In anticipation of Type o and the XV demo I finally got back to finishing lightning returns. After finally beating the final last ones and taking on the final boss hard mode is unlocked and you can play new game plus (finally, lol). I just wanted to know how many people actually finished lighting returns and started a new game plus? The whole game opens up, much better drops, much better items sold, the whole upgrading shields and swords mechanic, it feels like it should have the first time through. Any thoughts?

I actually played it three times and went platinum on the trophies so pretty much did everything. The 2nd and third play really ended up being a well I'm really powerful character now so let me just collect everything and level the items to max. Once I understood the time system and when things needed to happen it made the game a breeze. Eventually I was just playing to see light in cool costumes like dragoon |

Seems that you this enjoyed this game huh? I beat XIII and XIII-2. Is this one worth it? It's got terrible reviews for some reason.

Being a fan I know i will always enjoy them one way or another. There were some things i didnt like at first. For example the time event system where certain things can only happen on certain days/times only but i eventually figured it out and it didnt bother me as much. They perfected the XIII style battle system, some of the weapons and costumes were cool as hell, it was the finale to the series and the ending didnt dissapoint. Final boss and extra bosses were very challenging as well. Not the best FF game for me but yes i did find it enjoyable. |

The reviews are skewed by ppl who didn't like 13 and didn't want the story to come to a close. Admittedly the time locks and timed events are a pain early, they don't pose much of a burden. The clock adds pressure but ultimately isn't much of a problem, I got all main quests finished on day 9 first playthrough and day 6 on the second. The combat is fantastic once you get use to your stupid, not the "smash x until it's dead" of xiii but uses all buttons. All in all worth playing if you know xiii and xiii-2.

I bought it but then sold it later so I could get some soda, then again I believe XIII is the worst Final Fantasy ever made and I hated Lightning, the only thing that got my through XIII was Sabin, I mean Snow. One day I might buy it again and beat it to have it under my FF belt but I don't consider it a main line FF because it's not Final Fantasy XIII-3.

I played NG+ just long enough to get the platinum and then I put the game back in its case, where it will likely remain until the end of time.

Very fun game and also very unique. I enjoyed my experience with it and loved the new game plus. |
