    Guys, the name of the first song that plays is called New World, by Charice. Any other songs are listed in the video description. Just getting this question a lot, so hopefully this gets the word out faster.

      Ide say whats even worse is Lightning knew Serah was gonna die. She knew how the whole thing was gonna go, says it herself. Which is a hige part in why I think Lightning isnt the good guy she seems to be at face value. She admitted that she saw from Valhalla exactly how the journey was gonna go and refused to answer Serah when she asked about them going back home afterwards. She knew that sending Noel and Serah on this journey meant ending the world.

  • @endlessevanescence3502
    @endlessevanescence3502 6 років тому +245

    I remember this. It shocked me at first. I mean, it shouldn't have, because they throw hints in your face that Serah's death was inevitable the whole game, what with them repeatedly telling you that her life span drains the more she sees a vision of the future. But I didn't really take that seriously and thought "Eh, she'll be fine".
    Then she actually dies, and I'm literally like "Oh...". The thing is that I somehow still had this small feeling that something bad was about to happen. The musis is SO freaking _happy_ and _sappy,_ like it was all too good to be true. It all looked to wrapped up and clean by the end. I didn't bawl my eyes out, but I liked Serah, and I _felt_ sad, and I felt even sadder for Lightning when she found out her sister died. That poor woman already had enough to deal with, including guilt, survivors guilt, and blaming herself for things that were out of her control, and as an older sister, she felt that she failed Serah (even though she didn't, Serah pretty much tells her as much).
    Still, I AM glad Lightning gets her back in Lightning Returns. This ending was a slap to the face, in both a good and bad way, and this trilogy deserved that happy ending.

      Mermaid 7 Yo I put about 300 hours apiece into each game and your tone isn’t appreciated or necessary. We can get into the technicalities of what is and isn’t a retcon if it’ll make you feel better. The fact of the matter is XIII clearly had a definitive ending that was completely rewritten at the start of XIII-2. THAT is technically a retcon, and what I’m referring to when I say XIII-2 was entirely built around one. LR is a different case, with a storyline literally built around saving everyone who has died and will soon die. Technically not a retcon because the storyline clearly established it as a goal. It didn’t change events in XIII-2 or rewrite them. I fully acknowledge that the cases are different. However, have you never heard the term used in reference to a storyline just not. letting. people. stay. dead? Because people do use it that way. Is it technically correct? LMAO no. It’s not. SO sorry. I REALLY apologize for using a technically incorrect term and I REALLY hope this long, unnecessary explanation sets you at ease.

    ... I THINK the reason why New World keeps playing after Serah dies is because there's still hope for a bittersweet ending. Yes, Serah's dead, but she protected the future. Her death seems like a heroic sacrifice. One life... for the future.
    And then the sky starts darkening, and the music cuts out because THEN it's clear there's no happy ending. Etro is dead and the world has fallen into Chaos.
    Noel and Serah have completely failed, and her death is meaningless.

    I honestly don't care what people say about this game. It's the most underrated Final Fantasy in the series. 12 is good but it's not the most underrated as it's known by. I find the story in this game to be more interesting and I can't even begin to tell you the good times I had with FF13-2.

    Everyone says that Noel loves Serah but haven’t you noticed that lowkey Serah started loving Noel as well.. you could see it in her body language, the way she looked at him, especially when things got emotional. The main one being this scene when she told Noel “thank you” you can tell she really wanted to say that she loved him before she died.. she was just hesitant on expressing her feelings because of her connection with Snow but you can see how that was being overridden throughout the game. Their relationship was so much better portrayed than of that with Snow by tenfold.
    Serah was the true Yeul that Noel became a guardian to protect..

    They took this song "New World" sung by Charice off of Spotify. So here I am. Actually glad to see this ending cinematic again. It's so emotional. I know a lot of people didn't like the FFXIII Trilogy but I did. I love this scene and I hold it right up there in emotional attachment to my nostalgia as the !!!SPOILER WARNING!!! goodbye to Aerith in FFVII. This song and ending has a lot to do with why I love the FFXIII Trilogy so much.

  • @MysticSpy
    @MysticSpy 8 років тому +291

    Noel and Serah fit way more together then Snow and Serah. It's just that Noel care more about her then Snow ever did.
    Snow say he loved her and all but i don't really see the proof.. Snow was a good guy in final fantasy XIII But in Final Fantasy XIII-2 i just feel like his such a jerk.. hmpf.. That is why i really wonder if snow ever really cared about serah.
    The proof from noel is right here: 2:43 - 3:54 . Catch her when she ''falls'' that he got her! 2:55 : He cares for her and ask her if she is doing allright! 3:50 : He doesn't wanna lose her. 5:30 : He touch soft with his hands and understand her even when she no longer there. 5:38 he gently rub in her hair. 5:44 : He wanted to protect her! (He actually did compare to snow that just ran away and just wished to see serah.) after playing and looking closer to the history. Snow did ''care'' for her in Final Fantasy XIII But after seeing this how snow is now compare to noel.. i think the best should have been noel. and 5:49 : He hold her close and are in pain and grief because he thought she was safe.
    NOEL! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOGETHER WITH SERAH NOT SNOW! T^T.
    Yeah i know what noel does in final fantasy return. but that wouldnt have happend if he choose not to kill: Caius Ballad to be a guardian...
    An other topic: Hope looking so hot in this game it's unfair! so does Noel! - T^T
    For some odd reason i like more animated men characters then ''real'' men. Please don't judge. :P

    • @timewizard98
      @timewizard98 8 років тому +23

      To me Snow loves Serah WAY more than Noel ever could. Especially seeing the events of Lightning Returns. I think Noel just took Serah's death hard because she was someone he wanted to protect but in the end lost much like what happened with Yuel.

    • @shaneyzamora2525
      @shaneyzamora2525 8 років тому +29

      It's true. We hardly see Snow and Serah together so it's just way to hard to picture them together. Noel and Serah look better together because we CAN see what they've been through.

    • @MysticSpy

    • @timewizard98
      @timewizard98 8 років тому +23

      Shaney Zamora Yes but what we DO see clearly tells anyone that they do indeed love each other. We see Snow propose and Serah accept and kiss him. Then there's the sequel, where no one believes Lightning is alive except Serah and she's very torn up about it. But Snow DOES believe her and goes to great lengths to help find her to make his fiancée happy. Then we get to Lightning Returns where Snow is VERY depressed over Serah's death. Not a day went by in those 500 years where he didn't think about her and how he believed he failed her. I don't know about you, but that says love to me. And it's not like people need to constantly express their love openly for it to be true.

    • @serahfarron7230
      @serahfarron7230  8 років тому +25

      It isn't that I don't ship Serah and Noel together, because they do LOOK good together. But as a dynamic I feel they're very... blase. They definitely care a lot about each other. I've written this about the subject (took me forever to track it down and my tone is snippy but this is because I'm rehashing through something I've talked about a million times(which is why i'm copy/pasta here because i don't wanna type it out agaaaain) and it's also the respond to someone else's argument so remember context when u read pls)
      ";;I agree with all the bits that concern Serah, but Snow is unjustly vilified for his actions in XIII-2.
      Snow 'wasn’t that great to her', except that he spent an entire game fighting against the world, risking his life and maybe even dooming himself to become a monster, all to fulfill Serah’s final wish. He left New Bodhum for Serah. To find the sister that she was so heartbroken over losing. Snow was the only one to believe in Serah’s memories, even when everyone else believed that Lightning was dead.
      I’m sorry that Snow wasn’t leaping for joy over a wedding that didn’t even have a set date yet. Considering that he left his engagement pendant with Serah in New Bodhum, it was highly likely that Serah already knew that their marriage was on hold, and chances were, Snow figured she knew that, too. He put their engagement on hold because he thought that it wasn’t 'the right time for a wedding' (transcript from the Graviton Core fragments), not because he didn’t want to marry her or wanted to keep her waiting.
      There are other things. If you play through Sunleth as Serah, Snow actually APOLOGIZES for leaving her and tells her that they’ll search for Lightning together after they defeat His Royal Ripeness. Of course, that doesn’t happen because Snow dissolves when the paradox does. When Serah talks about the fear and loneliness she felt when turning into crystal, you can SEE Snow hurting for her.
      The love is not one-sided. Yes, Serah clearly loves and cares for Snow, and that love and care is very obviously returned. People need to quit blowing Snow’s behavior in XIII-2 out of proportion, because he was most definitely NOT 'a total jerk'."
      Like I said I have a guilty pleasure for Noel/Serah but you can ship it without making it out like Snow doesn't care for her. Also the above argument was written months before Lightning Returns came out so if anything is off canon-wise, that's why. SORRY FOR THE ESSAY :'D

    If the ending stopped right there and left everything after for some sort of 100% ending, it would’ve been PERFECT. I feel like this world ending event happening RIGHT after you see your MC die invalidates the former. I think it would have left a bigger impact to make Noel holding her the last image (most) players will see.

    Back when first playing it on 360, I thought I did something wrong at one point in the storyline when this ending came. X) Believed there was more endings than one after seeing this (not going to spoil by saying more, since have reading up on it later). A sad conclusion to any FF game I've played, but....if all the games ended well, it would prob be abit...boring,right? Soon gonna play Lightning Returns for the first time (yeah, I'm sure wayyyy behind on that part) and see how XIII's second sequel brings this story onwards.

    • @serahfarron7230
      @serahfarron7230  6 років тому +24

      I think Noel and Serah were intended to be nothing more than close friends, but they look good together and feel good together; this, coupled with the fact that they failed to make Noel's feelings for Yeul completely clear in XIII-2 is probably what lead the developers to sort of throw Noel/Yeul and Snow/Serah in our faces in XIII-3, as if to say "No, you guys got this completely wrong. THIS is what we meant." Personally, Noel and Yeul together never did feel quite right to me, but I love him so much that I have this sort of "If that's what makes you happy" mentality when it comes to Noel lmao

    I know I've probably said this before but I keep coming back to this video every so often because I just can't wrap my head around something. Lightning KNEW exactly what was going to happen AND the effects it would have on the world, when she says she can see everything from Valhalla, she isn't bullshitting. She knew that sending them on this adventure would not only kill Serah, but it would also end the world. had Lightning not sent them out, 90 to 100% of what happens in lightning returns would NOT have happened. Lightning already knew the end result. it kinda makes you wonder if all she wanted was to take the place of a god even if everything dies to get her there, even her sister

    • @almasjabeen6093
      @almasjabeen6093 7 років тому +1

      I want to differ and tell you that Lightning also was gifted with Eyes of Etro but because she was in Valhalla, she is the only one that could see everything in all realms in the past and future. She also could contact any person in any time through dreams. Most likely she already knew, but as a Seeress, she isn't allowed to change her own fate to stop her sister's death.

    • @zemosion1129

      Almas Jabeen a big thing with the Seeresses was that each time they saw a change, it shortened their lifespan. and Lightning was still able to die in the 2nd game so it seems a bit weird that she wouldn't have since she not only saw the things that were changing before Serah and Noel went out but also during and after.

    • @zemosion1129
      @zemosion1129 7 років тому

    Love these games, Part 1 a Final Fantasy story, Part 2 one of the best time travel games ever, Part 3 a Groundhog Day type game. I have some new games coming out in the next couple months, between games I always revisit old games, I think the Final Fantasy XIII series is next. Lastly, am I the only one who thought playing through Part 2 that Noel and Serah belonged together, not Serah and Snow, they had more in common, especially since Snow just disappeared.
