Famitsu have released a new batch of direct feed shots for Final Fantasy XIII which was previously featured in the magazine. If you look closely you can notice a number of changes in these shots from the recent trailer we saw (which revealed Nora and the battle system for the first time) The lighting has vastly improved, the detail is greater, and previous complaints such as squared off fingers/guns have all but disappeared, so it seems these shots are from a later build of the game than that of the trailer.
These are the four (of five) Nora members, rescuing Vanille and the other captives
Snow
Nora members, again
Gadot, of Nora. His element is fire, which despite opposing Snow's Ice element, he's just as hot-headed personality wise
Lebreau, of Nora. She's the motherly figure within the group, which contrasts her butterfly and beach scenery inspired skant clothing
Maqui, of Nora. The youngest of the group, he's pretty self conscious of his slim body, and so wears many layers. He respects Snow greatly, who saved him from his Otaku-like shut in lifestyle - and so his clothing design takes many elements from Snow's own clothing.
Vanille - this particular scene shown in the trailer now appears to have many visual improvements, in particular her fingers are much more defined (and face shape too!)
