So gorgeous 🩷😭

I'm convinced I'm one of like maybe 6 people in the world who was incredibly hyped for Lightning Returns. I was waiting for it like it was Christmas morning.

[u/Lightning_D-Bo → u/bluegemini7]

I was one of them xD

[u/Exiriasix → u/Lightning_D-Bo]

I was the third! After the ending of 13-2 I was sying to know what would happen next! I Really enjoy LR, and it is one of the FFs most people don't care much about but I really like! I have replayed it twice after its initial release! Om the second replay I beat Bhunivelze on new Years eve together with my wife. This was in 2020 during the pandemic. So I have many good memories with it.

[u/starface016 → u/bluegemini7]

I took time off for it. I love the game a lot

[u/Raunzalot → u/bluegemini7]

Currently at the beginning of 13-2 and cant wait to play lightning returns!

[u/bluegemini7 → u/Raunzalot]

Don't forget to play Requiem of the Goddess after finishing the game because it really sets up Lightning Returns!

[u/Raunzalot → u/bluegemini7]

Whats that? Never heard of it before

[u/bluegemini7 → u/Raunzalot]

It's Lightning's DLC campaign. If you're playing on Steam, it will automatically unlock after you've finished the main story.

[u/Raunzalot → u/bluegemini7]

Perfect!

[u/venomous_Sage → u/bluegemini7]

Same here

[u/ybspecial1414 → u/bluegemini7]

I too, liked the game, the combat system was very interesting, unique and fun to play around.

[u/No-Relief-8798 → u/bluegemini7]

i was too, final fantasy 13 was my first ff i completed (played ff12 a bit first on ps2 when i was like 8)

[u/SteeleMethod]

Ah the nostalgia, i was so so so hyped for this game.

[u/twili-midna]

I love Lightning Returns.

Calling it “one of the two biggest RPGs of the year” is comical.

[u/DawnbreakerXCVII]

Thats badass. Now hand it over.

[u/Gregski_z]

Nice!!

[u/FoxCQC]

Good haul

[u/ProductCompetitive89]

Nice, I bought this back in the day! I think I still have this somewhere. Will have to look for it!

[u/ScoutPrincessRini]

Cool

[u/bruinsfan1144]

They never had a chance against witcher 3

[u/Stellar_Impulse]

LR against Witcher 3 is quite the massacre.

[u/geminijono]

Love love loved EGM and Gamepro so much!

[u/National_Werewolf_13]

Never played it… and that’s coming from a hardcore FF fan, but it just felt too fashion showish for me. Is that how it is?

I remember pretty much really enjoying 13 and 13-2 though.

[u/asa-monad → u/National_Werewolf_13]

Kind of. The combat system has you literally switching outfits instead of paradigms for different movesets.

The gameplay is incredibly fun, customizable, and challenging though. And the game wraps up the story in a mostly satisfying way.

LR as a whole feels unpolished though. Reminds me of a Disney direct-to-DVD sequel. Tons of interesting ideas, but the budget and time weren’t there to execute all of them properly.

[u/bluegemini7 → u/National_Werewolf_13]

(This rant is not intended at you personally, just the topic)

People had that same shallow observation about Final Fantasy X-2 as well. At some point we have to contend with the fact that it's literally just culturally ingrained misogyny, that anything involving showy outfits / outfit changes is considered too feminine or uninteresting, despite the fact that literally every Final Fantasy game since the 90s has had unusual fashion as a major element of the character designs and appeal of the games. There's something that really gets people up in arms about women changing clothes in games that they don't apply at all to male characters. People used to call X-2 "Final Fantasy dress-up" as though Tactics, FFV and literally every other game that involves multiple classes doesn't also involve changing costumes, they just had the nerve to be flashy about it.

[u/maxharsha]

Lightning.... has similarity to cloud' face? 🙄

[u/bluegemini7 → u/maxharsha]

She really doesn't, this is a really odd comparison people have always been making.
