New Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Vid Takes Us Into Making of the Game

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will be the third (and apparently final) entry into the (extremely long drawn, and frankly unwelcome) Final Fantasy XIII saga. The upcoming game, which takes place in the Final Fantasy XIII universe a few hundred years after the events at the end of Final Fantasy XIII-2, is more of an action game than a true RPG like its series’ ilk, but so far, it looks like it might be the best original Final Fantasy branded game in years.

If you are interested in learning more about the game and its development process, check out the video above that talks about ‘getting inside the square,’ and describes the development of the game and the process that went into it. It’s the first video in a series of three (just like the Final Fantasy XIII games themselves!), so there will probably be more soon. And I will probably be put to putting them here for the five of you who care enough to watch.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII launches next year for Xbox 360 and PS3 in all territories except for Japan, where it will launch in November this year.
