Final Fantasy XIII Spoiler Thread (SPOILERS)

[Winter]

To be fair, in English there's a big difference between Eclair and Claire.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

I like the change. "Claire" keeps the pun on the name Eclair without thrusting it into our faces. And it's an actual name as opposed to the name of a donut.

 

[Max Payne]

I like the change.

Big surprise there. I'm indifferent, but still think it's silly to bother changing.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

Big surprise there.

What do you mean?

 

[Max Payne]

You haven't really been bothered by anything related to this game so far. I doubt you'd start now.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

You haven't really been bothered by anything related to this game so far. I doubt you'd start now.

Because I haven't played it. I'm concerned about the linear accusations, but I don't know first hand just how linear it is. I'm holding off making an opinion on the game as a whole until I play it myself, so until then I'm mostly giving it the benefit of the doubt.

Eh, I've seen more than enough after watching a whole 40 hour playthrough a while back to make some kind of judgment. So I pretty much know how I'm going to feel when I finished the game myself.

Still, this is just a name. I doubt playing the game will change how you feel about it.

Fair enough. I haven't been following the feeds, for me watching others play doesn't work.

Still, this is just a name. I doubt playing the game will change how you feel about it.

Agreed. As I said though, I like it. Claire just sounds better to me. I hear "eclair", I think of donuts because I loved those things as a kid and thus all sorts of inappropriate jokes spring to mind. I was never able to take that name seriously.

 

[Max Payne]

I was never able to take that name seriously.

I hope you felt the same when the pink haired chick turned out to be named Lightning and the blonde Korean Gangster turned out to be name Snow.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

I hope you felt the same when the pink haired chick turned out to be named Lightning and the blonde Korean Gangster turned out to be name Snow.

Given the previous names of Tidus, Squall, Cloud, Terra and Cecil, I was expecting a weird name.

But yeah, the Eclair thing, taking it seriously had less to do with the actual name itself and more to do with how I think of that word and the associations I make with it.

 

[Glaurung]

It seems that Lightning's real name was changed in the western version.

It's now "Claire" instead of "Eclair".

Source in here.

Nooooooooooo!! I wanted to make fun of her name! Why, SE, WHYYYYYYYYYY!!!!?

 

[Strangelove]

So now her real name isn't just her other name in a different language.

That's not an English version I want to know.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

It's a much better sounding rendering of her name in another language.

That's a version I wanted to know from the start.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

By the way, stream of a guy fighting the final boss (English version) right now if anyone's interested:

I'm not looking at this entire thread, but I'm just going to say.
LOL Yaag Rosch was so bigged up in the trailers, and then appears in like two scenes, which I found totes hilar.
Also, Jihl Nabaat is the biggest bitch ever.
Finally, when Vanille reveals herself 'My name is Oerba Dia Vanille. I'm a l'Cie from Gran Pulse, and to everyone on Cocoon, evil.'
FUCKING AWESOME

 

[Bex]

I can actually look properly through here now!
I completed it, and cried for a ridiculously long time at the ending.

Spoiler

Fang and Vanille aren't coming back are they ;.;
But it was so bittersweet, at least they're happy and together...
BUT THEY'RE NEVER COMING BACK

BAWWWWWWWWW

Sure they will. Just wait for the sequel that's coming for the DS.

Fuck you.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Fuck you.

Hey, don't bitch at me! Look at S-E. Just sit back and eagerly await their wonderful new adventure sequel for FFXIII that will be developed for the DS, or if you play your cards right...the PSP.

Trust me fans. You'll be seeing FFXIII's cast again. Real soon.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Trust me fans. You'll be seeing FFXIII's cast again. Real soon.

My Focus will be to destroy this before it comes to pass.

 

[Makoeyes987]

My Focus will be to destroy this before it comes to pass.

Sorry Tres, fans like you are like the forsaken Pulse L'Cie. You'll either accept your focus and buy the sequel to continue consuming the spit that is FFXIII's compilation,thereby earning your place as an eternal servant to Square Enix's franchise....

Or you can become a Cie'th, forever tormented, as you become a jaded, and misshapen monster like I am, forever hating and depressed at what could've been an awesome franchise.

Personally, being a Cie'th is kinda cool! You get to kill things and hate.

You're becoming the cancer that's killing my buzz.

Though if they made a good DS spin-off, I'd play it.

'Good' meaning more Fang and Vanille

 

[Bex]

I will never buy an FF game for my DS.
It shall remain unused in my cupboard for all eternity.

But seriously.
IT'S SO SAD.
I keep crying.

When the whole crew turned to cie'th, and beat on Fang... and Vanilel was there and Fang was getting owned, and Fang tried to kill herself by becoming Ragnarok...
;.; ;.; ;.; ;.;
