Isn't it stated pretty definitively that there hasn't been a real Pulse L'Cie since the war? They are real, yes, but the public hasn't seen one in like 500 years, so I'm not surprised they act like they don't exist.

Pulse L'cie are the boogieman of the Cocoon world. The only reason they're even a thing is because Vanille and Fang woke up after 500 years. Cocoon L'cie also haven't been officially seen since the end of the war.

When FFXIV announces they'll be releasing a dungeon that's basically Orphan's Cradle and the final boss is basically just Orphan and there's something that might just be Etro's Gate behind it this thread will just explode with FF13 talk.

Fal'Cie are the Gods like the ones who feed everyone or powers their electricity, L'Cie are the humans they choose for tasks and brand with their marks. Since the war with Pulse was looooong over and the people on Pulse extremely dead while there were still plenty of Pulse and Cocoon Fal'Cie, there weren't any more Cocoon or Pulse L'Cie.

Square-Enix does a "mystery box" sale a couple times a year where for $10 (or equivalent) you get Steam codes for 4 or 5 games with the catch being you don't know what's in it beforehand. The last one had (among other things) FFXIII and FFXIV in it.

They're usually a good deal unless you already own DX:HR (which has been in multiple boxes) and most of the Thief/Hitman/Tomb Raider/Final Fantasy titles on Steam.

And as a consolidation/bonus, you get two coupon codes for some other Square games. Like, I got 20% for JC3 and Rise of the Tomb Raider. So if you want to spend $80, go right ahead. :v:

Let's plan it:

Two part dungeon. One part has you fighting Jecht, then the twist that Tidus was eviller than his dad lets say and you have to kill Tidus. Jecht isn't repeatable but will give you all his unique loot in one shot, while Tidus is but you have to grind his face into the poopsock a bit.

My brother got a knife for his birthday. Granted, he was much younger than Lightning at the time and it was when he started hunting with the rest of the family but it doesn't strike me as all that weird.

What would you get someone like her for their birthday? I think a knife is closer to the mark than, say, clothes or video games.

Lumping XIII-2 with FFVIII in the "...and" category is not fair.

But I have no idea what this is referring to. It's a bundle of games? Digital downloads or something? What system?Then again, the only game from that bundle I care about, I already have so....


I guess but that still seems like a weird thing to think your sibling is lying about. The Vampire Lord doesn't exist but l'Cie do.

As far as I can remember, it had been hundreds if not thousands of years since an enemy Fal'cie had been spotted. I already liked Lightning but that scene sealed the deal for me.

I've always wondered about the circumstances around her naval piercing. It's seems a bit out of character for her. Perhaps Serah bought her a coupon and she didn't want to waste it?

Actually, didn't Lightning regift the knife to Hope, or was that a different knife?

Would've been great if the knife was Snow's idea and he ended up getting stabbed by it.
