I am very glad that the final game in this trilogy was the best, Lightning Returns is not as big as the other two games, but the writing and questing system was really amazing. The ATB Battle System was the most fun with the Overclock mechanic.
The music is amazing as always, the story and characters were well written, Lightning is a true example on how to write a good strong female protagonist.
+Improved Battle System
+Beautiful Music
+Nice Explorable Areas
+Lightning is Best Girl
+Nice Open-Zone world
+Challenging Bosses for NG+ or NG+++
+PC port did not need fixing like previous two games
-Majora's Mask type of gameplay, in-game clock is always running and you can only stop time with Chronostasis Ability, which requires Energy Points. You can extend days left by doing Main Quests + Side Quests
-Normal Mode is almost like hard mode for first time players, just play on Easy mode to enjoy the game
-Encounter rate gets annoying sometimes
Conclusion: If you're a Square Enix/Final Fantasy Fan, and you completed most of the good games, then you might want to play this Trilogy. While it isn't as good as FF7 or FFX, it is enjoyable when you try your best to understand the story.
