Final Fantasy XIII Artbook Lands On iPhone

I use my iPhone for practically everything (even gauging how I sleep), but I never thought I would use it to view artwork. After downloading Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII: Larger-Than-Life Gallery to my iPhone, which just released today for a shocking $8.99, I probably won't use it for art again.

The Larger-Than-Life Gallery only offers 24 images, and many are of the characters against white backdrops. Zooming in on the images works to a point, but when I tried to frame a character's face in the iPhone's screen, I often ran into pixelization. The images are too small to bring out the fine details in crystal clear clarity. You can assign the images to a calendar that can only be viewed in this application (meaning it takes two clicks to view it), or take a snapshot to save the image to your iPhone's photo gallery and make it your wallpaper.

Since this application weighs in at a hefty 53.4 MB, you'll have to be connected to Wi-Fi or iTunes to download it. If you heed my advice, steer clear of doing so until it plummets in price, unless you really need new wallpaper.
