I'm more eager to see Fang than Vanille though and lets just hope there will be another trailer of both of them soon.

Kuja mentioned Bhunivelze being mentioned/talked about a lot in part three of the beginning... What's being said?

Also translation of the convo between Light and Hope by this tumblr user
Hope: Welcome home, Light.
Lightning: Hope Estheim, a boy who once shared the same fate as me and fought against it. In the beginning, he could only curse his unfortunate fate. But he quickly developed into a dependable comrade. And as he continued to move forward with unwavering determination, he even became a strong leader who guided the people and watched over their future. At least, that’s what he once was… But when I heard God’s voice and awakened from my long slumber, Hope had returned to his child form, as though he had leapt back in time. And in this familiar form, Hope - the master of “The Ark” - introduced me to Bhunivelze’s divine plan.
Hope: The god of light, Bhunivelze, is incapable of stopping the Chaos from destroying this world. So he has decided to, instead of saving this world, create a whole new one. However, there is no point in creating a new world if there are no people to live in it. This is where you, the “Savior”, come in. The Savior will release the souls trapped within this dying realm and guide them to the new world. Only you hold the power to save every soul - including Serah’s.
Lightning: So, basically, this is all a trade. If I want to save Serah, I have to play along as God’s little messenger-girl.
Hope: Only you can fit this role. However, I also find it unpleasant that he is using Serah as leverage.
Lightning: I don’t think so.
Hope: What?
Lightning: My little sister’s life is being held in a bargain. Normally, I would never forgive something like this. But the feeling just doesn’t resound within me anymore… It’s like there’s a hole in my heart.
Hope: I…know what you mean. It’s the same with me. I can recall experiences from my past, but I can’t remember how I felt during them.
Lightning: Perhaps it’s one of those divine “blessings” from God. His loyal servants have no need for emotions. That’s why we have none.
Hope: Then… I should suppose it was also part of his plan to put me back into this body.
Lightning: I never had a choice. I was the one who led my sister, Serah, to her death. To save her, I could only agree to obey this so-called “God”. And in this way, Hope and I became servants of God. I as the Savior - guiding souls to the new world. A servant of Bhunivelze, the god of light.
Hope: Light? Lightning? What’s wrong? Umm… Are you okay?
Lightning: I was just thinking. Don’t worry about it.
Hope: Approximately five hundred years ago, stability was destroyed and Chaos flooded into the world. Despite the vastness of our world, the Chaos has managed to corner all life within a rather short amount of time.
Lightning: And when the Savior loses all strength to go on, the bell will toll for the end of the world…right?
Hope: The echoing sound will awaken Bhunivelze, signaling him to establish the new heavens and earth.
Lightning: The question is, how many souls can I save before then..?
Hope: Yes. The souls we are unable to save will disappear along with the old world.

Ohhh, I think this just might be as I thought.
I have said before that it could be a ME2 ending, where you might not be able to save all your friends, but the canon ending is when you do. It's starting to feel like that's just whats going to happen :P

Why can't they just leave it at XIII where it was bittersweet? No need to drive nails home. @____@ I just wished they finished with XIII and actually worked on Agito and Versus properly!!

Noctis is not official yet.. I mean FFXV isn't out yet.. That's why there's no Noctis or Stella outfit iirc..

(Fixed your post because English is important to me).

That's no excuse, anymore.

If Dissidia Duodecim can have Friend-Card avatars of Noctis and Ace YEARS AND YEARS before either FFXV or FFType0/Agito come out...not to mention Gilgamesh getting his DLC costume from Type-0.

I should at least be allowed to expect something like Noctis' early 1st trailer outfit and weapons for Lightning.

...Bah...anyway, I still don't get it.

Why set the game at 13 days if the general rule is "till the savior's strength gives out" being the sign for Bhunivelze to press the reset button?

Fixed my english? lol. Sorry that can't be helped since english isn't my first language. I thought I have told everybody that I have a hard time here. But if you want to speak Malay with me then I can. Since I speak Malay more fluently than English. :3

hahaha.

Yeah and those of us who don't really need to spend time learning it as a second language, because we get on quite fine in our home countries speaking our first, find it rather unimportant.

I do wonder, between the two of us, who gives a bigger fuck about English.

@Arianna

As you can hear in the beginning, Lightning is talking with Hope. I can't hear that much what they were talking about but I think I heard Hope mentioning Bhunivelze too but it is not so clear though so I'm not so sure.

All I can clearly hear is Sono hajimarini watashi wa mezame ta which means sono (this) hajimari ni (beginning) watashi (I) wa (topic marker) mezame (awaken/awakening), so if we put into phrase is this is my beginning, the day I awakened.

And another in 04:27 Snow saying that Lumina is akuma (devil) and Lightning questioning him, is he really thought shinigami (死神) a devil? or something like that.

Sorry I can't help much though. Maybe you should ask Hito to translate those youtube vids since he is far more superior in nihongo than me.. And Tres can do it too. :sadpanda:

Hey, you have your neuroses, I have mine. :aah:

Clearly I win this pointless contest. :joy:

...Also, speaking of pointless contests...please do tell if there are any annoying side quests that are 'difficult to accomplish' in this game. I don't want any wall-bangers if I don't have to. (ala FFX's Blitzball Chocobo Race nonsense for a Celestial Weapon upgrade).

Seriously though, everytime I see XIII get blamed for the problems of Versus and the localization of Type-0 a piece of me dies. Maybe if Versus hadn't decide build an entire new engine, or decided to wait for the PS4 release, or decided to have Nomura work on two other Kingdom Hearts titles, it would be out faster. And maybe if PSP sales didn't suck abroad, and the title was released so close to the Vita launch which also bombed, we would have Type-0.

There are a laundry list of games from Japan that aren't being localized, and that's not XIII fault either. *sighs* Though it's nice that these things don't pop up with such frequency in XIII related topics anymore.

Troy Baker's Snow is just miles better than Daisuke Ono's imo. Also great to hear Lightning's sassiness again, I missed that a lot.

Lumina is growing so much on me. Love how she sounds both in English and Japanese.
