In celebration of the upcoming release of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII , Square-Enix is releasing a recap of what has happened in the Final Fantasy XIII storyline so far. However, this recap is unique in that it is done completely with 16 bit sprites. So you get to see the Final Fantasy XIII cast jump around like they were in Final Fantasy VI .
It’s awesome to see the story play out in a retro style, although it does show you how stupid the Final Fantasy XIII story really was. I mean, the l’Cie were supposed to destroy Cocoon, then they weren’t, then they did, then a time hole opened up and a goth kid tried to cause the end of all things to save his girlfriend, then Serah dies… oh wait… spoilers I guess.
Anyway, most of the FFXIII fanbase is simply ignoring these glaring plot holes anyway, so be on the lookout for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII when it releases later this February.
