A bit of a detour off the beaten path, Final Fantasy 13 was an experiment in change, especially from its predecessor in the Final Fantasy series. Where Final Fantasy 12 provided a political epic with a certain Star Wars flair filled with side quests and a massive world, Final Fantasy 13 opted for a streamlined, point A to point B experience with an intense story full of melodrama and self-discovery. The game also introduced new takes on classic Final Fantasy monsters and added bosses and a combat system worthy of remembrance.
Main characters Lightning, Snow, Sazh, Hope, Vanille, and Fang journey through the game and often engage in tense dialogue with one another before a boss appears. Final Fantasy 13's take on classic Final Fantasy summons (called Eidolons) often show up during a character's most intense internal struggle, an outward representation of the l'Cie power inside them. However, woodwraith pals Enki and Enlil simply wake up to Vanille and Sazh trying to sneak by, and they quickly instigate a fight.

Enlil is the smaller of the two enemies, which both look sort of like moss-covered versions of Blastoise from Pokemon with face helmets and long locks of hair. One Reddit fan of Final Fantasy 13, finalfanatic168, decided to create a sculpture of the woodwraith and shared it. Although it's not immediately clear what kind of substance is used in the sculpture, it certainly captures Enlil's coloration and shows off the many elements of the forest inherent in its design.
During the creature's boss fight, Enlil and Enki will trade attacks against Vanille and Sazh. Enlil has a particularly powerful lightning attack called Raging Tempest, while Enki has a similar attack called Raging Torrent. The good news is the woodwraiths are weak to each other's attacks, so one strategy to beat them is to stick with the Medic paradigm and stay healthy while they damage one another. Another common strategy employed by Final Fantasy 13 players is to focus down Enlil with water spells and then finish off Enki last.
While it's been several years since the release of Final Fantasy 13 and its follow-up games, Final Fantasy 13-2 and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13, there's some recent good news for fans of the trilogy. Developer Square Enix has released a surprise update for the PC version of the game, leading many to speculate that a Final Fantasy 13 release on Xbox Game Pass could be imminent. Microsoft has stated before its intentions to bring more Final Fantasy games to the Xbox Game Pass service, and it may very well be that all three games in this trilogy are destined to arrive soon.
Final Fantasy 13 is out now for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
