Damn...he looks just like that asshole in Lost.
I'm surprised we haven't gotten a Lightning dating sim yet.

Most of it was in the Fragments Before prequel novel, and in the fragment list (probably one of the dumb quiz ones).Wait what? was that last bit in an XIII-2 fragment? x_x I don't remember that, lol.
Figures of Note: Rygdea
Captain Rygdea is a former Cocoon soldier. Following the catastrophe, he played a central role in running the provisional government.
Rygdea crushed the budding resurgence of the former administration by revealing the Sanctum's manipulation by the fal'Cie, and their subsequent slaughter of innocent civilians during the Purge.
He lent his support to the Academy scientists who sought to promote 'human independence,' and encouraged the shift in authority from the government to this new institute.
Figures of Note: Bartholomew Estheim
Bartholomew Estheim was originally an economist for a Sanctum-affiliated institute. Following the catastrophe, the newly formed provisional government employed him as a financial advisor, where he was instrumental in the founding of the Academy.
He is the father of Hope Estheim, the director of the New Cocoon Project.
I don't watch TV outside of news, some new anime, and reruns/Comedy Network/Teletoon so I have noooo idea, lol.Damn...he looks just like that asshole in Lost.
They put most of the important stuff and worldbuilding stuff in the Datalog/Fragments Area yet again. I really dislike that. At least for FFXII and FFVIII's "datalogs", they ended up making it supplemental information as opposed to crucial worldbuilding info like it is in FF13.
Not really. Stuff is boring. I played Love Plus with a translation patch. Never again.
Most of it was in the Fragments Before prequel novel, and in the fragment list (probably one of the dumb quiz ones).
Rygdea is an adult and was just a head swap so he didn't get a lot of emphasis in the story, so he ended up being kind of a footnote in the end. Hope's father funded and supported the Academy, so if you wanted to, discounting how Hope probably worked his way through school through motivation and maybe was kind of smart, you could say that he got his current position via nepotism. Maybe.
Fake Edit: Here

It is to me. Especially since it relates to characters from the previous games, and it would have been an excellent way to introduce the Academy at the beginning of the game.Is it really so crucial to know who founded the Academy?
World building stuff
From the interview it seems like Serah will be back too. Damn it Toriyama, I can tolerate Lightning but why do you insist on Serah, and even have her 'trying to save everyone'?
I find it funny that probably Lightning is the last one waking up from her crystal. Hope, Sazh and everyone else probably kept living for centuries in Novus Partus. Then one day Light wakes up... lol. Plus, what are the chances for she to be considered a god by common people? Afterall she sit centuries in Etro's throne in crystal form. Sure some fanatic will exist in this new world.
Lightning and Hope to have the classic Snake and Otacon or Jenson and Pritchard bromance.Hope is confirmed to return. Hell be sending messages to Lightning through wireless communication.
I read this headline on IGN and it made me so happy.
"Lighting Returns will be the last of the Final Fantasy XIII saga"
Reading articles on IGN... :lol
Why are SE pushing Lightning so much exactly?
Something wrong with reading IGN?

Didn't the paradox that allowed her to live occur during the Purge? Wouldn't it have had to be resolved in that time period then?
They didn't resolve all of the paradoxes. There's still the one that took Lightning away in the first place.
One would expect different countries to have sprung up even in the first century. All we hear is that some people still choose to live on Cocoon (I think?) and that shadow group that was trying to ruin Academia and Hope. Why not form their own government? Why didn't the people who didn't want to move down to Pulse form their own country?
They have nothing else?
Why are SE pushing Lightning so much exactly?
they need to bulk up her image before the inevitable Noctis backlash.
It doesn't sound like Serah has returned. I don't think that's supposed to be taken so literally.
Backlash? You're implying they give a shit what we think.
Not attractive enough.
Get out.
I hope we get this one!
Sazh is certainly the best character out of the playables. There's no question about that, and his English voice actor did an extremely good job with him in making his lines as earnest and sincere as possible.
Rygdea, though, looks like he stepped outta FF12. Plus he gets stuff done likeLike a boss.confronting and killing Cid, exposing the crap the Sanctum did, and had a hand in starting up Academia with Hope's father.
Why couldn't he be playable?
All the coolest characters in 13 were unplayable.

Cid just ain't Cid unless he's some kind of mechanic/scientist.
And he definitely should not be a pretty boy, XIII dropped the ball.
I agree. XIII's Cid was weird, and I prefer when he's similar to Cid in XI, building airships or something and growing a beard. But if you think about it, Cocoon didn't really have any independent, inventor, genius mechanics. They were subservient to the fal'cie. Maybe that's what threw them off this time? They probably could have fit a character like that in somewhere, but traditional Cid would fit much better in XIII-2.(kind of what Hope becomes in the end)

XIII had a Cid? I can't remember him or anyone else who wasn't a player character. Was that guy with the long hair that everyone's talking about from XIII? I don't remember him either.
