Not sure if this has been posted yet but I stumbled upon it on the reddits.

If it's not a fake or a silly mistake, they'll have to release the other two titles for it to not seem awkward. I'm happy either way if it's true.

Yeah if this is legitimate its extremely perplexing.

I would lol if they released it with 0 plans to port its predecessors.

Is Lightning evil now? O_o

At this point that statement could apply to Lightning, Noel, Snow, or even any of the other major characters.

Alternate endings are amazing, aren't they? :P

What do you mean alternate endings?

And was this prophecy mentioned in XIII-2?

I don't remember it...

Also I don't think the prophecy mentioned in the trailer was in XIII-2

Oh, I wouldn't hope for that. Lightning's story has literally been Deus ex Machina every step of the way.

... Much like Kara Thrace's. :awesome:

Except her story was way better. :monster:

How So?

Well, aside from the deities literally being machine-like, they -- especially Etro -- have been influencing events every step of the way it seems. Pulse and Lindzei manipulated the fal'Cie into doing what they do, and Etro stepped in during the War of Transgression, at the end of XIII and right after XIII.

Now there's this business with Bhunivelze, and Lightning herself was something of a godlike being in XIII-2, influencing events from afar.

Every time I see Snow, I wish I would've scanned his section from Fragments After :'( I'll scan it once I get moved and settled. I might even pick up Fragments Before.

Something bad has happened every time the god'Cie(God tier fal'cie) tried things their way, I don't see that as a DEM.

As a literary term, though, it fits what has happened. Etro saved the day when she stopped Cocoon from being destroyed during the War of Transgression (there weren't really any direct negative effects from this that I can think of either) and again at the end of XIII-2 (the chaos seeping in and mucking some stuff up was an unavoidable side-effect).

And, well, Lightning getting taken to Valhalla to become a Super Saiyan can only be seen as a positive thing on the whole.

Sorry, that was semi-sarcasm on my part.

What with the premise of Lightning Returns being you can't discover everything on the first playthrough, and since FFXIII-2 had alternate endings (Paradox Endings) it's a possibility that shouldn't be ruled out.

But if you want more specific stuff:

1. Snow is a L'Cie and that could be a BAD thing at this point (given what we know happened to characters in FF Type Zero/Agito).

2. Noel inherited the Heart of Etro (maybe?) from Caius.

3. Lightning is WHO you play, so it could have a bad ending possibility.

I could say more about the others, but that's...just a bunch of things to consider and mostly speculation.

And yes there was a prophecy in XIII-2 but it mentioned 2 saviors, not just 1.

I was about to whine again, but apparently this is just something that kitase did for Yoshi-p as a FFXIV thingy, I don't know if it's an actual outfit.

So I threw up a quick gif set of Lightning's new pose

It is by far the most confused emotional response to a gif set ever. Like half of it is like FAPFAP and the other is like BURN SQUEENIX TO THE GROUND. A good portion has both reactions.

What is Lightning Returns doing to its fans?
