Are you excited about next year’s release of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII? Can you not stand having to wait a few more months to discover the ultimate fate of Lightning and her companions? Well, you’ll have to keep waiting, but you can at least get a sneak preview today.

Square Enix revealed the entire opening cinematic of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII this morning. If you’ve avoided every single trailer thus far for fear of spoilers, you’ll want to avoid this too. For everybody else, sit back and bask in what may be the last pre-rendered cutscene to ever appear in a home console-based Final Fantasy game.

If that whet your appetite for more Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, you’ll definitely want to check out the latest gameplay trailer. You’ll also get your first look at Lightning’s Aerith costume.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII launches on February 11 for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
