sazh is an extremely epic character

anyway, ff13 is actually pretty okay before you get to gran pulse, it's just that is where you really get to see the best part of the game. i know it has become a meme to act like 13 is the worst game ever because it is linear, but so is ff10 and i don't see people complain about that as much.

actually people act like 13 is bad because everything about it is bad and incredibly boring. I'm pretty certain anyone who was able to get through the 20+ hour tutorial, let alone liked it would be entertained by paint drying

ff10 is bad too, but let's not pretend that 13 isn't king of the poo poo mountain

The entire point of that puzzle was to get a fruit that was up high in a tree.
And you have a person in your party who can fly.
and another person who can summon things that can fly

and another person who can throw chakrams

and like 3 people who can make tiny blades of wind appear

is it true that she turns out to be the grown up version of sazh's fro bird?

yea, sazh falls into a time portal or some poo poo and the bird gets lost in the time stream and wishes it wasnt so weak and could help people so god made her into chocolina to help serah

All I want to know is why that Azure Horizon guy thought the story was so amazing

given that he is an unapologetic rapist, its probably because he is not well in the head

ff13-2 owns because it comes up with half a dozen way cooler ideas for a videogame then what you actually play, but makes them bad endings

To be fair, the good ending is amazing as well, so it kind of balances it out. 13-2 had a lot of good things about it, like some cool environments and bosses, good music, Liam O'Brien hamming it up as hard as he can, chronobind, and every ending being a joke. Unfortunately, none of that matters in the face of easily the worst gameplay in the trilogy and possibly the whole series, and definitely the worst protagonist, whose only redeeming value is she suddenly falls over dead with no foreshadowing or fanfare in the good ending.

no man it gets forshadowed, you just need to pay attention to some cutscenes you'll probably forget about and/or read the in-game wikipedia

it happening to someone else is a main plot point of the game its not exactly a tiny detail

it's easy to forget that serah is a seer, something that's only mentioned like twice before the ending outside of the wikipedia, when the game makes a big loving deal about how every other seer you meet is another version of yuel that looks the exact same

they made kind of a deal out of serah being a seer. like how every vision she got meant she was closer to dying.
