Final Fantasy XIII Concept Art Revealed and Analysed by Devs

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is now officially available and, while the concluding chapter to Lightning's story may not be to everyone's taste, no one can deny that the art and design of the world is as stunning as ever.

We recently sat down with two legendary Final Fantasy producers to look through and analyse some rare concept art for the title, as well as discuss how ideas for new titles take shape and are developed.

Each day this week, we'll be posting a new video looking at three pieces of concept art. So if you've ever wanted a deeper insight into how the Final Fantasy games are made, let Yoshinori Kitase and Yuji Abe, the producer and game design director of Lightning Returns, guide you through it.
