The epic storyline of Final Fantasy XIII and its sequel, XIII-2 is complicated, to say the least. With Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII almost out, many players may not be entirely up to speed with the Cocoon crisis or anything else in the series’ story.
To that end, Square Enix has put together a retrospective trailer of Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2, retold with 16-bit sprites and chiptune-style music.
If you’d like to catch up on the stories of Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 that shaped Lightning into the heroine she is in Lightning Returns, then this video is something you’ll definitely want to watch. Hell, even if you don’t plan on getting Lightning Returns, watch it anyway.
The saga will reach its conclusion on February 11, 2014.
