『ライトニング リターンズ ファイナルファンタジーXIII』は“ヒラリズム”に注目!?　開発スタッフインタビュー【完全版】 - ファミ通.com

-Chocolina is in the game to support the player but in a different role than the one she had in FFXIII-2.

-While Lightning's FFXIII-2 outfit was designed by Kamikokuryo, the new one is by Tetsuya Nomura. Toriyama wanted to emphasize the red and white present in Lightning's FFXIII outift, and using that as a base the new one was born.

-In this game, once the game begins the world ends in 13 days, but coinciding with its end is also the birth of a new world. Lightning's task as a "liberator/releaser of souls" is to guide them to the new world.

-Lightning's clothes are the clothes of a soul liberator, and the clothes and task are given by Bhunivelze. That's because while the "crystal myth" involves many gods, out of the ones that are concerned in the "Lightning Saga", Bhunivelze is the only one who hasn't made an appearance.

-The people of Luxerion quietly await the end, however, a bunch of serial murders start happening, these are apparently committed by a group of people who oppose Bhunivelze's creed.

-As previously stated, each of the game's four continents has its own concept associated with it. Luxerion's is "murder", because they wanted it to have a mystery component aimed at slightly more mature audiences.

-While people know the world is coming to end, they don't know only 13 days remain.

-Chocobos are still in and you still can ride them.

-Unlike FFXIII and FFXIII-2 where to stagger an enemy all you had to do was fill up an enemy's chain gauge, this time you have to fulfill a bunch of other conditions besides that.

-This time there are no QTEs.

-New equipment can be bought from the various vendors in the game, or made if you have the right components.

-Apparently "decorations" like the sunglasses Lightning is seen with in the latest trailer are in the game.

-Lightning's growth is tied to completing the quests you get from people in-game. From battles you get components to make new equipment and points to alter the amount of availiable time before the end.

Re: FFXIII [JUMP FESTA　2013 Trailer]

so no level progression from random battles?.... wow this game is sounding shittier and shittier..........

Re: FFXIII [JUMP FESTA　2013 Trailer]

Actually the level system now could be the most interesting and more meaningful way to develop instead of simply level grinding through combat (still used for equipment and stuff), so each still has their rewards, mew.

Re: FFXIII [JUMP FESTA　2013 Trailer]

Still not totally getting the whole crap with Luxerion though...

I mean, with regards to XIII-2's ending... it was way, way WAY in the future so... wtf? @___@ the story has gotten to convoluted and twisted, I f'ing hate it when plots use time travel.

Nope. What happened is that FF13 was in development hell for an eternity while Square-Enix haggled with Microsoft over breaking their exclusivity arrangement with Sony. So they had a metric ton of assets that ended up on the cutting room floor because it didn't fit in with the rest of the stuff they'd created.

Now they're just taking the same engine, tweaking it, and using all those assets that their artists spent years creating and shoving them together into FFXIII-2 and Lightning Returns. Since the art assets are already a sunk cost and the engine is mostly done, it costs them a fraction of the resources that a full game like Versus or Kingdom Hearts 3 would, so they're cash-grabbing because they can.

Re: FFXIII [JUMP FESTA　2013 Trailer]

Played and completed 13, To me it just felt empty even maxing out the weopons, I felt short changed for the money I paid for it. I played the next 13 Demo and hated it. As soon as the pokemon-ness began to show I was like "screw this i'm pushing 30"
Now they've re-named dresspheres and passed it off as something new?
Didn't we all hate X-2?
I'm starting to think the series died at X. I don't coun't XI as one of those because I've played the other FF games multiple times but none thatI've played continuously for 6 yrs.

I don't even think they are trying anymore.

Re: FFXIII [JUMP FESTA　2013 Trailer]

X-2 is actually one of the best ones, mew. though maybe if it had the FFXII world treatment, it would be much more adventureous.
