<p><em>Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII</em> isn&#8217;t out until next year, but that hasn&#8217;t stopped Square Enix from releasing the game&#8217;s opening cutscene. Not that the opening scene to a game is sacred or anything, but maybe save that until we get closer to the game&#8217;s launch? Eh, well, what&#8217;s done it done.</p>
<p>The opening scene sees Lightning showing up during the last 13 days before the world ends and later going toe-to-toe with Snow, who doesn&#8217;t seem too pleased to see her. How many years have passed since <em>Final Fantasy XIII</em>? It seems like all the main characters from the first game are back in Lightning Returns and have various reactions to&#8230;um&#8230;Lightning&#8217;s return. Sorry, I couldn&#8217;t think of another way to put that.</p>
<p><em>Lightning Returns Final Fantasy XIII</em> has a release date of February 11th for NA and February 14th for Europe.</p>
