As the title suggests, new screenshots of Final Fantasy XIV have been released into the World Wide Web, along with the alpha footage that was on show at Gamescom. Does anyone know what this Gamescom thing is that everyone’s been talking about?

While we try to suppress our sarcasm, head over to Joystiq.com and have a gander at the new gallery which, by Joystiq’s own description, is rather ‘green’.

If static images don’t do it for you, go and watch the alluded-to video, which demonstrates the reworked combat interface as characters pursue and battle what look like overweight chickens. You’ve got to watch it now we’ve told you that!

All joking aside, Square-Enix's latest looks incredible. Check it out.
