The Complete Story of Final Fantasy XIII-2

[@davidlejenkins]

Thank you so much for making this, I can't wait to watch it over and over again!! CAAAWW!

[@BirdsOfPlay]

Thanks for the support, we hope you like it! We're already working on Lightning Returns so stay tuned!

[@davidlejenkins]

​@@BirdsOfPlay I'm so stoked for it. I love the nostalgia mixed with my favorite soundtracks and your professional narration of my favorite games. It's an awesome experience that means a lot to me. ❤

[@lordvasileLive]

just wondering at the end of this video. you say "Were Whores" Caw Caw.

[@NoBody-hw6se]

Love or hate it, this trilogy is a fever dream. Think too much about any part of it and you'll like to lose your head

[@Nymyzys]

The ending blew my mind upon first seeing it. Had Final Fantasy pulled a twist to that extent before, where you were playing into the main antagonist's hand the entire time, and inadvertently helped him destroy not only the world, but all of time? All while a love ballad is playing. What a ride!

[@zurbon6391]

thats what’s happening in FF7 Remake and Rebirth though

[@AeonianBloom]

@@zurbon6391yeah hence why the said “before”; reading is a life skill.

[@richardwilliams8008]

Good Lord, the story is so convoluted; I'm so glad you made this video to clarify things! Thankfully, Lightning Returns isn't nearly as complex as FF 13-2 and is straight forward -- can't wait for that vid! Thanks for all that you do, it's greatly appreciated!

[@BirdsOfPlay]

Working on the script for Lightning Returns at this very moment (when I'm not writing this comment)!

[@aaronmartinez5139]

This game is so iconically chilling and very sad with how it pulls the rug out from under you. I still personally don’t know how it was so largely hated.

[@ratboyiscool]

For me it was so hard to progress at some points searching around for relics etc. It just became a chore to unlock new areas or story and it just felt like a chore

[@DogGodFrogLog]

Longwinded story in a hallway sim and forced to use side-chars you don't like. Was not their best entry in the genre. Lore is solid.

[@rentstoohigh1587]

Ff7 is iconic dipsh1t this is not

[@ratboyiscool]

@@rentstoohigh1587 oh we angered the fat bald guy who responds to a three month old thread 😭

[@sammyall9091]

​@@DogGodFrogLogyeah I hated using Sarah tbh I was Noel 90% unless I died lol bit I hated the beat thing, I get it its a call back to another ff I think 9 idk but not whats up youtube

[@booradley6832]

36:45 Ultros and Chupon (his SNES name) showing up is wonderful.

[@CouchtrollPodcastDS]

13-2 was written like a kingdom Hearts game. Lol Game play was excellent and as a complete trilogy, this series is underrated.

[@haroldsedit5181]

It was actually the same writer lol

[@BLU3D4Y]

Heck, Caius & Noel look they're are characters taken from Kingdom Hearts 😂

[@jbyjay]

This channel is an absolute gem! Great work you guys.

[@Gaaravify]

I love that you tell as the facts was shown so I can follow it chapter by chapter while I play without spoilers

[@papaAJ88]

This was the first game I ever finished 100% of the achievements on Xbox 360! I preferred it to the original 13, but I didn't dislike that one (or I probably wouldn't have tried this one).

[@joeyisabsb1]

This was incredibly well written and narrated.

[@BirdsOfPlay]

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching! We try our best! 🙏😇

[@matttran7161]

Yeeessss! 13-2 was great, that time travel mechanic was really well done.

[@ridensroom6957]

Great vid. I loved this game so much

[@ballroomscott]

I'm excited for when you do Lightning Returns now!

[@Rimlightt]

wow perfect timing! found it really hard to get through 13 and 13-2 (not because of difficulty but more so the games' mechanics), so I'm glad I can watch the story here :)

[@MrAgilla]

Finally your back!! Where have you been

[@BirdsOfPlay]

Glad to be back. We've been extremely busy with life but we're getting back in the game now!

[@vino.vvveeee]

hella underrated game

[@BirdsOfPlay]

Agreed!

[@danielparra3274]

I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR THE 13-2 OF THIS SERIES WTF LETS GOOOOOO

[@BirdsOfPlay]

We read minds! Enjoy!

[@phogetta1]

I remember I played this on my PS3. I then got FF13-3 Lightning returns. 2 weeks the next day PS4 drops. Well, I guess I sent Lightning back.

[@CouchtrollPodcastDS]

Hope Birds does Lightning Returns! Loved that game

[@BirdsOfPlay]

We've already made it! Should be released at the end of the month once it's out of copyright hell. It's available on Patreon at the moment.

[@andrewperla4142]

PLEASE do Lightning Returns as soon as possible.

[@BirdsOfPlay]

Working on it! Should be ready next month!

[@vinhdo5871]

Can't wait for the lightning returns video!!

[@BirdsOfPlay]

On it!

[@sammyall9091]

Havent played the third yet! Half way through 2

[@BirdsOfPlay]

I wish you all the best on your Final Fantasy XIII journey. The XIII trilogy has so much going for it.

[@jesumu85]

Out of the 3 games, this was the best. All had a great OST, but this was the best.... but gun to my head, I wouldn't be able understand the plots of any of them. Even after watching all BOP-videos

[@bigreaderpike]

Did anyone else feel bad for elise? No one, not even the time travelers remember her.

[@BirdsOfPlay]

Her actions are at least very understandable. Her little smirk makes me feel a little bit less bad though.

[@rentstoohigh1587]

No because I'm not a simp

[@GrandAngel8000]

Who?

[@EE-iy9rq]

I wonder if final fantasy will ever make a third series of a game.

[@oldrulesandnewrulesarethesame]

Well done

[@BirdsOfPlay]

Thanks so much! The complete story of Lightning Returns will hopefully be released at the end of the month once some copyright issues are sorted.

[@bardo1269]

great recap dawg

[@kasekgasek6214]

YT dont show me Yours videos, Im mad :/

[@BirdsOfPlay]

You should be mad! We're furious!

[@zhukel_marimasko]

I never even knew this game existed.

[@komlat253]

orginally back in the day i was shocked they actully gave this game a bad ending lol. all that hard work.i like it .too bad the story is just one big spin off

[@diegeticfridge9167]

LETS GOOOOO

[@BirdsOfPlay]

Early bird gets the worm!

[@lordofchaosinc.261]

I understood none of it tbh.

[@BirdsOfPlay]

The video or the game?

[@lordofchaosinc.261]

@@BirdsOfPlay both 🤣

[@YouTubeCensors]

I disagree 13-2 is phenomenal, 13 and 13-3 are both bland and boring. Also Noel single handedly is a better character than the entire 13 cast, not bad for a MC literally pulled out of thin air

[@delsingray5923]

I'd argue Snow is just as good as a character tbh. 13-2 is too complex than necessary and not into my third character being a monster

[@DimitriMoreira]

13-2 >> 13

[@BirdsOfPlay]

How about Lightning Returns?

[@lerrysorroche]

Wow, I thought it couldn't possibly be any worse than FF13 story, but this is the ultimate garbage. The fact that some people actually swear FF13 and its sequel's stories are good is simply bizarre.

[@paran0idpr0ducti0ns]

I enjoy your reviews, but this trilogy is awful

[@BirdsOfPlay]

I love it!

[@BuFFoTheArtClown]

Agreed. Worst of the entire final fantasy series.

[@GrandAngel8000]

​@@BuFFoTheArtClown... Have you beaten FF 2?

[@Abizzy84]

This was the best ff13 series! I don't know why so many people hate it

[@CrabWaffle]

I wanna know how the devs got to the time travel angle lol
