Lightning Returns Is Coming Out Soon!

Post by Sebastian Lawe »

For any fans of the FFXIII Series, the next installment comes out on February 11th for North America, and February 14th for the UK. I've had a chance to play the demo, and I'm pretty excited.

Like I understand that turn based battles are basically required in the FF series (much like in Pokemon), but it's really kinda a turnoff for me. Everything about the game looks amazing, graphics, story, voice acting... but the turn based battles... :/ If it were real time combat like Zelda I'd definitely get it.

The XIII series isn't turn based. Its been menu based, but not turn based. Everything is realtime. I hate turn based games as well.

You're able to launch commands as you please, at any point in time. The only thing holding you back is a recharge gauge, and having to maintain a chain gauge. If you act too slow or plan your attacks poorly, the chain gauge drops, and your enemy takes much longer to destroy.
