Final Fantasy XIII-2

[Arianna]

Everyone knows me by now:

I WANT MORE FAL'CIE!!!

Lindzei, Barthandelus (Minrva + Galenth)/Orphan, etc.

...wondering if it were even possible to free them without bringing Cocoon down on their heads.

I wonder if that would be the bad scenario ending?

No one cares about Serah. Where's my Fanille?

I WANT MY LESBIANS

Not for Vanille and Fang in the 'sexual couple' stance, but...

I give two thumbs-up in approval for this statement.

 

[Super Mario]

Read Episode 1. Lightning does leave to try and free Vanille and Fang (and as soon as she takes ten steps away from the happy couple she falls into a timeportal) but she raises the same concerns you do, wondering if it were even possible to free them without bringing Cocoon down on their heads.

Osnap I did NOT see this!

So she and I are on the same boat? except I wonder if its scientifically possible to save them while she wonders if its magically possible? SWEET! we better find out come game time.

 

[OneWingedDemon]

Here's to hoping she doesn't find a way, and spare us the entirely predictable, cheesy ending. It's be something new.

"Fuck, this journey was pointless"
I'm down!

 

[Super Mario]

Hey I'm down with her finding em, cos I want to see if fanille will live on.



And I want to know the sccciiieeencce behind this.

 

[Alex Strife]

They WILL save them, just as Tidus was saved in FFX-2. Obviously happy endings are fine and shit, but the original FFX ending was powerful, and all that power was destroyed in FFX-2. The same will happen in FFXIII-2. Vanille and Fang sacrified themselves for everyone else's wellbeing, and that sacrifice will be nullified.

 

[ForceStealer]

It's a game, make it dependent on the player. X-2 kinda did it given that you didn't HAVE to get Tidus back, but the problem with that is the endings were still classified as bad, good, and perfect. Make it so that depending on the player's actions - they've already said there are choices - you can get a couple perfectly good endings. Some may result in Fanille's recovery, others may not. And never make an official position on which is canon.

Problem solved.

 

[Super Mario]

So in order to find out the sccciiieeenncc-y part of how to get them back, we have to wade through at least 10 endings? Sounds fantastic! I think I'll give this game a shot, its their only consolation price for screwing up with Versus XIII's arrival.

 

[Alex Strife]

And never make an official position on which is canon.

It's Square-Enix we're talking about here. They WILL have an official position on which is canon, at some point. There is a canon for everything!!

Also, inb4 someone mentions the LTD and canon issues with S-E.

 

[Super Mario]

I'll say this once, and I'll say this again in regards to VII's so called 'LTD': Tifa and Cloud ended up together. Cloti wins! I'm sorry but its true ; . ;

 

[Cthulhu]

I'll say this once, and I'll say this again in regards to VII's so called 'LTD': Tifa and Cloud ended up together. Cloti wins! I'm sorry but its true ; . ;

But they left it intentionally vague because they like the thousands of people bickering on the internets, .

 

[Super Mario]

Vague? he lives and sleeps in the same house and bed as her gentlemen! if that's not victorious childhood friend then I'm not sure if I'm in the right picture!




Although I do like the notion of the both of them spooning each other. That's just my cloti fanboyism sparking up my arc reactor.

 

[Tifabelle]

Personally I prefer canon endings in games like FFs. Even in FFX-2 there was a canon ending, and I like that.

Other games it works for not having canon endings. Then you look at a game like Infamous which has two completely different endings (which is perfectly fine by me), but there can never be a sequel.

 

[Tennyo]

But Infamous does have a sequel.

 

[Tifabelle]

I mean Infamous 2... sorry.

 

[Super Mario]

I just hope there's no need for a FF XIII-3 or they're really pushing their luck with the fandom and customers

 

[OneWingedDemon]

Some may result in Fanille's recovery, others may not. And never make an official position on which is canon.

I think optional resurrections are just as bad. Having the option to bring back Aeris would remove all sense of loss because in your universe Aeris could come back. It amounts to fanfiction, imo. Also, labeling an end as "good" or "perfect" implies it's what I should be aiming for.

BOO, I say!

 

[ForceStealer]

Didn't I just say they shouldn't label the endings bad, good or perfect?

 

[OneWingedDemon]

Shut up. I read it fast, ok?

 

[Lumina]

Can I say that I do not like Vanille's voice? That I wanted her to shut up on Final Fantasy XIII...and now have to listen to her again in XIII-2? Hopefully not as much. I loved Vanille's japanese VA...but Georgia whatever...not so much.

But then again...I wouldn't imagine this game with someone else as her VA. In the end I just will put up Mute and read only the Subs...

 

[Sheva Alomar]

For fuck's sake, they're NOT BEING RESURRECTED. They're still alive, really. =/

 

[Ghost X]

You just need a gameshark to play them again, and get a secret ending.

 

[Arianna]

I would think that Fang and Vanille could be released from crystal stasis. At the end of XIII, it looked like they were more so just floating or hovering inside the pillar, in crystal stasis, not a part of it.

 

[OneWingedDemon]

For fuck's sake, they're NOT BEING RESURRECTED. They're still alive, really. =/

I know that, but for all intents and purposes they are dead to the world. They made a sacrifice and to bring them back would render it meaningless.

 

[Zee]

For fuck's sake, they're NOT BEING RESURRECTED. They're still alive, really. =/

CHRIST THANK YOU

Aside from that, wasn't it hinted that L'Cie who've crystallized will eventually reawaken anyway to give them ~eternal life~ 'n shit?

So I mean either Lightning finds a way to get them down safely or one day they just melt the crystals, drop Cocoon on Pulse, and destroy the world again.

 

[Lumina]

Well..aren't Serah and Dajh L'Cie who awoke again? And Vanille and Fang were once Crystallized too so...IDK. For me they're pretty much alive
