Cid and Vanille Featured in Latest Final Fantasy XIII Screens

Final Fantasy XIII's Cid and Oerba Dia Vanille are featured in Square Enix's latest onslaught of screens. All the shots are of in-game graphics, with Cid in a few shots with Lightning, Snow, and Oerba Yun Fang.

Vanille pairs up with her summon as well, Hecatoncheir, in a number of battle shots. She even pulls out finger guns like Liquid Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid 4, nice. Check out the screens below.

^ In a "quirky" irritant kinda way...?
You can add Rikku to that mix too. (X or X-2 versions)

Yeah no kidding, it's weird to see that in person still though. Like at E3, almost everyone I played a co-op or multiplayer game with were TERRIBLE.

Anywho, now I'm sort of tempted to write an article about Vanille, they're really spinning her as eye candy, someone needs to blatantly call SE out xD.


She really reminds me of Selphie - I mean, in that screenshot, she's even making gun motions with her hands. xD

It's blatantly obvious, I agree. However, it's not as bad as X-2 lol. That game really did go OTT, but there was very little complaining at the time.

These were my exact thoughts.
The problem is that they sometimes forget that hot characters need some depth too.

I'm not complaining about it too much though... :rolleyes:

I hope she packs sun screen O_O.

Cid looks like a pretty cool character so far,(If you hadn't already figured that out by my avatar xD) And yeah, OMG Vanille!

Yeah man, reminds me of a few of Barret's limit breaks >D. I'm still kinda iffy about these summons in battle though, when I played it at TGS they were basically untouchable. However, it was all in Japanese, and I had no clue what I was doing because of that xD. Hopefully they're not overpowered, and if they are, they're hard to power up!


Normally at events like TGS/E3 etcetera, they make the characters & summons extremely overpowered so people don't die in the demo and they can get the research they need to write about the game.
As you know, not many games journalists play games very well lol.

It happened with FF XIV at gamescom this year. The characters were buffed to the max, so it wouldn't surprise me if they did this with the summons on XIII.

Definitely.
I love Vanille. So cheeky, yet kinda badass.
A screen full of numbers is the way I like my RPG's. :P

Man, seriously, that summon looks fun as heck! This is my favourite shot by far:
Damian Posted on December 5th, 2009, 3:18 pm (EST) by Damian
Cool thanks for the heads up Kyle :D

As for Vanilles summon... How many guns do you need? seriously! lol
The game is looking awesome as always.
Cid looks a little like Noctis without the hair gel :D
