Even more so if it’s possible to see how this affects the world they live in and how people will react differently to this unnatural situation. It’s the very concept that people haven’t been able to die a natural death for 500 years that seems most intriguing so far. As is witnessing how their personalities have changed after the 500 years since the events of XIII-2. The ability to catch up with returning characters, like the stubborn hero Snow, is great. It’s safe to say that it Lightning Returns feels quite linear so far, given the narrow nature of the enclosed area in the demonstration, but videos have shown off much bigger areas which the character can navigate freely. Hopefully this small number is enough when facing some of the tougher battles found in the full game. What feels odd is that Lightning is only given access to a small number of items at a time. Fortunately, this bar automatically recharges when powers assigned to this role are not being used – which gives players an incentive for using different roles. It can be quite tricky to use attacks, given the addition of a limited bar for each role.
There is now the ability to switch between three roles which gives greater control over what the character does – rather than hoping two other AI characters make the right decisions.
Perhaps a fitting choice given the doomed fate awaiting this world.Ĭombat has been given a drastic revamp to further reinforce the idea that this is more than just a sequel.
The game favours a darker style instead of the colourful environments found in previous entries. It’s up to Lightning – who, by now, is known as saviour – to try and save as many souls as possible so they can go to the new world. A cut-scene plays right after starting the demo which explains how the world born from the ending of XIII-2 is coming to an end in thirteen(nice touch) days. Unlike its predecessors, Lightning Returns seems eager to quickly introduce players to the main goal. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII sees the ending of a trilogy that has received its fair share of both negative and positive feedback.Īs the title suggests, the heroine from the first game is back to take on the lead role, but is this enough to warrant playing through to the conclusion of a story fuelled with critical defiance?
