Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

[Splintered]

Yeah Bhuni confirmed to either be a troll or hates Lightning to the core.

Yeah Bhuni confirmed to either be a troll or hates Lightning to the core.

Or, like with most men, is not thinking with the head on his shoulders...

Though this outfit looks kind of cool... I'll have to see a clearer version before I make a final judgement.

@ 00:22--That's right, Yuna would totally end your shit right there Noel.

Trophy list leaked (spoilers) http://www.novacrystallis.com/2013/...-trophy-and-achievement-list-surfaces-online/

SPOILERS

Spoiler

ohmygod A Legend Of Times Past trophy OOOO:

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Well ... that just says it all right there, don't it?

 

[Selphie Tilmitt]

Meh, anything on Fang and Vanille yet? I thought they were going to reveal Vanille ... Getting a bit worried, don't really see anything about them in the trophy list either, well nothing blatantly obvious to me anyway although maybe I missed it. Goddamn it Square Enix those girls better have a happy ending or so help me ...

Of course it would be just like Square to tease about a character in an earlier trailer (Vanille in this case) and then not make good on it

Whew, at least it looks like

Spoiler

Sazh is getting one though with a father, a son, a chocobo

 

[Lex]

Holy crap I spoiled myself. Oh well, I'm not all that surprised about the spoiler anyway.

 

[Kuja9001]

Soo that new character is nowhere to be found

 

[Glaurung]

Hum... one of the costumes look like a bride gown, and the next is like the groom's suit, and then there's another which looks like a PSICOM-esque uniform.

Not bad, overall, but my favorites are always the armors.

[Blade]

I'm just going to reasonably assume that you can kick anyone's ass in this game regardless of who they are or where they come from.

Which was my assumption from the start.

 

[Splintered]

I'm going to assume that new character was a mistranslation and they meant Caius and Yuel.

 

[Arianna]

WelL, spoilers abound!

Spoiler

I am sad...

Spoiler

I just never really found the characters all that great to begin with. Vanille, Fang and Sazh were the three I cared for - Fang and Vanille really having a story.

I wish SE went a different path with XIII-2 and LR... But, they decided this way, and that's what we got. I just wish we got the War of Transgression game some of us who did like XIII wanted.

I just can't believe it's all over. It's ridiculous. Of course, I'm taking it as Bhunivelze is the last boss, and with him gone... It's all over.

My fal'Cie!!! Fuck you Toriyama!!!

 

[Fangu]

^ I don't geddit ari, you've been wailing about

Spoiler

Bhuni

forever and now that this character obviously will get huge attention you are still displeased?

When I first heard that spoiler was like 'oh Ari is going to be super thrilled!' but I guess not

I'm more sad because

Spoiler

it seems like it's all over

.

Don't get me wrong though,

Spoiler

I am happy that he's going to be more involved

.

Spoiler

I am really torn over the deaths of the fal'Cie. It just seems like such a waste, and such a horrific, terrible thing. Really, my heart is aching.

 

[Blade]

Look on the bright side...at least everything ends in an epic boss battle? Right?

Right?


Forget it, there's no pleasing any of you!

 

[Splintered]

Btw why is

Spoiler

Sazh's story the only one to get a trophy? Does that mean his is the only one that's a side quest while the rest are main storylines? Tbh I've been kind of suspicious that the were going to screw Sazh over with by giving him a throwaway story becaus the afformentioned "don't care about the old guy" thing in jrpgs. Maybe I'm wrong though. Fingers crossed.

The new world still makes my eyes roll but there was not a lot of ways to end it anyway. You could rewind time but I think people would be upset that it meant the last two games meant nothing. I'm just sad that it had to screw the og ending to do it. Minus the dues ex machina it was perfect for it. I guess tearing down the old world and starting anew is the same.

Everyone else gets one as well.

i'm not saying i'm going to use this to validate light x aerith but i'm totally gonna use this to validate light x aerith

 

[Splintered]

SHIPPER FOOL.

You can't use other titles to validate your pairing! Instead I'm going to use another title to validate my pairing, TifaxLightning. Suuuure you use this getup but when TIfaxLightning have actual dialogue in a game you ignore it! BIAS11!!!1 You shall not have this pairing too.

*negative thanks the post and pretends it doesn't exist*

 

[Cthulhu]

This... outfit thing is getting way out of hand, . I'm pretty sure that at least half of the stuff shown is going to be paid DLC. With more to come.

Lightning, the Barbie dress-up doll of the FF universe.

 

[Ghost X]

The question must be asked: after taking the fan service costumes away, and taking away the fact it is a sequel in a franchise, standing alone, what about this game sells itself?

 

[Mwynn]

Well it still is to an extent. New open-world structure, new battle system and more in-depth customization-- well, okay, the costumes are integrated to these aspects and I'm not really sure we can exactly say to what extent they're fan service because it's subjective imo (like, do you mean the very fact we can dress her up in many different ways is fanservice? well okay, I guess). Aside from the few skimpy ones, I mean, a good number of them are heavily inspired by old FFs, but that's not really uncommon in the franchise. I'd say though that the Yuna and Aerith outfits are maybe a bit too much, even if I don't mind them myself.

 

[Groodon]

Yet another trailer, do you guys think she really won't be able to save Snow?

 

[Drax]

So if you wear this costume you get pierced through the chest.

 

[Selphie Tilmitt]

Sorry, I had to

This is as shippy as faaa ... So many feels.
Light/Aerith fanservice too mmyeah.

Though ... *throws Tifa plushies at Splin*

Well I think they are being kind of ambiguous/subtle about whether or not the other characters are saved. Like I said before the trophy list isn't blatantly obvious to me aside from

Spoiler

Sazh, and the god of light thing, even then with the god of light thing I was like hmmm, oh it means Buni right?

For Snow

Spoiler

bringing peace to the patron, well people have been saying there are different meanings for what peace means to people so

If Snow dies/doesn't get his happy ending it'll break my heart ... but then he might become really popular (plus the whole dark/emo thing he has going on now that people like) and be in everything. Look at Aerith!
