Kitase returns with Lightning Returns update

November 23rd, 2012 by Tony Garsow

Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 producer Yoshinori Kitase took to social media this week for an update on Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, the third and final installment in the newly-christened Lightning Saga. After a bout of recap via Twitter and Facebook, Kitase informed fans that a major milestone has passed in the game’s development. The team will also make use of playtest focus group feedback to further polish a game that was described by Toriyama as “the most polished Final Fantasy title yet”.

Officially announced at the Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Event, Lightning Returns is still on track for a 2013 release. The last progress update in September had the game’s completion at 30%.

    Last week they said they were gonna reveal something new this week about Luxerion, and also release a new piece of media…. They said that last Friday… we haven’t seen anything…

    I’m so tired of their broken promises…

    They’re not promising you anything. Most of their stuff has said they will reveal new information soon and to wait a little bit longer.

    The “new” piece was starting the recaps. Just wait.

    ahem steven, about the luxerion details, they already stated it last week: http://www.finalfantasy.net/lightning-returns-ffxiii/lightning-returns-info-return/#comments
    and about the new piece of media, it’s being revealed in the future, they promised it last friday but they didnt specifically say when so you pretty much haven’t done much research yet.

    They said:
    Today we recapped the cities. However, these are just a small part of the game. From here on we’ll be publishing even more information. In fact, I think we’ll show off a new element next week.

    This was published on Friday, November 16th.
