This is probably the most powerful scene in the entire game. I actually tear up every time I see this. Sazh loses ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING in this scene. And he deserves none of it. Dajh and Sazh are both tragic. And I hate seeing them like this. Yet he's a great character. Vanille has somewhat the blame and yet Sazh knows it's not her fault. Tragic unhappy accidents.
this was a really good game... played it just recently when the pc port finally came out... wow... what a campaign.... forget all the open world criticism.... what a great campaign n riveting storytelling
Man, the parts about sazh broke me, and its hard to imagine how hard it must've been to fight back the urge to not get revenge, and some how later in the game, even forgive vanille.
I don't know what's worse: finding out the person you're trying so hard to protect is responsible for the loss of a loved one or the fact you had to hear the bad news from the bad guy
That's why I only really like this one. After all, it is the original one seeing how the other ones came out solely because people wanted more FFXIII. This was originally the only one that was suppose to come out.
One of the few games that made me cry ! This scene still gives me chills ! Some of the best character development I’ve seen ! Still hoping for a remaster or even backwards compatibility would be amazing !
Sazh and Hope are the best characters because they are just normal unexceptional people caught up in circumstance beyond their control and end up doing extraordinary things.
This scene absolutely broke me. Recently played the game and these two are by far my favorites next to fang. Sahz did not deserve what happened to dahj and vanille did not deserve to be a slave to the falcie doing all their dirty work, unfortunately she had no choice. Throughout the game you can really tell how much vanille regrets doing all the bad stuff. Really felt pity for her.
Yeah I know what kiwi is lol. Actually that makes more sense, she doesn't sound typical aussie, and the New Zealand accent has a different twang. Still as an Englishman, it's not easy to tell the difference.
i didnt like this at first. but after playin ff15 which severly lacked ingame cinematifs , story and character interaction..i feel lke playin this game. even this looks purty great
This is so many LEVELS of tragic Sazh lost his wife, his kid, his home. He's going to turn into a mindless monster. And here's Vanille, this teenage girl he's been protecting. The unintentional master of his lose. Damn! This was so well done. It gives me chills
i love ff13 ( 1-3) so much. if i feel not good somehow i think only just on lightning and to be honest most sometimes vanille. b'cause she is nobodys own girl ( ok fangs girl) but this is ok. i think i love her so much too b'cause she's with girls. for me i believe in a life after this, i am catholic and i know some things are wrong and against my fate. but i can't change what and how i am. this scenes where they show how much vanille is involved and how she really give up and for a short while i think she really is tired and expect sazh would shoot her. its one of the most emotional and truest scene from 13 serie. i mean she was expecting her life ends. her happiness and same time her sadness, not like snow she is someone who fight she is someone who is on her limit and fang is this part who is rude and defense herself. if she were there she would never let sazh do this. she would fight, even if she feels sorry for him. but somehow fang cares more about vanilles life then her. if she would know this awww sazh had trouble then. we are just humans and this one day will come when this life is done. i hope in heaven there is a vanille for everyone. if i'm in heaven i wish i can just hug her, feel her warm skin and her breath and voice who she's whispering in my ears and that she said its ok. i wish everyone his personal heaven even murders, if they really sorry otherwise something like a place not a hell a place where they really should think about and her souls could heal, they should go thrrough ther crime ad victim but everyone deserves salvation some just after they are dead others sooner or later, what should they learn if they just nevet can go in heaven. my personal is really to hug vanille, a friend who lies next to me on the floor watching the rain and is cuddle me. i love vanille she is so cute and really the other dirty things i think may i just not even wish that real love and some kisses. see u in heaven vanille, i think soon❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👩❤️👩⌛️
"Tired of living with guilt? Then die with it." That's so motherf*cking' cold! Vanille is the most cheerful person in our group and the fact that she sees herself this harshly... it's so tragic. She's like 16/17 I think? She's a kid... basically responsible for genocide and that's so... that's so...unfair and messed up. The level of drama in this game is just insane. I love it
I always wondered why Dajh gets encased in crystal after completing his Focus but everyone else in the series becomes a beautiful pure crystal sculpture I thought for a second that this was a trick
Pretty sure it's on Steam by now, worth grabbing for at least one playthrough. The paradigm system is surprisingly fun for combat. And you know the story was solid if you made it this far into the LP ;)
Lmao nope, it would've faded into oblivion, this game was hated because it's bad gameplay wise and story wise, the Final Fantasy name has nothing to do with it lmao
@@angelo423"Faded into oblivion" You say this, while commenting on this video years after the game came out. So it clearly didn't "Fade into oblivion" with you, fucking hypocrite lol
+carefree4all1 Vanille and Fang presumably had those weapons hundreds of years ago, before they first turned to crystal. They reawoke from crystal stasis inside the Vestige during the present timeline. Vanille must have left one inside it when they reawoke -- which would mean she wouldn't have it at Euride Gorge. I'm thinking it's just a small detail they didn't consider, but it's possible, since the Vestige is from Gran Pulse, that there were Pulsian weapons like Vanille's stowed away inside and Vanille just grabbed one when she and Hope returned there. At this point it's probably just one of those "separate the story from the gameplay" things. I mean, you find different types of Vanille staffs throughout Cocoon and Gran Pulse in treasure spheres, so they must be everywhere.
Was it ever explained on why when Dodge completed his assigned task he is encased inside crystal yet when Fang and Vanille complete theirs they are literally turned into crystal instead? Is it cause one is the L'cie of a Cocoon Fal'Cie and the other is a L'cie of a Pulse Fal'Cie ? I've only play FF13 part 1 so far so not sure if this is explained in the part 2 and 3
When you turn to Crystal your clothes come off and crystallize as ribbons around you but Dajh is a child so they can’t do that so yes and no. They probably made it canonical that Pulse L’Cie turn to crystal and Cacoon L’Cie are encased in crystal
It's been a while, but I usually put the relevant songs in the description above. As well as tried to put them on-screen if it was the first time the song played. Is there a timestamp you're looking at?
I felt this could have been 13's "aerith death" moment. If only they had gone through with it, this would have been stand out moment for 13. I liked sazh but I would have killed him off here for that moment. I didn't really like this game but it had its moments.
I'm not a fan of Final Fantasy XIII. Don't like the battle system, the summons and the over the top acting of most characters. However, Sazh is a real gem! He's by far the best character in this game. The voice actor is good and his story is truly touching. For me, he's the Balthier of FFXIII, a secondary character who stole the spotlight.
I would have had a lot more respect for the story of FFXIII if they either allowed Sazh to kill himself, or else showed that Jihl stopped him without the fake-out to leave us wondering. They could even have programmed in something like a hidden meter that went up and down with different actions and which, during this scene, if it is not high enough, Sazh kills himself and is gone from the game. It also makes no sense whatsoever that Jihl would stop Sazh from shooting himself. She was more than happy to let him hunt down Vanille and possibly kill her. Why would she stop him from doing her job for her and offing himself? I also think the Brynhildr boss fight came at the wrong time. Eidolons in this game are supposed to show up when you've given up. And, while Sazh admittedly gives up any hope right before Brynhildr appears, it seems like he also gives up right the fuck after when he, you know, TRIES TO SHOOT HIMSELF. All in all, as powerful as this scene is, it raises far too many issues for it to be my favourite.
You know things have officially hit the fan when the comical characters start crying and trying to kill themselves.
truth
Yea this probably has the most messed up story in the series
This is probably the most powerful scene in the entire game. I actually tear up every time I see this. Sazh loses ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING in this scene. And he deserves none of it.
Dajh and Sazh are both tragic. And I hate seeing them like this. Yet he's a great character. Vanille has somewhat the blame and yet Sazh knows it's not her fault. Tragic unhappy accidents.
Absolutely agree, I love coming back to this every 1/2 years and tearing up every damn time
I feel Sazh I lost a lot of loved ones. I lost my father figure recently last year I didn't deserve it but it happened
Sazh was definitley my favorite cahracter in FF history. Like, I love him.
Same bro.
Reny Bryant I love fang and her lover~
That surveillance footage has some pretty intense camera shots.
I know right
This game needs to be remastered for the PS4. it's too good to ignore.
Agree
It will be. 2017 marks an anniversary for FF, and FFXIII HD port to ps4 is a go!
It's remastered a little on XBOXONEX, best version it is now, I guess
or at least a port
Facts
this was a really good game... played it just recently when the pc port finally came out... wow... what a campaign.... forget all the open world criticism.... what a great campaign n riveting storytelling
Sazh...Best character in the fucking game
Yeah Sazh is a hero man.
@@Deport_All_nonWhites My opinion. Lmao I think it’s crazy that you commented on a 5 year old comment
Man, the parts about sazh broke me, and its hard to imagine how hard it must've been to fight back the urge to not get revenge, and some how later in the game, even forgive vanille.
Where do people find the strength to forgive? I just don't get it
God, that pure look of terror in Sazh's eyes when Dajh get's crystalized...
Literally the best scene in gaming history. Vanille is such a underrated character
I think she should have been the main protagonist.
I don't know what's worse: finding out the person you're trying so hard to protect is responsible for the loss of a loved one or the fact you had to hear the bad news from the bad guy
saddest part of the game :( besides when snow saved hope
This was such an immersive, tranquil and beautifully deep game I wish it never ended.
It's a shame 80 percent of these character, you will never be after this game...
That's why I only really like this one. After all, it is the original one seeing how the other ones came out solely because people wanted more FFXIII. This was originally the only one that was suppose to come out.
@@MomoKanjaki the others came out for no other reason than square needing money. No one wanted sequels
@@HumFanand I'm glad they did. 13-2 is my favorite
One of the few games that made me cry ! This scene still gives me chills ! Some of the best character development I’ve seen ! Still hoping for a remaster or even backwards compatibility would be amazing !
when I played through, I thought sahz really was gonna die.
Sazh and Hope are the best characters because they are just normal unexceptional people caught up in circumstance beyond their control and end up doing extraordinary things.
Sazh is ex-spec ops. He is not normal lol.
This scene absolutely broke me. Recently played the game and these two are by far my favorites next to fang.

I just played this game first time and this was the most intense part.
from the moment i saw Dajh and heard "Daddy, I found you!" i knew i was about to cry
It took me ages to work out that Vanille has an Australian accent
It's actually Kiwi (New Zealand)! :D
Yeah I know what kiwi is lol. Actually that makes more sense, she doesn't sound typical aussie, and the New Zealand accent has a different twang. Still as an Englishman, it's not easy to tell the difference.
***** Yeah, it took me a little, too! I love it though, I think it's the cutest thing.
Cute is right, I never thought I'd wanna sleep with a video game character, but damn she's hot. If only she existed hey
+moxiaXIII No it isn't dude. Do some research before you spout shit.
The voice actor is Georgia Van Cuylenburg. She's an Australian.
this part its so sad, i thought a lot about that cutscene after this difficult fight. this fight i hate it
Definitely my favourite character arc of the game
DAMN YOU, PSICOM AND COCOON! You make Dr. Hojo look like James and Jesse from Pokèmon by comparison!
What a great game ! i cannot believe that i didnt play it in 2009 !
Best scene in the whole game.
9:10 the heels on that thing just ruin the intimidation
Brunhildr is a Valkyrie
Best character ever and best moments, i was so sad for him
One of my favourite scenes in the game. This reveal honestly made the game unforgettable for me.
i didnt like this at first. but after playin ff15 which severly lacked ingame cinematifs , story and character interaction..i feel lke playin this game. even this looks purty great
This is so many LEVELS of tragic
Sazh lost his wife, his kid, his home. He's going to turn into a mindless monster. And here's Vanille, this teenage girl he's been protecting.
The unintentional master of his lose.
Damn!
This was so well done. It gives me chills
I think about this scene everyday. This and "the bird says no" scene. I wish I could replay this game for the first time

"Tired of living with guilt? Then die with it."
That's so motherf*cking' cold! Vanille is the most cheerful person in our group and the fact that she sees herself this harshly... it's so tragic. She's like 16/17 I think?
She's a kid... basically responsible for genocide and that's so... that's so...unfair and messed up.
The level of drama in this game is just insane. I love it
Sazh 100% didn't deserve this
This scene is one of my favorites in the entire FF series.
I always wondered why Dajh gets encased in crystal after completing his Focus but everyone else in the series becomes a beautiful pure crystal sculpture
I thought for a second that this was a trick
Just keep watching, you will see
That fucking Sazh shadow nails it.
I've never played this and this saddens me.
Pretty sure it's on Steam by now, worth grabbing for at least one playthrough. The paradigm system is surprisingly fun for combat. And you know the story was solid if you made it this far into the LP ;)
The Black dude with Guns... 🗿
It's not perfect but it is a good underrated game with a good story, Played it on PC and enjoyed it.
8:55 powerful.
Don't mind me, just enjoying a drama of Shakespearean proportions.
14:45
*"BABYBABYBABYBABYBABY"*
*ORPHEUS APPEARS OUTTA NOWHERE*
"You'd shoot a kid? I hope that blood money's worth it"
I hate how this game receives a lot of hate. If FF13 didn’t have the Final Fantasy Name, it would’ve been more accepted.
Lmao nope, it would've faded into oblivion, this game was hated because it's bad gameplay wise and story wise, the Final Fantasy name has nothing to do with it lmao
@@angelo423 the gameplay and story are both amazing
@@angelo423 Again, go eat ass Angelo, and what's with the "lmaos" as if you're getting some twisted gratification from being a douchebag.

Say what u want, but FF13 is so much better than FF15
Thats so true
3:20 Error: Where did Vanille get that rod? Didn't she just get that inside the Pulse Vestige?
Does that even matter?
+carefree4all1 Vanille and Fang presumably had those weapons hundreds of years ago, before they first turned to crystal.

Brendan Gallagher I think it’s because when everyone else gets crystallized they’re naked but Dajh isnt because he’s a child
When you turn to Crystal your clothes come off and crystallize as ribbons around you but Dajh is a child so they can’t do that so yes and no. They probably made it canonical that Pulse L’Cie turn to crystal and Cacoon L’Cie are encased in crystal
Not to correct your grammar but it's dajh

I'd forgotten how painfully awful the combat in this game was
Ass......have ya eaten it yet?
Sazh sounded better in English. He's one of the few Final Fantasy XIII characters who sound decent in English over Japanese

He's by far the best character in this game. The voice actor is good and his story is truly touching. For me, he's the Balthier of FFXIII, a secondary character who stole the spotlight.
I hated that he didn't kill her. Would of added more of a impact in my opinion instead of the usual fake out that's in media.
People don't have to die for a story to be good Mr. Grim Reaper
