Let me tell you some of the things that happen in the game

Everyone stops aging so people live for 500 years(except for one person and nobody can explain why for that one side quest)

Odin is reincarnated as a Chocobo

You will undertake a quest where you must help a girl find out why her father and grand father both faked their own deaths

Fang is a leader of bandits now

Sazh is living in a crashed airship with his comatose son and you must collect parts of Dahj's soul which requires you to beat the living poo poo out of an Afro catacuar for one of the fragments

Vanille is living in a church trying to keep the chaos at bay with new magical secret powers she never had before.

Caius Ballad is still alive

Noel is Spiderman now, you will fight him

Snow is a Patron of a city which means he's a king. He will run away from you like a little bitch and lock himself in his room. You must talk to a stage director who thinks it's a good idea to intentionally blow up the stage almost killing all of his employees so you can enter the palace and there you must fight snow who then turns into a C'ieth but then turns back because you show him Serah's necklace.

Nothing from any of the previous two games have any bearing on this game's story at all.

I did it I defeated all of the Main Quests in Lightning Returns

a few of the "The Last of" Monsters already started to pop up. I'm still waiting for the final Earth Eater and Chocobo eaters to appear though, they take a long rear end time to kill. However I have that physical damage immune outfit on.

I have 9 days left until the end of the world.

The bonus dungeon has the Last Ofs of all the enemies, so if you're going for the eradication thing you can wait until then if you want.

I just started. This game is pretty epic so far. I like the setting and swapping schemata or whatever in combat is pretty cool. I don't like how they changed the stagger gauge from something clearly readable to something less obvious, but that's no big deal. The side quests are cool too. Time limit seems fairly flexible but I've only just started the time limited areas so I will probably do some reading on how to maximize my time efficiency (not going to follow a guide for the whole game because that's boring and dumb).

when i did the final boss fight a bug resulted in lightning screaming GOD IS DEAD on an infinite loop until the end of the fight

I started on normal. Easy sounded too easy. And it's not like 13 or 13-2 were hard.

Easy is better for your first play through because you can bring more stuff over to NG+

Easy and hard are the only difficulties where you're rewarded more for playing.

Technicality. She was in the game a lot and was even on the cover of 2. Yes she "left" but wasn't even gone for that long. Especially if you add in the time travel paradox shenanigans.
