The way Snow crystallized the chandelier was designed the same way Cocoon was crystallized in FFXIII. I love the subtlety and hidden concepts.
its neither subtle or hidden lol, anyone who has played for more than an hour will notice that
Plus, that was ice powers. Eventually it will melt.
Cocoon is crystal.
If thats considered subtle then writing is cancelled
@@nanaki5308 Oh c'mon you're so annoying with your humor... He meant that it was nice to have all the cocoon crashing thing as a wink for the old.
Not subtle ridding between lines are you.
Well it's in logo of XIII
Well one things for sure...they make some gorgeous cinematics.
I don't know
But lightning look like a south Korean actress
I love the design of snow's ice. How can they make it so beautifully cool, wow that's why i love final fantasy
I don't understand why they won't port this to the ps4/xbox1
Well, 1. Because it's probably the worst video game trilogy ever made, and 2. They probably will as part of the 30th anniversary celebration.
SanjiBaratie i don't get it either, either way they'll make money off it but they take ppl's feed back to serious
They did for Xbox one
This is the worst Final Fantasy 13 game ever made...but the others make sense.
@@ItsCreaidan If you are not careful she can ruin your franchise.
“Angels of death and Demons, you are attracting the wrong crowd Snow” Lightning.... he is just attracting you.... she’s you, you are you, you both are.... you....
Lol agreed
10 years and i back in here. time so fast dude
Went from being enemies of society, to time traveling, now to angels and demons. This series went all over the place!
You know that ice weapon snow had would have been a excellent drop item.
3:48 the best couple we never had
Victor Hugo agreed :(
Dumb with sharp/quick-witted, you bet we didnt had them.
I wish there was a balanced love triangle between Serah , Snow, and Lightning. Would have add much more weight to this fight. Missed potential and opportunity.
nah not really
God yeah... :(( Ever since the first game I liked them together better. Their dynamic was ao interesting.
While i do understand the criticisms of regarding FF13 series and its deviation from the usual JRPG formula that FF series is known for. I do not understand the hate everyone seems to have for the actual story. During my xbox 360 days, i only bought used games and these titles are probably one of the few non-multiplayer i bought at retail. and that was after playing it for 3 hours from gamefly. Loved the series storytelling from beginning to end.
Can't remember any other game that made me cry so much for kicks. It's no Shakespeare, that's true and it does have plot holes littered around the series, but it gets the job done regardless. With each character having their own sense of purpose that moves you while your playing. I've never seen such a cliche premise (save the princess/save the world) told in such a complex mind-fuck kind of way.
May not be for everyone, especially for hardcore FF fanboys, but definitely not a trash series.
Ron Gascon 13 is one of my favorite FF series. I don’t get either way there is much for it. I loved this one and XV.
13 is trash stfu
It's garbage, plain and simple.
I liked the ff13 series as well I've been a final fantasy fan since I was a kid this game ain't so bad but hey that my opinion. I Ain changing my mind I like ff15 too but one of my favorite final fantasy games would be 7 .
The two main reasons against FF13 I got so far were either:
1. The gameplay is too linear.
2. ITS SHIT, RAGH FF RUINED CHILDHOOD RUINED DIE SQUARE ENIX AND EVERYONE WHO LIKES FF13!!!!
I can see why pople dislike the linear gameplay of FFXIII-I but the others seem to be unreasonable haters who don't like female protagonists ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
13 days... FF13... GET IT!!
I finally got it watching this video
Sir Kel yea we have 13 days for saving the world
you have to admit they did do it subtlely XD
14 days....
If you play your cards right.
released in 2013
God I wish the trilogy had a remaster for ps4 and PS5. Because back then it was running in 720p. Which isn't bad but I'd wish they remastered it. They can improve so much from these games. I've seen ps3 remasters to ps4 and I have to say there is so much improvement. They can even make more grass in the original game. Make the game more alive. And update the character models to be more sharper and detailed.
I want this so badly to happen, I miss playing the trilogy. I need a remaster now!!
amazing cutscenes, really detailed. I may not play the game, I am debating whether I should or shouldn't, but it sure has gorgeous cutscenes.
This is my FAVORITE FFXIII game out of the other two!
This scene took me all the way back to my childhood where heroes are always the champions, saving the days, and saving the lives of the innocents! An epic journey! And this is the perfect scene!
I LOVE this scene and everything about it! It gives off a heroic atmosphere as the epic music plays, and Lightning and my FAVORITE outfit, the Equilibrium (I also created my own Equilibrium! That outfit is the best outfit I've ever seen! She is like a hero that came straight out of a comic book!)) that truly suits her powers, fought the Anubys enemies with sheer will and speed faster than the eyes can see!
My FAVORITE part: 2:35 - 2:59
"The Legends have told of her coming...
Banisher of Darkness.
Bringer of Light.
Redeemer of Souls.
She come at the End of Days to guide our souls to Salvation."
She is a CHAMPION.
Her strength, FEARED by all who sees it.
Her speed, FASTER than the eye can see.
And in every step she takes, evil TREMBLES before her.
And as the End of Days DRAWS NEAR, only SHE can save them ALL.
She is a CHAMPION.
She is LIGHTNING.
I love her so much. it's 2018 and I still playing that game ⚘
❤❤❤❤ love this comment
@@vanillagglI killed aeronite yesterday
I can't wait to play this! Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 have been my favourite Final Fantasy games so far!
You generalize that people don't like the FFXIII series and yet there are more likes than dislikes on this video and people still buy it. Seriously just because you don't like doesn't mean everybody else does, the world doesn't revolve around you or your opinions.
Well said.
Thank you🤗
Thank you Naoto pfp comment 7 years ago. We will cherish your comment
This user name... seems befitting someone who would say ff13 was good.
What are dislikes?
I cannot see the dislike
Lightning and that new FF14 guy are awesome. Love how they teleport and burst trough enemies
Snow went a long way from resistance fighter.
It has been centuries since the fall of Cacoon.
The only thing I understood from the video is that Lightning looks good in shades.
1:20 this bunch of dancing people looks familiar like i have already seen before and wait that throne too! and wait is there a parade or something going on?! Yep it is a tribute to FFVIII :) xD (just guessing)
WhatTheGyx Sorceress Edea's parade in Galbadia, I remember.
I honestly don't understand the hate for the 13 trilogy. Yeah the combat and other game mechanics weren't the best but it's story is what I fell in love with more. Seriously underrated games.
I think they didn't like the story.
The combat, bosses, music and characters are what made me love it. Just a culmination of all of those make it a fun experience every time
The combat mechanics are actually the best from the whole franchise, given that most of the recent FF games have straight up stolen the ATB gimmick.
Yep, it's all true, 13-2 was way to confusing, and yes, a lot of people including myself, loved Lightning.
the first thing i would say to him is "How'd you'd get so hot?!?"
Well he was always handsome he just finally stop doing stupid stuff to his hair.
Ever since this game came out, I'm still waiting for it to have a movie, like the FFVII, damn Snow is the most awesome character in the FF series.
nah, noctis lucis caelum is much cooler then him
@@aldoghazali1375 yeah noctis the coolest one
Also. T H E Hardest boss I ever faced.
Like bro.
I didn't even go to other places i just immediately go and find snow if I'm ready.
Get some good gear, accept some side quests, finish them side quests, go find snow and Fight him.
And bro.........
I'm spamming "rapid fire" (it's a fire spell) and he's still almost dead.
The battle system was not that different from other Final Fantasies after 4(excluding X-2). The only difference was that you got to chose more than one attack when your ATB gauge filled up.
FFXIII sold 6.71 million copies making it Square-Enix's 4th best selling game of all time. That sure soumds like a success to me. Also none of the FFVII prequels or sequels even got close to 6 million copies sold. Which makes FFXIII more successful than the FFVII prequels and sequels. From these numbers it sure seems like whatever they were doing worked.
It can be sell a thousand million units because of fans hype
But the expectation of this XIII looks downgrades from its predessecors
I'm not a fan of VII, I still stick with V as overall best FF game
At least VII averagely ranked on top 3 based on all reviewers
Where was your millions trilogy goes to?
Asadul Usud I’m surprised you expect someone to have the same thoughts and opinions expressed 6 years ago. But I’ll bite, FFV Advanced and FFXIII have the same critic rating on metacritic, so I’m sure you can agree, who cares what “all reviewers” think. XIII isn’t even my favorite FF game, it’s VI if you were wondering, I just don’t think it’s as bad as people make it out to be.
@@HardcoreTentacleRape
I'm also surprise that you coming back here again after 6 years.
I honestly don't expect anything
I'm just wondering to your reviews
Doesn't you see how you try to put VII and XIII on the same class?
I don't see XIII has a capability to reach on that level..
Maybe it's not a bad game but I don't think that trilogy is good enough to compare to the other strong FF series...
Asadul Usud I mean it’s all just personal preference, it’s okay to not like FFXIII. I personally like FFXIII because I had fun playing it, particularly the later part of the game where it opens up. Would I say it’s on the same level as VII? Probably not, but it’s been too long since I played both. All I know is, I had fun playing both games and like them for different reasons. I can’t speak for XIII as a whole trilogy though since I played like an hour of Lighting Returns lol. XIII-2 was okay, but I don’t think I liked it as much as XIII.
@@HardcoreTentacleRape
That's true about that opens up...
I'm just not enjoy it anymore but I don't hate this series...(maybe a bit)
To me XIII was almost fine to play and almost masterpiece but when 2 and Returns came out it make me lost the first feels that I have with XIII.
XIII ruins itself..
So..I don't blame the gamers for what they did
That's so called RPG justice...
That's why this trilogy was seen on the last stairs by some hardcore FF gamers
I love how she has the best weapon in the game already, but it broke.
Snow said Lumina must be a demon. Yeah that is right. Lightning is a sexy demon
Fiona Heartilly lumina, not lightning
Justin Conrad lumina is the reflection of lightning. Read about it on wikia
Play the game and you’ll find out what Lumina is, all I can say is she’s not demon
She looks like Sarah
@@angeldeleon5812 That would explain why she looks snd sounds like Serah for.
Memories of when I bought this for my birthday.
Have you played the others in the series?
Lightning is love lol
I just finished the FFXIII trilogy last month, despite its flaws, I really enjoyed the journey and the ending was satisfying.
Could you tell me why Snow is like this (kinda evil) in lightning returns? I haven't play the game but I always wanted to know why snow wasn't with Serah or worried for her since he always loved her (?)
@@renn9331 is it okay for you to get spoiled with the game?
@@ravenpendragon6532 yes c: its ok ! i really want to know
@@renn9331 at the ending of FFXIII-2 Serah died and so the Goddess, Etro. Because of that people became immortal but not immune to sickness or if got killed. Snow being alive for 500 years breaks him and stored Chaos to protect his people. The bad guy act is more like a facade because he really feels guilty of Serah's deatg
@@ravenpendragon6532 oh i see, thanks for explaining to me ^-^ ! I wonder if Serah and Snow could be together in the new world at the end, I hope they could.
"if I have to fight the savior then I will"
**leaves**
@gamespot Hi, I just noticed "Watch the opening cinematic to the third and final story ARCH of Final Fantasy XIII". I think it's supposed to be 'arc'. Anyway, thanks for the upload.
Es uno de mis personajes favoritos ligthing
Just noticed that snow used sovereign fist at the beginning
To understand what is truly going on, you do have to play the other two. I've played and beaten both, so I have a great idea of how this has come to be. I'm super excited, and you all should be too. If my hunch is correct, this has the potential to be one of the greatest(if not THE greatest FF storyline ever). If you don't know what happened in the last games, i'll tell you if you want.
Tell me, please
agreed this story had the best ending that led up from xiii and xiii-2
I wish to see her meet Noctis
I imagine the storyline will eventually make sense and reveal itself over time. . . I hope.
And basically the third game is my favorite one... interesting.
It never ceases to amaze me that Lightning; the woman who has no regard for her own life and at this point is just going throug the motions; is one of the Top 3 most powerful Final Fantasy protagonists to date.
I miss this game 😥😭
beautiful strongest fictional female character in the entire universe better, beautiful and stronger than wonder woman
able to kill by himself
eh.. I liked her in the first game but she was awful in the following two.. also *herself
Maria Bastos how so
vibha jain no....just no
Rip engrish
vibha jain the distinct different between fiction of US(marvell dc) and japanese is the character built...US implies us as normal human with ego,darkside,emotion,etc...while japanese is almost always IDEALISTIC..which is not bad...everybody loves an ideal hero/heroine..it gave us HOPE...literally...
too bad this is like the only cinematic cutscene in the entire game. RIP my expectations
ewioooooooow really bro????i dont wanna finish it now
Khalil Garrison lmao no there's always the final cutscenes
Well I mean, it is a game lol
Actually there's another one (final cut-scene). Besides that, how is your expectation tainted? Previous games include the same amount of cut-scenes; this one is no different.
Let's get down to business, to defeat the Huns The original game had at least five pre rendered cutscenes. I can list a couple off the top of my head. Opening, fireworks festival, serah’s capture, the groups branding, arrival on pulse, pulse vs cocoon carnival play, sazh flying the airship, ending
Lumina changes everything into freakin darkness
make this a movie already !!!
To this day snow is my favorite final fantasy character.
Snow reminds me of Leon for some reason
Probs coz of same voice actor
Cant wait for HOPE RETURNS: FFXIII ..... next year
It originally was, but ARR was a major improvement. Also it already came out.
looks awesome can't wait to play 13/3
After this comes out can someone make a video explaining ff13 and what the story is actually about because its confusing and I played both games.
I finished only the the first 13 and i jave a question feel free to spoil me why snow is fighting lightning?
The first FF13 was good. I didn't think the second one was that great compared to the first one. And yes, people cared about Lightning.
Lightning is my favorite final fantasy female and Lumina is my second.....so I guess Lighting managed to grab both top spots
what is this part on about?
So cool!!!
Listened to the commentary and saw what was going on...I understand quite a bit...
I'm officially lost when it comes to this story. I thought Snow and Lighting was on the same team? I mean I'm sure once I begin to play the game it will all make sense at some point why the trust was lost everything went bat shit crazy. Hopefully Caius Ballad will make it, make sense and all will be right with the world.
Yes so much confusing and different story.... From modern society, valkyries, to new age of Goddes of Death.😭
This actually looks good.
Oh nvm, I just re-read what you had written, but yeah that's how it is for most things if not everything. There's always going to be things people dislike.
Beautiful
Super cool.
How are you so sure?
Who play in 2018..!!
Make it 2019 now!!
2020!
No idea whats goin on, but looks cool
guys, this game is about a different dimension or something or so i heard. i don't think you don't need to play previous games to know this one.
The first part reminded me of the intro of FFVII. But shittttttt this game looks graphically beautiful!
So is snow bad or good?
WOW! First UA-cam comment chain/discussion that both says sorry to each other.
Final Fantasy VII had 4 full games, 1 mobile extra, 1 mobile game based on a mini-game, 2 anime OVAs, 1 movie, 1 extended cut movie and 3 novellas.
beautiful
She does look good in shades.
It gets less linear in chapter 11. Once you get their you honestly spend more time in Chapter 11 doing the side quest then you do the prior chapters put together.
This is almost like a new game the story of the past games doesn't even matter here, maybe the character but they have changed so much they aren't even the same from the other games, hope it doesn't suck like FXIII
I played the first two and I'm still lost on this lol
The storyline in the XIII series is simply convoluted for the sake of being convoluted...
Angels of death...and demons? Your attracting the wrong crowd, Snow.
I'm not at all sure.
Final Fantasy games, particularly recent ones tend to be a little on the convoluted side.
FF XIII and FFXIII-2 were both convoluted. FFXIII - Lightning Returns is a continuation of the FFXIII saga. So I'm presuming that it will be convoluted.
Could be wrong. It could be an incredibly simple easy to follow plot. But I'll bank my ego on this one.
I think this looks amazing and I hate final fantasy but this woah looks great
The first one...not so much but the second one improved vastly on the gameplay imo. If only they could pay as much attention to the writing and characters than they do with their CGI for this series.
xbox series x|s jogos
final fantasy xiii lightning returns
Why is lightning using cloud omnislash
How could someone choose Serah instead Lightning?!
I actually will enjoy this
Am just I will say if Lumina was beauty?
She looks good in that leather outfit
so now that snow is finally looking badass (as much as its possible for him ) we do not play as him... makes sense.
Can someone please give a answer why people didn’t think 13?
Did you still like the first two?
So how the fuck does this tie in with how in 13-2 they spent forever time warping, I imagine they'd come to this time, even.
Snow is a fucking beast
i watched only the cut scenes of the first game and decided to at least take a peek of this trailer. i just wanna say that snow totally become a real badass in this game so he can now manipulate fire and ice at the same time however he want, idk about lightning i heard so much about hate rumors of her from ff fans. still cloud still the best for me just saying.
confused about who's the best girl, lightning, or Aerith. probably lightning
I think they need to increase their accuracy.
Wait...What's going on now?
From what I've read, some of the original characters have been corrupted by chaos, and can't think straight. Two of them being Snow, and Noel. Everyone in the FF13 world cannot age or reproduce. I think 500 years of that would mess with some people's heads.
I only played the first one so this confuses me greatly...is snow evil now? Why?...and why is lightning's sister evil and have a different name? THIS WHOLE THING HURTS MY HEAD! (I played some of the 2nd one also...but snow and Sarah seemed NOT evil in that one so why are they evil in this one!? MY HEAD)
Chroma Skelefox 2 words. Go Home
They became like Super Sayans... but I want to play it anyway..
This game could benefit heavily from being remade on a new console with tech that would allow the world and combat to be expanded. I feel as if the series was too heavily hindered by its generation. The first game was divided into three discs, leaving the open areas to the final disc and having a resulting sense of linearity. And this game was simply trying do too much at once. A reboot would do the series justice.
Only on XBOX 360 cause in PS3 it's only 1 disc
@@La-hora-del-terror Yea I've played both but I remember the third disc beginning on Gran Pulse. So the game only opens up on the final disc, limiting the whole game. Imagine the amount of quests and enemies of the FF13 trilogy but in the massive empty world of FF15.
@@sethleonard9158 i play and beat XIII and XIII-2, i know what you're talking.
But i only said the thing of the 3 DVDs is only in the 360 version
1. FFXIII sold enough for a sequel.
2. Square Enix wanted to expand Lightning's character.
3. FF13 was a pretty controversial game, and SE wanted to make up for it. Did you really think SE was going to end 13 being as controversial as it was?
They brought in Nasus from LoL!!
