Forget that happened, since Square Enix slightly altered and re-launched it. Disregard all the parts of it that are identical, or all the footage that you swear you've seen before.<br /><br />One of the only differences that stands out in the remixed trailer is the music, really.  <em>Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII</em> is heading to Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2013.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/23/heres-the-real-lightning-returns-final-fantasy-xiii-debut-tr/">Here's the 'real' Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII debut trailer</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:00:00 EST.

As in, it's another sequel to <em>Final Fantasy XIII</em>. "<em>Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII</em>" was unveiled at tonight's Final Fantasy 25th anniversary events.<br /><br />According to the game's Japanese website, Motomu Toriyama is heading up the third game in the <em>Final Fantasy XIII</em> series (yes, we seriously just wrote that) - a game that's said to end Lightning's story. A video was shown during tonight's event that we're expecting to see pop up any time now, but we've got a concept art gallery below for you to check out in the meantime.<br /><br /><strong>Update:</strong> Andriasang's <a href="http://andriasang.com/con2ji/ffxiii_lightning_saga_live_blog/">liveblog</a> of the Japanese event shares a variety of details on the upcoming game, including Lightning's customizable gear (said to be many and varied), the setting ("Navus Partus"), and more.
