Yeah I found her funny too until I remembered that she's suppose to a chocobo chic that hangs around in Sazh's hair..... and Daij's birthday present.
Fuck you Toriyama.

It was fine until Sazh x Chocolina happened.
Then nothing was ever going to be fine again.

OK yeah, I actually forgot about this.
I just... argh.
Like, I enjoyed XIII-2, and I'm actually enjoying LR now I'm playing it on easy
because wtf is that difficulty level!?!
I feel like everything we bought into with XIII just got trashed in favour of this Yeul/Time Travel nonsense.... so much potential wasted.
NVM. Time to move on soon XD

You had to remind us...
I may be the flood, but someone else opened the flood gates.
But that doesn't explain anything... It's all Toriyama's fault for toying with the laws of the universe!
I wish I was lying but "paradoxes" and "Goddess" are the only explanation you get for, well, everything in that game.
I think the Goddess explanation worked for me at first and I was pretty angry at Etro at the end of XIII-2. Now that some time has passed I can see that all of Etro's flaws were pretty convenient and I only blame the people behind the story instead of a fictional entity.

Somebody said on here, and I agree, that they should have just continued on with the story from XIII. Building a new life on Gran Pulse. There's so much scope in that world with the Fal'cie etc... but... hey ho.
I usually don't take seriously videogame stories but I couldn't help but feel upset about how Etro could be so stupid. I admit that in retrospect it's pretty funny.
And "Chaos". Yeah... not better. Being kind of a fan of the trilogy I still can't say with confidence I know exactly what went on in XIII-2.

Gran Pulse was easily the best part of XIII, I found it pretty interesting.

Chapter 11 is where the game's pacing and narrative fell off a cliff, though. *shrug* Game overall had poor structure. Just like its development phase.
It's amazing, though, coming out that I think it's the best game out of the three.

I vote for Meg Ryan.
She tries too hard in both languages and it's actually more annoying because she reminds me of someone that I knew in high school who wasn't very nice.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.... wait.
This is a joke right? Or fanfriction that some nutcase thought off right? Please tell me it's not canon.
Please.

Okay. D:
I thought I actually missed something for a minute there. Because I at least tried to read up on everything in the FNC to some extent.

Well, I don't remember this happening. So unless someone proves me otherwise, I take the stance that it didn't happen. It'd be completely stupid, considering how Sazh treats her in the XIII-2 DLC, but then again with the Lightning trilogy you never know.
I of course didn't play Lightning Returns.....

I don't remember anything in LR, even during Sazh's sidequest because she seemed to care more about Dajh at that point.
Unless I interpreted things wrong, I dunno.

I'm kind of amazed at how hyped I am to play FFX tomorrow. I don't think I've been this excited to play a game in a loooooooong time.

Are you serious? Blitzball... of all the stupid mini games ever to be invented this one has to be the worst by far.
Dark Schala
Eloquent Princess
That's why you play Sphere Break instead.
But Blitzball is one of my favorite FF minigames...
I kind of feel Blitzball is more fun than any minigame in FF9. Vammo Alla Flamenco can be the best song ever in the series but as long as Chocobo Hot and Cold is an awful mess so it will remain.
And Tetra Master is a poor man's Triple Triad.

Blitzball with Chocolina must happen
That's too cruel. There's no need for gratuitous violence on her.

Over in the X|X-2 remaster thread, there was a mention of the pseudo-canonical Ultimania fact that X-2 is connected to VII, with Shinra being the origin of the Shinra Corporation.
It got me thinking, which other pseudo-canonical story connections are there between FF games? Let's put aside the obvious sequels (Compilation of VII, X series, XIII series)
Final Fantasy IX has a version of Final Fantasy I's Gulug Volcano... does this make the two connected, storywise? I know IX has a lot of easter eggs from previous games, but this strikes me as one of the few revisitied locations.
Do you buy the theory that FFVIII is set a future version of the world in FFIII? I like this piece of fanon more than the implausible Squall is Dead!
XII and Tactics are in the same world as Vagrant Story, yes? What about those Tactics Advance games?
Does anyone else prefer to think that the same Gilgamesh is literally traversing through FF worlds? When he shows up mid-battle in VIII, his line "where is the dimensional interval" implies to us that he is the same character travelling amongst the dimensions. It's definitely different than when, say Ifrit or Mog re-appear, pretty much as new characters.
Guys..... Canon. Continuity. Yessssss....

Only correction there is that Vagrant Story isn't tied to Final Fantasy Ivalice. Matsuno himself cleared that up on twitter, though I can't be arsed to look for the specific tweet.
And yeah, Gilgamesh is all but confirmed to be the same Gilgamesh in every game thanks to wandering through the void. If anything, his appearance in Dissidia would be the final confirmation needed, since Gilgamesh clearly remembers meeting Bartz, Squall, Zidane and Vaan (the only other people to meet him in person) but they don't remember him (and for the life of me I can't find the cutscene that shows it for the non-5 characters).

Even though parts of LR's ending (not the epilogue, the ending) called back to FF7's ending a little bit, I see some folks saying "oh, it's the precursor to FF10"! or something, which is kinda funny to me. Gilgamesh, though, is always gonna be a constant to me. It's just a funny bit that he's traveling to several FF worlds since he seems to recall Buttz and crew.
I dunno. I like seeing the games as they are and as-is.
OH BY THE WAY. Because Jeff Gerstmann tweeted that an SD copy of The Spirits Within was $2.99 on PSN, it got me thinking of the movie.
And then I remembered how CNN had a discussion about Aki Ross in general, and a discussion of how she made Maxim's Hot 100 (and the cover for the magazine) that one time? I ended up digging the latter piece up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xGAh3E-14Y.
LOL. "It's Computer-Generated!"

I thought Square's biggest mistake was FF14 1.0.
Corvo would say that it was Krile, but what does he know.

She's a Mary Sue, in a nutshell. I actually never noticed it until he pointed it out, but she really really is.
