hallo the steemian happy to be back in front of you all to always give you reviews on games that are still warm are still fresh when I review and on a sunny day I will come back reviewing games from developer renowned that Square Enix to take sequel to three of the final Fantasy XIII is Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Return, this game still carries the same genre is RPG if you have never played this game I just will review the steemian specifically for you, following his review.
may be a concept that has never been previously applied by Square Enix, especially related to that Final Fantasy RPG. to change the story, the characters, and the whole world every time a given series, Square Enix opted to extend the story of one of the main characters in Final Fantasy XII is Lightning into three different series. Of course not only the story, each of these series are built with a variety of gameplay that can be said is innovative and interesting.
Lightning Returns, Square Enix really had claimed that the conclusion of this Lightning will bring so many new things, especially in terms of gameplay mechanics. when you already played this game at the beginning of the series of first impression in the offer is indeed very opposite of Final Fantasy XIII's Lightning Return. The concept of an open world, the battle system which requires its own strategy, and existence of the Lightning as a main character who looks so strong.
for story line problems in this game Taking 500 years setting since Final Fantasy XIII-2, Lightning finally awakens from his long sleep. But faced with a world that is known, the universe is now at the end of destruction and prepared to welcome the end of time. Chaos is the power of darkness has consumed most of the existing territory. As a side effect of destruction, the remaining human must be tormented by everlasting life and witness to this inescapable, intimidating moment. They can no longer age and reproduce, and just wait to die. In the midst of a dying world, Lightning itself dai game is also referred to as The Savior.
After the end of Final Fantasy XIII-2, Lightning was finally awakened by the god named Bhunivelze to prepare a new world that he would create after total destruction. Bhunivelze needs the best soul to occupy this new world and Lightning is also referred to as a Valkyrie, who is in charge of finding and choosing the soul he thinks worthy, to be saved. The journey begins. in the storyline Bhunivezle will revive and bring back Serah Lightning's younger sister in this new world. has lived apart for 500 years. Friends who are no longer like the Lightning are familiar with.
But the trip that Lightning travel is also not something easy. In addition to having to deal with a very limited time, Lightning also have to deal with the wave of Chaos, Not only that, the conflict with the character who had been the best team Lightning was not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. 500 years since the last meeting, almost all of these characters have to deal with the sense of loss and disappointment, which they must face without the support of Lightning. and Lightning must also deal with a mysterious woman that is not even understood by Bhunivelze Lumina.
ok now we enter the gameplay system and the visual side, for Lightning Returns did not show a significant improvement compared with the previous series. By focusing on Lightning's story, Square Enix in the visuals seems very clear by ensuring Lightning's details as the main character, with a variety of costumes that make the appearance of lightning more appealing. The difference with the detail of the NPC character and supporters is quite sharp, there is a uniqueness that has a difference in this game located on the cinematic camera that makes this series look feels more beautiful and fun to enjoy.
Increased graphics are not too significant, considering Square Enix does not make it as a focus in Lightning Returns. Differences are felt, even occur in the battle system that is given. No longer like the two previous series that did the timing button to win the battle, this last series will make us to act more active and make Lightning able to win the battle.
in this game kalaian do not expect any permanent characters that will help Lightning, in karnekan indeed Linghtning in this game is fight alone, but the new system provided by Square Enix still leave the impression that we control three different characters. in this game there is also a new system called Schemata, Lightning can now switch between three costumes that can be set before during the fight. Each of these costumes will bring a different ATB, which will decrease along with the action we choose. While on the other hand, a costume that is not being used will recover ATB quickly. we will indeed be required to continue to change the schemata to ensure Lightning attacks continue to run. Or of course to make sure we fight effectively.
Each schemata will look like a unique equipment system, where you can specify different types of weapons, accessories, or shields. Not only that, every schemata will also come with certain unique buffs that might help you in the fight. Modifying three schemata, with three different roles, while ensuring these three adaptive "designs" for most of the battle scenarios will be the most rational choice. Why? Because not just cosmetics alone, your ability to build a suitable schemata will greatly determine how likely you are to survive. Because in Lightning Returns: FF XIII, even the smallest enemy, has a chance to finish your life in an instant.
In addition to enemies that I can say quite difficult to defeat, you also have to deal with the fact that the number of healing items is only about six pieces in the inventory that we have. and we can no longer just spam potions every time we are in a dying position and hope to have a chance to fight back. This makes fighting difficult and frustrating, especially if we meet the fact that the three schemata, or even all of our schemata combinations, can not produce effective stagger and damage effects.
At least this frustration can provide a challenge for gamers who like challenges like me, until we realize that there is no reason to fight with the enemy we meet. unlike the previous series, the fight will not give you experience points at all. Lightning now lacks a level system and an opportunity to strengthen itself, and relies heavily on increasing the status attribute we can get from each completed quest.
There are only three reasons you may have to fulfill and choose to fight, can not avoid, in because of the quest requirements, and get rare items that can be used as weapons. In addition, with the lack of benefits that we can get from the battle system, dodge and run feels much more rational, the choice is in your hands who play this game, but maybe for some lovers of RPG this becomes very fun.
Schemata is a unique combat system that gives us the freedom to attack variants such as what is most effective for use in each fight but on the other hand, there are so many, dozens of combinations that we can select as schemata of Lightning. and there is also shortage of guys are not all designed with consideration, taking into account aspects of personality Lightning which we are familiar. as a main character who is quite cold, suddenly faced with a series of garments schemata that publicly expose so many curves Lightning has always closed.
Lightning is finally back and unfortunately, not for an experience that deserves to be positioned as a closing series. Comes with multiple mechanisms of new gameplay, especially from the limitations of time and the battle system is more complex, Final Fantasy XII Lightning Returns indeed comes with a sensation quite refreshing and innovative, if you who have played the series before will feel the difference in a series that is constructed differently from the beginning.
With schemata mechanism that not only played a major role in the battle system, but also the appearance of Lightning alone, reinforced with a more cinematic camera system, Final Fantasy XII Lightning Returns is a game that will in my opinion have been very good for the fans on the visual side. maybe that's all I can say for the third series of Final Fantasy XIII game, the rest of you who judge and give criticism and suggestion to this game.
