It's not every day that you wake up and find a new set of Final Fantasy XIII screenshots have been released into the wild. But today happens to be one of the days. A delicious selection of 18 screens arrived depicting combat environments along with some stills snapped from in-game cut scenes.

Bryn says: I have to say that these new screens have stirred something inside me that I've not felt for a long, long time. And that is simply an interest in a new Final Fantasy game. I'm not sure why XIII is making me sit up and take interest, but it is.

The last FF game I played in earnest was Final Fantasy VIII, and that was a looooong time ago. Are you excited or have you been served one too many FFs over the years?
