Final Fantasy XIII-2

[Arianna]

To humans, being crystallized is like death; and, besides this case (XIII), it's not really told if a fal'Cie will release their human servants.

It's been described that crystal stasis is like sleep, but it also sounds a lot like astral travel ~ if you know what those who believe in that say about it. The person who is crystal sees and hears what is going on, but they are physically unable or very rarely able to interact.

To fal'Cie, it's normal! They are crystals! Well, their truest physical forms, if I understand it correctly. I guess I can see where it would be offensive to a fal'Cie for a l'Cie to mock or misrepresent crystallization (which is kind of the feeling I got from Galenth Dysley/Barthandelus/Orphan).

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

Well, when the fal'Cie needed him/her/them again, yes - they would be reawakened. What happened at the end of XIII - Either it's not known if a fal'Cie would release their human servants or it is a rare thing.

Heck, even humans releasing other humans from slavery was a less-than-often thing. I don't know if 'rare' is the right word.

Also, the eternal life was the l'Cie/crystallization part of the deal.

Has there been an explanation as to why the group were decrystallized anyway?

 

[Tetsujin]

A wizard did it.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

A plague called aids spread through the land and a call for heroes went out.

 

[Terrafig]

I assumed the fal'Cie needed them for something else, but Episode 1 destroyed that theory. Perhaps Fang and Vanille used their divine crystal makery powers to divert crystallization to Cocoon. The party also uses The Power of Love and Friendship to overcome Cie'th-hood, so it's probably supposed to be something similar.

Short answer: No. Square backed themselves into a hole where they had to make a tragic ending, and then wussed out.

I hope they fix it in XIII-2 somehow.

Vanille's voice can be heard saying "Wake up". I dunno, maybe it was them who did it, maybe it could be later revealer it was Etro herself *shrug*

[Lumina]

Is this real? Or just fantasy?! Serah's loveliness just grows with time =D

 

[Glaurung]

At last a very serious look. Snow was right when he thought that the two sisters were very alike after all.

[Ch00b]

She's so adorable *_*

 

[Tetsujin]

So...will we ever have any other characters in the party besides Serah and Noel? =/

 

[Max Payne]

Serah's costume looks fucking retarded.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Serah's costume looks fucking retarded.

It really does, even by FFXIII standards. Just...wtf.

 

[Max Payne]

LOVE HANDLE WINDOWS.

SKIRT CORSET THING

LEGGINGS THAT STOP JUST ABOVE ANKLES(NOT THAT BAD BUT STILL WEIRD IN THIS COMBINATION)

 

[Tetsujin]

Bring back Sazh with a better haircut imo. That'd be one character I care about.

 

[Tifabelle]

There are aspects of her outfit that I like and don't like. But I have that opinion on nearly every FF costume.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

In other news, Serah felt the need to outdo Porom.

[Tetsujin]

...I see boobs.

 

[Max Payne]

I can't get over the ridiculous pee-pee stance.

 

[Glaurung]

...I see boobs.

It happens when you wear white clothes, no bra and you squish them

Damnit, I didn't notice. Now I can't unsee them.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

Damnit, I didn't notice. Now I can't unsee them.

But why would you want to?

 

[Glaurung]

But why would you want to?

Pure envy?

[Ghost X]

Wow, visible nipples and everything. I personally think her face is a bit derpish, but then I only know this from experience.

 

[ForceStealer]

I still kinda like her weapon. As for the outfit, it would be drastically improved just by closing the "love handle windows," imo.
