Lightning didn't had ONE MINUTE OF REST since the beginning of Final Fantasy XIII to the end of Lightning Returns.

[@zaqareemalcolm]

She kinda did when she went into crystal stasis preserving Serah and riding out the end of the world lol

[@caramelcoffees]

I feel really bad for Lightning, she keeps losing her loved ones and the world's always counting on her and she never gets to just be happy because the fighting never stops for her but she always fights anyway because she's so noble when really she just wants to be with her little sister :(((((

[@tysonsilvers4903]

I wonder if lightning is a good example of what it would be like if faris from ffv was the protagonist

[@WynterRayn19]

Tyson Silvers it’s very that

[@IlMemetor72]

Reminds me of myself in Firenze and Roma

[@camau79]

Noctis has it worse

[@karmayi9469]

@@camau79he had it bad but not as bad as Lightning not by a long shot man was just a brat until shit hit the fan lol

[@LightsValhalla]

Why is Lightning just so damn beautiful? I mean come on she's beautiful as fuck.

[@lotobloom9768]

Light Lucis Caelum ikr

[@tysonsilvers4903]

I feel like she she's someone who doesn't act like a damsel in distress and shows women can do anything a man could and that makes her so interesting and attractive in a way. Even in ff13-3 she got so many outfits and it give more aspects of her feminine side which is something as viewers is interesting bc we really got to know more about how her character off from battle sites. That is my personal opinion.

[@tysonsilvers4903]

Also I wish serah hugged lightning if for no other reason she wouldn't know when it would be the next time she would ever get to have that chance again

[@LindaKruegel]

Gay

[@Ilitsaprime]

She really is. Beautiful, strong, and smart. She's perfect. And that voice, omg

[@jbac5767]

She really is.....n't real.

[@michaelbrent1536]

Too bad she’s not in Kingdom Hearts!

[@sushles]

..Liara.

[@MageQuentin]

The actor of Lightning Farron is Ali Hillis

[@alexmercer2743]

Guess Etro's pretty quick at undressing the ladies.

[@assininesyndrome4901]

She's a woman of culture 👍

[@promethea8916]

lightnings story in the three games is underrated in comparison to other final fantasies

[@Jack_80]

Lumina!

[@tysonsilvers4903]

@Sub Saibot question #1 would you consider her one of your favorites and #2 o understand where you are coming from about lightning returns but did you atleast feel like you got to know alittle bit more about lightning's personal life even though it was told but not shown?

[@tysonsilvers4903]

Lightning isn't my favorite protagonist butshe is definitely one of my favorite

[@JAmes-ny3if]

Played 13-2 n lightning returns..probably went through the whole story of 13 through youtube... i like 13 alot... music, gameplay, story as well... but im beginning to see certain points why it doesnt attract pple... the storys between the 3 parts doesnt seem connected... or should i say the flow or char development seemed to be rather forced upon... e.g. lightning falls into another land... saw the goddess, accepts her mission n faces the enemy like any other... the story within each of the game itself is beautiful... but what connects them seem very forced upon...

[@odin8352]

@Sub Saibot it was weird but I think it's okay since he's not the real Hope. +It is the Hope lightning knew and worked with.

[@hoshistev]

lightning smile kills me *-*

[@ShooterKitty]

She definitely has it the hardest out of all the characters in this series.

[@Pandalicious64]

ff13:Lightning served as a kick ass soldier protecting Cocoon. ff13-2:Lightning served as a warrior goddess protecting Goddess Etro. ff13-3:Who knows what the director will promote Lightning to....

[@blackswan5034]

The savior

[@icyrazor]

Goddamn why is Lightning so damn beautiful?

[@jakkuwolfinsomnia8058]

Etro took Lightning's belly button piercing; that's not cool. 😕

[@Chance-exe]

"I felt a whirlwind of emotions", she said in a monotone voice lol

[@zain4019]

Exhaustion and acceptance can do that.

[@pondrthis1]

I didn't like Serah's default clothes, so I put her in N7 armor. This cutscene quickly became Laura Bailey Shepard asking Lightning, "Liara, what are you doing here?" "Goddess, look what the Reapers have done."

[@suziegon]

Um, okay, so I'm just gonna go cry for Lightning now. They better give that woman a happy ending! ... Somehow I don't think they will though...

[@spirited154]

Are you happy to be wrong?

[@nexqus]

@@spirited154 lol true

[@armanozyurt5051]

Bro at the end of the all, she is smiling.

[@TZLproductions]

For the people wondering, Lightning's real name is said in the first game. It's before you fight Barthandelus in Oreba. Dysley disguises himself as Serah and calls Lightening "Claire".

[@samfisher3575]

Eh. Her "real" name isnt important. She's Lightning.

[@ClaireYunFarronXIII]

Correct.

[@louiseannreyes8144]

Lightning is so fucking beautiful ahhhhh! especially at 5:12 I can't even watch this without freaking out.. OMFG! I'm so fucking in love with her right now...

[@trunzlerclement3227]

Oh shit, same for me, exquisite. I love her look, personnality and combat style. I would love to see her in OUR reality

[@hidof9598]

Yes!It's rare to see such level of expression for female video game characters.Male ones are more teased around.😞😞😛😛😛😛😌😌😌😌😌😌😏

[@redcharlie7630]

that's new change armor and battle again 😑

[@ghostbmo163]

I believe the song that plays when Etro made Lightning her guardian is a slowed orchestral version of Lightning's Theme (Blinded By Light).

[@thaneros]

Damn, good catch!

[@AeonianBloom]

Yes, it’s called Tears of the Goddess on the FFXIII-2 OST.

[@Stephen96248]

What you all need to understand is that Lightning and them had to stay in Crystal status and wake at whatever time Fang and Vanille wake but Etro intervined and worpt time line by giving Lightning and them to wake earlier then they should that is why the gates came to be Serah knows it early in the game

[@utena11221]

Lightning: When a person dies, her soul flies to the otherworld, and passes through that portal. HER?! Why would Lightning say "Her"? Oh my Etro.... She knew even from here Serah was gonna... oh my...

[@vanillamoon_x]

I cried at this scene, I was so happy to see her. I love Lightning.

[@utena11221]

I have the same thoughts; I honestly do think Lightning knew what would happen. But, I also strongly think that since she changed her fate in XIII, Lightning thought it could happen again; changing fates. Like what Light told Hope in XIII, "Fightning with out hope is just a slow suicide."

[@NatsukeShift]

So what this video is telling me is that Caius is basically a male Ultemicia...

[@poisonimpact]

"The truth is, I didn't want to let her go, I'd come so far to find her..." My question is: THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU EVEN GIVE YOUR OWN SISTER THE BEST HUG YOU COULD EVER GIVE? YOU JUST STOOD THERE! sigh...

[@Servalath]

I love this cutscene, but it's sad when you know the ending :/

[@laineeboo1359]

Watching Lightning and how brave she is it makes me want to be like her for my family and protect everyone for what's right. But sometimes it's not the best' I think if I try like she does; all i'm doing is hurting people that love me..

[@zain4019]

I relate to this so much. Bless you and I hope you find happiness:) You deserve it.

[@grisannyfarron8150]

I liked the way lightning is dress in a warrior godess.

[@MsKira1313]

This has to be my favorite cutscene out of the whole game.

[@DenisK21]

Seeing this, try using her own powers to change history at certain points in their favor. Still doesn't work, as each "paradox ending" still leads to Etro dying in some way. Admit that the time crash is inevitable, and thus crystallizes self to survive the storm. Then, "Lightning Returns" will happen.

[@actingislife100]

Lightning: Maybe I can actually relax now and enjoy my life. (World starts to crumble) Just kidding here we go again :( I feel kinda bad for her.

[@AnimeGirlRulz14]

To think this all started from one little girl -_-

[@LinkinVoider]

Yeul. Caius does all that so that he can save Yeul.

[@Jack_80]

lumina is much cooler than yeul

[@wintermelon6390]

Yeul 😂 She already cursed since beginning I know she with caius in 3rd game

[@leeyinn5]

I just realised, after finishing both XIII and XIII-2, Lightning walks with a bounce in each step. o.o

[@katherinewonderland_9998]

1:00 WTF Lightning?! She just Smile? Impossible is that she smile :v

[@mrleakonelmstr]

I want this series remastered on ps4 and 5

[@roleemack1535]

For Real

[@abdulazizalbelushi7005]

I had fun playing & platinuming Final Fantasy XIII & Final Fantasy XIII-2! & i was gonna have a heart attack out of happiness when i heard of Lightning Returns Fantasy XIII! all i want to say is thank SQUARE-ENIX (^_^)

[@codyz93]

But you know neither of them have regrets. Serah knew her fate and Lightning knew the only way to perserve serah's memory. They both died(if you wanna call it that) happy.

[@jaffersadiqnajwani]

Ali hillis did a very perfect job

[@tysonsilvers4903]

I know she's basically the female cloud but lightning and serah also give me faris and lenna from ffv vibes

[@usul573]

You can recruit her in either of her outfits through the DLC, but she'll kick your ass in the coliseum and the episode DLC is meant to be played after you beat the game. I hear you, but hey, just gotta enjoy FF13-2 for what it is. I guess I adapted to Serah.

[@DenisK21]

Here's Lightning's sequence as far as I can tell. Dragged by chaos into Valhalla, learn the entire timeline, decide to become Etro's guardian. Fight Caius for countless 900 year cycles in a place where time is derped, only to reach a perpetual stalemate. Use Noel's arrival to get a message to Serah to enlist some help on their front, reality. Didn't work, Serah dies, Caius wins. con't next comment...

[@henryparker4384]

NOW I GET IT

[@weency1234]

@EJAXK13 yea, it does sound like dissidia.. 1.etro is cosmos 2. lightning mentioned an endless war 3. she also mentioned that etro chose her champions, same as cosmos chose her warriors

[@Nicopear]

I can't help but love Lightning :)

[@Angelus13531]

Shes a warrior goddess now.

[@flyboymitsu]

Love the Woodwind version of 'Blinded by the Light' in the background around the 9:00 mark.

[@NeoDanomaru]

Lightning's new transformation reminded me of Valkyrie Profile, when Platina transformed into Lenneth!!!

[@masteryoyo3160684]

ikr the only time we get to see her arms and half her stomach ;p

[@killerkuriboh0528]

at 1:42 i believe there was supposed to be a coma, thats y lightning said that line so fast, i was like wtf?

[@thefuturemrskaiba]

Lightning's a boss!

[@FirebirdPrince]

There was no need. In FFXIII in orbea, Fal'Cie Barthandeles practically told them before he fought. Claire.

[@JackalSans]

The way that Lightning walks its just like... "Bitches, please... Get the fuck out of my way, or i'll kill you!"

[@1flamehaze]

If you saw FF13 first ending , you'll see a crystallized Lightning there (ofcourse naked) , and you can see she had them normal size , not massive like DOA girls have, but not flat.

[@KivaDrakkor]

you know @4:57 some people were like DAMN YOU RED CAPE!!!!

[@FFlover2012]

At 4:58 I just realized that we've never seen Lightning's bare arm . . . or hand. OMG IT LOOKS SO MUCH MORE FEMININE!!!

[@leonardosanderle525]

4:58

[@actingislife100]

I'm curious, in the beginning of the game or mid part, Serah says that lightning knew what was going to happen to them, so did lightning know her sister was going to die? I have a feeling she did

[@scarletrose8766]

DD Nicole a Lil late but maybe cause she dint even told Sarah that they would be together again she just said one at a time serah meaning she dint wanna tell serah she's gonna die

[@usul573]

I'm still rolling the dice on the idea of her reaching godhood.

[@SwobyJ]

@WeaponXSigma Yes. We don't know her role in it though. She could be entirely unrelated, or could be a 'dead' god, only left in symbolism in Verses, or she could be entirely alive!, and important to Verses.

[@trevorjohnson1326]

I agree! FF XIII is my fifth favorite video game of all time.

[@utena11221]

I've been thinking about this as well. The Seen Realm and the Unseen Realm have murged now that the Goddess is dead, but since that happened after Serah died, I'm thinking that her soul is lost forever now that Valhalla is some what destroyed. That, or her soul went to the Void, which is beyond the Seen and Unseen realm... With time destroyed, are paradoxes even possible? I honestly don't want Serah to come back; I love her, I do, but it just doesn't sit right with me...

[@sonicbrawler182]

Ali Hillis is like the female Morgan Freeman. Of video games. Dat narration.

[@ackers5861]

4:56 Bet Noel was imagining that whilst Lightning was explaining.

[@lethalkaguemay]

Nothing like that "kupou" speech to squeeze ur gut and throw it out inside out. lovely english translation.

[@chira00chira]

That cape (or ribbon?) is the worst cockblock in the history of Final Fantasy

[@utena11221]

She didn't have to tell him; 'Serah' did.

[@leinad3643]

I agree, Serah is amazing !

[@blueserenity7]

Does anyone else ever wonder why Serah calls Lightning by that name and not Claire? I just find it weird that she could change her name and Serah would be like, "Kay, I'll call you that from now on, no worries sis! :D" If anyone in my family tried that I'd be like, "Yeah. Um. No."

[@M22617]

yeeeaaaahhhh Lightning Forever ... i love u

[@GZilla311]

What I mean is in function she serves more of a Valkyrie role, serving a goddess.

[@EnigmaPhenomenon]

**SPOILERS POSSIBLY?** ff13 and ff13versus aren't suppose to be connected at all, but etro is in ffversus and now ff13-2 and the story about etro in this is pretty much the same as versus with the whole "souls going through the gate of etro." and noctis and stella can see these souls....it makes me wonder....

[@Kakashisensei63]

@WeaponXSigma Yes. Stella mentions it when she meets Noctis for the first time.

[@ZeroFlameX]

i've beat the game twice and after watching this, i still don't completely understand how all this timeline space-time continuum crap happens after they get out of crystal stasis. -_-

[@thebakalord]

They weren't supposed to come out of their crystal state too soon and their fate as a l'cie would still be like that when they reawaken. That's why the time continuum was whacked, even altering the fate of several people would alter time in any direction

[@Walweeze2]

How can I get lightning in this game? She's my favorite character and will only buy if she's playable for a good portion.

[@thebladeofchaos]

@Robant100 I actually meant more 'hey Lightning, why did she happen to make you look like a Valkyrie instead of just putting spells and such on your weapons and armor?' I mean, if she's a goddess wouldn't that be easier?

[@TheKageichi]

anyone else think the sailor moon theme when lightning's outfit changed like that?

[@clairefarron3779]

Lovely.

[@TheAntz3]

@2:36 the same sound of the bell from Assassins Creed

[@Angrypanties99]

Oh, the one I was pointing out on this vid is called "A Future I Could Not Protect." Unless there are version titles of the song that are different?

[@SyrupFloss]

The way she transformed - I bet in her mind she was like "Fuck yeah, I'm a Goddess now."

[@adeleinetheartist8267]

Caius Ballad was really a fool.

[@Speak4Yourself2]

Thanks a lot!

[@jsh020]

@kenboy893 yes its really her, she cant leave vahalla for long, she vanishes shortly after this

[@thebladeofchaos]

@SeraphimSwordmaster that's the answer I was execting to come up

[@GermangoYGO]

LIGHTNING!? IS THAT YOU?! :OOOOOOO

[@Pandalicious64]

He's also that nerd from Everybody hates Chris

[@drhaxan]

I hate how Sarah dies in th end.

[@wintermelon6390]

Until now

[@codyz93]

they will in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

[@thebladeofchaos]

so....no questions about how she got the outfit...just normal everyday conversation.

[@Pikachupink]

I'm going to get so much hate for this, but Lightning oddly reminds me of Katniss.

[@utena11221]

My computer has no sound, right? I'm watching this, and seeing Lightning walk in silence, the only word that popped into my head was "Lady Thug". Curse you Saint's Row!

[@TheMusRattus]

The ending of this game freaking destroyed me. so many man-tears were shed

[@SemekiIzuio]

It didnt make sense why serah was a sear to me. It's like they had to make her special too.

[@wintermelon6390]

Just like Zack :( He shouldn't die either

[@Pandalicious64]

i know... im just saying, Snow asked lightning what her real name is and she said "ask serah when she comes back" Which made the game seems like there would be a happy ending all the way, but ff13-2 came out and made every battle pointless

[@Theologica]

Wish the cloak at 4:55 would just disappear first...

[@blueserenity7]

Ohhh. That makes a lot of sense, actually. Thanks, I learned something fun today XD But wait, which trivia in Academia?

[@Kakashisensei63]

Lightning

[@DetoNoto]

lightning likes to wiggle hear behind

[@laughfever]

I like her "old suit" on her more than her "new suit" on her. :P

[@xFirebird925x]

The ribbon...?!! (shakes head around)

[@Pandalicious64]

lol idk, the game ending WITH lightning's story is kinda confusing. The goddess is dead and lightning sits on Etro's throne. Who knows what Motomu Toriyama wanted to say

[@M22617]

hahahah that sound Goddess Lightning for me ... strong & beautiful oh yeah

[@scarletrose8766]

Apple Green a Lil late but she eventually becomes a goddess not on this part yet thou ..... In the third game she did

[@HackersSun]

all I can think of that name is.. Serah... Serah hawke *FLINCH*

[@SazukeEX1]

Etro wanted a peak.
