The story theme of Lightning Returns is "the salvation of souls" and Lightning is their liberator

Even more Lightning Returns information has been published online, this time from a Dengeki PlayStation staff interview.

While a good lot of it can already be found here, Toriyama and Kitase have shared a few more story hints which give a little more insight into the direction of this “World Driven” game.

Several hundred years have passed since Lightning fell into her crystal sleep, however, Chaos hasn’t spread everywhere yet. The core theme of the story is “the salvation of souls” and Lightning has somehow become their “liberator” as she is tasked with guiding souls to a new world.

The concept of religion has already been revealed in the city of Luxerion by the existence of their mad religious cult. Each of the other continents will have their own concepts as well, although full details have yet to be revealed.
