Black mist is called Chaos. It's basically evil energy. Snow can enter the chaos because he was a l'Cie/he's the reason that the mist is there/weird Japanese logic. Lightning isn't eating souls, she's saving them (main gameplay mechanic). Snow's evil because he is being slowly consumed by chaos for over 500 years. He's wasting his life away because he blames himself for his fiance's death. He's also there because he's the "leader" of Yusnaan.Thunderous Cacophony said:Could someone explain for the uninitiated what the hell is going on?
The black mist seems evil, and the jackal guys come out of the Evil Wallpaper and dragged a girl into there, so you'd think that would be a dangerous place. But apparently Snow can just make a portal and go walking on in. And now there is a three-way battle between the jackal-demons, the saviour of the world who enjoys eating souls, and Snow, who is maybe-evil and has awesome ice powers but apparently wants to spend the end of the world at a nightclub.
On a side not, it's hilarious to me that Lightening's broken sword is still larger than the average real sword.
Actors play the role they are given, so blame her flatness on the fact that after the tutorial it is revealed that Lightning was made emotionless.Mikeyfell said:And what ever happened to Ali Hillis anyway? She was really good in Mass Effect 1. Did she have a lobotomy between ME1 and FFXIII?
The line "We were brought back without emotions to get the job done" is something they actually say in the game.Mikeyfell said:And what ever happened to Ali Hillis anyway? She was really good in Mass Effect 1. Did she have a lobotomy between ME1 and FFXIII?
Probably not, no. The game makes no sense at all. And the asinine twist at the end makes it make even less sense.Thunderous Cacophony said:Could someone explain for the uninitiated what the hell is going on?
As I understand it Bhunivelze ("god") is sort of the arch-fal'Cie, and he told Lightning to save the world. So presumably saving the world is her focus and she will become a Cie'th if she fails (though since the world would end it probably doesn't matter). The anubis things and dragons are Chaos spawn and Chaos is the "demonic" force which will, according to Bhunivelze, end the world.loa said:I kinda liked ff13 and this whole blathering about "sin", "god" and "darkness" is just so irritating.
Like, can squeenix even tell a story that isn't "grr religion bad" anymore?
Everything they established in 13 by making people read the goddamn footnotes has been thrown out of the window.
What even is a fal-cie anymore? What about lightnings focus or any of that crap?
Will she still turn into a cyberzombie if she doesn't fulfill some poorly defined task or what?
What's with those anubis things and dragons, are those things that lived on pulse?
Where are the robots and cyborgs, isn't this some sort of ridiculously advanced hyper future?
There was no reason for this to be a ff13 game at all. The setting doesn't even match.
Or possibly 'Stoney'Rawbeard said:Lightning should be renamed to Woodstump. Describes her character much, much better.
Isn't that quote something we call all describe the direct sequels to FF in general though?Mahorfeus said:Final Fantasy XIII was fine all on its own, despite its flaws. Convoluted sequels were the last things it needed.
Yeah, my End of the World party will definitely be BYOB. If I happen to have a surplus of liquor at the time, then at the very least, it's gonna be Pour Your Own.Who do you find that's willing to serve drinks at an "end of the world" party?
Nah, It's become my rule to just say NO to the direct sequels. Play just the number titled games. That's where the best balance of story, character development and battle system is.thejboy88 said:I haven't played any of the FF games since the original XIII, so I have no idea how we got from that to the events I just saw in this video. Should I try and find out, or would it just confuse me more?
