Lightning Returns FFXIII - Snow confirmed!

So Noel keep fighting to save Serah and Snow becomes a gigolo? Does Serah needs more proof that she has to dump that stupid chocobo hair guy and end with Noel?
 
Wasn't Caius' design based on Kain's?
It's not THAT bad.

lol, this is the most I've ever stuck up for XIII.
 
Or loved.

Look at this guy. Fit for a King.
And he is one!

Agreed - awesome character and one of the best comic-villains in the whole series. Hell, Gilgamesh (and his theme) are practically the only thing some people can remember from FFV.

Is he actually rumoured to be in Lightning Returns or is this just fooling around? :)
 
To be fair the rest of snow's outfits.

All them maintain a type of.. I dunno like Douche motif.

I do not even know how to describe it, that mullet is to perfect.

Me being hopeful since I saw a BIG BRIDGE in the Dead Dunes.

And if this game is going to be bad cheese it needs some GILGAMESH HUMOR.

Ergo. The only good humor the game could offer.

I always found it weird Bartz beat Sephiroth and Vincent in the Japanese fave male popularity poll. Awesome, but strange.
 
What are the chances of LR somehow changing the ending?

Prediction: Lightning takes souls to this new world... which is somehow a reset of the current one and the ending is right back at the end of FFXIII - which was already a happy ending mind you, Toriyama is just dumb.
 
Wrong, because in that case Ashe should be much higher. Nice try though...

A few years after a game releases, it falls into the same category as older games, therefore it isn't fresh anymore. Plus Ashe was not made to be some time travelling stripper, nor did she get her own trilogy.
 
Perfo and Lukky, I know you guys have been waiting for this! Next week's Jump confirms that Snow will be returning in LRFFXIII! Snow is the governor of the City of Pleasure, and he continues to harbor regrets of not being able to save Serah. Apparently his new design spots a black suit like those worn by a host in Japan. Gigolo-Snow confirmed?!

I didn't play the back half of FF13 or any of FF13-2, but it didn't strike me that Snow had the evenness of character or frankly the intellectual depth I would hope from someone getting into politics. Wait, is the City of Pleasure a city or a brothel?
 
So...how does a black suit, messy hair, and some place translated as 'City of Pleasure' make him a gigolo? The Owner of Serendipity did not strike me as a gigolo. I would wait for official art and descriptions before jumping to conclusions but I am trying to be sane.
 
GUYS! Before jumping off the fucking deep end, please notice TC failed to supply a source and please notice that there is nothing online about this anywhere else. I'm Goddamn, you'd think people are just looking for things to hate on at this point...

Or ends back at FFXIII, but then XIII-2 happens again and we get some bullshit Lightning monologue about how fate can't be changed, time loops everything happens again yadda yadda yadda.

Are you serious? Please don't tell me this is a serious post...
 
Final part of FFXIII-2:
Did mog also die at the end? Felt so bad for him...

My friend... Stop.

And Lightning has to sacrifice herself at the end to become the next Etro, in order to maintain this new reality.

Ending scene shows all of the cast sending her corpse floating down a river to take her to Valhalla.

Agreed he always had that aura with his design. Especially when he kept the beanie on.
 
What are you talking about have you forgotten Chocolina.

An annoying Chocobo turned human by deluded Goddess Etro is insignificant to the "Hero of the Void".

I may buy something however...

And Lightning has to sacrifice herself at the end to become the next Etro, in order to maintain this new reality.

It's already been confirmed that Lightning is Etro's successor. She essentially has taken her place as Fal'cie.

Well, there aren't any details about the location, and Jump previews are useless one page stuff advertisements, but it's almost certainly a city... possibly a city of brothels, but a city nonetheless! As far as politics go, the more accurate term would be viceroy or governor-general, which implies he was put in the position by a higher power to look after the city. I... just didn't figure that anyone would be asking these hard hitting questions though, so the details are lacking. I apologize! :D
 
Are you serious? Please don't tell me this is a serious post...

Well, the only news I can find is "Rumors from GAF", and that's from an hour ago. Nothing else.

Unless, of course, this is one of those GAF things where we are supposed to take uncited info, extremely outlandish info at that, as truth. Still not used to that.

That sounds fairly stupid so... it's probably going to happen.

It's news from a Japanese magazine scan - scans can't be posted here.
 
So...how does a black suit, messy hair, and some place translated as 'City of Pleasure' make him a gigolo? The Owner of Serendipity did not strike me as a gigolo. I would wait for official art and descriptions before jumping to conclusions but I am trying to be sane.

The initial descriptions from Japanese fans with Jump said the suit had a host-feel to it. If you don't know, hosts are like Japanese pretty boys who wait on you in a club or bar. It's a bit like a maid cafe in a sense but with guys in suits being affectionate-ish to customers.

Meet the 'gigolos' of Japan:

A few things:
1) Read the Terms of Service for NeoGAF.
2) Red username means something special.
3) duckroll's an Asian language monster, so he can surf the seas of inexplicable characters with great ease. If he's describing a scan, you can pretty much consider him accurate.

He looks like a japanese host in a japanese game in a place called "City of Pleasure".

Just connect the dots.

Well, chalk it up to my ignorance of GAF then and my misplaced optimism that "The Lightning Saga" had already hit rock bottom story wise. I guess you can always fall further.

Okay. A pimp then.

You are serious
 
I don't understand, is this game taking place in an alternate paradox?

The correct timeline had Snow on his bike riding off with Serah.
 
Who the fuck let Snow be a governor? This is the guy with no plan because he's a 'hero.'

Oh, "of pleasure" eh? Snow is so overcome by grief he becomes a pimp. Makes perfect sense.
