Not a huge update, but at least it includes a pretty picture. Courtesy of site visitor XxGalbadiaxX, we have a new high-res image of FFXIII's Lightning, suitable of wallpapering your desktop, or just gazing at with a blank fanboy/girl stare. :) Click below for full size.

Yes... news really is that slow lately. XD
At any rate, according to Famitsu's most wanted charts, FFXIII is #1 (as it has been for quite some time). Versus XIII is also holding strong at #14, outpacing other Square Enix offerings like Dragon Quest Swords (#19), FFVII: Crisis Core (#20), and Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition (#29).
Come on, Square Enix... give us some real news already. An interview, a two second clip... a passing comment? Anything!

IGN has a nifty little update on FFXIII and Versus, that includes some new/more detailed info.
Final Fantasy XIII
* The opening scene will be a real-time battle scene surpassing what has been seen in the trailers
* The story begins with something from the lower world invading Cocoon and causing mass panic.
* Residents of Cocoon are fearful of the outside world, and regard "influence" from the outside world as something like a virus. Those who have been influenced by the outside world are exiled..
* The people of Cocoon are concerned about their home falling from the sky.
* People who do things that could make Cocoon fall, or who could potentially have to ability to do so, are exiled.
* The blond-haired man from the most recent trailer is big and strong enough to run around while carrying two people.
* The blond man's foot size is 33 cm.
* A playable demo is in the works, as SE wants to get one out as soon as possible.
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
* The game should be able to feature battles in environments have great differences in height.
* Battles will make use of the full environment, including what is above and below the characters.
* Players won't be able to warp freely to any spot on the battle field... only to where you have placed the character's sword.
* You can throw the sword as well, and then warp to it.
* Versus will have multi-character parties, and party members will have their own abilities and weapons.
* According to Nomura, we can expect something similar to Kingdom Hearts.
* The game will include SIXAXIS support.

Sorry for the lack of updates over the past few days. I've been busy shifting real-life things around in preparation of changing jobs this week. :)
There are some new FFXIII details making the rounds on the internet. What we know:
Final Fantasy XIII Story
* The game will center on Lightning, the female lead.
* The blond male character seen in the TGS trailer has been describe by Nomura as "cowboy-like"... Nomura when on to cryptically say that the relationship between he and Lightning was "not the usual sort".
* The blond character's name will have something to do with weather.
* Cocoon is a floating city sealed in a shell, and Crystals are used in the creations of powerful machines and creatures.
* The world outside of Cocoon is known as Pulse. Pulse is greatly feared by the people of Cocoon.
* The government of Cocoon has begun rounding up people considered "suspicious" and exiling them to Pulse in order to ensure "public safety".
* Lightning is chosed by a Crystal to protect the city... which also sets her against the government of Cocoon, who believe she will cause their downfall and ultimately the downfall of Cocoon.
Final Fantasy XIII Gameplay
* FFXIII will use the Active Time Battle (ATB) system
* There will be little to no delay between the issuing of commands and the characters taking action.
* Summons will have a different role than usual. They will be able to change form (Shiva will turn into a motorcycle for Lightning), and will not be limited to a single element.
* Characters will gain the ability to create certain items from the Crystals.
Final Fantasy Versus XIII Story
* Versus will take place in modern setting, but will feature swords and magic.
* The kingdom in which the main character lives is an isolated one.
* The Crystal in the city is the last of its kind.
* Nomura says that the story is not the usual good vs. evil fare. The game will focus on the last battle for the last Crystal, and the outcome of this battle will usher in a new era.
Final Fantasy Versus XIII Gameplay
* The battle system will be much more action-oriented.
* Characters will have weapons that differ from that of the main character.
* The main character will be able to teleport to where his weapon is thrown.
Final Fantasy Agito XIII
* The mobile phone game is being developed in full 3D.
* The protagonist will have the task of protecting a Crystal.
* Agito may be available near the end of this year, making it the first title in the Fabula Nova Crystallis project to be released.

Site visitors Zell & Tony (Italy), along with their Latin professor have been kind enough to give us a second, more accurate, translation of the music that plays during the Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer. Their translation is below:
LATIN:
Tellus dormit
et liberi in diem faciunt
numquam extinguunt
ne expergisci possint.
Omnia dividit
tragoedia coram
amandum quae.
Et nocte perpetua
ehem vel vera visione
par oram videbo te
mane tempu expergiscendi.
----------
ENGLISH:
Somnus Nemoris (Dream of the Wood)
The kingdom sleeps
and children sacrify theirselves day by day
until they extinguish,
and they will never awake.
This tragedy destroys,
in front of them,
every beloved thing.
And in this never-ending night,
Look there, the real vision
on the edge; I will see you
and the next morning the time will awake.
They have also been kind enough to subtitle the trailer and upload it to YouTube.
