It's awesome game, a hidden gem I enjoyed it more than any final fantasy game , except for the time mechanic the game is very good

I love this game. It's the root precursor to FFVIIR and FFXVI. The countdown mechanic and world were amazing. So underrated

A very unique game. I have never seen such a thing. the world is ending and you have a limited time to do the quests and save the world. if you fail the game will be restarted but you will keep all your items and level so the second run will be a lot easier. Very unique and cool. I loved it.

Very interesting time concept, which I truly enjoyed. I guess, after seeing the characters for three games got me to kind of care for them.
But still the theme and overall gameplay doesn't make it a good game for me. Otherwise it was alright.

Started with a 7 time ago, then raised to 8 but now again I lower the score down to 7. At times it's a great experice but at others is very frustrating, no matter what you do or how good you are or what kind of schemas you use and perfectionate. Specialy the very final boss gets very frustrating. My recommendation would be your first gameplay to play on "easy mode" (don't get fooled by the difficulty's name, "normal" means hard lol). FF XIII-2 I enjoyed it more than XIII, but not sure if LR:FF XIII is better or not, sometimes yes sometimes not. On the other hand, don't get scared by the whole time thing, you'll sort it our soon.

The story is bad
The combat is fine (not my thing but it is more engaging, that's a fact)
But the time limit just kills the game. At the start you get 6 real life hours to complete the game, with possible extensions as you go on (up to 13 hours). If this clock runs out, you'll have to start over (but you keep your equipment etc.)
what makes the timer even worse however, is how the game puts time restrictions on certain missions. For example, go to that person in that part of the city between 7 and 9 pm, making you essentially waste some of that precious 6 hours waiting.
all in all, skip this game unless you're invested in the FF 13 storyline

This installment is probably the worst Final Fantasy of all time! They are really losing a lot of fans with this game.
Very disappointing game and very disappointed in Square Enix's work on this.

Summary A direct sequel to the unhelpfully titled Final Fantasy XIII-2, Lightning Returns is another action-RPG, this time with a retooled gameplay system and a story that picks up a mere 500 years later, concluding the FFXIII saga.
