminds me alot of star ocean, love it!

Screenshots are looking really good so far. The top one reminds me of something out of Xenosaga.

One of the pictures reminds me of Macalania.

The ice area does remind me of Macalania Temple.
