Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

[lovehearty42]

Why couldn't they just leave it well enough alone? I mean, FFXIII had a good story. It kept you wanting to play it (even if the gameplay was boring sometimes). FFXIII-2 was incredibly forced, especially considering that FFXIII tied up all the loose ends. I could understand a sequel based on retrieving Vanille and Fang from the Crystal Pillar, but the time travel bit was way out of left field, and not even that interesting of a concept (Chrono Trigger did it better). I think I'd be much happier with FFXIII if I can just forget these damn sequels exist.

Really though, I am excited for this game. Even after seeing this informative video:



A lot of the information here was posted in the OP, but some info isn't. He wraps up everything in this video, which is nice. Exactly how will they be marketing this game? Can we jump to conclusions? Will they market this at all? Will they keep everything a secret? It's really hard to tell.

Either way, I know there is some hate for Lightning, I have to say I absolutely love her as a character and I love this Lightning Saga.

Loveheart42, FFXIII seemed incredibly unfinished.

SPOILER!!!! Because spoiler tags are cool:

Leaving Fang and Vanille to hold the pillar did not sit well in my mind. We also didn't see what happened with Hope's Father. FFXIII-2 didn't help ease my mind either. With what happened to Light and Serah at the end...There's obviously something missing and there's a lot that needs to be explained. This third installment will hopefully ease that, but we'll see when the game comes out. I quite enjoyed FFXIII-2 as well. The time travel was not in left field for me. However, any possible misunderstanding was explained by a simple "It's a paradox!" line . It still wouldn't have been a proper Final Fantasy game without it.

Sure, everyone will have their own opinions and hate towards this Saga, but I like the whole idea and I like how far they've taken Lightning as a character.

Anywhoo,
