Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns  (PlayStation 3)

PRODUCT Features

• Battles: With this brand-new battle system, the player will be controlling Lightning and Lightning alone. The Paradigm Shift feature has been replaced with a unique tactical system that will provide a fresh, interactive battle experience! LR:FFXIII sees the introduction of a counter attack system! Counterblow is effective against an enemy's physical attacks, but it is powerless against magic and some special attacks, so take care when using it.

• In The Field: Jump, climb, swing, and slide! Players can enjoy a variety of different actions by interacting with obstacles and objects. Explore every inch of the world using buildings, decorations, and furniture at your disposal.

• Customization: There are many types of garb, each with their own parameters. A tactical set consists of equipment such as garb and a weapon, along with assigned abilities. During battle, you can swap between three different sets customized to suit your needs. Changing garb also changes Lightning's look, so both its utility and aesthetics can be enjoyed.

• Special Abilities: Lightning has the capacity to use spectacular special abilities in battles! These abilities consume EP (Energy Points), so you should think carefully before unleashing Lightning's considerable power.

• Managing Time A world on a course for total annihilation presents unique challenges; where certain areas, missions, and people will only be available during selected periods. How will you use your remaining time? Eradia (EP) has two functions. Firstly it allows you to use EP abilities such as healing magic and special effect magic that can do things like alter the flow of time. Secondly, EP can also be used to extend the time remaining before Zero Hour and the dawn of the Apocalypse.
