People say that Lightning losing her emotions in her third game was a step backwards in her character development, but personally, I think that considering what happened to her until that scene of her talking with the representation of her severed emotions, Lightning did had a consistant character arc- it was about gaining new things in her life, losing them, and in the end, she figures out the source of her greatest obstacle- there is a piece of her that she herself cut away a long time ago, and when she realizes that she dosen't want to be left alone, she calls out for her sister, begging for her help, and in return, Lightning literaly reunites with that lost part of herself, that she cut away a long time ago, when she was a kid who just wanted to protect her little sister. I think that it's a perfect ending for Lightning's arc as a character, and the fact that she has one final badass showdown with Bhunivelze shortly afterwards shows that she hadn't lost her edge in the slightest. It's really sad that there are people who only remember her as that cold and harsh person that she was at the beginning of the trilogy's first game, because she DID went through character development, and she deserves to be recognized for it.

[@Schlomooo]

People won't get it You know what people usually do: If they don't like it, they're gonna hate it... And most of the time, they hate it because it is different... People just suck...

[@martinb.1324]

Her loss of emotions actually makes sense. It's been part of the lore of Fabula Nova Crystallis since the first XIII game that Bhunivelze aka god cannot see inside human hearts since they're infused with Chaos as Etro has been placing fragments of Chaos inside human hearts when their souls were reborn as a sneaky way and long term plan to sabotage Bhunivelze's utopian reality after he almost killed her and sent her to the Unseen Realm. Bhunivelze's goal in the third game is to create a new world free from Chaos, where humans will be nothing by empty vessels or puppets, similar to how the Fal'Cie only exist to do a given task and cannot deviate from it, which is why they have to brand humans as l'Cie to do their bidding for them. Anything infused with Chaos becomes unpredictable and "chaotic" (hence the name) and Bhunivelze absolutely hates that, he likes for his creations to be like machines. In the third game, Lightning's heart has been stripped from Chaos by Bhunivelze as she was reborn as the Savior, she clearly mentions several times throughout the game that a part of her has been missing since she woke up from her crystal sleep and later realizes that the Chaos from her heart is what's missing. It's similar to how Hope in the Ark also has no emotions when he has plenty in the other games, he has been reborn by Bhunivelze and stripped from the Chaos in his heart, he says that he vaguely remembers fragments of his former life but that he only exists to serve Bhunivelze now, and he is discarded on day-13 when his task is done. Nothing more than a puppet, an empty vessel for Bhunivelze to use and discard when not needed anymore, same as Lightning in the third game, this is what Bhunivelze wanted to turn humanity into in his new world, fortunately that didn't happen.

[@primordiuspendragon1620]

Complaining about Lightning losing her emotions is asinine anyway since it's literally plot relevant point hinting that Bhunivelze isn't a true benevolent god that he poses as.

[@karateLEMON]

Exactly how I feel. She's my fave character and my fave villain is caius as I was so empathetic of his story. Unpopular opinion I understand. Ff5 was my first FF game and I loved 7 up to ten equally but lightning resonated with me and the trilogies soundtrack I've been listening to for the past ten plus years

[@perrydolson1549]

Even though people give the Final Fantasy 13 series alot of flak, seeing all the characters come together at the end truly made me realize how close the entire group had gotten to each other and made me realize how attached I really had become to them. And I was actually sad that I would have to say goodbye to them and probably never see them on any other adventures together. The cast of Final Fantasy 13 will forever be my favorite group from the entire series.

I cried when watching the ending back in 2014. I am still crying watching it now in 2020. That flashback scene really got me, even though it was just a few seconds. That final scene with Lightning getting off the train. This trilogy began and ended...with Lightning on a train. The old comment I posted here years ago still rings true. I miss this trilogy. One day...I will replay it. A lot has changed since March of 2010...when I bought Final Fantasy XIII. But one thing as not changed; my love for the trilogy that got me through some tough times.

[@noctiscaelum7319]

The only thing missing from this game would have been some kind of Caius DLC detailing his time as human before he became a guardian. That and maybe, a DLC with Fang and Vanille, in Oerba before they were given their first focus to destroy Cocoon. Or a DLC with Snow, Hope, Noel, Fang, Vanille before Hope disappears and the party resign into themselves... Fang and Vanille fared better than the guys did, and by the time Lightning The Savior arrived, Fang was the only one really still kicking it with her spirits being high as ever.

[@nanaki5308]

That last one isnt possible because Hope disappeared before Vanille and Fang woke up

as appealing of an idea that is movies would never hold a candle to the full stories, they would leave stuff out or characters wouldnt be as fleshed out.

[@r.c.santos1191]

An anime would be better. Make it 15-20 episodes per game and it would be printing money.

[@hypoooh]

The cutscenes as a whole in this game would’ve been like 8 hours, which is enough for like 3-4 full length movies. This game is unique compared to others in that way, but it’s deff possible for movies or an anime series. It just wouldn’t even hold a candle to how much more money games make, and that’s what they really look at.

no matter what. i will always be a fan of Final Fantasy. and even though not everyome agrees with hiw it ended. i believe its more of the message they were trying to give out that was more important. in those final moments no god can control the human spirit. we are given our own way to percieve things to how they are. we may be flawed. we may fear. but those who we surround ourselves with. thise who we meet. thats what matters. we have a soul. we have our own chaos. we aren't empty husks to be used as like puppets. We are the ones who can forge our fates with our own hands and create a path to tomorrow. the bonds we share are what links our souls together and makes us stronger so that we may Hope for a better future.

What could've changed 13-2 for me is if it was a trio instead than just Serah and Noel. While Mog, could've been that, he's more of a pet. If Snow joined the trio then he could've atleast played a balthier like role than just be the "leading man" off screen and it would've prevented any tension between Serah and Noel and make Noel and Yeul's story more empathetic.

@@luitsatrap Story wise I don't think Snow would leave Serah again so I was confused him always going around and leaving her after ff13. What's more, it could've improved the battle system and bring out a unique style for each character. Noel would be the basic balanced classic main hero as the Guardian of Yeul. His main role would be Com and Syn. Serah, with Mog, will be the "summoner" and her paradigm is more of summoning the monsters captured and using their attacks. Her main role is Rav and Sab. Snow, as the last L'cie would be the true mage of the group and to expand on this, he would be allowed to become a L'cie from other elements so he can cast other magic. His role would be Sen and Rav.

Elise Gutierrez ?

[@Tsubasa2030]

Jamie Williams i thought that last comment u sent was racist

[@MrWashu12]

The one thing that I missed and wanted in this game the most was having my friends beside me from start to finish I get that its lightings story but to have all or at least some of her friends right there with her would have made this game even greater.

[@celestialsperah6354]

UNITE WE STAND DEVIDE WE FALL I WILL LOVE FINAL FANTASY FOREVER........THE MOST PRECIOUS THING I EVER GOT IN MY LIFE

[@datemasamune2904]

I was honestly expecting that the final boss's first form would have been Hope.

[@LadyBerry1990]

lightning reminds me on mila Jovovich as Alice in resident evil. someone else too?

[@christiansamuelsantiagoher8785]

Lady Yuna yup

[@sunnyxflowers5879]

Lady Yuna You know what, come to think of it? Lightning kinda looks like that blonde chick from law and order svu.

[@girlyvlogger3927]

Lady Yuna Same

[@kinh9994]

Yeah!

[@spcmegreg]

I always thought of Hayley Williams, lead singer of Paramore

[@Darklupo13]

Why do I feel like they just turned into the life stream and became the world of ff7?

[@Grandorian]

Its funny you say that cause when they show that Magitech Armor in 13 and said it came from Pulse I always assumed Pulse was the world in FF6 and Cocoon was made because of what Kefka did to the world half way through! So it would be kinda neat if they were the lifestream and 13 basically connects 6 and 7 :D

[@stepheniebowen6527]

And yet there are more theories that Vll and XV and more connected haha

[@nisteven]

No thats not the life stream, that just all human souls going to a new world and if you ws watching. You see it went by planets within are own solar system. They ended up here on EARTH. Meaning Lightning is alive on earth somewhere right now. Also FF10 is the game that actually have connections with ff7.

[@nathanabel8169]

Colors weave into a spire of flames~ Darn that smash theme fits here too good.

[@Flamingwarthog117]

I could imagine what the real Sarah would feel..

[@MrOrcshaman]

You know, clearly a lot of love was put into this trilogy, the animation, the effects, even some of the voice acting was superb. It's just a shame a bad script ruined a lot of it

[@GabTheDrummer]

I'm happy for noel

[@gerzeefaye2682]

And over here is neon blue lifestream. Still can't get over FFVII. 😶

[@couchpaotato857]

Out of all the FF that I've played, the ost/bgm on this one really gives me goosebumps. Gosh, i miss this serirs. Hopefully they will recreate this on PS5 :(

[@Dotoku14]

As 'meh' as this and 2's storytelling was, this ending left enough of an impression on me that to this day I still get emotional at 16:17. Not that you can see it with this video's fricken brightness level.

[@DJMEWMEW]

I just watched this again. Real master is caius. Though for the wrong reasons, he was right and his actions weren't all bad. The gods were the worst. I realized in ff even the good gods aren't good. This is still one of my fave games

[@Nevesdeath]

Some day I'll play this game...

[@alicecardi8565]

It's still time :)

[@dannysimion]

Aww, this was one crazy ride but the ending really is touching and epic. Wish we saw more though after they were reborn into the new world. Anyways, favorite part that seems to give me wet eyes is seeing Serah saying goodbye to Mog at 15:37. Kupo!!

[@sambajane]

this ending just left one crucial detail out. what about HER HANDS???? AND MY HANDS????

[@metastabillity8991]

So a thought occurred to me. Barthandelous won. His goal was to have you kill Orphan, bring down Cocoon, revive the "maker" by letting darkness into the world by the countless deaths of Cocoon falling. He failed in 13 1. 13 2 comes by and Caius put himself into a win win situation. If he kills Lightning, etro dies and darkness enters the world, if He dies, etro dies and darkness enters the world. Allowing Barthandelous plan to follow through 500 years later than planned. However. The swarm of Deaths for Barthandelous was to create a new world. After you defeat the final boss of 13 3 the world comes to an end and is created anew. Meaning after 500 years of 13 2 and 500 years of darkness into 13 3. Barthandelous' goal was achieved. Flood the world into darkness for the Maker to awaken to create a brand new world to start fresh. The villains in 13 and their motivations and actions are phenomenally done.

[@daniellewolfe3612]

this final fantasy has prolly the most emotional ending of all of them

[@lethalkaguemay]

and all that happened before FF VII, they turned in the life stream... and she is cloud!

[@kafuuchinomusicpub5461]

To be honest, the only thing that i love the most in this scene is when noel finally got his yeul back, and also! Lightning is so godamn hot as always!!!.

[@armanozyurt5051]

how epic final is this, wow

[@aloaktersabina5044]

I love lighting

[@aurumvale9908]

I get chills watching this again

[@DJMEWMEW]

I cried, I loved this. Please don't pull a ffx ending. Also 13 had its bad moments but this did have great characters. I like the fact it was a creation myth that still had technology

[@wsinnoz]

If is not for the train's scene, you would think FF13 is a pre sequel of FF7 and Cloud is Lightning reborn. Those lifestream.

[@girlyvlogger3927]

Wsinno So Wat?

[@Lukamusic81]

I hope things go this way in this reality, everyone ascending to a new 5th dimensional earth. love to all

[@joehanley7200]

A truly great end to a trilogy

[@chinimon8259]

When we die go to God dimension our real home

[@MasterofTheUniverse1337]

New Age Bullshit 👎🏻.

[@joshuanegrete3633]

I dare someone to play this game or watch this video on high volume in a christian house. Lol

[@DJMEWMEW]

Joshua Negrete I'm not sure they would care. Ff fuses lots of stuff. And if the main message is people don't need god, they still have a god of death. Ff was always not christian

[@hanielmartins3833]

I did. And guess what? No one cared haha. Only my brother asked me why the characters were killing the "god" and what kind of god he was. It is just a not-so-good harmless video game, after all, that teaches some good lessons about love and frienship, which I liked it. But XIII and XIII-2 are way better

[@hanielmartins3833]

Like Caius said: The living doesn't need a god, but the dead, do.

[@silverman824]

will get real bloody in my muslim house i'll say that, christians are past this stuff but Muslims are realising blasphemy is a norm lol

[@faithmurai6803]

As a Christian, I personally see the "god" as the God of this world, which according to the Bible is Satan. After the fruit of knowledge incident, humanity basically handed the world over to him. After this world ends, God is supposed to walk among us as Jesus in the new world- not like most people's current idea of a distant god but more like a father and a friend. This game being translated from Japanese, there's usually difficulty translating the difference between idol and god. The way I see it, Lightning is saying "we don't need idols in the new world." This series is fairly Christian-friendly, like the rest of the series. The writers of the series just tend to not like Catholicism very much. *shrugs*

[@StrangerWorld77]

We need remake of this

[@alicecardi8565]

It's still look beautiful I'm not sure it will come anytime soon. But I'm all in if it does!

[@StrangerWorld77]

@@alicecardi8565 yeah beside graphic I think the battle system should be remade like FF7 remake.

[@alicecardi8565]

@@StrangerWorld77 Oh so really a remake with a new battle system and else. The battle system of XIII grow old and because of that I had a hard time re playing the XIII, I agree. But if something comes up it will be more like the update of the FFX they did few years ago ( I don't remember the term in english... ). FFVII was so dynamic tho! It would be so hype to play XIII with it

[@ayakotami3318]

The scene with Caius though. My heart just skips a beat. Not the fate I wanted for him and Lightning's distraught look at it. And the way he sounds when he let's the last of the Yeuls go with Noel. This ending hit right in the feels.
