Lightning and Caius wax and wane philosophical in XIII-2 and LR, that's enough interaction to put them as opposites.

She got the DLC fight but they still couldn't think of anything for her to do so she just summons some palette swaps and stands there, it's so sad

Failboattootoot posted:I picked up FF Explorers today and it seems cute and fun, but it's super easy. Maybe it's because I went back and the monsters are tuned early on for a white mage to slowly beat them to death? Things dying in one Explosive Fist combo is a bit much though. Still, as someone who never liked the plodding nature of MH, I do really like how Reesonance makes you rush around. After you get a short ways in you'll unlock bonus mission objectives which make things more difficult, such as doubling enemy HP and Damage and Halving your own damage. Me and my buds have taken to calling it Monster Hunter Mode.

Help Im Alive posted:I don't know if this is true Admittedly I can't speak for Japan but us gaijin seem to like him a lot. It hardly means much I know but I was surprised to read he won some Bes Villain Poll. I just remember because it was cited on Wikipedia. But when you get right down to it, Caius was pushed almost as hard as Lightning. It's all about marketing. The relentless "shove Lightning in their faces" strategy worked and they kinda did that for Caius, too. He's pretty much a main character of XIII-2, along with Serah and Noel and I guess Yeul, so he would have the "recognition factor" that all the other antagonists lack. zedprime posted:I think Jihl got the DLC in 13-2 as a mulligan because she was an actual important villain in one of the story revisions of 13 so I could see them taking the further opportunity to trot out more unused material they were sad to shelf. This seems plausible, I never thought of that. Interesting suggestion for XIII Chaos Rep: Lumina. This is not my idea. NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jan 30, 2016 |

As someone who's never played XIII-2 I have no idea who Caius is or what he looks like. I already know he can't be cooler than Gaius though!

zedprime posted:But anyway, Caius can't be a bad guy because he is a good guy. So basically if we had Caius, we'd have to remove Lightning, which might be a no-go. Unrelated, but in LR, if I get the opening attack as a Perfect Attack, can I just mash to get more Perfect Attacks? Or do I have to time really loving spot-on on PC where I don't think I got >30 FPS somehow. EDIT: Josuke Higashikata posted:Every individual attack in a chain needs to be timed correctly for all of them to get a perfect timing bonus. It's not too bad once you work out the rhythm for each particular attack you're using. But I'm already at four different attacks equipped.

NikkolasKing posted:It wouldn't make any real sense, thematically. Caius and Lightning have pretty much no connection. But the dude is more popular than pretty much any other FFXIII-verse character. Uh they fight each other in like a dozen times while reciting 7th Grade philosophy at each other. That's the only connection anyone in XIII ever has with a villain. More importantly though he has a sexy voice.

Yes. Siegfried and his Soul Edge is my favorite character from XIII too.  I wouldn't mind Caius so much if his entire existence wasn't the biggest plot hole in the series.

Noel and Caius kind of have a pretty big backstory. As in, it is Noel's entire backstory and most of the main plot of XIII-2.

Caius' immortality came from Etro shoving her heart into him, so when he is killed for good it also kills Etro which prompts the Chaos to erupt from Valhalla. ...And then Caius just kind of casually comes back to life in the secret ending of XIII-2 which completely invalidates the ending in a spectacularly bullshit fashion. I suppose Lightning Returns gave some valid reasoning for why he suddenly popped back into being yet again to be fair, but it still felt like cheap, awful plot twist writing.

As a bonus, those options make it much easier to break parts on boss enemies that allow that before you murder them, although you might need to be certain jobs for that as I found it near impossible to do so reliably as a melee job and much easier as a Machinist that lets me target specific parts from range.

If you want cheap writing how about when Lightning needs someone to run an errand, she reaches into the infinity of all space and time and randomly plucks out the one man who knows Caius's origin story and is able to kill him

Guys the only thing that can make the biting loneliness go away as I stare at the four walls of my room in my small empty apartment draw closer and closer until one day they will swallow me whole into the abyss of forgotten people is FFXV coming out. I need it to come out. It doesn't even have to be a good game, I just want it to finally be released.

AlphaKretin posted:She somehow already knew that his name was Santa Christ, though. Maybe she can just see from Valhalla? Looking it up, Wiki confirms it was Etro who brought him to Valhalla, which I kinda figured since she's also the one who brought Lightning there. Lightning wasn't a goddess in the second game, just glorified middle management. Etro got Lightning to save the world and Light in turn delegated the task to Noel and Serah.
