01Overview

As Lightning, it is your mission to save souls so they may be brought to a new world. However, with only thirteen days remaining, not everyone can be saved. Armed with all-new weapons, player customization and battle abilities, you are in a race against time to fully understand your destiny. Lightning Returns is the concluding chapter of the Final Fantasy XIII saga and the final battle of its heroine. The world is sinking into a sea of chaos, and in thirteen days nothing will remain. Lightning has awoken after centuries in crystal stasis as a legendary warrior on a god-given mission to save the souls of mankind. She is the only playable character and has a wide range of techniques for battles and for moving through the environment. Combat is action-oriented and gives the player a level of direct control over the action that is new to the Final Fantasy series, while keeping elements the series is known for. Lightning can be customized with a range of outfits and weapons that change her look, her actions and her abilities. The PC release includes the downloadable outfits, called schemata, from the original console release.
