Issue 46 of OXM goes on sale tomorrow and Final Fantasy fans are in for a treat.

There's a huge 6-page preview of Final Fantasy XIII, as we're the first 360 mag to get a hands-on play-test of Square-Enix's epic RPG!

"We're sitting in developer Square-Enix's Tokyo headquarters having the world's first hands on with the game," writes Gillen McAllister. "20 minutes of blockbuster cutscenes, frantically fast turn-based battles, cooler-than-thou characters and monsters beating the seven shades out of each other."

What does he have to say about the new battle system? What did the cutscenes show? And what does he think of the game thus far? Find out tomorrow in Issue 46 of OXM!
