Just as they're about ta set foot into town... battle time! Against penguins? Who could resist the allure of RAGE BOMBER? Manipulating baddies ta build up limit meters is certainly a thing ta do, especially for 1-1, 2-1, 3-1's ta get their needed uses outta the way quicker.
This is Cosmo Canyon! A town built into cliffsides! Its FF XIII's hometown an he seems ta be going by a fresh new name! You is pumped about being here as well.
Very pumped! An Nanaki seems ta be FF XIII's true name. Well isn't that something?
This here bonfire is holy an said ta have gone out only once, back when something horrifying happened. Which makes it perfect to license the name of for booze, and trinkets, an prolly t-shirts to. This place is starting ta smell like yet another tourist trap >.>;
A room with no people or items or nothing. Whats the point? Well its labeled Nanaki's Room in the menu! If non-characters like Johnny and Zack can have designated homes, so can party members! An its close by random bar ad #5. Wait, 5? Did I miss one somewhere along the way o.o?
The item store here seems ta have another room to it but we cannot pass. What a tease!
Found another photo-op spot! No other reason ta climb this ladder since theres nothing ta find up here.
As promised back when leaving Midgar, FF XIII was only sticking around until he got back home. Farewell friend! ...What the heck Mr Meows? You're a robot why're ya tired lol.
Ohh hey hey hey! Heres the #4 I've been missing! How many more are left and is there gonna be a payoff to all this??
Cosmo Canyon isn't just FF XIII's birthplace, its also where AVALANCHE was born! An by what You's implying he isn't the founder? So what happened to the original guy? And if we're not AVALANCHE anymore whats our new band name o.o?
Mr Meows eats?! Just what in the world is he anyway??
Grandpa Bugenhagen here has What adjusting his thoughts on FF XIII real fast! Turns out he's by far the youngest member of the party by like 4 or 5 years, in human terms anyway!
Through his contraption Bugenhagen can hear the cries of the planet an sure enough an eerie scream can be heard right on cue. He invites What and a couple pals ta come have a closer look at the machine...
But this isn't what he had in mind! Get down from there What!!
Space! Its a heck of a place! Bugenhagens putting on a neat lil show for everyone!
Of course planetarium shows always gotta throw in some education. In this case the old man says the souls of all living things merge to become a Lifestream. Through its Spirit Energy new people an stuff are born.
Spirit Energy does all that and more! Without it, planets will crumble apart into space debris? Er... what're this old guys scientific credentials again?
If what he's saying is true then I'd call this the real crisis for the planet! The party really should get back ta busting Shinra skulls and reactors no?
While resting at the Cosmo Candle, You sheds tears for Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie while declaring AVALANCHE will be reborn. Look goes emo on us. And This while thinking about 5 years ago has something she wants ta ask What but is to afraid to.
FF XIII meanwhile is just being plain angry over his cowardly father!
Bugenhagen wants ta take FF XIII someplace an requests What's help since its supposed ta be super dangerous. Confirming that the team is good ta go, he opens up a long sealed door!
...psyche! Where could the party possibly be going now? And why?
