More hawt Final Fantasy XIII screens to gawk at

Square Enix can be so tight-lipped. Jump Festa 2006 had the potential to bleed loads of new Final Fantasy XIII (or the rest of the Fabula Nova Crystallis, for that matter), but so far, not much popped. We got a Tetsuya Nomura interview for Versus which didn’t say much, either (except that he does hope there’ll be gameplay vids next year), not many videos to show, and in the name of all that is Holyga, no one, except probably them behind the walls of Squeenix, knows the name of FFXIII‘s heroine!

Well, to satisfy the growing hunger of Final Fantasy fans everywhere (a hunger deeper than any Graviga spell you’ve thrown), at least Jeux-France has a few nicer-quality screencaps of whatshername, as well as images of a few other elements. Some may be familiar from the trailer, while others we may not have seen before. While there are screens which do look like they’re just a few frames after some of the other screens you’ve seen in the past, they still show more of the game’s target graphic quality, what could possibly turn out to be the GUI, and of course, whatshername.

With an ambitious aim of hoping to get a playable build of the game ready in time “for E3 2007” (what are they calling the new one now?), we all cross our fingers hoping to death that they would meet this ambitious aim and give us something to celebrate with huge fireworks explosions in all Mako reactors.

In the meantime, this writer only asks that Squeenix grant him one gift for the new year: by the Occuria, tell me, what is her name?!?!?! And… is she single?

More screenshots await after the Jump!
