Square Enix announced at the Friday press conference and opening ceremony for its Final Fantasy 25th anniversary exhibition that it will release a Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Ultimate Box with the first 13 games in the main series.

PlayStation Asia has leaked a special, ‘Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary “Final Fantasy XIII/Final Fantasy XIII-2 Dual Pack” Limited Edition’ less than an hour before Square Enix’s big Lightning Saga New Developments Presentation in Shibuya.

The Dual Pack will go on sale in Asia on September 13. It will include both games – the Ultimate Hits edition of the first game – and eight post cards. If this pack isn’t announced for North America, both games have “Traditional Chinese or English, and voice acting in the original Japanese.”

The most startling change to Lightning Returns comes in the form of the doomsday countdown. According to Square-Enix, the world will end after 13 days, and a massive clock will count down constantly in the corner of the screen to indicate this looming deadline. Any action players take, even taking the monorail from place to place, will spend time and hasten the end of days.

With Lightning as the only playable character, players will have unparalleled control over customizing her looks and combat style. The battle system itself, a greatly modified version of the previous two, will feature real-time elements including direct control of Lightning's movement and her attacks, as well as time-based moves that drain the doomsday counter. Lightning Returns will also include a real-time block system, designed to make battles much more active and time-based. Even dying mid-battle will activate a prompt to give players the choice to rewind their mistakes at the expense of the timer.
