Okay, This Final Fantasy XIII Story Recap Is Pretty Cute

If you need a catch-up before Lightning Returns, this is a pretty good place to start.

That was pretty damn cool, kudos to Square.

I played through both Final Fantasy 13s, and while they weren't the best in the series by a long shot, they were still quite enjoyable. Damn the haters.

ha, even though they spent so much effort making this video the plot still made zero sense, thank you square, for never stop being confusing.

I can't work out if this is making me want to play Final Fantasy XIII again, or making me want to play Final Fantasy VI again.

I could sort of follow this through what I assume is the first FF13's story, but when it gets to FF13-2, I'm totally lost.

I feel like more effort was put into this video than their FF5 and FF6 iOS ports. The sprite-work is actually pretty great.

I know, right? Considering that FF6 only took a year of development (last I heard), I'd rather they just keep making games like that. There's not much focus or passion behind games that require hundred man teams to design rock textures.

A fair reminder of what Final Fantasy games SHOULD still be, but totally are not anymore.

Also, fuck Square Enix for playing on this nostalgia.

Despite trying I just can't enjoy the FF13 series, but I really like lightning as a character for some reason.

I haven't even pressed play but I already know I would much rather be playing this game than the ACTUAL Lightning Returns.

If only they had made this instead of the real Final Fantasy 13 series which is total trash.

This video is great, but the best part is Yuel repeatly falling over.
