Lightning Returns debut trailer reveals final part of Final Fantasy 13

Square Enix has dropped the first trailer for its final, final, final chapter of Final Fantasy... XIII. The peek at Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII reveals Lightning will be bouncing around a very European city in some outlandish garb. If you didn't know better, you might swear you were looking at a JRPG take on Assassin's Creed.

Square Enix has dropped the first trailer for its final, final, final chapter of Final Fantasy... XIII. The peek at Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13 reveals Lightning will be bouncing around a very European city in some outlandish garb. If you didn't know better, you might swear you were looking at a JRPG take on Assassin's Creed.

Lightning Returns is "world-driven," Square Enix has said, and she'll be changing things as she adventures. The world also has simulated time which controls characters' actions. People will lunch at noon, for example, and monsters will be more common at night.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13 is slated to launch on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2013.

      So, no PC release? You'd think it would be easy since they're porting it to XBOX, which is essentially a tiny PC.

        If FFXIII and FFXIII-2 were not released on PC, what makes you think this would be? I'd love it on PC, but not surprised at all that it won't happen.

          And at the end of the day, they're doing you a favor.

            If this wasn't a FF game people wouldn't rag on them. They're enjoyable games despite being such a huge departure from a FF game.

      One thing I'll give them, they still have pretty awesome and beautiful monster design.

      I'm honestly shocked at how ugly this game looks. This looks embarrassingly bad..
