Square Enix released a new trailer for their upcoming action role-playing, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and also revealed some details on battle system, a new location and costume.
Lightning gets a new costume from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn’s famous Miqo’te character from the forthcoming MMO. You can also equip the Lominsan Cutlass and Escutcheon which will give you rapid attacks.
“In some battles, you can destroy sections of a foe, and if you succeed in disabling a specific area then the enemy will not only be weakened but you can also gain different items as rewards once the battle is won.”
“There’s also a new counter attack system – by timing your counter perfectly with the enemy attack you can negate it and land a punishing blow of your own that could stagger the foe.
However, you need to judge when best to use it – it’ll use up a large portion of the ATB gauge, and it’s only effective against physical attacks… not magical ones.”
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is set for release on February 11, 2014 for PS3 and Xbox 360.
