Lightning Returns closes the FFXIII trilogy with a garment-based action system and an inexorable clock that pushes efficiency. A divisive yet original FF, but Lightning carries the journey with melancholic grace that lands right in the heart.

Story
"Captivating"
Bolder and more eclectic, the score by Naoshi Mizuta, Masashi Hamauzu and Mitsuto Suzuki blends orchestra, rock, electro and pop singing in a surprising sonic kaleidoscope. Each theme dares unexpected stylistic turns that embrace the story's time travel. This singular musical generosity gives this sequel a strong, original identity.
