New Final Fantasy XIII Scans

[Gingerbread Lesbian]

RPGamer has posted up new Final Fantasy XIII Famitsu scans. The scans focus on Team Nora, their designs and natures.

- In the scene where Snow's struggling on the wreckage's rubble, he becomes separated from the rest of the Noras and end up in the area where Lighting and Sazh is
- The Noras will join the battles depending on the situation
- Snow, Gadot, and Lebreau were all orphans and grew up together
- Gadot's design is based off of NBA and hip hop fashion and his necklace has the word "posse" engraved on it.
- Lebreau has a motif of butterflies. Her swimsuit is a butterfly print and she has a tattoo on her back. She is also the healer in battles
- The symbols that are printed on Maqui's clothing are the Nora logos
- The area where Snow and the Noras reside are near the beach. Nora comes from "norainu," or stray dog in Japanese, but it has another deeper meaning
- The Sanctum doesn't fully control and maintain the entire Cocoon. Some areas are out of their reach, such as the Cocoon-Pulse border area (where the game starts off at) and the Nora's beach area
- There are about 18 Noras in all
- The giant fleet-like thing (as seen on pg. 21 of the scans and in most trailers) is a fal'Cie
- Sazh has the most lines in the game, and they had a highly experienced voice actor who was able to ad-lib voice him

I think you got some dodgy links there, Ryan. I also only see X's of doom.

 

[Gingerbread Lesbian]

I can see the images
I'll reupload them to my photobucket instead and see if they work!

That worked. Cheers mah love.

Blonde boy there is new. And may I say Gadot is working that flame hair look!

The girl and Gadot remind me somewhat of Wakka and Lulu. And yet again...a bunch of characters which are orphans! -rolls eyes- Does anyone ever have actual living parents these days in any FF game lol?

The girl kind of reminds me of a mixture of Tifa and Ashe from FF XII while Gadot seems like a mix of Barrett and Akuma from the Street Fighter Alpha series.

Nope :3

FF II- Firion, Maria, Leon, Guy- Orphans
FF III- The Onion Knights- Orphans
FF VII- Orphans ( minus Nanaki )
FF VIII- Orphans
FF X- Orphans

It's pretty common for the main characters to have a lack of parents.

They could try doing something different, wouldn't hurt me thinks!

Lol, Lisa. I've been thinking that for ages now XD. I'd imagine every FF fan will gasp when a FF protaganist finally says "These two are my parents"

It is getting quite boring and generic. Maybe the characters having living parents will help more players relate to the characters. (Fantasy world and unrealistic situations aside )

haha, it should be called Orphan Fantasy

FFVIII was all about orphans, FFVII,FFX,FFXII all have orphans. they sure know how to bleed a concept dry!!
