Lightning Returns is pretty much the developers just not giving a shit and doing whatever the fuck they want. The game takes place 500 years in the future even though everyone is the same age and Hope actually looks younger than his XII-2 appearance, it has a super grimdark doomsday plot that has nothing to do with anything and pretty much invalidates the entire first two games Mass Effect-style, and Serah appears out of nowhere doing her best Misa Amane impression. I kind of made a bet to myself that I could come up with a different original story that was batshit crazy but still let me say "Well, it's only as dumb as the actual game." My solution was Space Godzilla.
I'm actually reviewing the first 2 games and so far I want to beat the dev team to death with a ball peen hammer.
