After the ennitial success and experience gained from my first Pre-Release Illustration Wallpaper featuring Zidane and Kuja as seen in Final Fantasy Dissidia [link] , I thought it might be a good idea to do another one.
I was thinking about doing The Warrior of Light and Garland, also from Dissidia, but instead settled on one of the more interesting scans that have been floating around.

These are the characters of Final Fantasy XIII Agito, one of the games comming out in SE latest 'Fabula Nova Crystalis' project, kinda similar to the 'Compilations of Final Fantasy VII', but all at once at the start, bringing about many unique stories with diffirent characters linked in ways that transcend life itself. This particular game, Agito, will be the Mobile incarnation of the project, similar to Before Crisis. This however is making the release a little shifty and doubtful outside of Japan.

I would really like to see it come out though, as these characters look to be very intersting indeed. The trailer makes it quite obvious that the hero of the story is the blond-haired kid with the cards, and as a blind guess, I'm geussing that he will be attending some sort of magical fantasy college for gifted kids. Looks like his nemesis is the dude up the top with the dual pistols. Same hair colour too, so there might be a blood relation...

Once again Tetsuya Nomura has outdone himself with a very nice original design, he sure is gifted at creating appealing uniforms (Organization XIII's Fanbase is proof of that -_-"). I wouldn't mind doing some Fanart at some point, after I get all my other plans out of the way. We'll see.

The work involved was far less this time, as the scans from my source were less cluttered in the background and so didn't need as much editing.
Still, despite this, I'd like to remind people that I did put work into this, and stealing the image to post as your own is just plain selfish. As long as you achnowledge that you got it from me, that's fine, there's no need to ask.

I'm doing the same thing for the people I get it from too, so you should do the same.
