Lightning Returns' bizarre details explained by Square Enix

In an interview leaked today from the pages of Japanese gaming magazine, Famitsu, some new details were revealed regarding Square Enix's upcoming title, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.

According to the interview, the game will feature a real-time mechanic similar to the one employed in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. The entire game takes place over the course of thirteen days which progress at a rate of about two hours real-world-time. As such, it's meant to be played multiple times, experimenting with what can happen if you make different choices.

The tidbits also show that the game is only about 30% of the way toward completion, and that the battle system edges fairly close to being an action game, using a form of Active Time Battle.

There's many more details over at Andriasang where the story originally broke.
