Maybe Fang freaked out because she realized there was a chance that Vanille would turn a C'ieth if they went through with their plans, but the way it played out....was bad.

I like to think Fang got pissed off with all the flip-flopping on what they should do. Or just all the dumb words coming out of everyone's mouth- maybe it's contagious.

At least "So, you haven't made up your mind yet" was a line with very Troy Baker delivery. Snow's awful, but Troy Baker makes some of the pain go away.

I thought that they were inside some kind of Pulse ship thing which was inside Eden which is at the center of Cocoon, so how did they get into an airship and suddenly end up outside the thing? Was that green thing they flew into some kind of teleporter? And how would they know it was a teleporter? Huh? What?

The green thing was a "gate" (i.e. teleporter), and Fang knew what it was because she and Vanille are from Pulse from the time of the war everyone was talking about earlier.

The Fang thing makes some sense in light of the Raines fight. She trusted him, he tried to kill them, then everyone agreed he was doing the right thing. I'd question my loyalties too.

I guess the thing about Fang is that for the most part she doesn't give two shits about Cocoon, all she cares about is her survival and that of Vanille. Everyone else can and will die if it's necessary to achieve that goal.

To be fair in FF7 and 6 Alex basically is a castle/knight combo, and in FF9 he is literally a castle that turns into a knight and fights a dragon. It's silly as hell but there is plenty of precedent.

It's weird because Type-0, a game that is in the same universe as FF13, has a completely different Alexander that's basically a gently caress-off castle with a giant End of the World Laser. It's so powerful that a high class L'Cie can't even summon it without major juice.

You know, for being the main character, Lightning is really seeming less like the hero and more like the one everyone turns to for advice instead of growing herself. And something about her reminds me of Tellah. Oooh wait, is she gonna be Ragnarok?

Oh hey, Alexander! One of my favourite Eidolons, and not just because that happens to be my name. I mean, he's a giant mechanical castle/golem! Pretty hard to mess that up. Wait... Dear God, what happened to Alexander? I... uh...  Nidoking posted:Alraune is actually another name for the mandrake plant, as I learned from a completely unrelated LP.

How does a wall even fight during battle? I mean, having the punchy variant around seems useful enough, but how does the wall work there?

I think the thing that bothers me the most about Alexander is that there is a way more logical place for Hope to get him, way back in Palumpolum, you know when he was having an emotion breakdown that didn't straight the gently caress out of nowhere. I guess they didn't want him to have a summon that early for some reason. This portion of game just feels like they went, "gently caress half the cast doesn't have summons yet, quick make everyone have emotion breakdowns for increasingly contrived reasons."

Also amusing how the most emotional of the group (Snow) is the only one so far that didn't summon his Eidolon through emotional breakdown. Also Alexander is a cool dude and the only thing that upsets me about him is that you have to use Hope as a party leader to use him. Which is never.

I find it so discordant that the squishy mage gets a giant gently caress off wall as his summon. Probably someone at SE thought it would cover a weakness, but really guys? Why would you put the squishy mage as leader in a game where the leader going down is a game over? Speaking of discordant, damnit FP; seeing this game with Neptunia mods would just ruin the prettiness of the setting!

I think the reason Alexander comes off as so hilarious is that all the other summons are super dynamic. Alexander is obviously a slow, lumbering type, but then you'd at least expect a rocket or something, not a literally immobile wall. Here's my suggestion for a much better Alexander Gestalt Mode:
