Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII Retro-Spectictive is really great

2009 was a long time ago and itโ€™s entirely possible that, like me, you have forgotten most of the events in the first installment of the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy. Itโ€™s also possible that you just missed the prior two episodes entirely and have neither the time nor patience required to play through them both before playing Final Fantasy XII: Lightning Returns.

If you are in this situation or if you just fancy watching a really cool 16-bit style Youtube video, then Square Enix has your back, with the Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Returns Retro-spective trailer. Probably should have gone with a catchier name guys.

Poor naming aside, the video is great and does a really good job of bringing everyone up to speed for the release of_ Final Fantasy XII Lightning Returns_ in Europe, North America and Australia this February.

As someone who never played XIII-2 I am now seriously considering picking up a copy of Lightening Returns. Well played Square Enix, well played.
