LIGHTNING IS SOON BACK TO SPOTLIGHT
You have maybe noticed the lack of the Lightning Returns news after the announcement that happened back in September? No need to worry – it is coming to its end. In these past weeks, Square Enix has been sharing old information about the game on their official Twitter and Facebook sites to slowly build the hype.
Now they have announced that there will be lots of news about Lightning’s comeback in December! (Which starts tomorrow! Have you yet bought Christmas calendar and gifs?)
THE STORY BEHIND THE NEW LOGO
After the news hurricane announcement of December, Square Enix told more information about the logo of the game – which is dramatically different to traditional ones. The team wanted to create something completely different and unique for the game. There was many ideas for the logo and several designs were made, but those were scrapped.
The final form of the logo was the one you can see in the picture above. They say it combines Lightning and metal. The new logo won’t be only presenting the game, but it will have a role in the game itself! What could it be? Maybe it’s Lightning’s new necklace which they will be including in the super limited edition of the game? Who wouldn’t love to wear bling bling like that?

MASASHI HAMAUZU IS WORKING ON THE SOUNDTRACK OF LIGHTNING RETURNS?
According to interview by Swiss newspaper, Masashi Hamauzu (The music composer of FFXIII and XIII-2) is working on new games and projects. This information was emerged when they were interviewing him about the concert/tour of Imeruat. Maybe he is composing new music for Lightning Returns while touring with his band and Mina?
Imeruat will be having a concert this weekend in Toulouse (France), so he gotta be busy and working hard IF he is composing music for the game at the same time.
COOL INFORMATION: In the concerts, IMERUAT has been playing a vocal version of BLINDED BY LIGHT (battle theme of FFXIII) what made us wonder: Would it be awesome if the theme song of Lightning Returns was rearranged and upgraded version of Blinded by Light with vocals, wouldn’t it?

an interview but obviously in japanese xD
Yay for Google Translate!
I tried and failed with Google Translate, sadly. It was like abstract poetry.
Translated this at morning and it provided 0% new information. Old information from September 1 told with new words.
Bummer. Do you think they’ll be doing anything at Jump Fiesta?
So excited for new news! And if Hamauzu also happened to make music for this I would be perfectly happy with that. Actually, bring back the other two composers from XIII-2. XIII-2’s soundtrack was more diverse and exciting than the first one.
Any news of a FF title is good in my book. Nothing satiates the RPG-hungry soul quite like SE. :)
I knew the logo had to b a part of the game some how (just like all the other games logos). But im really glad this media black out is over=) can’t weight for more info.
Finally!!!!
Awesome! Thanks for the update! Also, I have always wanted to know who the character on the extreme right of the Square Portal Logo is. Anyone willing to enlighten me? ^^
It’s Lara Croft from Tomb Raider. :)
I always did love Hamauzu’s work. Can’t wait to hear what surprises he has for us :]
