[Kagari]

Direct feed shots are here, along with a slightly extended version of the trailer.

Story:

Several hundred years have passed since she fell into a deep slumber. The world, diseased by Chaos, is on the bring of destruction. The people, hopeless and full of despair, stand by hopelessly and watch the horror unfold in front of their eyes. As the end draws near, she awakens. She is Lightning, humanity's last hope.

Only 13 days remain until the end of the world.

As the chosen one, Lightning battles her way through the final 13 days in an attempt to save humanity and accomplish her ultimate goal.

With a brand-new battle system, the player will be controlling Lightning and Lightning alone. The Paradigm Shift feature has been replaced with a unique tactical system that will provide a fresh, interactive battle experience.

Lightning can jump, climb, swing and slide. Players can enjoy a variety of different actions by interacting with obstacles and objects. Explore every inch of the world using buildings, decorations, and furniture at your disposal.

Here we go again.

 

[Squire]

omg so good lightning forever <3 <3 <3

 

[LuuKyK]

x3

 

[metalslimer]

Vita version looks nice.

 

[Y2Kev]

Look at all the exciting internal questioning!

"Could this be..."

"Could that be..."

Can't wait!

 

[Tomat]

Armor is 30% sexy, 100% goofy.

Look at all the exciting internal questioning!

"Could this be..."

"Could that be..."

Can't wait!

This is why I hate many JRPG characters ._.

 

[cj_iwakura]

The game looks fascinating, but I have a feeling this is a gaiden game, not the finale of XIII.

Also, removing paradigm shift was the mother of all bad ideas.

 

[metalslimer]

You shut your mouth now!!!

 

[Wario64]

up up down down left right left right

 

[Jarmel]

I can't unsee the lopsided boob.

 

[Aeana]

It's Lightning's final journey!!

 

[Riposte]

IDK, doesn't look worse than most PS3/360 games.

 

[CorrisD]

Her outfit looks even more silly in the promo pic than in just the trailer, what is with the underwear, it looks like it has been taken from a 70s workout video.

 

[cj_iwakura]

It's Lightning's final journey!!

Good, then XIII-3 can focus on Sazh and Ultros' magical adventures.

 

[metalslimer]

Also did they steal Platinum's engine because it reminds me a lot of Bayonetta.

And the framerate problems are still there *sigh*

 

[Iceblade]

This doesn't look bad at all.

 

[Y2Kev]

Also did they steal Platinum's engine because it reminds me a lot of Bayonetta.

they took the ps3 version. dag-nabbit square!

 

[DR2K]

Looks a little better. But my expectations are not high.

 

[Aeana]

What's going on with the girl in the back?

 

[Stark]

The lighting and dat Bhunivelzei in the final screen looks beautiful.

Looks like their still working on it and its definitely before polishing, but nice extended trailer!

 

[Fuu]

I dig what they're trying to do with that city, but mostly because I'm projecting after seeing that cool artwork.

edit: I really like this screen.

 

[Scum]

Also did they steal Platinum's engine because it reminds me a lot of Bayonetta.

And the framerate problems are still there *sigh*

That's exactly what I thought too.

 

[Femmeworth]

The Assassin's Creed influence extends further it seems.

What's going on with the girl in the back?

Nekomimi.

 

[Kenai]

That background lady made me laugh REALLY HARD just now, can't quite explain why.

But anyway, I am mildly interested, which is more than I can say for FF13-2!

 

[epmode]

I remember when I used to get excited about Final Fantasy games. It wasn't even that long ago!

 

[Aeana]

The Assassin's Creed influence extends further it seems.

 

[Dark Schala]

The Assassin's Creed influence extends further it seems.

Shit, beat me to it. :lol

I wouldn't be surprised if the glasses doubled as eagle vision.

I'm still not very impressed.

Edit: Furniture?! Luxerion has its own Ikea, confirmed.

 

[Esura]

This is so beautiful. Lightning is absolutely stunning in these shots and the details on her armor is just crazy. Her chest looks slightly bigger too but I think it's the armor making it look bigger than they are. Black does that y'know.

I cannot wait to get my hands on Lightning Returns.

 

[LuuKyK]

The new music.

The new battle footage.

The new screens.

Everything.

 

[Styles]

Her hair. *.*

 

[Dennis]

 

[jediyoshi]

Goddess lookin pretty good

Not sure what's goin on with the whole
everything else

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Let me guess, AC puzzles?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Lighting Returns: Final Fantasy XIII |OT| furniture at your disposal

 

[Y2Kev]

look, a courtesan from assassin's creed!

dammit dennis!!!

 

[Squire]

*waits for Electivirus jizz post*

 

[iavi]

The outfit looks a lot better when not in awkward angles.

 

[Toth]

Looks a bit sharper in this trailer and I am thrilled to see the localization being worked on so quickly. Her new armor is still too skimpy but nothing unusual for an Amano fan ( see Terra's and Cele's artwork for examples)

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

You know the outfit is growing on me, is not good but is not that bad.

 

[DMeisterJ]

I'm so ready for this game.

 

[Dark Schala]

Her chest looks slightly bigger too but I think it's the armor making it look bigger than they are. Black does that y'know.

What? No, black slims. Anyone knows that.

 

[george_us]

The artistic direction is genuinely hideous.

 

[chickdigger802]

Explore every inch of the world using buildings, decorations, and furniture at your disposal.

I can't stop laughing, holy shit!

 

[abadguy]

Looks alright...

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

:\ It would have been best if they just released those screens instead of the trailer.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Heh, game looks really nice! Still would prefer Noel, but eh, we'll see.

I can't stop laughing, holy shit!

...Why?

 

[survivor]

Lightning can jump, climb, swing and slide

I find it funny that this is somehow supposed to be an important feature that should be part of the PR

Anyway, the running still looks slow. I really hope they are working hard on fixing the framerate.

 

[Ravidrath]

I will probably play through this and hate myself for it.

All I can say at this point is that I am pro-Niblet.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Lightning is one female character thats not really sexualized imo.
