"When you fell in despair, the only light is Hope". Be the name you are named for. Hope
- Lightning: I don't know yet. But I do know we can't lose hope.
- Hope: Hope? There is no hope. Not for l'Cie.
- Lightning: There's you.
- Hope: It's my name, not who I am.
Reference: FFXIII - Chapter 7

The lesson in this scene: Friends will be there for you... but you have to be honest about your weakness first.

Cannot. WAIT!Β Β
Damn...wish I was 10x better at art, because I'm listening to the official evolution of Blinded by Light, "Crimson Blitz", and I'm getting these epic visual scenes of Light layin' on the smackdown on various monsters...sometimes alone, sometime with friends, or with Serah.Β Β Β
Light's shocked wide-eyed expression is...well, I have to chuckle. She obviously didn't expect Hope like THIS.Β Β Β
But does Hope care? Nnnnnope.Β

So, Lightning Returns gives Lightning/Hope further support?
π: 0 β©: 1
aquanut In reply to Alexlayer [2013-11-28 20:55:38 +0000 UTC]
Well, from what I've seen I think it strengthens/expands on the bond that they had in XIII, but anything else is up to interpretation. I don't think there's ever really been any canon support for it, but they do work closely together for the whole game here and are there for each other in key moments of development.

Awesome! I'm glad you're doing LR fanart now. Did you play it or watch videos instead?

aquanut In reply to VirunVIICrest [2013-11-28 11:53:17 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! Watched videos. To be honest I'm probably not going to do any more LR art right now though, since the release here is still three months away and I don't want to spoil myself on everything.

Thanks! Haha, nice. I haven't watched the whole thing, only certain scenes. Not sure if I want to spoil everything for myself, though three months is a long time to wait.

I tried to resist. . . Β but it was just too tempting. Β No way I can sit around twiddling my thumbs waiting when it's already out in another language. Β *sigh* I should just learn Japanese and start buying these games early.

Thanks!
Lightning Returns, from the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy. It just came out in Japan, but it won't be out overseas for another three months.

Ahh Final Fantasy is such a classic series, I definitely recommend trying them at least once; they've got this mix of story and gameplay that always keeps me going once I start them. Though I'm going to do myself a disservice (since I seem to only draw XIII fanart) and not recommend the XIII trilogy as your first Final Fantasy because the gameplay in XIII is weaker than earlier installments. I still enjoyed it (and I thought the sequel corrected all the major problems while introducing new ones in the form of less developed characters), but I wouldn't hold XIII as a representative of the series' gameplay. Try VII or IX instead, they're my favorites gameplay-wise (and IX has my favorite characters outside of XIII).
Haha I actually feel really guilty only drawing XIII fanart when I'm not even that attached to it as a game, but for some reason I really latched onto the characters.

Ah yes, if you're attracted to the graphics then you may like the current games after all, since the XIII series has beautiful detailed art. I can't say the same of the older ones since they're now outdated, though they had great cinematics for their time. Who knows, you may like XIII if you give it a try; a lot of the complaints were from people disappointed that it didn't live up to past installments of the series, but it's still a pretty decent game on its own. It depends a lot on how much patience you have for sitting through a lot of cutscenes and repetitive battles, since the first half of the game is more movie than game and there's a lot of grinding involved (though I went for the platinum trophy so I ground a lot more than I actually needed just to beat the game). The art is definitely pure eye candy though, so if you find it worth playing something just to see that, maybe you'll like it.
I think a large reason I'm attached to the characters is more because of Japanese fanart than their portrayals in the game itself though, haha.
