On March 15, 2022, NieR Automata will leave Xbox Game Pass.įor those unfamiliar, Lightning Returns: FFXIII closes out the trilogy of games. On March 3, 2022, Lightning Returns: FFXIII will show up on the service. Another Final Fantasy game is coming, but a staple is leaving. The March 2022 update arrived to detail things joining and leaving the service by March 15, 2022. Happy time management, and good luck saving the world.There is a Square Enix shuffle going on with Xbox Game Pass. The game has a feature of New game + and the game is definitely built around you playing again, via stat progression, spell progression and the general that the game is chaos and your second time through you will find quests you didn't before and you have to play again to unlock Hard mode and get the best gear. The saga you started back in 2009 comes to a close and its satisfying to meet past characters in your farewell game. The battle system is strategic, the panic of the doomsday clock is fun to manage your time wisely. Square is changing the franchise and you can embrace it and have fun or move on. This is FF13 after all and there's been plenty of FF before it telling a story a long those lines. It is good but at the same time its hard to tell the story of the world is ending and you are the chosen one to save it so many times and keep it fresh. The story is odd, cheesy, different, complicated, hard to follow. The music is splendid, like pretty much every Final Fantasy there is, one can not complain. Also its noticeable how Lightning recieved alot of care to her appearance and npc's did not and look rather bland when your in a conversation with them and have Light standing next to them. CG scenes are beautiful, but while in the traverse world there are many examples to be seen of jagged edge and pixel box. The graphics are a tad blotchy and jagged for a game coming out at a systems life end. The boss battles in this game are tougher to just brute force win, all take strategy, which is a good direction for the series, for to long have you been able to out level the game and just brute force a epic boss, it feels more epic when my health bar is flashing red and I have to decide if I should stagger the enemy and all out or take a recovery path and try and rebuild my health while gathering stagger again, the game requires strategy in its fights and that's enjoyable to have to actually think while fighting. The Battle system keeps you on your feet, constant action and decisions to make between management of your ATB bars and the enemy actions. Square seems to be in transition with Final Fantasy's becoming more real time action, so your enemies in FF:LR are never paused as you look through commands in past Final Fantasy's.you debate whether to attack or use fire your enemy might just be unleashing a attack upon you and then you have to decide if you need to guard as well then which is a new feature in FF:LR, you've had mediguard in past 13 series, but here in FF:LR there are several guard types, but you must execute them yourself with your own timing in accordance to your enemy, alot like how you would switch to Turtle paradigm before Ultima to absorb damage. The battle system is very fresh and has some old feel to previous 13 series, you still have an ATB bar, if you didn't manual input your actions from previous FF and just let them fill you will be dissapointed here in FF:LR as you must input your commands, but this is where the battle system comes into being fresh and fun and at the same time complex. This can lead you into a stir of panic of you being used to having all the time in the world to sink into sidequests from previous installments, but there is a neat way to stop time in the game and using it to the max is how to manage the countdown to doom. There's a lot to take in at the start, new combat system and the fact the world is ending and the in-game clock is quick to countdown. There's a lot to take in at the start, new combat system and the fact A good game, its like a new baseball glove, takes some time to break in.
