Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Opening Cinematic
- Thread starter That Dude John
- Start date
Unfortunately.
But Serah conected the dots after the openinc cinema of XIII-2, and it at least somewhat made sense within the story. This though...I'm completely lost.
I'll still get it, but right now it just looks confusing.

So what I'm getting at is that it still won't be over.
ikr
It's really cute, and it got this mischievous vibe to it that totally put moe shivers down me spine.
Snow? Yes we do... it's explained in one of the side Novellas (found that out via one of the FF wiki sites). Too bad we never got it but the summary explained it well enough.

LOL that's fucking awesome. Wish that was in game....
A freaking Cacutar Fal'Cie sounds so freaking cute!
:lol
Esura pls, stop spinning my posts into this moe shit.
She does have this suspicious voice of someone that sounds cute but is devious inside though. And the voice is pretty spot on in this case.

The XIII trilogy may end, but it goes without saying that the cycle will continue. Eventually we'll get comments like those during our years of "the World of the Versus Epic". Can't wait.

After being immersed in the visceral Lightning hatred that passes for conversation in most FF13-themed threads, I have decided that I am going to buy this day one and enjoy it like I know I will. Screw the haters.
Not when XV has actual fans that want the game. Also with no Toriyama at the helm but Lord Nomura.
All I care about is the games music. I loved the Oerba theme in XIII-2 that shit was really good. Let not forget the Hysteria Crux music "Time and Space". The story in these games are like soap operas it is the story the writer decided to tell at that instance and then yur on to a new one.And why isn't this on Wii U as well. Put the map on the wiipad call it a day.
:lol

I wonder who is voicing Lumina, did they say who?
I can't help it. Loving the cute is in my veins now.
Lol. Come on... For just awhile, can a XIII thread include divergent opinions without deteriorating to this? Stop seeing every piece of XIII news in the context of what people who don't agree with you will think of it.
Anyway, the opening scene was alright. The very beginning gave me a VII vibe with the understated music and the atmosphere of the city. I found the beat of the dialogue kind of off. Snow and Lightning have pretty clumsy interaction, as usual, and the latter's voice acting unfortunately doesn't help. I actually thought Lumina was the best part of the scene, surprisingly.
C'est fini. Finally. I'm pretty sure I'm going to enjoy this entry.

Haha look up XIII threads before it got released, it's a mirror. And Nomura, like anyone else, isn't flawless. Hehe

I can't wait for Ali Hillis to voice Stella in XV.

Don't even joke about that. lol
Thanks for the refresher! Well yep. This game has turned around for me. It's a rerun of leftover assets with some new, but it'll be enjoyable finally seeing this trilogy end for good (please end for good).
Considering that Nomura is working on XV, well, we haven't seen anything yet in terms of convolution.
That would be nice. Chances of it is slim though. I don't think Square has ever repeated the same voice actors for important roles in different FFs before.
There is this gif of a bunch of adorable Moogles taking Lightning's enhanced bosoms out for a test drive.
Magius pls.

Also I saw a screen shot of Light using a moogle to distract enemies.

JP VA for Aerith, Lightning is Maaya.
JP VA for Hope Estheim and Ace of Type 0 is the same.
John Dimaggio voices GILGAMESH, Wakka.
JP VA for Cloud Strife, Kurasame Susaya is the same.
>:U
Also expect JYB and Yuri Lowenthal to be in very predictable roles. And again a lack of Cam Clarke.
Hopefully it would actually be a good, happy ending for Lightning. I remember during pre-release stuff for FFXIII-2 Toriyama said Lightning was supposed to have a happy ending and we got trolled hard...
I mean, the FFXIII world and it's people has hit rock bottom...can only go up from here.

She's pretty good as Lady Palutena.
Part of that is voice direction as well.
Funny, I was just about to mention her role as Presa. While I don't think that Xillia had a better script in any way than any of the XIII games, I DO think a character like Presa is a good fit for Hillis' voice.
Something about her voice screams seductive antagonist. It just, does.
Ok, this is going to be awesome! I wish she could take a Moogle into battle and the Moogle can dress up too and you can name it.
Ah, it seems they do recycle for JP FFs though.
I'm not really counting voicing GILGAMESH as a repeat though. He probably did it for free considering how many voiced lines he actually has.

Doubt it. John is pretty good. Dude has range.
Lightning aside, I'm more fond of her voice when she is voicing characters like Palutena or Liara T'soni personally. But her Presa voice is hot though, reminded me of Laura Bailey's FMA Lust.
I agree. That was a jab at Gilgamesh, not at John though.
I'm kinda disappointed at this reaction now....

I swear I said this in another thread before and got laughed out...
But I agree. Stella looks like a Laura Bailey character.

It looks pretty but I've got no idea what I just saw. I haven't played the FFXIII series at all yet but I was thinking of checking out LR as I quite like the gameplay that I've seen, but watching this reminds me that it will probably ultimately just piss me off.

No way. FF CG is one of the things to look forward to.
JP Vanille is Tina/Terra in Dissidia.

Thy should just make CG movies.
Holy shit, I've never seen this before...
This is awesome! Fuck, I hope Snow goes back to his old self halfway through in LR cause old Snow is straight up G.

I keep reminding myself that I need to play that game one of these days.
I wouldn't doubt it. Although, SE for some reason seems to have the biggest problem with voice direction in almost every localization they had a major hand in as of late (excluding FFXII). Bad script, bad delivery, and super awkward mid-sentence pauses rule the day in SE localizations. At worst, we have cases like Yuna in Dissidia which is so frustrating to listen to because of frequent mid-sentence pauses where no English speaking human being would ever talk like that.
She just sounds so goofy when trying to do super serious roles.
It's more deja vu than anything else. In case point...
