13 new things about Lighting Returns: Final Fantasy XIII | Destructoid

Destructoid: "You think you know everything about Final Fantasy? I did too, but there's a whole bunch of weird new stuff going on with the next title in the series, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, due out late this year. I've just returned from a first look at Square Enix's work in progress armed with a list of new features and surprising changes to the classic formula for this final chapter of Final Fantasy XIII."

I HATE the FF13 series and I HATE Lightning

hmmm

I hope Noel has a fairly big role and you don't just kill him or something. He's a really strong character, really likeable.

It'd be pretty sad if he's like the enemy or something.

Ridiculously excited for this game!

So same combat - parties + movement?

If you can't dodge or block attacks it will stupid...

[iamtehpwn]

You can both block/dodge in this game, this has been confirmed.

[Zerotino]

If you watch the trailer it clearly shows 'Evade' and 'Block' commands.

[gamedebater]

I saw that but they don't show it in trailer which makes me think it's a gimmick and not part of actualy gameplay. Like the combat has it but it's not critical to win. Hopefully it is but still seems pretty basic to me.

[SolDojo]

Defying all logic, I am pretty damn excited for this game.

[kalkano]

I actually find it depressing that some people are excited about this.

RIP, Final Fantasy.
