The development team at Square Enix in charge of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is revealing a whole new slew of images linked to the core gameplay mechanics, designed to give all fans of the experience a chance to see exactly what the new chapter in the long-running series brings.

There are battle screens offered, which capture the core of the new active time battle system, and there are also shots that show Lightning during more quiet exploration portions or while talking to other characters.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will focus on the concept of time and is designed for multiple playthroughs.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will be launched in the first half of 2013 and will be offered on both the PlayStation 3 from Sony and the Xbox 360 from Microsoft.
