New info for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
Among other things the Publisher stated that the whole affair, lasting about 13 hours without counting the sidequests, will conclude with a "happy ending". The story is set immediately after the events of the XIII-2 and will feature characters already encountered in the previous episode; people from FFXIII the we will see exactly what as were, i.e. non-aging at all, probably due to the effects of the temporal chaos experienced previously.
As announced, will be only 13 days to the end of the world. Understand how long it remains through a watch that item; These watches are scattered throughout the scenarios. In the game world, one day will be about an hour, two of the real world. However, this will depend on the actions that we will commit: there will be times when the weather will spend faster and others where we can slow it down, such as killing certain creatures or successfully completing a specific mission. The scenarios will be very extensive and the player may move thanks to a kind of monorail linking the four islands of the archipelago in Partus Novus Sea of Chaos. Of the four islands, two will be more developed technologically.
In battle, as announced, we will have the opportunity to check only Lightning which never will be accompanied by a party as it was in the canons of the series. When will face a fight, Lightning can move freely and, although there will be ruolistiche features with fighting in round, there will be actions that are activated by pressing a button at the right time, thus not selectable by menu.
Finally, in the course of the adventure we will acquire certain abilities that we assign to the buttons of the controller to run them immediately into battle. There will also be an old return: Hope that will provide Lightning tips through a device. We are awaiting further details and new ingame footage.
