I also have an annoying feeling that there might be a reason why they kept Vanille last. I really don't want to hope too much, but she still might get a new look.

Okay. Now.

THIS is sexy. This is the "sexiest" I want to see Lightning. Not pretend-to-be-sexy with cat ears and short skirts and cleavage and 'olol look at me I'm sexy' looks - that's the kind of out there sexuality I never imagined to be Lightning's choice of sexy.

Faith - a little restored. Not completely. They have a long way to go for that.

Edit:
BLASTED FUCKBALL :lol:

Also can I just say
FANG IN ACTION

Snow looks really really good there. And of course his VA's work is splendid as always.

Maybe the ending will depend on who you save? Which means you'll have to replay the game like 6-10 times. I like that <3

Did Sazh just say .... Wat.

Tbh I hope at minimum you can save everybody that was on you team plus xii-2. It's not a happy ending otherwise. Also poor Dajh, he gets the crap end of the deal almost as much as Serah.

EDIT: At first I was "eh okay" for Lightning's new outfit but... it reminds me of Amano's/Locke's outfit and now I like it a lot more.

Vaan-style belts.

I mean it doesn't look bad, but I'm not sure if it fights my image of Lightning (not that the cat ears do, either...). Still, it's not bad at all.


Also, I wanted to pre-order but apparently it's not pre-order-able in Spain yet... I am supposed to pre-order KH1.5 and a couple more games, (four in total, yikes), so I was hoping I could do them all at the same time. Oh well.

After being pulled into the expanding vortex of Chaos, Mog wandered the Void Beyond for an age. However, he found out that his moogle comrades had also wound up there, and together they built the Moogle Village; with Mog becoming the headman. Mog has long been wracked with guilt over his failure to protect Serah. The Moogle Village can be found in the depths of the Wildland&#8217;s forests. Mog is finally reunited with Lightning, but he has deep regrets about failing to protect Serah and tries to escape. However, Lightning speaks to him with words of kindness. Lightning sees Mog unchanged over several hundred years and cannot help but smile.
Bwah?

Mog runs the moogle village? But didn't he die at the end of XIII-2? I call bullshit.

I thought he fainted aswell, but I can see how people would think he died. He says "the goddess is dead, kupo" then his light goes out. He does say "kupo" after that though, it's just not too obvious unless you're looking for it. It's the part where they're all hit with wind at 16:46.

He's like Cid--where they treat him as an element of the game and not a character of it. Square picks their 3-4 favorite characters as figureheads and junks the rest.

So, I went to Amazon to preorder this game, and then I realized that I don't know where I will be in February :/ So I don't even have an address to have them ship it to yet. Hurray...

Remember that Japanese games didn't like Satz much because he doesn't look like them (too gaiyin). Is that, or that in Square they don't know how to handle several plotlines at the same time, or that they fear the public will get confused if they do so *shrug*

Anyhow, Light's new costume and moves are very reminiscent of a thief treasure hunter as Locke. If only they had added the bandana...

Is it bad that I actually do not care what they do with any other character as long as Fang gets a good storyline? I mean obviously the 8 main characters need their plotlines resolved, but the ones I care about are getting their good stories from what I've seen so far:

Snow: Is finally a bit rage, which has been a long time coming.
Fang: Seems to be as badass as ever.
Vanille: Unheard of, but should probably get something obviously Fang-related.
Hope: Had enough damn spotlight in XIII-2 tbh, but I'm glad he's back nonetheless.
Serah: Fuck knows, but it's probably going to be interesting.
Noel: Darker, needed given the events of XIII-2.
Sazh: Getting a bit of a re-hash. He really didn't need a big storyline, it was kind of over in the first game, but huzzah he's back anyway. Kudos to Sazh fans.

So to be 100% honest I'm nothing but pleased with what I've seen so far. Sazh is a bit like Cloud in the sense that they have to give him something to moan about to make him relevant such as what they did to Cloud in AC. He was kinda done.

Having said that, they could have had Sazh displace Hope as "command central guy" but then where would Hope go? Hard to say.
