We can't even call this an FF anniversary post, seeing as this trailer was released early by accident. Luckily, it can still be found in a fan-uploaded version on the link posted below, among others.

The trailer opens up with Lightning in her new get-up, news of which we posted just two days ago, and with a brief monologue concerning the 'holy city,' which, as seems to be the case with all RPG holy cities, has spots of darkness.

Then, after "The Final Journey of Lightning" flashes on the screen a couple times, the trailer gets happy again! There's a fair bit of gameplay footage, showing a battle menu that has once again been tweaked but maintains much of the elements of its two predecessors. The audio is a slight remix of the battle theme from the original FFXIII. Wait, am I- getting nostalgic?

At the very end, we hear this game's application of the number 13: it is the number of days remaining to the world. Clocks are displayed formidably throughout the trailer as well. Both aspects are in keeping with the emphasis on time, as we first reported back in September.

Is that Lightning, or Ezio Auditore...?

I think every city, holy or otherwise has plenty of dark spots =P

The sunglasses... I'm not sure about the sunglasses...

Lucky for me, I haven't even opened my copy of XIII-2 yet. I can wait until this game is on offer for cheap and then grab it up. smile.gif

The same on both accounts, haha. Given how well people in chat have spoken of XIII-2, I probably will try to get around to it this summer. And given how slowly I progress through games these days, it's safe to say that I won't be ready to look at XIII-3 until next Christmas.

I am quite intrigued by the whole time thing, though. There's always a lot of potential when that's brought into a game, though there's certainly a fair bit of risk of botching it as well.

I'm just surprised that the idea of naming these games "Final Fantasy [number] [another number]" has actually not fallen flat.
