New ‘Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII’ QTE, XP and stagger details posted

[weber_dubois22]

Several new details have been revealed on Friday in regards to the upcoming multiplatform title, “Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.” The latest information, which comes from a Famitsu interview with Square Enix, talks a little bit about the changes made to the stagger mechanic and experience system. The possible return of quick time events was also discussed. You can check out the article and the details from Famitsu.com (via the NeoGAF forum for the translation) below:

Unlike FFXIII and FFXIII-2 where to stagger an enemy all you had to do was fill up an enemy's chain gauge, this time you have to fulfill a bunch of other conditions besides that.

• This time there are no QTEs.
• Lightning's growth is tied to completing the quests you get from people in-game. From battles you get components to make new equipment and points to alter the amount of available time before the end.
