THE SETUP

Welcome to Shibuya, a mishmash of attitudes and styles in the heart of Tokyo.

A boy named Neku wakes up in a crowded intersection, alone and unaware of how he got there. Then, he receives a weird text: “Clear this mission...or face erasure.” With that, Neku is thrust into a life-or-death Game that sends him scrambling down streets paved with one riddle after another...

What is the Reaper’s Game? Why is Neku a Player, and what is he playing for? Will the Game really end if he survives all 7 days? Another mystery is always around the corner.

THE PAYOFF

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is the direct sequel to Final Fantasy XIII-2, part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy series. Intended to end the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, it features Lightning as the protagonist. The game takes place hundreds of years after Final Fantasy XIII-2 and will feature "a brand-new story, world, characters, and an enhanced gameplay system", according to Square Enix.

Gameplay

Players will take control of Final Fantasy XIII's main character, Lightning, as the only playable character. The battle system will be a heavily modified version of the Command Synergy Battle system the two previous games used and will feature real time features, such as freely taking control of Lightning's movements and attacks, and a real time block system. Players will be able to assign four commands to the controller's face buttons, allowing her to execute actions with precise timing. The battle system will feature an ATB gauge.

Lightning will be fully customizable and will have a wide array of costumes, weapons, and different battle styles. The game also plays on the world driven concept with a "doomsday clock" element with Lightning needing to stop the destruction within thirteen days. She can turn back the clock by defeating enemies or performing certain actions. Sometimes, if Lightning helps people, it will reduce the life of the world. The game has a feature called the "Overclock", which allows Lightning to slow the time for everything except her, at the cost of consuming time from the thirteen day limit.

Story

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will conclude the story of Lightning and put her in her final battle. The game will follow Lightning's quest to save the world as it will face Armageddon in thirteen days. The game takes place hundreds of years after Final Fantasy XIII-2. Director Motomu Toriyama has stated that Lightning is much stronger now, and is a 'considerably more refined person'. It has been stated that unlike its predecessor, the game will feature just one ending. It has been confirmed that the characters from Final Fantasy XIII-2 will return, and Hope Estheim will aid Lightning by sending her messages via wireless com. In the game Lightning will enter the final battle against a fate brought about by a new deity.

Setting

The game is set in a world called Novus Partus (Latin for "New Offspring," "New Birth," or "Rebirth"), a world created when Gran Pulse and Valhalla came together. It is composed of four islands (two natural and two city-type) surrounded by a sea of chaos and connected by a monorail system. The game is said to contain traditional RPG elements such as dungeons, towns, and shops. The world is said to end in thirteen days, and it's up to Lightning to save it. Keywords for the world's design are "gothic, mechanical, and fantasy." According to Toriyama, the world will face constant changes by the hand of a new weather system and day/night cycles, with monsters also becoming more vicious at nighttime. The world is said to be finely detailed and changs in real time along with the passing of day and night and is said to have links to the real world, and "will see setups with the world of Final Fantasy entering into our everyday lives."
