The countdown has ended, and with it we have the latest rendition of the never ending Final Fantasy XIII trailer. However, it isn't at all as stale as usual. Nearly all of the trailer footage is new, featuring voice acting and new characters.
The trailer for Final Fantasy XIII has been shown at this year's Tokyo Game Show 2008. As expected from Square Enix based on what they've done over the past 2 years, most of the trailer was just re-hashed bits from old trailers. However, there was some new footage of sorts.
The first scene is a slightly extended version of a previous scene including "Pigtails Girl", who is now known as either Sarah or Seron. It highlights the landscape that's surrounding her, which actually looks very prehistoric, with what looks like dinosaurs around her.
Following this, there is no footage which reveals two new character, who both appear to be a villains. One is male, while the other is female and they both seem to be working for the Cocoon military.
The rest of the trailer contains similar footage to that of old, and at the end there is a tag line which reiterates that Final Fantasy XIII is still Playstation 3 exclusive in Japan and it will be released in 2009 in Japan.
