I subbed you on youtube a long time ago and remembered you put your deviantart account in one of the comments on your "Fall Into Your Sunlight" vid. I was bored so I figured I'd see the art you have and decided to follow you. We may not have the same ships, but it's still Type-0 art. Sorry for the long reply.

Lunakat879. It was my aunt's account before it was mine. That's why the name is so different. I don't have any vids uploaded for 2 reasons. 1.)I don't know HOW to edit videos. 2.) I don't have the equipment needed to edit the videos. lol
I actually don't know that much since I don't know a word of Japanese. I got my info from fanfiction and wikipedia mostly. I only know the the main characters(Kurasame included), their personalities, and a bit of the storyline.
...Man, I need to learn how to NOT give super long explanations. lol

Those reasons are not enough ;') Just start; it may be hard in the beginning, but with practice comes experience. For the equipment: you can start with Windows Movie Maker, it's an easy program ^^ YouTube and Google are your help in tutorials if you need these ;w; Editing videos is fun :3

Really? From fanfiction? I understand why you ship what you ship then. Me and my tumblr friends, who have also played the game multiple times, don't even go on FFnet, because stories here are mostly OOC, and pairings are forced for they were popular from the beginning.

And don't you worry, I like to give long explanations myself C:

lol and how exactly do I get Windows Movie maker? It seems fun to edit videos, but it also seems like a pain in the butt, very time consuming, and frustrating from what I've read in the descriptions.

...that almost sounded like a scolding. Was it? I'm on fanfiction.net all the time. When I look at the reviews on the type-0 stories, many of them say the characters were IC. I dunno if your right or they're right, seeing as how I haven't played it. I want to really, really bad.

I guess every Windows OC has it? If not - you can download it everywhere C:
Well, if you enjoy what you do, it wouldn't be time consuming.

No, it isn't scolding, of course ;o People who review stories also don't know much about the game. Well, most of them. They've watched the opening, the ending and some in-game cutscenes - and that's all they need to call themselves fans.
I have finished the game four times, read both novels, and know the translations of most of the cutscenes/dialogs, so I think I can say I adore this game to bits? It just makes me sad how people seem to love it only for its tragic ending, while they don't even know HOW Class Zero died and more important - how they LIVED.

That is true.

...I fit that criteria...am I a fan? I believe so since I did research about it and still do. I know of other characters, I just don't know them very well.

Holy Crap! I think it's safe to say that. I know how they died and a little of how they lived. I'm 100% certain that you DEFINETLY do.

Am I considered a fan to you or not? Or am I just a wannabe fan. lol

I remember there was time on YouTube, when everyone was making videos of Type-0's ending, because it was so sad but beautiful. They said they love this game, but after a while this "love" has died down, and they came back to the usual FFXIII stuff.
If you're willing to know more about the story, events, characters and all this, then I can say you're a fan.

Honestly, it takes A LOT of time to understand the whole story of Type-0. I suggest if you can't play the game, you can read the short summary of the novels. They take place in the previous cycle of events, but the characters' behaviour is the same, because through all their lives they still hold the memories and feelings of the previous ones. If you know what I mean; it's also a part of the complicated story ^^' But everything is explained in the novels and even more. Need a link? C:

I just finished reading the summary of the first novel. I can see why you ship JackxDeuce. It's fairly obvious.

Now Ace is all alone! I know you ship him with Seven, but there isn't any evidence of that in the novel sumaries. I haven't (read as: can't) play the game, so I have no proof what-so-ever. So now what? I don't want him to be all by himself.

The JackxDeuce moment in the novel was cute though.

seven--lights In reply to dragons8298 [2013-01-24 19:58:31 +0000 UTC]

Oh, it's not necessary to ship him with someone C: There's no proof of him liking any girl in the game or in the novels. But it's because of his character, he might be hiding his feelings, so we can't say for sure if he loves anyone. That's why there is no canon relationship for Ace.
There are some cute things from Seven's side though. Like, during lessons characters say something (it's probably what they're thinking about), and Seven's line is "How does Ace take care of his cards?". She's also worried about the monster Ace and his team faced in the beginning of the game. And in the ending, she tells him about his song, like she listened to him sing before. And in the first trailers they have scenes together. And before the ending, while speaking to Arecia they continue each other's lines.
Little things like these are what make me adore this hidden relationship. You may not agree with me, but Type-0 isn't really focused on love. They all are friends in the first place, a big family. And all characters are different, so even though Trey and Cater have a lot of scenes together, there hardly are any fans of 34, because they have a friendly relationship. Fans are fans for shipping everything, but sometimes it's important to differ friendship from something more.

And yup! I love their chapter the most out of all novels ;w; It's the most heartfelt, how Jack showed Deuce how to live and smile when life seemed hopeless to her, and how they've grown from close friends, protecting each other.

Haha, who's the one with the long descriptions now, huh? xD
P.S. You can check my tumblr if you want to know about Type-0 more, btw. I post a lot of things here, I'm not too active on dA anymore :\

Yes, it is! :-P I'll find someone! As long as it's not an OC, of course. I declare that Ace is not allowed to be single (well, not be shipped with someone) by the end of the game. lol

Little things are the things that count.

I'm not sure which chapter I like the most.... I like them all. If I HAD to choose, I'd probably say the same as you. That or the epilouge (spellcheck neeeded)

lol.
What's your username on tumbler? I don't have an account there so I don't really know how to get around, but I'll give it my best shot. :-D

Btw, what's the ship name for JackxDeuce? I do believe I'm converted now. That scene was enough.

Oh, here's my tumblr: xcrystaltear.tumblr.com
I usually upload my own stuff here, I don't reblog much. There are a lot of gifs, edits or graphics, some with translations.

And it's J2 :3 Simply JayTwo is enough in Type-0 world :'D But if I were to give them a name, it would be Juice :') Because it's a mix of their Japanese names.
ジャック + デュース = ジュース (Jakku+Dyuusu=Juusu)

dragons8298 In reply to seven--lights [2013-01-24 21:59:59 +0000 UTC]

Most of them are either badly made or Mary-Sues (Or if they're a guy OC, Merry Johns. I came up with that term. Do you like it? lol).

Ships are actually kinda fun to make. However, in FFXIII, I'm forever torn between SnowxSerah and NoelxSerah. For everyone else (but Sazh, he's more of a father figure.)though I have a ship:FangxLightning and HopexVanille (My top video game OTP).

I visited and discovered that my laptop also hates those gif things, not just DeviantART. It takes forever to load on both and gets all laggy.

J2 is easy enough to remember.


I didn't realize until I looked at your tumbler that you were Russian. I never would've guessed. You're english is REALLY good...possibly better than mine, and I live in the U.S. I saw it on your profile, but I assumed, since your english was so good, that you were an immigrant or something.

So sorry for the late reply D:

Hmm, a male Mary Sue is called Marty Stu, no? :\
I still don't like any OCs, especially when the writers pair them up with the main characters >.<

That's right, the fandom becomes more interesting when you have a favourite ship in it C:
I'm for NoelxSerah though. Not that I hate SnowxSerah, I shipped them before FFXIII-2 came out. But Nerah makes more sense to me :3
Um... Well, I don't want to tell you anything about HopexVanille ^^' I might offend you, because it's one of the few pairings I really can't stand. And I don't like shipping wars, we all have our opinions and tastes C:

Ohh, that's not good. My laptop lags sometimes, too, but it still can handle tumblr.

Woah o.o Thank you so much, it's an honour to recieve such words from a person who actually speaks English, while I'm just learning it ;o

It's fine.

Is it? I've heard several different names for male Mary Sues. That's the reason I made up my own term for it.
Agreed on both. lol

Yep
Yeah, I tend to lean to NoelxSerah. The only reason I still ship SnowxSerah is because they are engaged.
lol That's fine. I hate shipping wars almost as much as I hate religous wars.

Welp, mine can't. lol Oh well, I'm stubborn. :-D

You're welcome. I meant every word.

Maybe you can start learning Spanish more seriously? These days it's quite honorable to know not only your native language but at least one more. Not to mention studying something new is fun C: And your self-esteem would rise, isn't it great xD
