WoL is a manikin??? How... what??
In fact, "wild rose" is not the name of the flower Firion possesses, but rather the name that someone had casually suggested. Despite this fact, it is commonly called the "wild rose" by most, including Firion, after its name had been mistaken by all those who wield it.
Wat.
The Cloud of Darkness reveals the location of the gate to the Rift to Laguna, a warrior of Cosmos, as it found the manikins to be abominations that disrupted the fragile balance; but the true reason for revealing the gate's location was out of interest in Laguna, who holds an utter lack of concern towards the gods.
Laguna x CoD is canon.
And she pays dearly for this liking... now I pity her.
DAMN YOU, KEFKA.
Gilgamesh
The weapon collecting, dimension hopping, self-proclaimed "legendary swordsman".
Aw, Gilga-kun...
Kefka ensures that Terra is always by his side and tends to her, but only as she is a useful pawn in his quest for destruction. Kefka loses all interest in her once his mind control has been broken and Terra begins to refuse his orders of destruction.
A love that could never be.
/shot
After regaining some of his memory and learning of the mainikins, he hypothesizes that he may be a copy himself and takes his own life to test his theory.
Smart.
NOT.
Whether out of personal charm that attracts others, or just coincidence, a lively crowd is often seen by his side.
Squall. Charming.
Does not compute.
It seems that he loses his touch when Vaan is around, causing him to sigh often, though Laguna seems to have fun just the same when he's around Vaan.
I love this bromance.
Despite these transgressions, Kuja freed Terra from Kefka's control and comforted Cloud who was tormented over the thought of fighting a friend.
Aw, Kuja... always a softie inside.
Yuna and her friends take Tidus to the outskirts of Cosmos's temple, where he sleeps until the twelfth cycle comes to a close.
From all the ex-Chaos warriors, Tidus did the best job: snored and went to the good guys. Strong will, personal goals and bullshit...
As with the other warriors of Cosmos, Jecht received Cosmos's power durin gthe twelfth cycle, and he was ready to manifest his crystal. But the flow of energy within him transforms due to his revival as a pawn of Chaos, giving birth to a crystal of darkness.
And thus, the hypothesis that Tidus got Jecht's crystal is botched.
So, the question remains: HOW DID THE EX-CHAOS WARRIORS GET THEIR CRYSTALS???????
Shantotto disappears as she nears completing the ultimate spell, as the pending end to the cycle of conflict would hinder her research. Or so the rumors go.
I.E. "We have no idea what exactly happened to Shantotto, we won't bother with her."
He rescues Terra from the clutches of Kefka and tells her to become a warrior of Cosmos. Even Terra is taken aback by the sudden proposal, and if another warrior were present, would have surely denied his proposal. However, his words struck a chord with Terra, leading to her altering her purpose. Terra is eventually revived as a true champion of Cosmos. Vaan's open mind must have spurred this miracle.
Terra: "Marry you...? But... we've just met!"
Revolting against Cosmos for causing her comrades to select a path of defeat, and disgusted at the thought of allowing her friends to shoulder the burden of sin while she proceeds, Lightning chooses to battle the hordes of manikins.
And she didn't punch Cosmos! Not even once! SE, I'm disappoint.
Cosmos, the goddess of harmony, imbued her warriors with her strength - the crystals, bringing about the end to the long cycle of battle.
[...]
But more importantly, the warriors imbued with Cosmos's power were able to defeat the mighty Chaos in the thirteenth cycle. With both gods gone, this world slowly deteriorated.
HOW THE HELL DID CLOUD, TIDUS AND TERRA GOT THE CRYSTALS, IF THEY NEVER GOT COSMOS' POWERS TO BEGIN WITH????????? THIS PLOTHOLE IS AS BIG AS THE VOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chaos refused to battle Cosmos, a replication of the one he considered his mother.
And generally, Chaos sounds like a poor little thing... O_O He's not evil at all!
Shinryu then seduced Chaos
Of all the Dissidia couples to be canon...
I think the real bad guy here is Shinryu. Seriously.
