New scans show off the first in-game screenshots for Lightning Returns By Erren Van Duine on December 19, 2012 at 5:42 PM

The full scan from VJump has surfaced online, including the first ever screenshots of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.

The screenshots reveal the town of Luxerion, which is said to be home to a group of people who worship the god Bhunivelze. The game will be much more action oriented, allowing Lightning to traverse the environment, including elements of stealth. For example, she is trailing a group of strange people dressed in white clothing who have been showing up at night. Monsters appear in town as well, including a behemoth that Lightning has engaged in combat. As the sole protagonist, she has awoken from a long crystal sleep now tasked with saving the collapsing world.

Her new outfit comes into clearer detail as well and reveals much more than was originally thought. Lightning also has been upgraded from a visual standpoint, sporting an all around nicer character model. If you look closely in one of the scenes, you can see Chocolina near the facing of one of the buildings.

    So as I suspected, she’s actually wearing a full bodysuit and her thighs/sides/back are NOT exposed. Awesome. This looks damn amazing, and I am incredibly excited for it.

    This looks really, really interesting. I’m so excited. I can’t wait for the trailer! :)

    I… kinda like the outfit. It’s just this skirt-thing that’s REALLY weird, “pants” or whatever would make it perfect.

    Environments look good, eh. Stealth sounds fun. Can’t wait for the trailer.

    If you go to the full-res image and look at the part where she seems to be running up a wall, it clearly shows that she’s wearing a black and white body suit underneath the belt.

    Which, for the record, is called as fauld- It’s a type of armored belt/skirt.

    The top of it is fine… the bottom part is hideous.

    that’s exactly what i said. it’s that stupid half skirt, half pants thing she’s wearing. it begs the question, “why?”.

    AGREED. Without them the costume would just look SO SO much more put together.

    I like the whole costume, the bottom part kinda reminds me of aqua’s costume from kingdom hearts
