Lightning herself will feature customisable looks and combat styles, the publisher added, and the combat system is described as a hybrid of both FFXIII games, with real-time elements and time-based moves that drain the doomsday countdown.
Square Enix stopped short of calling the new game an action title but said it is developing Lightning Returns with 'responsive' control input in mind.
A trailer for the title was shown off at the Japan event, though it's yet to surface online.
