Time to see the final instalment in the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, with a Movie Version of Lighting Returns: Final Fantasy XIII-3. Please read for extra information in case you've never seen one of my FF Movies:

1) This movie contains subtitles. Ever since I made my Final Fantasy XIII movie without them I have regretted it, and prefer to have my videos reach as many people as possible. This includes those with hearing difficulties and that have English as a secondary language. I appreciate that subtitles detract from the visual experience, but I don't have the time to upload 2 separate versions, so I have to go for the one that will allow the greatest number of people to understand the story.

2) As the FFXIII games have progressed it has become more and more difficult to turn them into movies. This game is pretty bad for any in-game stuff. They have introduced a new bar on the bottom left of the display that is present at all times and cannot be removed (unlike the map). If anyone knows how to remove the HUD there please let me know and I'll figure it out for the next part. The autosave icon is also intrusive, and is still present 5-10 seconds into a cutscene. There isn't a lot I can do about this, I have obviously removed all loading screens where applicable. The battle system is also very cluttered with a crowded UI and a lot of information on screen. In my belief it doesn't even look good while playing, let alone as a movie, so I have reluctantly removed it, as I did with FFXIII and FFXIII-2. Maybe as the game goes on I will get access to special moves and summons that might allow attacks that don't have the UI. I will add those in where possible later on.

3) These take a long time to make so this series will not be uploaded in a few days or anything like that. I do believe however that listening to the in-game conversations and getting to see the environments add greatly to the experience so I will take my time and make this movie version to the best of my ability. I am almost certain that someone will put out a shorter cutscene only version, feel free to watch something like that instead.

Thanks for reading, and I hope that answered your questions about why things are the way they are in this version. It's not as clean as I would have liked it to be (FFXIII was the best in terms of creating a movie, this one has been the worst so far, not even quick time events that I could keep in for action sequences)... I hope you stick around and watch this series the whole the way through, this is the last Final Fantasy movie I'll be making until the long anticipated Final Fantasy XV (except for re-uploading my FFX Movie with the HD remastered edition).

Lighting has awoken from her seemingly eternal sleep and has returned once again. A servant of God, she must save as many souls as she can from a world approaching the end of days. She begins her mission by meeting Snow, her sister's fiancee... It's not entirely clear how he is still alive, and things get even more confusing when it becomes apparent that Hope Estheim is providing "radio" support... After our initial encounter, Lighting warps back to the Ark, where Hope awaits her, and he explains some of what we've been missing, and fills Lightning in on the details of her mission.
