I actually enjoyed LR much more than the first game and a little bit more than the second one. The gameplay was more dynamic and I had no trouble stopping the clock and gaining those special points to spam/stop the clock and buy some time while doing sidequests. I wish the game was longer though. After the 5th or 6th day, I finished everything there was to be done in the game and slept in an Inn until the 14th day where I unlocked the bonus dungeon. The bonus boss there, I couldn't beat it. I plan to do so, someday, however.
My current plan is to wait until LR is out, and on sale bundled with the other two games (so maybe 2016? 2017 latest?), and get it all for PC and do completionist playthroughs of all of them
. Definitely 100s of hours of gameplay, with better than XB360/PS3 graphics, for a relatively cheap price!
This is partially for me, but also partially for my boyfriend who likes the Lightning games MUCH more than I do. I'm not even particularly enthused about FFXV either, or Type-O. Only the FFVII remake has my hype, and World of Final Fantasy looks...cute.
