Final Fantasy Versus 13/Normal 13 Scans :P

For the first time in a while we are graced with some new Final Fantasy 13 scans. Amongst the scans are an array of new characters and guardians, it would seem that Square-Enix is gradually giving us some new visual and textual information regarding this game. Not that these scans are missing the typical full page Lightning visual, because there not :P.

Anyway here is a summary of what some of the scans translations say:

Built by a great entity, it is a society floating in the sky, enclosed in a "shell" - Cocoon.

It flourishes, protected by the great machines and living creatures invented by the Crystal.

The inhabitants of Cocoon, in a long period of tranquility, fear infection from the outside.

Outside the shell, an underworld --- the entity of "Pulse" awakens. Fearing this faceless invader, the people begin to suspect one another, and hatred takes root.

Cocoon's government, wishing for stability, takes emergency measures. They arrest large numbers of citizens, suspected of being "infected from the outside", and announced that they would be compelled to migrate to this underworld, "Pulse". In reality, it meant banishment, but the fate which awaited them was even more cruel than that...

The crystal, a symbol of harmony, chose a person to whom they would entrust destiny... to lead the world.

She was chosen.

To be the enemy of mankind, who will ruin the world.

Now enjoy the visuals:
