This?

yup.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

IF the original logo was depicting a dying Stella, who chose to die with Noctis because they couldn't be together due to their affiliation to the gods (Mwynn vs Bhunivelze ), it would have indeed been like a Romeo and Juliet story.

I tend to believe Noctis would be with Etro (Mwynn) and Stella with Pulse (Bhunivelze).

Such potential from a FNC point of view.

I really hope they publish a Final Fantasy Versus XIII Story Ultimania at some point.

Everyone dies.

Okay, but did they beat the evil empire/nation in the end?

That was the whole point of the game, right?

I think by the final part in the story there IS no evil empire. It's just the prince vs the usurper.

The "evil empire" seem to just all be pawns.

Given his collaborators' history with time travel plots, it's for the best.

Or maybe the woman we see marrying Noctis is actually the consciousness of the prime timeline's child Luna (at age 10 or so) transferred into the body of the alternate timeline's adult Luna, after aiding her counterpart's suicide to preserve the integrity of the timestream through becoming a paradoxical consciousness to counterbalance the flow of temporal chaos created by the ring's removal from the axis of history.

Deepest lore? Or greatest headache?

Do we know if the Bahamut summon was a 1 time thing at the end of the game or is she acquired before and can be used like the others?

Maybe its a new game plus thing where you can use the summon after the game ends

How could it work with how scripted the fly by looks? How would that look if used anywhere other than Insomnia?

 

[AkirraKrylon]

I think it would be fine. I mean Ramuh was used in Insomnia and we thought he may only come out in the Duscae region. Apparently Leviathan was also summoned in Insomnia for the Ardyn fight but I didn't see it...if those two could work there I don't see why Bahamut couldn't work elsewhere.

 

[Hyro]

People really need to get on Tabata's case on the graphics post-release. Especially the hair. It's still bad.

 

[Gbraga]

Well, both Ramuh and Titan have different attack animations for when you're out of reach. They just have to only use that one for Bahamut for any occasion that isn't the boss battle.

 

[poipoipoi9]

How could it work with how scripted the fly by looks? How would that look if used anywhere other than Insomnia?

I don't see why not. Bahamut just threw a sword, circled around the enemy and then flew up above the enemy. The scene where Bahamut clashed swords directly with Ifrit I doubt will happen, since most enemies wouldn't do extravagant backflips to avoid the swords.

 

[duckroll]

Well I was mostly talking about the fly-by which looked like they ran out of budget and threw in a cheap scaled down Insomnia model to represent scale for the summon. Given how it's a pivotal moment and they couldn't even make that look good, why would they put in extra worth to make it work on other regions of the world if you were to use it?

 

[fluffydelusions]

So was that trailer the "new" info coming today?

 

[Burbeting]

Is there any working link for the ending/final boss? I watched some of it earlier, but with no audio. Couldn't get the link Via Purifico put to work.

I got the final battle footage in its entirety before it got pulled, I got you guys covered it shouldn't take too long.

lol now I understand why they changed the phantom sword's color from clear transparent white to blue...

 

[Slater]

Transparent white? Isn't part of the reason that Noctis vs Stella shot is so iconic because of the contrast between the blue and yellow? Blue was always a big part of there color

My opinion on this has totally changed. Epic as fuck. Looks amazing. No godly angel form that's been done a million times. Just a prince and a usurper waging an epic battle through ruined streets and skies set to amazing music. I'm in.

 

[SkylineRKR]

The leaks confirmed Ardyn as final boss long ago didn't they?

Or was it an obvious guess judged from the prologue?

 

[Toth]

Does Too Much is Never Enough or I Will Be play anywhere in the game?

Can anyone comment on this?

 

[fluffydelusions]

I don't think I saw an answer to this yesterday but how much has actually been streamed apart from the last fight and up to the beginning of chapter 2 before it got shut down on Twitch?

 

[KZXcellent]

Nah, leaks nailed it. Only thing it was wrong about was Ardyn having a second form.

 

[Samimista]

I'd like to know that as well, actually.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Even though i think the music in the final battle is great, its still weak compared to what i think the music for the final battle should have been

 

[SkylineRKR]

He was supposed to become Ifrit or Shiva but that could've been changed to get a more grounded 1 v 1.

I think this works out well, the final battle looks good and not too drawn out.

 

[GringoSuave89]

I expect plenty of gifs of the final scene with Noct and Luna holding the picture with dickbutt photoshopped in. That's still a thing, right?

 

[raven777]

The big blue was from the magic symbol at the back mostly...
The phantom swords itself were mostly clear white with a tint of blue..

even on episode duscae it was like this..

I don't really mind it's design. I think the move is pretty cool. The view of city when it fly over looks really bad like duckroll mentioned... but the design and move is cool.

Bahamut is a waifu no chozen, idk how it makes me feel.

That was my thought. Perhaps it's the player but nothing really happens, it looks really dull.

This isn't Megaflare, no matter what the game says. Megaflare isn't a bunch of swords. Come on man.

 

[varkuriru]

Eh, would have preferred to have the full team battling the final boss doing neat team attacks. Otherwise it looks ok - music is on point tho.

 

[Akainu]

Any Bahamut that doesn't shoot laser beams is not my Bahamut.

 

[Mendrox]

Insomenia looks like shit. Is this PS3 again? D:

Also the whole final battle looks like boring shit? What happened. Even the three Bahamuts in FFX-2 were better than this.

[AlexFlame116]

Is there ANYONE else out there who likes a personal face off between two foes as a final battle besides me? I liked it in KH2 (kind of doesn't count cause Riku), in MGS3 (balee dat), and in Twilight Princess. I liked it here too!
