FFXIII-2 Lightning VS Caius HD

[@gid-and-friends]

When you play the game, you're too focused on what to do next, what attack to use, is my health low, should I put defense buffs on, maybe i'll debuff him, etc. But when you're just watching, you can really see how fascinating this shit is. WOW at that flying battle between both eidolons. Explosions and sparks in the air, the city below. Looks so amazing!!

[@DecepticonSkywarp]

Lightning: So you want to destroy everything? Caius: Oblivion is the fate of all things.

[@mryoshiyoshi451]

Well that's true

[@octapusxft]

the clash between lightning and caius at the start of this game will someday be remembered as one of the most epic fight cuscenes in RPG history

[@cosplaytimecapsule]

It really was one of the greatest fight cutscenes ever.

[@Kalenz1234]

If you think about it.. In Final Fantasy VII finding the spell Meteor was a key element and a good part of the story for the villian Sephiroth while for the protagonists it was to find a way to counter or defend against it. In the end the planet's lifeforce itself was used. In this battle the villian just casualy spams Meteor and Lightning casualy dispells it or lets herself being hurlt at it all in a "come at me bro" style. Just think about that for some moments... and realize just how fucking epic this is XD

[@JunKurosu]

This is comet not meteor

[@torngoldwist8538]

caius have the heart of etro so to put it simply he had control over the chaos

[@thesilentsiren]

This scene is undeniably badass.. Anyone who says anything otherwise is a fake.. people are built upon too high of standards for this series.. well, they can rest easy now because it's all over.. FF13-2 may not be a dazzling jewel but, it's certainly a step-up of a sequel. This game could've been MUCH worse.. but, it's so-so.. bad nor good.. It's not too shabby, guys.. loosen up.

[@Ray_V]

Kelsey Curles I know I'm a year late but yes to everything you just said!

[@revadarius2594]

FFXIII-2 is the best in the series. Then FFXIII. And I'd rather not talk about LR:FFXIII. It ties up the story lines of Caius/Noel/Sazh, etc. quite nicely (showing how awesome of a badguy/character Caius is). But the ending is crap, and it's not an RPG. It's a time management simulator. Edit: Still better than FFXV though.

[@user-tx4jg7yl7h]

@@revadarius2594 XV Is not that bad, if you accept the combat sistem Is a really good game

[@user-wy1et9dk9w]

@@user-tx4jg7yl7h you're welcome to think whatever you want but it's no news that game isn't favoured by longtime fans, myself included. As far as I'm concerned it might be the worst 3D ff lol, even for all of 13's flaws I quite liked the story.

[@unbothered5240]

@@user-tx4jg7yl7h Ff13 had serious flaws, mainly changing the main character from Vanille to lightning at the last minute, because of fan response. If they'd given us the ragnarock story as a hint and follows through from vanilles side, yes we wouldn't have gotten lightning as early, but the story would've made way more sense and been WAY more impactful. Rather than dull "find my sister" the player would've had a story of pure guilt weighing in on the main character who was playing happy, but resented their life and flaws. Which would've made the ending way better too. 13-2 then focusing on serah and lightning would've made more sense as well. A quest to undo the main characters sacrifice. And get the ending everyone wanted. There would've been no need for LR being fan service, and instead it could've focused on 15s hints. Regardless, what we got from 13 was atleast sensible. 15 was blatantly turned into trash by a trash director. Releasing DLC that had lore that conflicted with the already made lore.. and his only reason being "sorry, we forgot we said that already." One game had bad last minute adjustments that took away from the quality. The other was sabotaged by pure greed and had no direction.

I love everything about these three Final Fantasy XIII games. My favourite games (other than Battle Cats). The graphics and cutscenes just blow me away (it feels like I'm watching a movie), the gameplay is epic, music is amazing, story and character development is genius and it all shines further with that atmosphere. I loved these games so much that I bought it twice (for each game one copy on PS3 and one on X-Box 360). I'd replay these games anytime.

This is just fantastic! Lightning is as beautiful as ever!! I kinda miss her on a new game

[@otaku-warrior0017]

To this day I STILL do not understand why people hate XIII. Sure the battle systems needs a little more work, but the story, Eidolons, and world is not only awesome, it is also beautiful as well. The Eidolons in the game are still Godly beings like all the other FF series summonings just mechanical. Technology can be mythical and all knowing just like forgotten eras like Warrior of Light's home world. •Shiva being two entities, sisters, and able to transform into a battle ready, Humanoid-like motorcycle is unique while continuing the old traditions. •Odin a warrior of purity and able to turn into a horse like his past predecessors is also unique; cannot be a dark being all the time. •Brynhildr a new summon, a Gunscythe wielding warrior and able to become a race car with small machines as her soldiers. •Bahamut a dragon that kind of reminds of Dragoon in his normal mode, but in Gestalt Modes, a dragon just a little small from his predecessors; it is still good none the less. •Alexander the first humanoid summon, a king, and can transform into a fortress, still the same like the other Alexanders. •Hecatonchier is also new like Brynhildr able to become a bipedal mech with four machine gun arms. Everyone is so picky over the littlest things. Just accept the changes, FF still follows the tradition

[@Justaguywithglassesok]

only thing i didn't like was that summons wasn't permanent

[@BenjaminGoose]

I think the fact that the summons were basically transformers was really lame and unoriginal.

[@Ragnarok182]

For me it was the battle System, how directly liner it was, the lack of Exploration, and Summons looking like as described above Transformers and not Eidolens. It would have been better off being a stand alone title and not a Final Fantasy, I would have given it more attention then.

[@Vayne_Solidor]

@@Ragnarok182 Ever played that game? XIII-2 is so full with exploration, unlike XIII-1, half of the worlds are great optional content.

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

⁠@@Ragnarok182oh shut up everyone calls x one of the best in the series and that’s even more linear then 13 1. And 13-2 if anything the problem is how easy it is to get lost. Honestly if anything I’d compare it’s progression to ratchet and clank 1 and 2 where you are going from one place to another to get important advancements needed to complete a separate area. Linearity isn’t a bad thing.

[@Hibiki_Kuze_84]

Immortal, Can cast flare, chill, Sunder, Tornado, Comet like nobody's business, Can manipulate time and space and transform into bahamut itself, he also never lost a single battle before. Seriously I don't know if there is even any villian possible to challenge Caius. He is the only villian cooler than Sephiroth if u ask me.

[@Ecstas345]

I wouldn't say he is cooler than Sephiroth but in my opinion they have the same level of badassery, would be fun to see interaction between them.

[@GO-sz1nv]

James Tan *Chaos, not Bahamut. Isn't that Fang's summon?

[@Hibiki_Kuze_84]

Gene Otero In Valhalla there are a number types of the same summons. Example will be a few types of Shivas. Chaos Bahamut is but one of the many Bahamut you can see here, there is the white Bahamut summoned by Lightning and the regular Bahamut summoned by Fang. Caius's Bahamut is a gift from the goddess just as the same with his heart of chaos, he used an ancient ritual to fuse with Chaos Bahamut which comes at the cost of the summoner's life, but since he has heart of chaos which makes him immortal, the ritual can't kill him.

[@GO-sz1nv]

James Tan Wow. That makes all the summons less unique and interesting. :( Lol. Thanks for the explanation though.

The most epic battle and most powerful chars of FF happened in 13-3 Lightning Returns.

Makes the plot lines of all other ff games look puny and really insignificant in comparison.

[@alloneness6956]

Valhalla has it's own measurement for time, but as for the ability to rewrite history, that's something inaccessible in Valhalla without the use of the Historia Crux.

Of course not! I also do and think this is one of the best, if not the best ship in the whole FFXIII franchise!

Once those circumstances were removed in LR, there was no hatred and thus their relationship could go in so many ways, especially romantically.

[@LeonGun8]

Actually it is not explained in the game itself properly but the whole "humans on pulse can learn magic" thing happens because Etro's actions, along with creating Paradox effects and gates, also caused a quantity of the Goddess magic to seep into Pulse's soil which can be accessed by humans. It is a similar nature to the magic l'Cie have, since their power is given from the 3 gods (either Pulse, Lindzei or Etro).

[@MV96642]

fROM 1:47 TO the rest of the battle I think it's an entire reference or parallel to ff7. I mean the battle between light and caius sounds taken from advent children

[@deVeresd.Kfz.1515]

I can sort of see the similarities, but that part where we have to take cinematic action as Light to fight Caius was much more badarse and epic compared to FF-VII's, because you can use magic, the music Eternal War fits very well with it, and the environment (Valhalla) is definitely more "fantasy"

chrisvirina no. Yeul dies young because seeing the future consumes her life. It was a price to pay for becoming the oracle of Paddra. She can be born again, but her fate is the same. Yeul and Caius are from an older era, even older than Fang and Vanille's.

[@chrisjigaboo]

Kevin Cortez i watched more of the cut scenes of this game. In "caius vs serah" episode 5, caius explains that the yeuls die younger and younger because of the what happened in ffxiii. This story was so confusing the first time i played it so it's just now im understanding the story. 😂😂😂. So if i understand correctly, after fxiii ending the timeline changed, future and past thus affecting the life of yeul. I think it's because the yeuls see more of the future because it keeps changing so it takes away more of their life hence dying younger and younger. This story is pretty great once you've actually understood it. Thanks for the reply tho! :) oh yeah, here in this video once yeul passes away caius enrages because of the flashback to the ending of ffxiii!
