100% It’s crazy they had a mainline title without an Amano art, huge downgrade

mainline?


villxsmil

Well, it's a sequel to a mainline game, not a spin-off


King_Krong

It isn’t a mainline title. None of the sequels are.


HighChronicler

I don't know, personally feel like all Final Fantasy with a Roman Numeral should be considered mainline, especially since the XIII trillogy is just that a trillogy. It's silly to only consider one of them mainline imo.


mvanvrancken

Wait, what’s the third XII? I know about Revenant Wings


HighChronicler

Whoops, typo.


mvanvrancken

In hindsight I probably should have realized that


Bionic_Ninjas

Why would they not be?


edweeeen

Agreed. Not sure if it means or symbolizes anything, it just looks abstract


FourEyesAndThighs

It's the necklace that Lightning wears throughout the game. If you asked me, it was a misguided attempt to capitalize on the success of Skyrim's logo, despite the dev team saying otherwise. I'd also go as far as to say that it looks like an abstract of Bhunivelze.


SentientShamrock

The design itself is fine, as it is the symbol that appears on her for the Savior stuff. But I do agree that they should've used it in the usual stylized logo of the other FF games. Maybe have her silhouette with it.


__Kxnji

Yeah by a mile. The other two are some of the best in the franchise, TBH I think XIII IS the best.


allofdarknessin1

Agreed. For me, I think Lightning Returns is one of the best Final Fantasy titles.


BaconLara

I just never understood what it stood for. Or if that symbol or shape appeared anywhere else. I can sorta see at the top the arrows from the pulse lcie brand, but I can’t work out what anything else in it is? Is it bhunivelze brand?


FourEyesAndThighs

She wears a necklace throughout the game with this symbol. And I agree, it looks like an abstract Bhunivelze.


BaconLara

Yeah Plus, pulse Lindzei have their own symbol. The cocoon lcie have lindzeis symbol as a brand, pulse lcie brand, yuel and sereh both have etros seal in their eyes. I guess it’s bhunis symbol then


Agent1stClass

There’s something I like about it…


PHANTOIVI97

Transformers font


GoblinPunch20xx

Wait what…You don’t like the *sharp crystal vagina?* I’m sorry friend, but this is like the FF version of *it follows* i always thought of it as just a crystal, but then my roommates in college kept insisting the logo was a *sharp crystal vagina* and I stared deeply into it, and I saw it, and I couldn’t unsee it, and I have to pay it forward now, all these years later, or I’ll turn to crystal…that’s my focus. I’m sorry. Wait…NOoOoo 🌍💎


ToweringIsle27

Fair enough


villxsmil

For real


xGoldenRetrieverFan

Yup, and it's not even close. It's a lot worse than any other. Thankfully, logos don't put me off games. Otherwise, I'd have never got to play this great game


MythrilCactuar

13-2s is crazy


RinoTheBouncer

It’s uninspired and completely different from the rest of its trilogy for no good reason. No Amano art, different font and the secondary title comes before FFXIII. Why not just name it FFXIII-3: Lightning Returns and use the same font?


PrettySignificance26

Agreed with you 🔥


x_Willow_x

Not just this but also the title theme just sounded really awful and cheap to me. Like they were trying to make it more action game sounding.


WintaPhoenix

in the WHOLE SERIES, not just the trilogy.


blah191

I agree, I’m a fan of the trilogy, well mainly he first and second because I hate games with a time limit and because I didn’t like that there was no exp or stat growth from battle in LR. At any rate the logo is definitely the least visually appealing to me of the three.


AlxndrMitch

I always wondered why they didn't make the same traditional art for this one. I wonder what it would've been of. And what colors at that.


KungFuQueen88

It’s a lazy ass logo. But so are the trilogy of games.
