LIGHTNING RETURNS™: FINAL FANTASY® XIII

Conheci esse jogo quando eu tinha um PS3 e não tinha dinheiro pra comprar jogos pra ele, com isso vivia jogando demos de jogos e acabei encontrando esse, já que eu era criança eu nunca tinha conseguido sair do primeiro mapa e nem fazer as missões (não sabia falar inglês ainda) então quando vi a promoção aqui resolvi comprar e tentar de novo. Ai eu queria muito gostar desse jogo, eu vi resumos e walktroughs dos outros do FFXIII pra ver se conseguia me conectar melhor com a história, nesse aspecto eu consegui me importar com personagens como a Lightning, o Snow, a Fang e a Vanille e o Sazh, porém não da pra completar a história desse jogo. O sistema de dia e noite é impossivel de mexer, um relogio na tela te lembrando a todo tempo que você não pode desperdiçar um segundo e horrivel, as missões são um puzzle pra completar, a todo tempo somos bloqueados pelo horario do dia no jogo, a progressão não faz sentido algum, se o jogo quer que você vá pra outras áreas ele deveria te dar as ferramentas para lidar com essas áreas, mas aqui ele não te da nada. Eu amo os gráficos e a história, mas toda essa dificuldade só pra jogar não justifica, infelizmente esse foi pra gaveta.

Somehow, Lightning has Returned

So....it took me, what? 13 years to actually play and beat [i]Lightning Returns[/i]? I pre-ordered it back in the day for the Xbox 360, but found myself giving up in frustration because constantly watching the clock made the game feel more stressful than fun. Now that I've returned in 2026....there are plenty of guides to reference and guide me. Tip for new players: SPAM CHRONOSTASIS!!! [i]Lightning Returns[/i] is VERY different from its predecessors, if you already can't tell, and while it's a welcome break from the gameplay loop that quickly got old in XIII and XIII-2, the Schema system featured in the final XIII entry comes with its own set of irritations and can take a minute to get used to. You're also fairly limited at the beginning of the game in terms of setup, though fortunately the PC version comes with DLC garbs that you can basically coast on until you hit the last day. It's irritating though that you can basically brute force your way through most battles until the hidden dungeon and final boss, where you have to actually invest in your abilities and strategies. The biggest selling point of [i]Lightning Returns[/i] is Lightning herself (shocker, I know!). After spending most of XIII sharing the spotlight with the rest of the cast and being largely absent from XIII-2, it was nice to see her finally take center stage and get a proper conclusion to her story. As for the overarching story's end.....I have mixed feelings. There are a few decisions I'm still not sure how I feel about. That said, seeing the original cast reunited after everything they'd been through definitely got me a little teary-eyed; it felt like a homecoming of sorts. If you've come this far in the XIII trilogy, you need to play this final installment. Even with my reservations, I think it's a solid conclusion to Lightning's journey and the XIII trilogy as a whole. These games deserve far more love than they get.
