Square Enix has announced two versions of the strategy guide for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13. Created by Piggyback, the guide is available in both Standard and as a beautiful Collector’s Edition.
According to the publisher, the Standard edition contains 352 pages of strategic information, a giant map poster covering the entire world, and two ribbon bookmarks. Buyers who choose to pay a little bit more can opt to pick up the Collector’s Edition, which contains 32 additional pages containing exclusive features, a soft-touch dust jacket and hard cover, and a new Schema for Lightning: Art of War. The in-game schema consists of a new garb, weapon, ability, finishing move, and bestows bonus magic resistance to Lightning.
“Aiming for 100% completion? Every secret, every unlockable, every New Game+ bonus, every Achievement and Trophy is revealed and explained in a dedicated Extras chapter. The guide will walk you through all Main and Side Quests, whilst the Strategy and Analysis section illustrates how to get the most from the game's key systems and features. An all-encompassing Bestiary and Inventory lists all enemies, garbs, weapons, shields, accessories, items and shops. Carefully designed to avoid unnecessary story spoilers, the guide covers both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.”
