Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

[Fangu]

I really like this piece and I'm dying to see it in a bigger format.

Noel placed with Vanille and Fang makes sense to me, being the children of Pulse. Then with Caius and Yuel hovering in the background, almost ghost-like.

I like how Serah and Hope's poses are kinda similar.

Also look at how they keep teasing the shippers having Snow's and Noel's backs to each other with Serah standing next to Snow XD

 

[Arianna]

Who's that black haired man?!

(Please be Bhuni, or Lindzei!)

EDIT: It is probably Sazh.

 

[Fangu]

It's Sazh, obviously

 

[Arianna]

It's Sazh, obviously

I forgot about him. Duh! But... It doesn't really look like him. Hmmm... Okay, well, it probably is him. Thanks Fangu!

New key art (small size for now)

I thought Vanille had her hair down but the closer I looked at it it looks more likely a veil.

Could be a veil and her hair down.

 

[Mwynn]

Well if it's both then that'd be cool.

Look at Lumina. Jesus that creepy lil shit.

 

[Kuja9001]

Yeul looks weird/different to me.

 

[Mwynn]

She looks pretty and her face model seems to be better.

More scans:

Spoiler

Wow Noel looks really good, even better than XIII-2 I think?

Snow is half Cieth omg just like I predicted before omg

 

[Kuja9001]

Dat Noel stare reminds me of Gollum.

 

[Fangu]

TOO. MUCH. AWESOMENESS.

Seriously. Yuel. YUEL!! I am officially a Yuel fan (again).

And Noel. Oooooh Noel. Smut inspiration right there. Holy feck. Don't ask me what it is about him but he has me fangirling like I did over AJ McLean in 1997.

 

[Glaurung]

Yuel looks prettier than ever!

Still picking my lower lip from the floor because no Ryg, no Cid and no Rosch

 

[Cthulhu]

Isn't Yuel like, jailbait. srsly.

 

[Fangu]

Fifteen - you decide

 

[Selphie Tilmitt]

Isn't one of them 17?

 

[Fangu]

Noel is 18, Yuel 15. Perfectly legal fine if you ask me

 

[AvecAloes]

Besides, has there ever been any mention of age of consent in XIII's world?

 

[Celesta]

Is Snow going ceith?

 

[Blade]

Snow was C'ieth before in the first FFXIII game...didn't really have an impact on who he was...don't see how it would effect him now.

I think he's just all emo because he lost his fiance.

 

[Arianna]

Yeul's expression is definitely softer, where as in XIII-2 she seemed to mainly give a hard stare. At least, this is how I take it.

Look at Lumina. Jesus that creepy lil shit.

Yes, she is. lol PLEASE BE LINDZEI!!! Because then I will be even more sure that Barthandelus was his/her truest child. So far, she's been acting a lot like Barthandelus.

Anyhow...

Snow was C'ieth before in the first FFXIII game...didn't really have an impact on who he was...don't see how it would effect him now.

Huh? Please explain.

Is Snow going ceith?

Hmmm... makes you wonder. He is turning dark...

 

[Blade]

During the time Barthandeleus was trying to get Fang and Vanille to form VoltronRagnarok, he turned their companions into C'ieth.

Thanked for the Voltron mention!

I was going to say all he did was beat on Fang, but then Snow did that with monsters before that, so yeah - not much of a change.

 

[Arianna]

Bumped for image!

Larger picture of the poster/magazine cover/ad!:

 

[Alex Strife]

I was always a Yuel fan. You can look it up .

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I keep forgetting about Lumina. I don't know if it's because they haven't shown much of her or because I haven't the foggiest notion of where she figures in.

 

[Celesta]

Yes, they were turned into ceith and restored to their human form by Etro.
It appears that Lightning is battling half Snow/half ceith in one of the scans, according to translated article his ceith/chaos powers gives him extra strength.
