Vanille is so spunky looking

There's a new Final Fantasy 13 trailer out and the english subbed version is below. If you go to FFXIII's website (which is absolutely amazing btw; be sure to check out the screenshots of all the characters as well as all the other pictures) you'll also notice that all of the character's have now been named, that and there's a new guy joining the crew that wasn't mentioned before. He's black, has a funny little goatee and his name is Sazh Katzroy. In his main picture on the website he's also holding a little yellow chick which is really cute. The man previously known as Mr. 13 cm is called Snow Villiers, which as predicted is a weather-themed name. We already knew that the main girl was named Lightning and that's the only name given for her on the website. The girl with orange pigtails is named Oerba Dia Vanille. That's a seriously crazy name but I guess she is a crazy forest person. I'm sad to say that I couldn't find a translation for the character descriptions on the site yet and I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

Anyway, if you do watch the trailer, (which I highly suggest you do) you'll notice a lot of Lightning and Snow in action. At first I thought the trailer started out with Lightning talking about "the beginning of the end" but then I realized that it's actually Vanille in that weird little robe. I've also come to the conclusion that Snow must be really huge for Vanille to look like a child in comparison when she volunteers to help fight. Sazh doesn't even show up in the trailer as far as I noticed. There is a strange guy that looks like FFX's Wakka and he looks like he's part of Snow's original group as well as another girl with a froofy pirate shirt. It looks like Final Fantasy fans will have to keep waiting for the North American release until 2010 though, since a date for Japanese release hasn't even been given yet and it's supposed to come out this year.
