Square Enix has released a new batch of screenshots for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII which introduces us to the land of The Dead Dunes.

“This region is covered with endless desert sands as far as the eye can see. Within it can be found the shanties which form a base for treasure hunters seeking their fortune in the arid wilderness, as well as ancient ruins said to conceal a divine treasure…”

One of the screens also details the “Lightspeed” ability, a time manipulation skill, and Lightning’s healing ability.
