Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Trailer Leaks, Kinda
A trailer for Square Enix’s Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, the third game in the Final Fantasy XIII saga, was put up on GameTrailers. It must have been an accident because it was swiftly taken down from the site, but preserved via the magic of the internet. We’ve included one posting of the video on Youtube that’s still up at the time of this writing, but there’s no telling how long it might stay that way. In case it goes down, the trailer begins with a CGI sequence of Lightning awaking in a vibrant city with just 13 days left before the end of the world, followed by a proclamation that this is “The final journey of Lightning” and footage of the in-game combat system.
