LIGHTNING RETURNS™: FINAL FANTASY® XIII

Set in a world nearing destruction, the game casts Lightning as its sole playable hero, tasked with saving people’s souls before the world ends in thirteen days. Explore four regions and take on main and side quests for residents. Some people and events are available only at certain times, so players decide how to spend each day. Completing quests helps Lightning grow, and saving souls can extend the time remaining. Combat is action-oriented: Lightning switches among three configurable outfit-and-gear setups, each with its own abilities and action gauge. She attacks, guards, dodges, and times blocks, while abilities found from enemies can be combined to make them stronger.

As Lightning, race a doomed world’s thirteen-day countdown, save its people through quests, and fight with swappable combat styles.
