[edit] Plot
Main Article: Plot (Lightning Returns)
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is the conclusion to Lightning's story, set 500 years after Final Fantasy XIII-2. Due to the merging of Valhalla and Gran Pulse after Etro's death, humanity has stopped aging and the merged world is called Nova Chrysalia. The game takes place over thirteen days beginning with Lightning's awakening and focus on the fal'Cie god, Bhunivelze.
[edit] Gameplay
The player controls Lightning, the only playable character, in an open-world environment. Depending on the player's actions, Lightning may gain or lose time. There are various routes through the game, and players may not see all cutscenes in one playthrough, encouraging multiple playthroughs.
Monsters range in size and can appear in cities as well as the wilderness.
[edit] Battle System
The battle system in Lightning Returns will be an updated version of the battle systems from the previous two games. Players will be able to control Lightning's movements during battle. Actions can be mapped to the buttons on the controller instead of choosing actions from a menu. Similar to the Paradigm system, Lightning will have different Styles which can be changed during battle. Each Style features a different costume, weapon, accessories, and abilities.
