Final Fantasy XIII in 2008

For those of you who haven't already heard from other sources: Final Fantasy XIII will not be arriving anytime this year.  That means you won't be getting your greedy paws on Square Enix's next major masterpiece until 2008--likely early if you live in Japan, and considerably later in the rest of the world.  Nothing official is set yet, of course.

To ease the blow of this bittersweet news, feast your eyes on an all-new, beautiful hi-res screenshot of Lightning, FFXIII's protagonist.
