Lightning Returns could've been one of Square Enix's finest games but goddammit they dropped the ball so fucking hard
>environments should've been much larger and more graphically impressive with better quick-travel options. The Wildlands was absolutely paltry compared to the Archylte Steppe and Luxerion was just a circle
>Lightning's character model was atrocious. She looked like an anorexic stick insect. Should've been redesigned to look more aesthetic
>voice acting was so goddamn monotone. Lines needed to be re-recorded with some fucking emotion
>story was recycled from XIII and XIII-2 - Lightning trying to find Serah fucking AGAIN
>the final dungeon just a fucking hallway. Seriously, how do you fuck up this hard after 3 games of development when it was the first's biggest criticism?
That being said, the combat and gameplay was excellent. Figuring out schemata optimization for Last One combat was fun and killing them inside of chaos infusions was satisfying as fuck.

I mean, just look at this body. Fucking LOOK AT IT! Who designed this, who approved this? Is there an insanity clause for employees at Square Enix? Do they have tenure or something?
I want to fuck Lumina.
its all pointless when the story is fking brain dead
>mfw the shit that they brought up from XIII-2 was somehow the best part of the game
Considering LR was made on a shoestring budget it was great.
>story
Nobody cares
I'm just pissed we never got to see any /ss/
FFXIII-2 was a masterpiece!
i cant defend this so i pretend this isnt what her proportions actually are.
great game though.
What's really disappointing is that there isn't a single mod to fix her body, not even after all this time
I enjoyed it, despite its flaws.
Still a lot more fun than FFXV.

Was he right?
>wanting to see "/ss/" between justin beiber and eugenia cooney
why does her shoulder thing look like the lucian crown
But you could customize Lightning with various outfits.
It was pretty obvious that it had by far the lowest budget.
I've only played through it once on release and beat both Superbosses but i still never really got the hang of the combat system. Staggering was more straight forward in 1 & 2 with the percentage.
I thought the combat was alright but odd, most of the time i would stagger something, use EP for slowmotion and then use my Cloud costume to hit hard.
What makes people enjoy the combat of this more than 13-2 and what is some general advice for getting better at it?
Daily reminder that a new Valkyria Profile game was sacrificed and they made XIII 2 and LR with the assets. It's the reason why Lightning was turned into a Valkirie out of the sudden.
Let's not forget there were rumors about a new Valkirie Profile game being developed for the PS360 way before FFXIII 2 came into scene.
Proof that I'm not lying. Just Google it
It was originally going to be 360 exclusive.
You all know why the three games are so different.
She looks like she fucks young guys.
I would give anything for a Lightning cosplayerfu

>Lightning Returns could've been one of Square Enix's finest games
I don't give a fuck, because it was the finest.
its the game about the worst FF character in existence so of course its going to be bad
Lightning looks really cute in a SOLDIER uniform, I admit it.
It was designed to be a single-character JRPG. It was dead from the start.
She's always cute
>environments should've been much larger and more graphically impressive with better quick-travel options
It was already pushing the limits of PS3. Wildlands had horrible framerate.
>voice acting was so goddamn monotone
That's what you get when you play dubbed
>story was recycled from XIII and XIII-2 - Lightning trying to find Serah fucking AGAIN
That's not even remotely true. You didn't actually even play the game, did you?
