Here’s the latest batch of new screenshots out of Gamescom for Lightning Returns featuring The Wildlands – the last remaining wilderness in the dying world of Nova Crystalia.
The Wildlands is the fourth continent of Nova Chrysalia, and contains the remnants of the sprawling natural wilderness that once existed on Gran Pulse. Beasts run free here, and the people live a hardy life of self-sufficiency. But behind the lush and bountiful facade seethes Chaos that is especially powerful and dangerous. The Wildlands station is carved into the very face of a mountain. You can look out over sprawling green vistas from the station platform, making it hard to believe that you are still in a world on the brink of destruction. Be careful though – it’s easy to get lost within the massive forests if you’re not checking your map on a regular basis.
In the Wildlands, there exists a mysterious white chocobo known as the “angel of Valhalla.” Lightning saves this creature when it’s attacked by a monster and later agrees to nurse it back to health.
Canopus Farms is one of the small settlements within the Wildlands. The gysahl greens that grow here are considered a local delicacy. Another location within the forests is the Moogle Village – which is run by the very same Mog who once traveled with Lightning’s sister Serah. After being pulled into the expanding vortex of Chaos, Mog wandered around the Void Beyond for ages. After finding out his other moogle comrades had also ended up there, together they decided to build the Moogle Village. Not all is well, however, as Mog is still stricken with guilt over his failure to protect Serah.
Sazh currently lives with his son Dajh, in a house converted from the ruins of a crashed airship. He has been tormented for many hundreds of years by his failure to save his son, who fell into a deep slumber when the world began to collapse, and has not awakened since. Sazh has never give up on the quest to awaken his sleeping son. However, being unable to save him has cast a dark shadow over his heart…
It seems Dajh can’t awaken because his soul is in another place – possibly hid from Sazh by Lumina.
