Going over the previous games in a short, condensed version, this obviously SPOILER HEAVY video gets you up to speed on all the time-traveling, Cocoon saving hijinks that Lightning and company go through over the course of the first two games. This nifty little homage to the older games is a great way to prep yourself for the release of Lightning Returns.

Maybe, just maybe we’ll see some more of these Retro Recaps of the Final Fantasy series… or maybe a complete Retro Recap!

As a die hard gamer and a 40 foot tall mutant hunting robot, I love to analyze and pick apart video games to be able to play them at high levels, and of course, to look good and be flashy while doing it ! Currently the NA eSports Analyst at Cloth5.com, a League of Legends fansite, I've decided to branch out and blog about more broad concepts. If you want more focused League of Legends content, be sure to check out my work at Cloth5.com, otherwise stay tuned to my new GameSkinny account for all kinds of articles covering a wider range of games, from League of Legends and DOTA2 to Fighting Games and even the occasional Hearthstone piece !
