Still haven't finished watching your XIII-2 playthrough. Just flew in to say I'm so glad you're playing this and I'll be watching when I catch up. Thanks for playing, uploading and sharing!
I adore this trilogy. The character arcs for Hope, Lightning, and Snow are my favorites. They are just amazing. I remember being so disappointed that Hope was back in his teen body when the character images were first released. SE played it up as a big mystery to be revealed in the game. The English localization botched that bit, though, and I was so frustrated... especially as I watched it first from Japanese streamers and knew the actual dialogue. When you get up to the ending of the game there are videos where fans translated the Japanese dialogue, so what is going on with Hope is actually explained there. There is also a fan translated novel set after the game that gives more information. When you get to the end of the game, I can tell you the titles for those so you can find them if you're interested. You are definitely latching on to good questions to ask about stuff already. I felt so bad for Hope at the beginning of this game. He's a grown man who led humanity for centuries, trying to free them from the gods and Fal'cie. Now he's been returned to his child body (with his adult memories intact) at the whim of a god. I love that Lightning shows him the respect of playfully calling him Mr Hope Estheim at the beginning. She knows he's not actually a kid, and she doesn't talk down to him. Their emotions are subdued at the start, but they do both have emotions still. Like if you look at Hope's face when he tells her that God must have some kind of reason for making him a boy, he looks quite unhappy about it... even if he isn't fully feeling his feelings. Interesting note. If you hadn't taken the boxes in the Ark when you first saw them, Hope has dialogue to prompt you where he reveals these are presents that Hope makes for Lightning to help her. So Hope canonically made the Mist Wizard garb for Lightning. There's a fair bit of joking in the fandom about Hope and how revealing some of his garb designs are. 😂
Same!! Their character arcs are definitely the most interesting ones 😸 Ooooh please do tell me where I can read later on! 🤩 I definitely want to know. Yeah, Ngl I was disappointed in god for making Hope a child again, was he too powerful as an adult or what?! 😹 I was so happy for him in XIII-2, becoming the leader of humanity basically. Always loved Lightning and Hope's dynamic, they're the brother and sister duo that they never got! It's such a nice contrast seeing where they are now, and where they were at the beginning. HAHAH that's hilarious!!! I knew it, Vanille definitely influenced him somehow 😹 so funny!! Now I'm imagining him playing dress to impress too 😭🎉
@SlashterpieceGaming - There were also 3 earlier books that all came out in English. Final Fantasy XIII: Episode Zero was a prequel to the original game. Final Fantasy XIII-2: Fragments Before was a prequel to the second game. Final Fantasy XIII-2: Fragments After expanded on some bits from the second game. There was a chapter centered around Alyssa and Hope in that one that really made me appreciate her as a villain. The book that comes after this game is named Final Fantasy XIII: Reminiscence Tracer of Memories. It's by Daisuke Watanabe (who wrote the first game and this one), and it's the only one without an official translation. It might be because the story was originally published chapter by chapter on the website of a Japanese magazine named Dengeki. The original fan translation is on Internet Archive. I do love the dynamic and interactions between Hope and Light. I view it a bit differently, as I always felt Hope had a bit of a crush on Light. (And a bit of one on Vanille, too) There are some interactions between Light and Hope in this third title that I found to be flirty. I respect you having a different take. It's a hard dynamic for me to describe in a word, as I feel the character dynamics in this trilogy mostly evolve over time. Just in the first game alone, that dynamic went through reluctant allies, accidental enablers, mutual respect for one another's abilities, a cohesive and formidable team, confidantes, and well-earned friendship. I just describe them as partners like they often use in the game for lack of a catch-all term. I kind of wonder if the developers were inspired to use Hope's model from the first game in part because the CG model from the first game was particularly HD and required fewer tweaks. As the third game, it had the smallest budget. Hope being stuck in his kid body made me even sadder with the amazing glow up that Snow got, though. Snow is HOT in this game! Lol Between the power of science and leading humanity, Hope was incredibly powerful as an adult. I'd have been intimidated if I were Bhunivelze. Lol Oh! One last fun thing is that in XIII-2 there was a prophesy you might remember: "The seeress of the Farseers has left us many prophecies, but amongst them the most enigmatic must surely be this: 'When Valhalla consumes the sky, a new star flashes like lightning, and in the heavens twinkles distant hope.' What does it mean when 'Valhalla consumes the sky'? What is the new star that flashes in the sky? Does this prophecy foretell a future of salvation-or destruction? No one can say."
@FenrirInFlowers thank you for explaining! Then I'll be sure to read the books 😸 always nice to have something to read, especially with these interesting characters! Oh for sure I could totally see Hope having a crush on both Light and Vanille 😹 being a kid having innocent crushes here and there is really common. It's not gonna feel as weird if he says anything that sounds flirty, since he's basically a man but stuck in his former kid-self 🙀 we'll see how I react haha! As for Lightning... She feels very asexual to me, and it's a very broad spectrum. But her attitude definitely seems to suggest that she might be on that spectra. Snow really did have a glow up 😹! Understandably so! Hope has a lot of power so keeping him on the Ark and isolating him for Buhnivelzes purpose really seem to be a strategic move. Oooh that's interesting! Thanks for reminding me of that prophecy 🤩
Haaah, Lightning Returns. Always liked it. The whole FFXIII trilogy. Didn't play FFXIII-2, though. And it's Lightning!!! God I love her. 1 of my top Favourite character
@@SlashterpieceGaming There's also her Japan's seiyuu. Maaya Sakamoto!! Aerith's voice actor! She's voicing both of my favourite characters! They both have different personalities yet Maaya voiced them so well.
Oh wow! The last entry in this trilogy! I'm so excited to watch you experience this game for the first time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It's such a thrilling ride. But I must say, I'm sad to see this series come to an end. It has a been great watch. ❤️
Yes!! I can't believe it's the last game, I'm going to have a difficult time letting go of this franchise 😭💔 gonna buy the available novels to have something to read!
Looking forward to this. My favorite FF gameplay-wise. And yes you're gonna get a lot more garbs. I'm sure youve figured out by now you can recolor them too!
I actually have this one… Outside of the FF7 titles. I got the steel book with the Cloud gear DLC. But I never properly played it. For whatever reason I couldn’t get behind it as much as I’d hoped after enjoying the demo. I’m not like a super FF fan, in fact I’ve yet to play the original FF7. I know FF13 usually gets a bad rap. I have no idea why. Like if the game was genuinely off, or if it’s all fan exaggeration. And the weird drama surrounding it being the first FF game to debut for Xbox. It was a weird era. Lol From my understanding FF13-2 was the better/best as far as this trilogy goes. I remember thinking about how badass Lightning looked in FF13-2, and how much it bugged me she wasn’t the primary playable character. Yet she was plastered for marketing. Lol If you played this game back in the day, it was a crazy situation when it comes to outfit DLCS. Like her OG look you had to have a save file for FF13 etc. This game seems like The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask of FF games. :p Honestly the story might even be bunkers.
I've heard the 13 trilogy gets a lot of bad rep but it seems like the opinions have changed a bit from when it was released. I've really been loving it! It's different, plenty of lore, good character development (especially in XIII), amazing music as usual 😸 funny you mention that!! I'm sure I mentioned Majora's mask during my gameplay. Miss that game! Will definitely have to play it again.
I love the opening. One of my favourites in the entire FF series. Both Snow and Lightning look so badass. Killer swordplay choreography. And the intrigue! Why is Snow suddenly fighting Lightning? What's going on? :)
@@SlashterpieceGaming i am done watching this. Awesome playthrough then i am rewatching FF 7 rebirth part 52 now because of your amazing reaction ❤😻🥰😍😊
I am so excited you're back to the Xiii trilogy!! Love that you are on the "Caius Won" team. It's why he's the best FF villain for me. Please please please be aware you CANNOT see everything in one playthrough. It is explicitly designed to require multiple play throughs, kinda like Shadow the Hedgehod. You literally cannot see the whole story on a single playthrough. Even with maxed out EP. You WILL have to play it at least twice to get to every area or quest Also! You should be able to link an Xbox One, or X/S controller to a pc! That's how I play the Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and FFXIII trilogies on modern machines with mods :)
Caius for sure is one of the best antagonists I ever came across 🙀 and his theme song is THE BEST! I see! Does that mean there's main story parts I'll miss if I do not play twice? Or you mean that there are quests that are unlocked once you finish the game? I play with a PS3 controller now, with a cord that's messed up, but it just adds to the difficulty 😹 just need to keep it still
@@SlashterpieceGaming there are portions of each of the four main areas that can only be accessed or seen if you reach that region last. There is differences between what happens with Vanille, Noel, and other returning folks. Additionally, I believe the quests also unlock in a certain pattern, and some can only be completed "before the end of day 4", ect. You've got this, skill wise and lore wise! I believe in you! It's a tough game but once you get the system in your head, it flows together super well! Caius' theme is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Google the translation of the Latin lyrics, and it's basically his whole backstory and oath! Plus those violins. Yum for my ears. Thanks for responding :)!
I love Salvation fanfare!!! I know people love victory fanfare a lot but it's my favorite FF victory theme If you stayed a bit and listened after victory it's really catchy
Äntligen har det blivit dags för Lightning Returns, jag har verkligen sett fram emot detta ända sedan du blev färdig med 13-2. 😀 Detta spel med tidsaspekten och stridssystemet är mer olikt de andra två spelen, jag trodde i början att det skulle bli väldigt stressigt med att tiden går hela tiden när man utforskar världen men det är inte så farligt om man använder Chronostasis och planerar sin tid på ett bra sätt. Jag hade själv en guidebok när jag spelade första gången och när jag hade gjort alla mainquests och sidequests så hade jag kanske fyra eller fem dagar kvar så jag kunde bara sova bort de sista dagarna på värdshus då det inte fanns någonting att göra. Det är roligt att se Lightning interagera med många olika sorters människor med tanke på att hon inte verkar vara särskilt social av sig lol. Lumina är min favoritkaraktär av alla NPCs i FF 13 triologin, jag gillar hennes röst och personlighet väldigt mycket och man vet inte riktigt var man har henne om hon försöker hjälpa Lightning eller om hon är emot henne. 🙂 Jag vill också säga att genom att kalla Bhunivelze "God" och genom att Lightning kallas för "the Savour" så är det ganska tydligt att de anspelar på den kristna Guden och Jesus. Ganska intressant tycker jag då jag själv är kristen, jag älskar verkligen musiken i Arken då det låter som att man är i himmelen lol jag spenderade en hel del tid där bara för att lyssna på musiken. Jag ser fram emot att se dig spela igenom detta spel och avslutningen av FF 13 triologin även om det är sorgligt att det snart är slut. 😊
Hehee nu är väntan över! 😸 Hittils så tycker jag det är riktigt roligt, och stridssystemet är suveränt! Verkligen ett kul koncept att kunna välja och vraka bland outfits med olika egenskaper 🤩 Får mig att tänka på FFX-2! Aaa, trodde jag skulle känna mig mer stressad pga tidsaspekten men med chronostasis så tycker jag ändå hittills att det går bra. Jaa verkligen! Så himla roligt att se henne interagera med folk, nått som vi inte riktigt fick se tidigare. Som interaktionerna hon haft har alltid varit till de andra huvudkaraktärerna. Inte så konstigt när alla var l'cie 😸 hon har verkligen sin egna charm. Ååå spännande!! Nu när du säger det så ser jag det 😸 musiken i Arken är super fin , förstår exakt vad du menar.
Hi! Sorry, I've been out of it for quite a while. Turns out I've been sick for a while and needed antibiotics for an infection. Oops. Anyway, Lightning's character interests me greatly. I've seen many people compare her to Cloud, and to an extent I'd agree, but she has subtle differences that make her (in my opinion) more likable. And I think the biggest one is her ultimate driving force: Serah. That girl would move heaven, earth, the cosmos, and everything in between to find and protect her baby sis, and I just find that so relatable and incredible about her.
Oh noo! Are you good now? 🙀💖 Good to see you again! Agreed! When I played the first game I did say that she reminded me of Cloud as a SOLDIER, but with her character development I could then see that they're not so alike 😹 but I definitely get why ppl would say 'female Cloud'. I love Lightning, she really grew on me!
@@SlashterpieceGaming Nope. Will be in a few days, though. Got a little bit more of the meds to go through and I should be good. Yeah, she definitely has that aloof, stoic, impersonal nature, and because both she and Cloud were in a similar environment, so it makes perfect sense to compare them. Both became fugitives, too, which is interesting. But yeah, Lightning is a sweetheart. She just doesn't like when people like Snow point out... well, anything about her.
@not2shabby Glad it's going the right way! Hope for a speedy recovery, take care of yourself 💚 I think it's so funny that Lightning and Snow have such a sibling vibe 😹 it's really amazing to see Lightning's journey going from only caring about her sister to caring about her teammates as well!
@@SlashterpieceGaming I'm doing my best! But yeah, it's really something. I do really like Lightning's almost big sister relationship with Hope, as well.
Woooooow, we never are ready for the final trilogies or to see the last videos of final fantasy XD Looks like there are no feiends at all between lighting and snow XD 5:10 i thought she was sarah!!?!??! 33:10 jajaja heey i was talking with the enemy!!!!! And now fighting a demonic dragon that Lumina can summon like nothing!!!! 52:00 so lighting must save all the souls if not all will die, Noooooo they don't give you options no? 😅 Woooow what a nice beginning after FF7 rebirth aaaahhhh!!!+
If I want to donate your RUclips channel then what would I have? I just want to support your amazing channel because i love your amazing reaction and listening to your commentary while playing
Awww that is so kind of you!! 🥹❤️ I do get Ad revenue, so not skipping ads helps! Otherwise you can send a super thanks on YT 😸 But basically you're helping by watching the video hehe! 🎉
@@SlashterpieceGaming of course but idk if usa and your country to donate your youtube channel work..i am glad that you are my friend now 😍😊🥰. You know what, over 300 clerith fans followed me on my twitter haha. I told them about your RUclips channel is amazing then they took my advice and followed your RUclips channel and support you by watching your reaction
Aww you're so sweet!! That's very nice of you to share my channel! 😸❤️ I've not had a problem with the currency being different from my country 😸 I'm really happy that you like my videos!
@AerithCloud2024 going to continue with Lightning Returns until I'm finished 😸 I'm working on an analysis for Rebirth now so we'll see when it's ready! I'll be sure to tell you
32:20 right?! They whipped an entire new world The art director wanted this Lightning Returns world Nova Chrysalia to be just one island but made it to be multiple places just for one game!!! I won't claim FFXII: The Zodiac Age will have the greatest story cause it's an ok one but what made XII my favorite game of all time is the world design Isamu Kamikokuryo work on both XII and XIII worlds is something to be celebrated It's sad he retired. It's funny you're already over Lumina😂
Hahah i found her so bratty at first 😹 Absolutely love this game so far, incredible how they are able to make a third game and still have it be so interesting!!
Damn that felt like an eternity! Missed your videos 😢 I hope you enjoyed Rebirth, though ❤ It and 16 look amazing. One day, I'll get a ps5 😅 This one is similar to Dragon Age: Origins in that all areas are open from the start, and you can go wherever you want. I'm sure you're already far in front that you've already done at least one of the areas, haha ❤ My suggestion is finish the plains last because its tough if you complete it early. You can still go there of course but don't progress too far that you trigger the hard stuff too early. You will eventually memorize when places open/close and at what time. Again, don't stress the timer (it's on you a bit later). You get 24 in game hours to do stuff before being transported back to the ark every morning. Chronostasis is your friend outside towns. It makes the timer a non-issue. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing you finish this awesome trilogy. It's an emotional and fun ride! You'll love the "dresspheres". Let's go! ❤
I absolutely loooooved Rebirth, you're going to love it when you get to play it! It'll eventually get on PC 🤩 Yeah right now I'm almost done in Yusnaan, I played Stellar Blade after Rebirth, so that game I've finished 😹 but so far absolutely loving LR. I'm gushing over the outfits sooo much, I absolutely love it!!!
@nezkeys79 It doesn't bother me as much as I thought 😹 I still feel like I get plenty of time running around to check if NPCs have showed up randomly at different times.
@@SlashterpieceGamingyes it's a weird one because the thought of it is always overwhelming for people (me included as I had the exact same reservations as you), but it's not as bad as it appears to be. Maybe the devs could have eased this though by having Hope say something like don't rush yourself out there (but there is some sort of urgency in the story with the world counting down to the end and lightning having to save souls, so that may have been counter productive). There are definitely people that have FOMO (fear of missing out) Really glad you pushed through and will now get to experience the amazing final part of this trilogy
@nezkeys79 Yeah it definitely played a factor for me at first, if I wouldn't have loved the XIII series I don't think I'd be heading into LR. I'm sooo glad I liked it, otherwise I'd really be missing out 🙀💦
I'm surprised you're not using controller 😮 its easier to visualize the inputs as you set them to the face buttons like cross, circle, triangle, square You probably know all this already but Schemata switching is similar to 7 remake. When they're out of atb switch and that one will recharge while you're not on it. You can see the atb of the other two charging while you're not on them. The switching is slightly faster than paradigms
Yeah! I had to get the controller 😹 it was such a hassle playing with a keyboard... Since I had to change the camera as well.. I think I got a controller when I met the Shadow Hunter 😎
Its not really like Commando/Ravager/Sentinel as you can just put a stagger raising ability, and guard on all 3 of your schemata if you want to, rather than just one. It's probably imbalanced though if you duplicate loads of stuff. I'd say one schemata for tanking/healing, and the other two doing staggering/damage is fairly balanced. In the end I just picked ones I liked like the Tidus and Yuna garbs 😍 Loads of possibilities and you're already fan girling the different garbs hehe. They did an awesome job here with the dress up feature and makes 13-2s adornment system look pretty basic lol You will notice some schemata have locked abilities and others will have 4 free slots etc. It's pretty cool how you can just put whatever you want and easily switch between them even your reserve schemata. The customization was pretty cool in this game, but the accessories were better in the first game imo (you got 4 there) Sadly, the idea of saboteur and synergist were nerfed again here. Buffs and debuffs are usually short and temporary at the start of a battle, or via an item. Even the dedicated sab/syn schematas are nerfed because the abilities dont last as long (still useful though)
Hahah! I'm doing that kind of, using outfits that I like with at least some having good and useful abilities for where I am in the game 😹 so many different garbs to choose from! And almost all look absolutely amazing 🙀❤️ I really hope they do more games like this, give me outfit options plz!! So far into the game I've at least used deprotect 🤓
@@SlashterpieceGamingI was almost always in Yuna summoner, Cloud, and a debilitation garb (forgot its name). The summon one had an extremely op attack called elementa 😂 I knew you'd vibe with this game. You're gonna love the serious aspects of the game too (character progressions/interactions, story, ending etc). I think it's just 10-2, 13-2 (adornments), 13-3, and 14 with this glamour thing, but 14 is an mmo and a trap imo. It's good but a huge time sink so you'll never have time to play anything else. Adornments are kinda basic though in comparison to dresspheres and garbs World of Final Fantasy has the cute chibi designs, and really addicting turn based gameplay + monster catching like 13-2, but you stack monsters on your head 😅 but as I said you should wait on that one until you've played 1-15 so you know who all the cameos are
@@nezkeys79omg I need to get into world of final fantasy as well then 😸 I know I have this on my list to play! I adoooore this concept of switching outfits and having different abilities! And every garb so far looks AMAZING 🙀💖💖💖
@@SlashterpieceGamingyes most garbs look amazing 💖 You get lots of them automatically just through progression but make sure to check shops in towns/villages for new ones as well It's awesome they gave us the outfits from the previous two, yuna, tidus, Cloud, even Tomb Raider lol If I recall correctly they coded it so your garb choice is in the cutscenes but not 100% on that Lightnings character progression across this trilogy is probably my fave of any videogame (barring the characters in TLOU2 which is a different sort of game as not an rpg and about real life in an infected apocalypse, but it's masterpiece imo, and you should play both games and the DLC in the middle). You'll love them and RE6 I'm sure
@@SlashterpieceGamingalso if you want a short game to play between long rpgs (I think it's only like 3 or 4 hours max) then "To The Moon" The devs of that game made other short emotional stories on a human level. I went into that game expecting nothing and ended up crying like I do in FF games 😅
I would have still recommended easy mode. Not for the difficulty of battles, but just because you get far more EP, so can just spam chronostasis in most areas to never lose time until you want to. You might still be fine on normal though as on easy I finished everything way early and was just resting doing sidequests (these raise your stats as you don't level up from battles), and sleeping at inns to progress time. You get 13 days which is probably more than enough even on normal Also, you can increase the max item limit over the course of the game. I think it's like 12 items or something. Maybe even more. I don't remember
I'm going to play it on normal I think it's fine so far 😸 and using the beverage and grocery shop has it's uses hehee! Right now I feel like I'm time managing very good.
@@SlashterpieceGamingyeah that's all it's really about. Knowing when gates open, or when an npc spawns for a quest, and planning your routes each day. The trains take a few hours tho so compensate for that If you finish all areas early you just sleep to advance time, or spend it finishing up sidequests (which will make you stronger and also if you do a certain number of them there is a secret post credits ending). It's around 50+ quests I think, but barely worth it tho so I wouldn't stress it if it seems to grindy. I enjoyed the sidequests though because it's lightning saving peoples souls and some of them are funny lol Lightning goes on a date with one npc 😅 ❤
@nezkeys79 so far the quests have been very good, I like that each tells a life lesson for us 😸 so I'm going to try to do all that I can find! But we'll see how many of them I can actually find the first playthrough hehee
@@SlashterpieceGamingawesome. Most are easy to track as well but be careful on one or two because you have to keep visiting the npc on multiple days. I think this only makes one sidequest really missable because you have to speak to the npc on 4 consecutive days (so leaving that too late makes it impossible).
Did you wait to post the game until you finished it? this game probably was stressful. I know I played probably three times and let the world end because I didn’t quite understand how to utilize the time stasis thing😅 Snow has been branded by the le’cie for 500 years containing the chaos and keeping everyone in the city, safe on top of being depressed🥹
Nope! I'm almost finished in Yusnaan now, I think with all the side quests? At least 😸 I keep going back and forth to see if I'm missed any hehe! It is stressful at times! I'm using a lot of chonostasis and trying to time manage the best I can. Snow 😭💔 him being depressed just makes me so sad!! We've never seen him like this
@@SlashterpieceGamingabout chronostasis you probably already figured this out, but it's a waste to use it in areas where there are not many enemies (like walking around the first town where enemies don't spawn much), because the EP gains are too infrequent and too small In the other areas, especially at night or on large enemies, you can chain chronostasis to never run out, because the enemies spawn frequently. On easy difficulty, the largest enemies at night give 6 EP I think so it fills the bar instantly. All enemies give less EP on normal, and even less on Hard. I think you're also not healed after every battle like on easy? Or maybe that's just on hard mode I forgot. Hard Mode in this game is brutal 😢
@@nezkeys79yeah that's right! I don't get healed up after every battle, but it's ok since there are grocery and beverage stores 😸 also the general store hehe! Sorry I dont get all the comments in order at all times, so that's why you see me responding later to some 😹 there's been a massive increase on comments after Rebirth so I'm still going through everything. But I try to focus more on new videos comments and just read the comments on precious videos.
@@SlashterpieceGamingno need to apologise. You play games that are dear to me, and always reply to all my comments, and I enjoy/respect that engagement. I sent a few others when you were asleep, so I don't even think you were late.
🗣️📢 WOOOOO! We are back! ❤️🔥
Lightning is my favorite female hero ever 😍😍😍
The lightening touch nice.
Sorry for being Late.. had a couple of pretty Bad days here in the hospital 😕 but you stay well and take care 🍀
Oh no! Hope you're doing better now? 🙀💚 Please take care of yourself and rest up! 🍀
Still haven't finished watching your XIII-2 playthrough. Just flew in to say I'm so glad you're playing this and I'll be watching when I catch up. Thanks for playing, uploading and sharing!
I've been so excited to play Lightning Returns 😸!! Back into the world of chaos I go 🙀🎉
I adore this trilogy. The character arcs for Hope, Lightning, and Snow are my favorites. They are just amazing.
I remember being so disappointed that Hope was back in his teen body when the character images were first released. SE played it up as a big mystery to be revealed in the game. The English localization botched that bit, though, and I was so frustrated... especially as I watched it first from Japanese streamers and knew the actual dialogue. When you get up to the ending of the game there are videos where fans translated the Japanese dialogue, so what is going on with Hope is actually explained there. There is also a fan translated novel set after the game that gives more information. When you get to the end of the game, I can tell you the titles for those so you can find them if you're interested. You are definitely latching on to good questions to ask about stuff already.
I felt so bad for Hope at the beginning of this game. He's a grown man who led humanity for centuries, trying to free them from the gods and Fal'cie. Now he's been returned to his child body (with his adult memories intact) at the whim of a god.
I love that Lightning shows him the respect of playfully calling him Mr Hope Estheim at the beginning. She knows he's not actually a kid, and she doesn't talk down to him. Their emotions are subdued at the start, but they do both have emotions still. Like if you look at Hope's face when he tells her that God must have some kind of reason for making him a boy, he looks quite unhappy about it... even if he isn't fully feeling his feelings.
Interesting note. If you hadn't taken the boxes in the Ark when you first saw them, Hope has dialogue to prompt you where he reveals these are presents that Hope makes for Lightning to help her. So Hope canonically made the Mist Wizard garb for Lightning. There's a fair bit of joking in the fandom about Hope and how revealing some of his garb designs are. 😂
Same!! Their character arcs are definitely the most interesting ones 😸
Ooooh please do tell me where I can read later on! 🤩 I definitely want to know.
Yeah, Ngl I was disappointed in god for making Hope a child again, was he too powerful as an adult or what?! 😹 I was so happy for him in XIII-2, becoming the leader of humanity basically.
Always loved Lightning and Hope's dynamic, they're the brother and sister duo that they never got! It's such a nice contrast seeing where they are now, and where they were at the beginning.
HAHAH that's hilarious!!! I knew it, Vanille definitely influenced him somehow 😹 so funny!! Now I'm imagining him playing dress to impress too 😭🎉
@SlashterpieceGaming - There were also 3 earlier books that all came out in English. Final Fantasy XIII: Episode Zero was a prequel to the original game. Final Fantasy XIII-2: Fragments Before was a prequel to the second game. Final Fantasy XIII-2: Fragments After expanded on some bits from the second game. There was a chapter centered around Alyssa and Hope in that one that really made me appreciate her as a villain.
The book that comes after this game is named Final Fantasy XIII: Reminiscence Tracer of Memories. It's by Daisuke Watanabe (who wrote the first game and this one), and it's the only one without an official translation. It might be because the story was originally published chapter by chapter on the website of a Japanese magazine named Dengeki. The original fan translation is on Internet Archive.
I do love the dynamic and interactions between Hope and Light. I view it a bit differently, as I always felt Hope had a bit of a crush on Light. (And a bit of one on Vanille, too) There are some interactions between Light and Hope in this third title that I found to be flirty. I respect you having a different take.
It's a hard dynamic for me to describe in a word, as I feel the character dynamics in this trilogy mostly evolve over time. Just in the first game alone, that dynamic went through reluctant allies, accidental enablers, mutual respect for one another's abilities, a cohesive and formidable team, confidantes, and well-earned friendship. I just describe them as partners like they often use in the game for lack of a catch-all term.
I kind of wonder if the developers were inspired to use Hope's model from the first game in part because the CG model from the first game was particularly HD and required fewer tweaks. As the third game, it had the smallest budget. Hope being stuck in his kid body made me even sadder with the amazing glow up that Snow got, though. Snow is HOT in this game! Lol
Between the power of science and leading humanity, Hope was incredibly powerful as an adult. I'd have been intimidated if I were Bhunivelze. Lol
Oh! One last fun thing is that in XIII-2 there was a prophesy you might remember:
"The seeress of the Farseers has left us
many prophecies, but amongst them the
most enigmatic must surely be this:
'When Valhalla consumes the sky, a new star flashes like lightning, and in the heavens twinkles distant hope.'
What does it mean when 'Valhalla consumes the sky'? What is the new star that flashes in the sky? Does this prophecy foretell a future of salvation-or destruction? No one can say."
@FenrirInFlowers thank you for explaining! Then I'll be sure to read the books 😸 always nice to have something to read, especially with these interesting characters!
Oh for sure I could totally see Hope having a crush on both Light and Vanille 😹 being a kid having innocent crushes here and there is really common. It's not gonna feel as weird if he says anything that sounds flirty, since he's basically a man but stuck in his former kid-self 🙀 we'll see how I react haha!
As for Lightning... She feels very asexual to me, and it's a very broad spectrum. But her attitude definitely seems to suggest that she might be on that spectra.
Snow really did have a glow up 😹!
Understandably so! Hope has a lot of power so keeping him on the Ark and isolating him for Buhnivelzes purpose really seem to be a strategic move.
Oooh that's interesting! Thanks for reminding me of that prophecy 🤩
Good luck and patience with the time mechanic, you will need it. Greetings.
Thank you!
Haaah, Lightning Returns. Always liked it. The whole FFXIII trilogy. Didn't play FFXIII-2, though. And it's Lightning!!! God I love her. 1 of my top Favourite character
Same! Love her ❤️❤️
@@SlashterpieceGaming There's also her Japan's seiyuu. Maaya Sakamoto!! Aerith's voice actor! She's voicing both of my favourite characters! They both have different personalities yet Maaya voiced them so well.
You gonna love this game ❤️
I have no doubt, so far I'm loving it 😭❤️❤️
@@SlashterpieceGaming really wishing this was on Ps5! I would have played it nonstop!
YAAAAY! I recently finished your XIII and XIII-2 playthroughs and loved your insights on the plot and characters. Excited for Lightning Returns!
Glad people are excited for Lightning Returns!! 😸
XIII has been a really big surprise! I've loved playing it, and can't wait to see how LR ends!
Oh wow! The last entry in this trilogy! I'm so excited to watch you experience this game for the first time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It's such a thrilling ride. But I must say, I'm sad to see this series come to an end. It has a been great watch. ❤️
Yes!! I can't believe it's the last game, I'm going to have a difficult time letting go of this franchise 😭💔 gonna buy the available novels to have something to read!
I highly recommend that :)@@SlashterpieceGaming
@@SlashterpieceGaming There's always the spiritual successor - Final Fantasy Versus 13. It eventually evolved into FF 15 :)
Looking forward to this. My favorite FF gameplay-wise. And yes you're gonna get a lot more garbs. I'm sure youve figured out by now you can recolor them too!
omggg im so hypeddd for this
I actually have this one… Outside of the FF7 titles. I got the steel book with the Cloud gear DLC. But I never properly played it. For whatever reason I couldn’t get behind it as much as I’d hoped after enjoying the demo. I’m not like a super FF fan, in fact I’ve yet to play the original FF7. I know FF13 usually gets a bad rap. I have no idea why. Like if the game was genuinely off, or if it’s all fan exaggeration. And the weird drama surrounding it being the first FF game to debut for Xbox. It was a weird era. Lol From my understanding FF13-2 was the better/best as far as this trilogy goes. I remember thinking about how badass Lightning looked in FF13-2, and how much it bugged me she wasn’t the primary playable character. Yet she was plastered for marketing. Lol If you played this game back in the day, it was a crazy situation when it comes to outfit DLCS. Like her OG look you had to have a save file for FF13 etc. This game seems like The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask of FF games. :p Honestly the story might even be bunkers.
I've heard the 13 trilogy gets a lot of bad rep but it seems like the opinions have changed a bit from when it was released. I've really been loving it! It's different, plenty of lore, good character development (especially in XIII), amazing music as usual 😸 funny you mention that!! I'm sure I mentioned Majora's mask during my gameplay. Miss that game! Will definitely have to play it again.
I love the opening. One of my favourites in the entire FF series. Both Snow and Lightning look so badass. Killer swordplay choreography. And the intrigue! Why is Snow suddenly fighting Lightning? What's going on? :)
I love it!! The intro was amazing, seeing Hope and Snow was so nice 🥹 but seeing Snow so down made me sad! 💔
Awesome 🎉❤
Hope
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
This game was solid on what I played but i never finished it because i lost saved game and don’t want to start over again in beginning of story
Totally understandable! Especially if you've already spent a lot of hours and then the save is gone 🙀💦
@@SlashterpieceGaming yep i was pissed when i lost saved game in middle of story
@AerithCloud2024 I would've been too 🙀

@AerithCloud2024 aww that's so sweet of you 😸❤️
Here we go!!!!!! This game brings back so many memories
Enjoy! 😸
LETSGOOOOOO
I'm not ready to watch this series end again but let's enjoy it meanwhile 😊🎉
I'm not ready either 😭💔💔
finally
😸🎉🎉🎉
I am so excited you're back to the Xiii trilogy!!
Love that you are on the "Caius Won" team. It's why he's the best FF villain for me.
Please please please be aware you CANNOT see everything in one playthrough. It is explicitly designed to require multiple play throughs, kinda like Shadow the Hedgehod. You literally cannot see the whole story on a single playthrough. Even with maxed out EP. You WILL have to play it at least twice to get to every area or quest
Also! You should be able to link an Xbox One, or X/S controller to a pc! That's how I play the Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and FFXIII trilogies on modern machines with mods :)
Caius for sure is one of the best antagonists I ever came across 🙀 and his theme song is THE BEST!
I see! Does that mean there's main story parts I'll miss if I do not play twice? Or you mean that there are quests that are unlocked once you finish the game?
I play with a PS3 controller now, with a cord that's messed up, but it just adds to the difficulty 😹 just need to keep it still
@@SlashterpieceGaming there are portions of each of the four main areas that can only be accessed or seen if you reach that region last. There is differences between what happens with Vanille, Noel, and other returning folks. Additionally, I believe the quests also unlock in a certain pattern, and some can only be completed "before the end of day 4", ect.
You've got this, skill wise and lore wise! I believe in you! It's a tough game but once you get the system in your head, it flows together super well!
Caius' theme is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Google the translation of the Latin lyrics, and it's basically his whole backstory and oath! Plus those violins. Yum for my ears.
Thanks for responding :)!
The merchant is like *welcome stranger!*
(Memories of RE4)
I like RE4 merchant! He was my comfort in the game 😹
I love Salvation fanfare!!! I know people love victory fanfare a lot but it's my favorite FF victory theme
If you stayed a bit and listened after victory it's really catchy
Yeah!! I realized when I was farming a lill bit , went to grab some water and heard the tune 🤩
Äntligen har det blivit dags för Lightning Returns, jag har verkligen sett fram emot detta ända sedan du blev färdig med 13-2. 😀
Detta spel med tidsaspekten och stridssystemet är mer olikt de andra två spelen, jag trodde i början att det skulle bli väldigt stressigt med att tiden går hela tiden när man utforskar världen men det är inte så farligt om man använder Chronostasis och planerar sin tid på ett bra sätt. Jag hade själv en guidebok när jag spelade första gången och när jag hade gjort alla mainquests och sidequests så hade jag kanske fyra eller fem dagar kvar så jag kunde bara sova bort de sista dagarna på värdshus då det inte fanns någonting att göra.
Det är roligt att se Lightning interagera med många olika sorters människor med tanke på att hon inte verkar vara särskilt social av sig lol. Lumina är min favoritkaraktär av alla NPCs i FF 13 triologin, jag gillar hennes röst och personlighet väldigt mycket och man vet inte riktigt var man har henne om hon försöker hjälpa Lightning eller om hon är emot henne. 🙂
Jag vill också säga att genom att kalla Bhunivelze "God" och genom att Lightning kallas för "the Savour" så är det ganska tydligt att de anspelar på den kristna Guden och Jesus. Ganska intressant tycker jag då jag själv är kristen, jag älskar verkligen musiken i Arken då det låter som att man är i himmelen lol jag spenderade en hel del tid där bara för att lyssna på musiken.
Jag ser fram emot att se dig spela igenom detta spel och avslutningen av FF 13 triologin även om det är sorgligt att det snart är slut. 😊
Hehee nu är väntan över! 😸
Hittils så tycker jag det är riktigt roligt, och stridssystemet är suveränt! Verkligen ett kul koncept att kunna välja och vraka bland outfits med olika egenskaper 🤩 Får mig att tänka på FFX-2!
Aaa, trodde jag skulle känna mig mer stressad pga tidsaspekten men med chronostasis så tycker jag ändå hittills att det går bra.
Jaa verkligen! Så himla roligt att se henne interagera med folk, nått som vi inte riktigt fick se tidigare. Som interaktionerna hon haft har alltid varit till de andra huvudkaraktärerna. Inte så konstigt när alla var l'cie 😸 hon har verkligen sin egna charm.
Ååå spännande!! Nu när du säger det så ser jag det 😸 musiken i Arken är super fin , förstår exakt vad du menar.
Hi!
Sorry, I've been out of it for quite a while. Turns out I've been sick for a while and needed antibiotics for an infection. Oops.
Anyway, Lightning's character interests me greatly. I've seen many people compare her to Cloud, and to an extent I'd agree, but she has subtle differences that make her (in my opinion) more likable.
And I think the biggest one is her ultimate driving force: Serah. That girl would move heaven, earth, the cosmos, and everything in between to find and protect her baby sis, and I just find that so relatable and incredible about her.
Oh noo! Are you good now? 🙀💖 Good to see you again!
Agreed! When I played the first game I did say that she reminded me of Cloud as a SOLDIER, but with her character development I could then see that they're not so alike 😹 but I definitely get why ppl would say 'female Cloud'.
I love Lightning, she really grew on me!
@@SlashterpieceGaming Nope. Will be in a few days, though. Got a little bit more of the meds to go through and I should be good.
Yeah, she definitely has that aloof, stoic, impersonal nature, and because both she and Cloud were in a similar environment, so it makes perfect sense to compare them. Both became fugitives, too, which is interesting.
But yeah, Lightning is a sweetheart. She just doesn't like when people like Snow point out... well, anything about her.
@not2shabby Glad it's going the right way! Hope for a speedy recovery, take care of yourself 💚
I think it's so funny that Lightning and Snow have such a sibling vibe 😹 it's really amazing to see Lightning's journey going from only caring about her sister to caring about her teammates as well!
@@SlashterpieceGaming I'm doing my best!
But yeah, it's really something. I do really like Lightning's almost big sister relationship with Hope, as well.
Finallyyy!!!😊😊
Woooooow, we never are ready for the final trilogies or to see the last videos of final fantasy XD
Looks like there are no feiends at all between lighting and snow XD 5:10 i thought she was sarah!!?!??!
33:10 jajaja heey i was talking with the enemy!!!!! And now fighting a demonic dragon that Lumina can summon like nothing!!!!
52:00 so lighting must save all the souls if not all will die, Noooooo they don't give you options no? 😅
Woooow what a nice beginning after FF7 rebirth aaaahhhh!!!+
Game is starting and it's already throwing us all off and asking questions 😹 we'll see when we get answers!
Lumina is very mysterious!
@@SlashterpieceGaming yeaaah Lumina so so mysterios!!! And the most freeky topic is that she lokks like sarah! 😅😬😬😬😬
@diegoarturomanriquesiles2019 Maybe Lumina is Kirby... She ate Serah and now looks like her 😹

Time for Lightning to take the spotlight 😎🎉
If I want to donate your RUclips channel then what would I have? I just want to support your amazing channel because i love your amazing reaction and listening to your commentary while playing
Awww that is so kind of you!! 🥹❤️ I do get Ad revenue, so not skipping ads helps! Otherwise you can send a super thanks on YT 😸
But basically you're helping by watching the video hehe! 🎉
@@SlashterpieceGaming of course but idk if usa and your country to donate your youtube channel work..i am glad that you are my friend now 😍😊🥰. You know what, over 300 clerith fans followed me on my twitter haha.

I'm really happy that you like my videos!
@@SlashterpieceGaming what next video are you going to upload after part 1 Lightning returns this week?
@AerithCloud2024 going to continue with Lightning Returns until I'm finished 😸 I'm working on an analysis for Rebirth now so we'll see when it's ready! I'll be sure to tell you
32:20 right?!
They whipped an entire new world The art director wanted this Lightning Returns world Nova Chrysalia to be just one island but made it to be multiple places just for one game!!!
I won't claim FFXII: The Zodiac Age will have the greatest story cause it's an ok one but what made XII my favorite game of all time is the world design Isamu Kamikokuryo work on both XII and XIII worlds is something to be celebrated
It's sad he retired.
It's funny you're already over Lumina😂
Hahah i found her so bratty at first 😹
Absolutely love this game so far, incredible how they are able to make a third game and still have it be so interesting!!
New sub here, controller is recommended for better exp..its hard playing with keyboard
Indeed! I eventually got myself down to the cellar to check for my controller 😹
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Damn that felt like an eternity! Missed your videos 😢 I hope you enjoyed Rebirth, though ❤ It and 16 look amazing. One day, I'll get a ps5 😅
This one is similar to Dragon Age: Origins in that all areas are open from the start, and you can go wherever you want. I'm sure you're already far in front that you've already done at least one of the areas, haha ❤ My suggestion is finish the plains last because its tough if you complete it early. You can still go there of course but don't progress too far that you trigger the hard stuff too early. You will eventually memorize when places open/close and at what time.
Again, don't stress the timer (it's on you a bit later). You get 24 in game hours to do stuff before being transported back to the ark every morning. Chronostasis is your friend outside towns. It makes the timer a non-issue.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing you finish this awesome trilogy. It's an emotional and fun ride! You'll love the "dresspheres". Let's go! ❤
I absolutely loooooved Rebirth, you're going to love it when you get to play it! It'll eventually get on PC 🤩
Yeah right now I'm almost done in Yusnaan, I played Stellar Blade after Rebirth, so that game I've finished 😹 but so far absolutely loving LR. I'm gushing over the outfits sooo much, I absolutely love it!!!
@@SlashterpieceGamingso the timer doesn't bother you now? Stellar blade looks nice
@nezkeys79 It doesn't bother me as much as I thought 😹 I still feel like I get plenty of time running around to check if NPCs have showed up randomly at different times.
@@SlashterpieceGamingyes it's a weird one because the thought of it is always overwhelming for people (me included as I had the exact same reservations as you), but it's not as bad as it appears to be.
Maybe the devs could have eased this though by having Hope say something like don't rush yourself out there (but there is some sort of urgency in the story with the world counting down to the end and lightning having to save souls, so that may have been counter productive). There are definitely people that have FOMO (fear of missing out)
Really glad you pushed through and will now get to experience the amazing final part of this trilogy
@nezkeys79 Yeah it definitely played a factor for me at first, if I wouldn't have loved the XIII series I don't think I'd be heading into LR. I'm sooo glad I liked it, otherwise I'd really be missing out 🙀💦
I still haven't made progress 😂😂😂
Also one question - did you complete the game in normal?
Not complete yet, but I'm playing normal 😸
@@SlashterpieceGaming oh god I didn't get very far before restarting on easy 🤣🤣🤣
Hi friend how are you
Hi I'm doing fine! How about you?
@@SlashterpieceGaming I'm glad you're doing fine I'm also doing fine thanks
I'm surprised you're not using controller 😮 its easier to visualize the inputs as you set them to the face buttons like cross, circle, triangle, square
You probably know all this already but Schemata switching is similar to 7 remake. When they're out of atb switch and that one will recharge while you're not on it. You can see the atb of the other two charging while you're not on them. The switching is slightly faster than paradigms
Yeah! I had to get the controller 😹 it was such a hassle playing with a keyboard... Since I had to change the camera as well.. I think I got a controller when I met the Shadow Hunter 😎
@@SlashterpieceGaminghmm I always think keyboard and mouse is lame but maybe it's passable in some games lol
@nezkeys79 I play a lot of games with keyboard and mouse! 😸 But some games are just way better with controller 🎉
@@SlashterpieceGamingI struggle with KBM lol. Too used to controllers
Back to 13!
Its not really like Commando/Ravager/Sentinel as you can just put a stagger raising ability, and guard on all 3 of your schemata if you want to, rather than just one. It's probably imbalanced though if you duplicate loads of stuff. I'd say one schemata for tanking/healing, and the other two doing staggering/damage is fairly balanced.
In the end I just picked ones I liked like the Tidus and Yuna garbs 😍 Loads of possibilities and you're already fan girling the different garbs hehe. They did an awesome job here with the dress up feature and makes 13-2s adornment system look pretty basic lol
You will notice some schemata have locked abilities and others will have 4 free slots etc. It's pretty cool how you can just put whatever you want and easily switch between them even your reserve schemata. The customization was pretty cool in this game, but the accessories were better in the first game imo (you got 4 there)
Sadly, the idea of saboteur and synergist were nerfed again here. Buffs and debuffs are usually short and temporary at the start of a battle, or via an item. Even the dedicated sab/syn schematas are nerfed because the abilities dont last as long (still useful though)
Hahah! I'm doing that kind of, using outfits that I like with at least some having good and useful abilities for where I am in the game 😹 so many different garbs to choose from! And almost all look absolutely amazing 🙀❤️
I really hope they do more games like this, give me outfit options plz!!
So far into the game I've at least used deprotect 🤓
@@SlashterpieceGamingI was almost always in Yuna summoner, Cloud, and a debilitation garb (forgot its name). The summon one had an extremely op attack called elementa 😂 I knew you'd vibe with this game. You're gonna love the serious aspects of the game too (character progressions/interactions, story, ending etc).
I think it's just 10-2, 13-2 (adornments), 13-3, and 14 with this glamour thing, but 14 is an mmo and a trap imo. It's good but a huge time sink so you'll never have time to play anything else. Adornments are kinda basic though in comparison to dresspheres and garbs
World of Final Fantasy has the cute chibi designs, and really addicting turn based gameplay + monster catching like 13-2, but you stack monsters on your head 😅 but as I said you should wait on that one until you've played 1-15 so you know who all the cameos are
@@nezkeys79omg I need to get into world of final fantasy as well then 😸 I know I have this on my list to play!
I adoooore this concept of switching outfits and having different abilities! And every garb so far looks AMAZING 🙀💖💖💖
@@SlashterpieceGamingyes most garbs look amazing 💖 You get lots of them automatically just through progression but make sure to check shops in towns/villages for new ones as well
It's awesome they gave us the outfits from the previous two, yuna, tidus, Cloud, even Tomb Raider lol
If I recall correctly they coded it so your garb choice is in the cutscenes but not 100% on that
Lightnings character progression across this trilogy is probably my fave of any videogame (barring the characters in TLOU2 which is a different sort of game as not an rpg and about real life in an infected apocalypse, but it's masterpiece imo, and you should play both games and the DLC in the middle). You'll love them and RE6 I'm sure
@@SlashterpieceGamingalso if you want a short game to play between long rpgs (I think it's only like 3 or 4 hours max) then "To The Moon"
The devs of that game made other short emotional stories on a human level.
I went into that game expecting nothing and ended up crying like I do in FF games 😅
Lightning
I would have still recommended easy mode. Not for the difficulty of battles, but just because you get far more EP, so can just spam chronostasis in most areas to never lose time until you want to.
You might still be fine on normal though as on easy I finished everything way early and was just resting doing sidequests (these raise your stats as you don't level up from battles), and sleeping at inns to progress time. You get 13 days which is probably more than enough even on normal
Also, you can increase the max item limit over the course of the game. I think it's like 12 items or something. Maybe even more. I don't remember
I'm going to play it on normal I think it's fine so far 😸 and using the beverage and grocery shop has it's uses hehee! Right now I feel like I'm time managing very good.
@@SlashterpieceGamingyeah that's all it's really about. Knowing when gates open, or when an npc spawns for a quest, and planning your routes each day. The trains take a few hours tho so compensate for that
If you finish all areas early you just sleep to advance time, or spend it finishing up sidequests (which will make you stronger and also if you do a certain number of them there is a secret post credits ending). It's around 50+ quests I think, but barely worth it tho so I wouldn't stress it if it seems to grindy. I enjoyed the sidequests though because it's lightning saving peoples souls and some of them are funny lol Lightning goes on a date with one npc 😅 ❤
@nezkeys79 so far the quests have been very good, I like that each tells a life lesson for us 😸 so I'm going to try to do all that I can find! But we'll see how many of them I can actually find the first playthrough hehee
@@SlashterpieceGamingawesome. Most are easy to track as well but be careful on one or two because you have to keep visiting the npc on multiple days. I think this only makes one sidequest really missable because you have to speak to the npc on 4 consecutive days (so leaving that too late makes it impossible).
@@nezkeys79 Luka and that lady from Yusnaan whom wants to make me drink weird potions? 😹
Snow
Please make a playthrough on Stellar Blade on PS5!!!
I will upload Stellar Blade after Lightning Returns 🤩
I finished Stellar Blade already tho 😹 but I promised LR would be uploaded first regardless.
@@SlashterpieceGaming Cant wait for that, thank you ❣️🫶
Lumina
Did you wait to post the game until you finished it? this game probably was stressful. I know I played probably three times and let the world end because I didn’t
quite understand how to utilize the time stasis thing😅
Snow has been branded by the le’cie for 500 years containing the chaos and keeping everyone in the city, safe on top of being depressed🥹
Nope! I'm almost finished in Yusnaan now, I think with all the side quests? At least 😸 I keep going back and forth to see if I'm missed any hehe!
It is stressful at times! I'm using a lot of chonostasis and trying to time manage the best I can.
Snow 😭💔 him being depressed just makes me so sad!! We've never seen him like this
@@SlashterpieceGamingabout chronostasis you probably already figured this out, but it's a waste to use it in areas where there are not many enemies (like walking around the first town where enemies don't spawn much), because the EP gains are too infrequent and too small
In the other areas, especially at night or on large enemies, you can chain chronostasis to never run out, because the enemies spawn frequently. On easy difficulty, the largest enemies at night give 6 EP I think so it fills the bar instantly. All enemies give less EP on normal, and even less on Hard. I think you're also not healed after every battle like on easy? Or maybe that's just on hard mode I forgot. Hard Mode in this game is brutal 😢
@@nezkeys79yeah that's right! I don't get healed up after every battle, but it's ok since there are grocery and beverage stores 😸 also the general store hehe!
Sorry I dont get all the comments in order at all times, so that's why you see me responding later to some 😹 there's been a massive increase on comments after Rebirth so I'm still going through everything. But I try to focus more on new videos comments and just read the comments on precious videos.
