There is hope in FFXIII-2

[sharrakor]

Did you guys catch the intended pun? Tee-hee. Also, this is a rumor plus theory plus news plus discussion, I don't know what tags I should use, so I'll leave it to the moderators.

Hi there! I was known before as starchoir and I posted that The Horizon fic around here, some months back. And I couldn't help but come back to this lovely comm of this beloved

I love that fic. |D And I love this theory (especially the third one >3), especially since in the first game, they kept emphasizing that time wasn't on their sides and all. And now maybe they have too much time on their sides due to this eternal life madness...

And Hope and Lightning live happily ever after. :D ♥

[sharrakor]

I hooope (haha, I've been using this word so much *-*) they are immortal or he at least become her age with the crazy time warp, heehee~. So will see some fanservice!

[sharrakor]

YES, RIGHT?

[meowkitty7]

wha!? yea I read all that too and it's funny cause i was thinking along the same lines as you were with this theory with the whole time passing and what not in this new dimension she's been thrown into

HELL YEAH!

[sharrakor]

I agree with you, like, a lot. I think Hope's fan base is big enough for us to have him back all badass like; that, and as the youngest member of the original FFXIII party, he have the greatest possibility of growth and character development, as we know after playing the game. Because Snow will always be the hero, Serah said she wanted to become a teacher for kids, Sazh is a pilot, Vanille and Fang are in need of rescue, and Hope is the only one besides Lightning who have this uncertain future full of possibilities.

And in my experience with Final Fantasy games, the long-haired guy is always the villain. I can count at least three just now: Sephiroth, Seymour Guado, Kuja.

you are sooo right! >3 *throws a tantrum* SE!! crazy Hope fanbase will have your ass if you don't have Hope in this game at the very least! (and I'm not even talking about the international fanbase! The local one right over there in Japan >XD)

you know you gotta point about that. Maybe he will be a villiany villian after all?! (from what i see of purple haired, tall, dark, and mysterious, he's kinda hawt >_>)

I still holding on for HOPE...XD for more Hope Estheim!! *squee* I can kind of picture what he would look like too!

Gawd now I gotta go draw me some fanart!! O.O/

Older!Hope yus please?

oh yea Light as a Valkyrie? That's interesting! XD hopefully Hope will be in this too and his armor motiff could be based on his Eidolon Alexander? (Maybe he'll even be dressed as a Mage!? gawd I'm shut up now)

*goes back to reinstalling Photoshop on Computer*

[meowkitty7]

it's so exciting right?! Yea I hope to see Serah in action too (especially since I read on the wiki that she was orginally suppose to be a playable character as well but they nixed the idea)

i pray it goes well i can't wait

[sharrakor]

If you don't mind a little spoiler about Serah: she said, in the novella, she wants to become a school teacher, and help Cocoon's children stand on their own feet. Actually, Snow, Serah and Lightning all decided to make their own Gran Pulse city, hahaha, I imagine Snow would become the chief or something.

I also crossed my fingers and hoped Squeenix will have the presence of spirit to do something NOT like FFX-2. Because as much as I liked Yuna and Rikku being all I-woman-hear-me-roar, the J-Pop aspects of it made me cringe a little...

[meowkitty7]

Yea i read that about Serah too, but i can dream LOL.

OMFG YUS I hope for this too! D>

[selenity136]

I just hope that it's not only Lightning in the darkness, but the old gang as well. ...Though that would explain her outfit in this weird dimension war thingy.

[sharrakor]

I thought she looked like a valkyrie of sorts. Which is funny, because she used to summon the Odin Eidolon, haha.
