The official Lightning Returns website has updated with a couple new screenshots and information on Chaos Infusions – symbols of destruction in the world of Nova Chrysalia.

During specific times of days, monsters will become more powerful due to the influence of Chaos – but defeating them means they’ll likely drop a rare item. These Chaos Infusions can appear at random locations, and to avoid being caught up in them NPCs will run about trying to escape.

Although these outbreaks of Chaos can show up without warning and are quite optional, you’ll want to keep an eye on your remaining time in the world. Unlike FFXIII and XIII-2, Lightning will not automatically recover HP after battles, so she’ll be forced to use items or head to an inn or cafe to recover health. The world itself is more open than before, but the further you stray from Lightning’s goals, the more danger you’ll put her in.
