Much love to all of you. Thanks for another great new video for me to add to my Playlist. Guess its time to go back and rewatch the other ones now. I'm Colby by the way.
I voice Lightning! It’s been such a fun time getting to voice her in these parodies, thank you for all your support on these videos and keep supporting RABToons! 🍟
Lightning:”… You’re not Hope, you’re a fake!” Possessed Hope: “Oh crud, what gave it away?” Lightning: “You told me not to kill Snow, the real Hope would *never* do that!” Hope’s Soul: “The very idea!”
Jokes aside, Hope WAS Hope the whole time in the game, right? Before the last day, Hope gets worried about what will happen to his soul and encourages Lightning to keep going no matter what happens to him. Bhunevelzia only took over his de-aged body on the final day because he... needed a vessel to destroy the planet with?
Well... I liked that game... But I think it would have been better if It's weren't a ff13 game. Just a stand alone. But same as ff13. Good game, Bad ff. I didn't like ff13-2 though.
@@chrisdaughen5257It's clearer in the japanese dub. Basically, Bhunivelze's and Hope's relation in the original is a distorted, fucked up version of the relation between God and Jesus (God and Jesus are the same technically, but you get the point) Bhunivelze re-awakened when the world started falling to Chaos. But when the world started to end, he felt the presence of the souls of the dead, their Hearts, disturbing the world. So he needed a vessel, human eyes to see through. He chose Hope probably because of his relation to Lightning, who is suitable as the Savior of Souls Bhunivelze "descended" unto Hope to start to understand human desires, and to have a voice that humans could understand (again in the japanese version, Hope's dub is the same for Bhunivelze). But in doing so he also shared some of Hope's personality, or became one with it entirely (further implied by japanese in-battle text, by the fact he was unable to feel emotions until then, and by the cutscene after the final battle) Him mingling with Hope's soul was the reason he lost, by the way
Hey, Dr. Gyshall's VA, as well as the VA for the stagehand and Sentry II here, thanks for having me on as always! BTW, the low poly dog killed that Chocobo.
And i cant believe you all are still so closed up on your own bubble to understand that the xiii trilogy is a very good frachise, specially xiii-2 and lightning returns
I'm just so delighted someone actually played Lightning Returns and understood it enough to parody it. :') Love this fuckin' game, it's so underrated. The voice casting in this video is pretty spot on too!
It’s crazy to think that this game is now ten years old, this was the end of a big trilogy and here we are now currently in the middle of another trilogy that’s a remake of a beloved game. Regardless of how you feel on the FF7 remake’s story, people still look on it with high praise and appreciate the original FF7 for its existence. But when people look back in FF13, it’s often seen as a footnote to how bad of a place the franchise was. Lightning is seen a punching bag and the black sheep of the bunch. You know a games reputation is so bad, they still have yet to rerelease them on modern consoles. Hell, even some of the other weaker FF games are accessible to the public.
literaly nobody is even tring to compare FF7 remake with FF13, nobody. One is an incredible good game with some minor controversies, the other is a complete trash of a game, trash of a story and two sequels nobody asked for.
You say that nobody compares 7 with 13 and you are comparing them by throwing shit at 13 just because you don't like it. Honestly the only bad thing about 13 was its gameplay because the story itself is quite well done and is even better than what they have done with 7, which is not a masterpiece in narrative either.
The journey is over, despite it's flaws this was the trilogy that got me into Final Fantasy so it has a very special place in my heart and now so does the parody, great job. Edit:Gotta love how God was providing Lightning with a lot of questionable outfits.
Well, part of me wants to play the whole trilogy now. But another part of me is certain that RABtoons has done a better job at explaining the story than the actual games😂
Oh god.....Don't 😂. I want to forget they existed. I remember I bought the DLC for 1 and was so pissed they revealed it in the first 5 minutes of 13 - 2. I got so bored with Returns I skipped the final two days and still beat it.... First try.
Yeah you need to look into the lore quite a bit before playing the game, or you probably won't understand it at all. But once you do that, the story becomes very good. Philosophically stimulating plot. However, if you do play it, please DO NOT play it in English. The casting for that dub is horrible, and English VAs didn't really know how to do their job 13 years ago because the market for them was way smaller.
I've watched every RABtoons parody and other videos breaking down the story of the Final Fantasy games...and I still don't have a clue what's going on. 😅
That's normal. It's a weird part of the narrative. Lightning doesn't act any differently despite separating from her emotions. But at the same time, LR needs her to be more expressive, from being sad about potentially killing Snow, to being more comedic during the wackier moments.
You know the one thing I love about your stuff you use the backgrounds from the games and then add your artist touch making it more fun I enjoy these so much especially the ones of the final fantasy series to be having me laughing too hard thank you for all the hard work y'all put into this🤗
@@RABtoonsIt would actually be kind of appropriate for Lightning to go against the Warrior of Light. In the FF13-based games (Fabula Nova Crystallis), the tale of the crystals is essentially turned on its head, with the party aligning themselves with chaos (the human heart is fueled by chaos from the unseen realm behind Etro's Gate) and fighting against the crystals (many of the fal'cie are powered by Crystals, with those Crystals being fragments of the crystals of Pulse and Lindzei, who were in turn created by Bhuni). I would not blame anyone for failing to take that away from their playthrough of the FF13 trilogy because it's quite obtuse and often contrived. But anyway... a dedicated servant of the crystals like the Warrior of Light would be in this sense an opposite mirror of Lightning.
Been awhile since I've watch your parodies, but I've finally caught up now. I can't believe it's been like 6 years since I've started watching your FFIAN videos and your content is still amazing. Keep up the great work, RABs!
@@daenerystargaryen6302 its about an interviewer looking for the characters on of FFXIII and asking them how has life treating them after the new world was created and about lightning's wereabouts i think, i think serah and snow finally married, the gang of bodhum manage to come back, noel and yeul are together, etc
Lightning: Finally Let’s kill snow Hope: Do you really want the game to be over in 5 minutes? Lightning: Yes 1:12 Honestly, that would be a very nice bad ending if the programmers allowed you to fight him that early! The one time Lightning actually killed Snow ever! 17:40
It could have been like the ending where you win the opening fight of Devil May Cry 5 and they acknowledge you're really good at the game, and encourage you to play the rest of it.
I like how Lightning is quite sincere in trying to save people. If it were 5,000 years ago, she would have tried to ignore it like Kratos did. Being sealed for 5,000 years will change her mind
Great video, I had a good laugh. Really enjoyed that game and the other 2 back a while ago when I last played them. The most surprising thing I learned from the video though was there is a post game novel! :O
3:37 That may be true but consider if you will, Majora's Mask and Lighting Returns both that _and_ the necessity to find a number to advance the plot. The only difference aside from the number of digits, is that in Lighting Returns, the number is randomized so you can't use a guide or the internet. I ragequit because I couldn't find it.
The Biggest difference with Lightning Returns in comparison to Majorca’s Mask is how it Fumbles the Whole End of the World Narrative so Much! Majora’s Masks has A LOT more character moments on each day you visit them. And sadly Lightning Returns never goes that far!
As someone who first Final Fantasy was XIII and only played XIII-2 because my younger brother bought it, I was looking forward to video since I never bother to buy this Lighting Return. So thank you for making this and good job.
Vanille: As the only one who can hear the dead, I need to set these souls to rest by destroying them with the Soul Song! Lightning: Vanille! Did you actually ASK the dead what they want? Cid Raines (don't ask) told me otherwise. Vanille: Let me che-- oh god they DO want to live! Lightning: That was fast. Vanille: B-but this is the only way for me to atone for what I did in the first game! Lightning: You and Fang became the crystal pillar for that. It's not relevant anymore. Let it go!
Thank you Rabtoons for giving this games parody and damn awesome soundtrack at the end! I love all FF13 games even though I'm probably the only one on this and the next planet.
You are not alone, this trilogy is one of my favorite games ever. And I know more people who like it, specially people that plays it for the first time in the recent years.
Finally got to watch this one. As always it was hilarious and best of all, the world got a glimpse of Fat Serah. It's not an official FF Animated Parody without one of those LOL.
@@fredy2041 Esthar and After make absolutly no sense. Time Travel is a Bad idea. But the rest of the game IS a great love story and great war story. Squall is a very good character and the bgu had a lot to offer. I would have loved to see Cid Kramer becoming a villain of sort (after all he is training child to become mercenary and IS pretty shroud). Idea was a great villain and her knight Seifer was a great parallel to what Squall could became if he was really into military... But eh. I prefer thé Shinra to Sephiroth as a villain^^
Hey all, voice of Cid Raines and Snow's Guard here! I'm a huge fan of the FFXIII trilogy, so my thanks to Rab for the opportunity to have a chance to play in this world before its conclusion! Now, with all that said... Wanna buy some weed?
20:20 Technically, there was still a part of Hope inside Hope. There's some kind of Japanese distinction between heart (characteristics specific to your personality) and soul (something that makes you fundamentally yourself, the entity experiencing things). And I believe one of those was still in Hope. Also something about Bhuni being able to see people's souls but not their hearts, because the heart is derived from the chaos from the unseen realm whereas Bhuni has dominion over the crystals. So, basically, Hope wasn't totally Bhuni. He was like Bhuni's soul with Hope's heart in Hope's body... or something.
All this heart and soul stuff gives me real Kingdom Hearts vibes. Given the growing connections between this series and Kingdom Hearts (Yozora is obviously meant to resemble the earlier incarnation of Noctis when he was still the protagonist of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, not Final Fantasy XV, for example), I actually shouldn't be surprised. Square Enix is going to find a way to resurrect this franchise within a franchise somehow.
@@miro.georgiev97Something that's a little neat about Fabula Nova Crystallis (FF13-based games) is how we have essentilly switched roles from the previous Final Fantasies. Instead of aligning ourselves with the crystals, chaos is associated to the human heart, and our party fights the the Fal'cie beings who are often powered by crystals. It's a subtle but interesting change.
Yeah, the Japanese conception of the whole soul/body/spirit/identity thing is different, something I became aware of because of the fan discussions around _Madoka Magicka._ In particular how it was a *big deal* that the magical girls' items of power were, in fact, their phylacteries.
I won’t be able to watch this one for a LONG time as I’m playing them all one by one, but I just wanted to drop this comment real quick and say how happy I am that these are being made. The series has brought me a lot of joy.
Personally, I played FF13 and FF13-2 getting 100% in both games IIRC. But for Lightning Returns I did about 40% of the game and then put it on the back burner... eventually, after 7 years of not getting back to it, I accepted I wouldn't ever get back to it and just watched someone else's playthrough. Good luck accomplishing playing them though, if you'd prefer to.
I am one of the few chosen ones who plantinum'd the entire 13 trilogy and do not regret it one single bit. (except maybe the long gui farming, that was CRAZY)
I still love FFX111 series still till this day it had its issues like all FF games but still it was a fun ride and it was nice to play a female character and the soundtrack will forever bop for me thanks Rabtoons❤
[This game’s ending explained] Squidward: Attention everyone! Final Fantasy 13 characters are migrating to a new world! Public (Us): … Squidward: OUR WORLD!!! Public (Us): (Panics) 😨😱?!?!?

Also something about Bhuni being able to see people's souls but not their hearts, because the heart is derived from the chaos from the unseen realm whereas Bhuni has dominion over the crystals.
So, basically, Hope wasn't totally Bhuni. He was like Bhuni's soul with Hope's heart in Hope's body... or something.
All this heart and soul stuff gives me real Kingdom Hearts vibes. Given the growing connections between this series and Kingdom Hearts (Yozora is obviously meant to resemble the earlier incarnation of Noctis when he was still the protagonist of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, not Final Fantasy XV, for example), I actually shouldn't be surprised. Square Enix is going to find a way to resurrect this franchise within a franchise somehow.
@@miro.georgiev97Something that's a little neat about Fabula Nova Crystallis (FF13-based games) is how we have essentilly switched roles from the previous Final Fantasies.
Instead of aligning ourselves with the crystals, chaos is associated to the human heart, and our party fights the the Fal'cie beings who are often powered by crystals.
It's a subtle but interesting change.
Can i say WHAAAAAT THEEEEE FUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKK!
I wish the game made that a bit more clear but thanks for clearing it up!
Yeah, the Japanese conception of the whole soul/body/spirit/identity thing is different, something I became aware of because of the fan discussions around _Madoka Magicka._ In particular how it was a *big deal* that the magical girls' items of power were, in fact, their phylacteries.
It's been 10 years. I miss lightning :(
22:00 HOLY CRAP! IS THAT A FREAKING TRUEBLADE SEEKER/JUST A PANCAKE REFERENCE?!
Mega destruction darkness ball of destruction and darkness!😂
And knuckles
I love this game. The open ended way you could play it made it very replayable.
I won’t be able to watch this one for a LONG time as I’m playing them all one by one, but I just wanted to drop this comment real quick and say how happy I am that these are being made. The series has brought me a lot of joy.
Personally, I played FF13 and FF13-2 getting 100% in both games IIRC. But for Lightning Returns I did about 40% of the game and then put it on the back burner... eventually, after 7 years of not getting back to it, I accepted I wouldn't ever get back to it and just watched someone else's playthrough.
Good luck accomplishing playing them though, if you'd prefer to.
See you later when you've finished it! We'll be here.
I'm not here to fight you! Tough shit you're gonna! Light just stabs, LOL, loved this.
I didn't expect the Vanille flashback.
That sent me.🤣
21:58 Lawyer, come quick, you can defend dragon ball, SEGA, AND just a pancake!
21:58-22:09
*THERE'S* the Kamehameha that I came here for!!
I am one of the few chosen ones who plantinum'd the entire 13 trilogy and do not regret it one single bit.
(except maybe the long gui farming, that was CRAZY)
Well, that and farming the 100 souls seeds to get the Elixir in LR
And Aeronite hunting😅
laughed my ass off at the moogle outfit because I wore it so much in the game, it was so good (skill wise) 😂😂
Ghostly howling…. 👻 Type-0… howling continues continuously into Howling…. 👻
I will never get over how cute the chocobos are.
13:45 I pictured Squall yelling "NOO!"
Now I want to play ff13 😭
I still love FFX111 series still till this day it had its issues like all FF games but still it was a fun ride and it was nice to play a female character and the soundtrack will forever bop for me thanks Rabtoons❤
Hahah The sentences on Bhunivelze’s crown! lol
Well he is god, he would have the truth written on his body.
@@RABtoons Touché
This was even better than I imagined!!! 😆😆😆😆 Thank y’all so much Rabtoons for wrapping up the FFXIII trilogy perfectly! 😍😍
Our pleasure!
Honestly I'd imagine Lightning probably would take the moogle up on that weed. :^)
get em squall!!! where is your damn remake indeed
Thanks, Rabtoons! 🤩
Any time!
1:49 I know an 'Always Sunny' reference when I hear it 😂
Nah, nono uh uh I just cannot believe it!!!!!? Is this truly FF XIII Lightning Returns in a nutshell by RabtlToons?!
These videos never miss 😂
And I feel like this game out of the trilogy had the most material for jokes
[This game’s ending explained]
Squidward: Attention everyone! Final Fantasy 13 characters are migrating to a new world!
Public (Us): …
Squidward: OUR WORLD!!!
Public (Us): (Panics) 😨😱?!?!?
The director REALLY wanted his Final Fantasy fanfiction dreams to come true.
Yeeesh.
Well that was fun! Thanks for your hard work to everyone involved in this.
Love it great animation parody,
I love Final Fantasy Lightning Returns ❤ (my favorite from trilogy of XIII) Great work
9:35 😂❤
Can’t wait for this feel like I’m one of the few who loved lightning returns cannot wait to see what hilarity is in store for this video
Toxicxeternity and your videos has made me like Lighting. Never a big fan of the game but after you I gave it another chance. Still didn't like it but loved adding your stuff into while I played!
I fucking love this game, it's not only my favorite in the franchise but it is my life favorite game ❤
This might have made more sense than the actual game??? Another excellent installment in Squall and WOL go day drinking. 😌
I hope there's a joke/comment in here about how all of a sudden Lightning now has jiggle physics.
They upgraded her assets.
When all hope was lost, he returned!
Wait which Hope
Why couldn’t we have a party in this game: 7:09 8:28 18:20 19:01 19:36
Just wanna say "ouroburos festival" is one of the best tracks in the game. Thank me later
And thus ends Lightning's adventure..... so anyways wanna buy some Weed? 😉
I got this game when it came out but never got very far in it cause… reasons. At least now I know how it wrapped up. Thanks RABtoons! 😘
Hope you enjoy it!
Squall Mcfly and Dr WOL will return in
Back to the seventh Fantasy
Great name
And lightning ended up in France.....
Bhunivelze got defeated by a joke, and then by a parody Kamehameha.
Geez, Lightning did a crappy job trying to save the entire series in this parody.
I would love to see a ff4 that after years in a nutshell.
That would be nice. Mysterious girl battle music is one of my favorite of the series.
Final Fantasy VIII DOES NEED A REMAKE!
NEED MOAR EMO SQUALL FALLING IN LOVE!
P.S. Mr. RABtoons you did a beautiful job as always
Many KEKs on Cozy end
Thank you mi fren
But we got that little remaster. Isn't that good enough? /j
Do Kingdom hearts serie's next😁
Oh doomgod, please yes!
Won't happen, because Disney's gonna sue them 😢
