At X018, it was announced that Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will all be backwards compatible for Xbox One on November 13, 2018. All will also feature Xbox One X enhancements as well.

Originally released in 2010 in North America, Final Fantasy XIII for Xbox 360. Starring the pink-haired protagonist Lightning, one of the game’s many deviations included a combat system known as a paradigm and Paradigm Shifts. This allowed the player to change strategies mid-combat.
