News: Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII announced for PS3, 360 - ComputerAndVideoGames.com

Square Enix has announced Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, a "brand-new story and world" set for release on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2013.

Revealed at a Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Event this morning , Square Enix said the game - the last entry in the "Lightning saga" - will feature the FFXIII heroine in a tense finale as a doomsday clock counts down 13 days until the end of the world.

The countdown - a constant presence in the corner of the screen - will tick towards the apocalypse as players make decisions and explore the four islands of new locale Navus Partus, Square Enix explained.

Lightning herself will feature customisable looks and combat styles, the publisher added, and the combat system is described as a hybrid of both FFXIII games, with real-time elements and time-based moves that drain the doomsday countdown.

Square Enix stopped short of calling the new game an action title but said it is developing Lightning Returns with 'responsive' control input in mind.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13′s ‘newness’ discussed, ‘logo not inspired by Skyrim’ | VG247

Speaking with Kotaku, the game’s battle director Yuji Abe discussed the game’s darker edge, and how he hopes all of the saga’s key characters will find a sense of hope by the time the end credits roll around.

Abe stated, “‘A battle with destiny,’ which is a theme at the root of the Lightning Saga, becomes a heavier burden on their shoulders as more events and people are sacrificed with each instalment.”

“By spending three games to depict their stories, I’m hoping that they are released from what binds them to their destinies, and they will get to see an end filled with a true sense of hope.”

The game follows Lightning as she attempts to halt the destruction of time. Taking place over 13 days, Lightning can add time to the game’s Doomsday Clock to halt the destruction. It’s a neat premise that riffs on the Historia Crux theme started by FFXIII-2. You can read more about the plot here.

Art director Isamu Kamikokuryo also dipped into the artistic inspirations for the game’s darker, more gothic locales, “When I first looked over the proposal documents given to me by the director, I thought it would be a great fit to have the following three elements as the main pillars: the elements of a mechanical design, which is consistently used throughout the FFXIII series, elements of fantasy, which is characteristic of the whole Final Fantasy series, and an element of gothic design, in a very broad kind of way.”

“We are picturing the streets and alleys of London around the time of the Industrial Revolution, near the end of the century.”

Kotaku also posed to the team that the game’s logo looks quite different to previous logos in the series, even suggesting that the developer has attempted to ape Skyrim’s motif.

Wha'ever ...

[Tudoran]

vad ca din nou au schimbat costumul. Cu noul look si environment zici ca e Assassins Creed...still not impressed. Eu nu inteleg de ce Square Enix ii acorda asa de multa atentie lui Lightning (3 jocuri in care e protagonista si Dissidia Duodecim in care tot ea e cea mai importanta desi mai sunt inca 5-6 personaje noi). Desi am jucat doar FF XIII, pot spune ca Lightning e una dintre cele mai slab conturate personaje (singurul ei scop e sa o salveze pe Serah, indiferent de metoda si cine altcineva e ranit si ce ar putea pati. Zici ca e un cal cu obloane).

Ce ma bucura e faptul ca acesta e ultimul joc din "trilogia FF XIII"...poate dupa asta lanseaza odata Versus sau a Realm Reborn pt PS3.

interesanta ideea aceea cu extinct monsters dar ma enerveaza ca mai exista un mod mai dificil care ofera "loot si abilitati mai bune"... it's either old school...or it's cheap.

17 minute de gameplay din Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Wildlands Demo Gameplay. Looks lovely

[Tudoran]

gameplay-ul tot nu ma incanta, iar la art style parca e ceva mai western decat celelalte Final Fantasy-uri. Si ca de obicei, din punct de vedere grafic e superb

[OEE]

Macar in acesta avem un singur personaj in party, prefer asa decat sa fie 3 persoanaje dar cu optiunea de a controla unul singur...

Off: tot mai mult astept X-HD

Stai ca nu inteleg. In Lightning Returns nu vei putea controla in lupte decat un singur personaj? That would be a first!
