LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY 13

LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY 13 - the island of Novus Partus in the Sea of ​​Chaos is the last refuge of people, and he has thirteen days left to live. Lightning awakens in this world with divine power and tries to save those who can still be saved, since every day brings the death of the island closer. Hope Estame comes to her aid, keeping in touch with the heroine from afar. Here you have to control one heroine, and this noticeably changes the usual tactics of the series: instead of a squad, the player sets up her herself. Clothes work as a class, so changing outfits transforms Lightning from a mage to a swordsman or a shield master, and weapons and accessories complete the build. There are so many combinations that one can choose one for each situation. Battles are fought using the ATB system, but the controls have become much more lively: attacks are no longer queued in advance, each action is tied to a button, and movement around the battlefield is limited only by stamina and equipment. There is little time allotted until the end of the world, and it can be extended by helping residents and fulfilling their requests. Cities, wastelands and dungeons are interconnected by a schedule: some events open only at certain hours, and local quests provide both rewards and a reprieve from the apocalypse. Whether the player succeeded or not can be seen by the clock in the corner of the screen, and this timer has to be taken into account constantly. Lost battles do not reset progress: defeat throws the heroine back to the beginning of the battle, but her preparation remains with her. Residents' requests are issued with a time stamp, and if they are late they are removed from the agenda without warning. For those who want to see the finale of Lightning's story and are ready to understand clothing classes and timers.
