Jenova to return in Final Fantasy XIII?
With Final Fantasy XIII news becoming a little dry it gives Final Fantasy fans more time to focus more on the following image from XIII. Below is an image of an “unidentified being” released by Square Enix to play a part in the upcoming game Final Fantasy XIII. Unlike the “Prince” from Versus and “Lightning” from XIII, this image has so far given everyone nothing but grief in uncovering its purpose or identity. Many fans however have their suspicions of Kitase’s and Nomura’s mysterious being. 
Jenova?
Final Fantasy XIII is being dubbed the Final Fantasy VII of the 21st Century. Kitase wants XIII to have the same impact VII had on fans hearts. Such so, character designer Tetsuya Nomura was asked to create a “female version of Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII”. Could Nomura have been asked to create Jenova from VII to appear in XIII as well?
The image above (XIII) compared to the image below (Jenova from VII) bares a similar resemblance with slight design differences.
Jenova from VII
So far some Final Fantasy fans rubbish the claims saying its “too big” a link between VII and XIII. And in their own words; “that’s if its not a super secret remake of Final Fantasy VII”, which is even more outrageous. Isn’t it?..
Most fans however have a more liberal approach claiming they wouldn’t be surprised if it was similar to Jenova from VII, maybe even being the same species of extraterrestrial life that crashed landed and brought havoc to VII’s world.
But is it really “too big” a link? 
Previously Final Fantasy titles have always had a history of leaving referances to characters and stories from the past titles ie. X-2 heavily hints that shinra is shinra of shinra corpartion from VII.
In fact, a few Final Fantasy fans believe that all the Final Fantasy’s are set on the same planet, just at very different times and places.
Whether this being is Jenova (from VII) or one of a similar species is questionable, but its certainly not worth throwing in the bin considering Final Fantasy’s referencing history.
I’ll let you decide between yourselves whether this is really Jenova.
