They’re somewhat new because you’ve probably seen them all before, but this time they’re in English (and at a higher resolution, I think). The shots show new protagonist Noel Kreiss in battle, a giant beast appearing out of a void in New Bodhum, Noel introducing himself (in the classy ‘First name. First name, last name.’ fashion), Noel trying to convince Serah of something, and some scenery.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is out this December in Japan, following a western release in early 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
