What, no FFXIII-2 thread? POTENTIAL SPOILERS

Finally... an ending...

Has the ending been confirmed? Last I saw it was just hope for one.

It has been stated that Lightning's is the final piece of DLC (at least story-wise) so unless they intend to make a XIII-3 then it has to be.

We'll see in 4 or so hours, anyway.

I would not mind a 13-3 if it was as well done as 13-2 and about five times longer

Oh heavens no. I think it is mentioned in several holy scriptures all over the globe that when the trinity of unholiness come to pass the end of the world is nigh.
I can't think of anything more unholy than the whole Final Fantasy Fabula Nova Crystallis concept, so please, for old times sake Square-Enix, just no.

I really liked XIII-2 and wouldn't mind a XIII-3.

There was a lot of Valhalla lore and I think getting to explore a place where time stands still and there is a hierarchy of strength where the weak serve the strong provides an interesting premise for a story

PSN update is up. Can't say about XBL

I take back everything i said in my last post.

After getting a 5 star rank on Caius, he transforms into his Chaos Bahamut form, kill that form with a 5 star rank... and you unlock the secret-absolutely final ending.

I am not disappointed.

SEQUEL HOOK, SEQUEL HOOK!

This battle is intense as hell.

This is wrong. Any rank on the Chaos Bahamut battle works. I got a 4 star and then a 1 star (level 10 lol) and then a 5 star and it was all the same.

I'm a little confused by that ending.

 Spoiler

It seems like it was Lightning and Serah that caused the world to merge with Valhalla instead of Noel "killing" Caius, which I would assume explains why he was still alive. Perhaps Lightning was not just Etro's guardian, but instead an actual embodiment. So when Lightning allowed herself to turn to crystal, it was she who removed the Goddess from the world, allowing Valhalla to seep in. This would mean that Serah's death and final wishes were the actual trigger, as it is what drove Lightning's decision. And Caius had planned every step of this. He knew that if Serah sacrificed herself that Lightning would give up, but the only way that Serah could die in that manner would be if her "time" as a seer ran out.

Anyone agree with that analysis?

Edit: Nevermind what I just said to Razmos. There's an extra scene if you get a 5 star ranking after the credits. What a teaser.

Ah. I got a 5 star rank the first time i killed him, so i didn't know there was anything different.

Have you completed Snow's episode yet? i thought it was just a fight against Snow, but i've read people talking about 'the ending of Snow's episode' and how it sets things up further for a sequel.

No, I tried fighting him once and he annihilated me.

I've noticed that Valkyrie Lightning has the ability Uncapped Damage on her Crystarium.. as well as a skill called Unmoveable MAX which i've never heard of.

there's already a skill called Immovable I and II which "Slightly/Moderately reduces chance to have actions interrupted by enemy attacks."
Immovable max has the highest chance (though not guaranteed; and no, I don't know the %)

Wait, was the Lightning I got after that battle different from the Amodar/Lightning battle? (I haven't gotten her in that so I just figured it was an alternative method)

Absolutely, Valkyrie Lightning is a Commando while the original is a ravager.

AH! thank you, i figured it would be something like that.

Don't mean to double post, but i just completed Snow's DLC.
The same dark entity shows up at the end of both Snow's and Lightnings story...

 Spoiler

and she looks exactly like Yeul

, first seen by Serah at the coliseum and then by Lightning in Valhalla after the ending. I wonder what that is about.

I don't think Caius is what he he made himself out to be, nor is Yeul. I mean, I think as much is clear from the combination of the "true" ending and Lightning's ending, considering he survived and Valhalla only merged with Pulse when Lightning turned to crystal.

Caius is probably my new favourite video game villain. He's got so much depth.

Agreed, i really liked Caius. he was just a peach to fight over and over again, to the point where i got sick of seeing him.
