As previously reported, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII takes place several years after Final Fantasy XIII-2, in a completely new setting. In the game, the world is set to end in 13 days. Players need to manage a clock system, where every action they perform uses up time from the clock.

 

Characters in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII all go about their own schedules, and depending on what time of day it is, you encounter different events, even on subsequent playthroughs.
