Great reaction!! I've really enjoyed watching your playthrough. The 13 series are my favourite FF games, and I hope you will also play Lightning Returns at some point. If you're interested in hearing more of Caius's Eng VA, he also voices Kain Highwind from FF4, and he uses the same exact voice for another manly purple FF character XD I haven't played FF4 so I'm not sure which version of the game has the voice acting, but Kain was featured in Dissidia Duodecim 012 along with Lightning (which I played the hell out of). He also delivers a lot of the most badass lines there. He was also the original Eng VA for Red XIII in Advent Children, but he only had the one line lol
Thank you very much! 😸 I'm glad you've enjoyed the playthrough! Lightning returns will be after Rebirth 🤩 Omg, I have to play FF4 then!! He has such an amazing voice, voice actors are so talented!
Wow. What a journey it has been. We've finally made it to the end...of the main storyline. But since I don't want it to end, I'm looking forward to the last remaining videos. I had a good time watching you experience this amazing game for the first time. So, I'm excited for your playthrough of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Lightning Returns, both of which I've already completed. I must say, it's fun to watch someone else discover and enjoy something I've already come to love...or hate. Yes, Caius is an amazing villain. He's certainly my favourite in the franchise. His rather bleak story and chilling theme song left quite the mark on me the first time round. I still feel it. Not to mention how much fun I had fighting him. If you ever decide to fight him with the Paradox Scope activated, you may or may not be in for a few surprises. I certainly was. If you haven't experienced that yet, good luck. If you already have, I hope you had fun. Until next time. I wish you well. Take care.

Thanks to you I was able to remember one of the Final Fantasy with the best characters, story and lore, I hope you can continue soon with Lightning Returns, it solves many mysteries. Although the gameplay is different from XIII and XIII - 2.

Although I don't think 10 or 12 need it as the remasters have aged well. A remake of 5 or 8 next would make me giddy lol
Good job on those fights. I love the music during the airship sequence. That ending hits you with a swerve and gut punch. Caius might be the most powerful villain. He pretty much accomplishes everything he wanted.
Thank you!! I have the song playing every morning now, while doing my makeup 😹 it's such a mood. Yes! He did didn't he 🙀 it's going to be more interesting playing LR knowing how 13-2 ended.
I really loved your reactions so far. I am happy that more people the last few years give these games a fair chance. I always liked them and often replay these games, but many were unlucky with ff13. So it feels great when people appreciate it more now^^ oh and btw the New World Song was sung by Charice who also was in many talent shows, Ellen D. Show, Oprah and the TV Show Glee, if u know it. Charice even had a duet with Celine Dion back then. After transitioning in 2017 he is known as Jake Zyrus nowadays - i bet i was also a New World for him after his journey.
FF13 and FF13-2 has been amazing! I'm so glad I didn't listen to the criticism of this game, because I can't relate at all. I can't wait to play Lightning Returns 🤩 Ooo I didn't know Charice was on all of those shows! He has an amazing voice! Heheee yes indeed, new world 😸
Such an amazing emotional game and journey. I really cant wait for u to start Lightning returns, my personal fav out of the trilogy. I hope you complete all of the side quest in LR very emotional game, with real life lessons. ❤
@@SlashterpieceGaming yes!! The time might seem daunting and u may fail a couple of times, but honestly its wayyyy more time than u really need (: Some quest you dont wanna miss imo are "the angels tears", "Last date", & "get the girl" cried on all three.
The Noel Caius part ... . . . . . . . . . . . I cried too. It's the events I was talking about that made me connect with him. Also, Caius recalling each Yeul gave me goosebumps as well. I knew you'd get teary here haha 😢❤
The devs really want us all to cry 😹 it was such an emotional part... Especially knowing how much Caius loves Yeul and what he's willing to sacrifice for her spirit to be saved
@@SlashterpieceGaming I'm so thrilled that you're liking 13. I've always loved the characters and 13 seems to attract a lot of unjust hate. LOVED your 13 playthrough and now 13-2 and looking forward to Lightning Returns! (Your 16 playthrough was also great!) And if/when you someday get to all of the others, I'll be so excited to see what you think of FF9! Thanks so much for sharing your playthroughs!
Thank you so much, that means a lot! 😸💖 I absolutely loved 13, 13-2 , it's such an unique story and world building. The character development in 13 is something that I've wanted in other games, never would I imagine a game like this getting hate 🙀 the hate is definitely unjust. After FF7 Rebirth it's going to be Lightning Returns!
Noooooooo sarah!!!!!!!! And really one of the finals that i never thought to see, always you wait a happy ending, but this is nor a good ending it is a bad ending!!!!! That is why i like so much this ending!!!! 🎉🎉 but please we have to see how it is end!!!!
@@SlashterpieceGaming yeah absolutly yeah, great this is not the end, because we can't finish with a bad ending, we need good or perfect endings!!! Jajajajaja
as for the bahamut question, caius was given the power to summon (or merge with i believe) chaos bahamut which is supposed to kill the summoner, but he has etro's heart which means he cant die. meaning he can summon as much as he wants!
i love this trilogy so much , my first ff game , and favorite ff game is 13 trilogy . XV was great but i wasnt too much into the story and characters ,still great !
Caius' Theme is freaking amazing! I've been telling folks for years it's the best of FF! More than One Winged Angel. Caius is the best antagonist!! The theme songs for every character are beautiful, especially their lyrics. I reccomend that you look the lyrics up for Serah, Noel, Caius, and Yuel's themes. They're heartbreaking! This game was definitely a masterpiece hidden in the rough. The alternate endings, the overarching themes, and the fact Caius won is part of why this game is so powerful. Basically, Serah and Caius held the last manifestations of Etro and when they both died, it ended time and the Goddess. I am SO EXCITED for your Lightning Returns playthru! Once again, I hope the devs saw some of your videos. You loved and cherished this game the way they always meant for it to be. Thank you for sharing your joy and journey with us!
YEEEES!! Caius theme is hands down better than one winged angel. It's so powerful! 🙀 The character themes are amazing as well. Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the playthrough 😸🎉
Incredibly fun playthrough! You've definitely made me see 13 in a different way. Had tons of fun watching! Yeul cosplay when?! I can't help but be reminded now when I see you =) blue hair and that's you.And all it took was for someone else to mention it haha
I'm glad you had fun and have a different opinion about FF13 and 13-2! 😸 That's so interesting! I don't see the resemblance, but I never do anyway haha! 😹
I loved it!! So glad I have yet another FF13 game to move on to, because if this was THE final ending I'd be rolled up in a blanket crying myself to sleep 😹
@@SlashterpieceGamingagreed. You will instantly recognize Liams voice in any other games you play with him in now as well (and Serah's voice actor Laura Bailey who's played many awesome characters in my fave games)
Don't worry. Everyone who loved this game bawled like a baby too ❤😢 You will get a more satisfactory ending from Lightnings DLC I'd recommend playing LR asap tbh (so you keep the flow fresh in your mind) but if you're doing Rebirth first it will have to wait.
Yeah I have to do Rebirth first, since I've been waiting forever for the sequel 😹 but no worries, since the story and the characters has been so interesting- I usually don't forget story related stuff! I'll still be collecting fragments tho to see if there's any hidden information 🤩 love playing detective.
The singer of New World is filipino Charice Pempengco ❤ Awesome song ❤ If you're confused when you look her up it's because she transitioned to a man and is now called Jake Zyrus
Ooooh is that so! I didn't search her/him up, only on Spotify to add the song to my morning routine of skincare and makeup time 😹 I'm obsessed with the song, and the vooooice ughhhh soo beautiful!
I'm proud of you, Princess Ninja. In the heat of the moment, you made the right choice despite your empathy for Caius. We knew Caius was trying to kill himself from earlier accounts, so even had you chosen to spare him, I think he'd have forced your hand. Good ending. A little sappy for my tastes, but a solid conclusion. And Kupo is still alive ...
Yeey! 😸 I think so too, even though I went with "finish him" Noel stopped me anyway!! That was a bit interesting. It felt a bit bittersweet when we actually failed in the end 😹 but! There's a third and final game!
@@SlashterpieceGaming LOL - I think you succeeded against what the game intended. They clearly wrote this story with two parts in mind. Stopping Caius was the goal of part 1, and I am guessing that in part 2 you need to "end" the goddess somehow. Maybe Yuehl becomes the new goddess? I guess we'll see.
@WowbaggerTheInfinitelyProlonge The goddess Etro is already slayed because of the heart of chaos that Caius had. So with killing him, the chaos was unleashed into the world.. and there is no one shepherding the souls of the dead 🙀 so cycle of birth and death does not exist as it did... Which means no more life can be created 🥲 we'll see what Lightning does in the 3rd game. In the end she was a stone/crystal statue..
@@SlashterpieceGaming LOL - whenever an important character "dies" in a game or fantasy story, I always expect that they are not really dead, or only temporarily dead - especially in a story with time travel. So we'll see. If the goddress is not re-born, then someone else will take her place, I suspect.
@WowbaggerTheInfinitelyProlonge We will see! I suspect that it's Lightning, since she has "taken the throne" of the Goddess. This game series really made me interested in time travel /metaverse.. so much can happen!
The end already? You will run out of final fantasies fast at this pace! 😳 Hope you are well, I will finally watch Dune part 2 now and get to this episode after that 😊 couldnt see Dune in the cinema cause of my injury so I am very excited. Have a nice day and stay healthy 🍀
Ooo I've yet to see Dune 2! Hope it's as good as the first one 🙀🎉 Hehe! The story felt a bit short in this FF but I've got plenty of Final fantasy games left 😹 FF7 rebirth now! But there's still gonna be 3 more episodes of this one. Because of DLCs 🤩 You too, have a nice day and take care! 🍀
@@SlashterpieceGamingI suggest them in this order... LR > 15 > 12 > 1-6 > World of FF There's also spin offs like Crystal Chronicles, Stranger of Paradise, Vincents game etc. The mmo's are fantastic imo but very time consuming. Lots more games to get through but I'm happy with whatever you do in this franchise
@nezkeys79 I played DoC with Vincent 🤩 he's s fave of mine! I'm probably gonna play it again just to have it recorded. Your order is how I was actually planning the FF playthroughs after Rebirth!
@@BritneyPixelswell firstly, I've already asked her about this, and she said she prefers seperate comments so 🤷 Secondly, it's still not "spamming all the time". Thirdly, if you mean replying to other people's posts it's called engaging with her other followers. Keeping my interactions with "only her" on my comments is anti-social and weird imo. It's a community and I'm sure she would want her followers to talk to each other. I don't care who replies to my comments and I wouldn't get offended like you are doing. It's a comments section on a RUclips video that is there for people to talk. She probably prefers it this way for the same reason as me (that reading a novel/wall of text in one post is worse than just typing separate posts). Plus, each comment deserves its own thread rather than replying to 10 things in one post. If I have misunderstood her and she thought it was "messy" I'm sure she would have just said that before letting me post 10+ comments on hundreds of videos over the past few years. Doesn't sound like the actions of someone who has an issue with it. It's her channel not yours, so why are you gatekeeping who can and can't comment on her videos, and how they can? I've seen you "mini mod" other peoples comments and never said anything about it. About being excited...she plays my favourite games that I have lots of nostalgia for, and truly understands them on a deep emotional level. Hardly surprising I get excited at the finale of one of my all time fave games being played by my fave youtuber, and you have to make some weird issue out of it 🤷
@@SlashterpieceGamingI never got to play DoC. It's kind of annoying to play now if you don't emulate or own a ps2 and pay (probably) overpriced amounts on ebay because of rarity. Its a shooter I think?
Jag har verkligen älskat att se dig spela igenom detta spel och jag ser väldigt mycket fram emot att se hur du reagerar på alla paradox endings och även DLCs, min gissning när det gäller Colosseumet är att du förmodligen inte kunde besegra alla bossar där då man behöver ha maxat ut crystarium för Serah, Noel och tre starka monster i sitt party. Jag skulle dock vara otroligt imponerad om du klarade det med de stats som du har nu. 😄 Din let´s play är min absoluta favorit av de personer som jag sett spela detta spel och jag ser fram emot det du har kvar att göra här och även hur du kommer att reagera på Lightning Returns! 😊 (Jag försökte dela upp en lång kommentar så det är anledningen till att jag lämnar två kommentarer så att de inte försvinner med en gång)
Men ååååå tack så hemskt mycket, vad glad jag blir! 😸 Jag slog ihop alla paradox endings i en video så man slipper vänta på nästa hehee. Jadu, colosseumet kan jag säga att jag fick RÅ STRYK 😹 men nu måste jag ju försöka klå gubbarna där så att se kan bli rekryterade haha!! Ingen fara, det blir lättare för mig att svara på kommentaren också när den är uppdelad. Särskilt på mobilen 😸
@SlashterpieceGaming I've noticed something that happens on youtube videos in the last few years (not just yours, it's every video). If I am typing a long message and an ad plays, the whole message just disappears at some point...probably when the creators video resumes) That's another reason why I started writing smaller comments split up ;)
@nezkeys79 Oooh!! I never realized this 🙀 well, as you know I do prefer the split up comments since it's easier for me to answer as well, since I answer 99.9% of the comments on my phone... And it's easier to see the whole comment I'm answering without having to copy and paste my whole message just to scroll the comment and continue typing 😹
@SlashterpieceGaming yeah I have no clue why RUclips does this (or whether its an issue with my phone, but it can be annoying when you lose a message you've spent 10 mins typing)
Slutet är det sorgligaste jag någonsin har sett i ett spel och jag var nedstämd flera dagar efteråt, det som gjorde det värre var också att jag faktiskt var förälskad i Serah (jag vet att hon är förlovad med Snow men man kan inte alltid rå för sina känslor) och en annan sak är att vid den tidpunkten så fanns det ingen Lightning Returns även om det var planen att göra ett tredje spel så kan man aldrig vara helt säker på att det faktiskt sker. Det hade varit ett hemskt och tragiskt om det slutade så här, men tack och lov så har vi ett till spel och jag kommer ihåg att jag blev jätteglad när det annonserades att Lightning Returns skulle komma ut, jag minns också att jag hade mycket tankar och teorier med min bror om vad som skulle hända i det spelet.
Jag förstår dig till 100%! Man kan verkligen inte få för sina känslor, det är som det är 😹 Åååå vilken ångest jag hade fått utav det!!

ff6 is a good game I recommend, but I love 13-2 I can’t believe this ended I feel like it was yesterday you started, I hope you do some stuff in this game!
I am glad you really liked this ending. I didn’t liked it at all the first time I played this game in 2020. I didn’t completely hated it but in General this game was a huge disappointment for me after FF13. Maybe because my expectations where to high. But for me this game felt way to easy combat wise. Some things they really made better with this game and other things completely worse in comparison to the first one. And I also wasn’t a huge Fan of this time travel stuff. But FF13-2 kinda grew on me with a second Playthrough to All Achievements and multiple watches on how other people played it. Overall I would say 13-2 is my least favorite of the Trilogy but I still like it at least nowadays. And Caius and the other characters I really liked from the beginning, just the story felt way to short in comparison to the first FF13.
That's valid! Hard to beat the first one 😸 antagonist in the first game wasn't too good, if it would've been Caius now THAT would've been fun. But also, wouldn't make much sense since we wouldn't have been able to "beat him" if it weren't for time travel 😹 excited for LR!!
@@SlashterpieceGaming Excited for that as well. Will watch your FF13-2 DLCs and Paradox Endings too. Lightning Returns I liked way more then FF13-2, I hope you like it too. The opinions about these games are so extreme sometimes.
@@SlashterpieceGaming oh man. I really love to see you laugh on this because your laugh is so adorable and cute to me that why laugh is my favorite reaction in your videos especially ff 7 remake, rebirth had such cute laughs on what i love
@@SlashterpieceGamingI suck at using them. I used them in skyrim on ps4 and stuff messed up. They also disable trophies. I also used a graphics one in FF11 and it screwed everything up irreversibly I had to re install the game and it was still messed up 😢
Ff1-3 is very generic and not really interesting, 4 onwards the story starts having meaning... FF6 i've not finished entirely, but its easily the best of them. Also i know how lightning returns ends.... But I've never finished it, its a bit of a slog honestly.
I like the opening movie for FF3 on DS/PC/Phones (the version with remade graphics) a lot. It has that FF charm that instantly draws me in, but yeah, (probably already aware of the following), I think they're commonly referred to as generic because FF4 was where they brought in atb bars instead of the standard turn based, so they are quite simple in design (but still can be challenging). 10 would make a return to turn based in spectacular fashion, though. It's impossible for me to rate 1-3 above any other game in the franchise tbh, but I still enjoy them
To be continued... 😮😮😮
GG!! 👏 I'm so happy you liked the game! 💙
Yeeey! Can't wait to play LR 🥹💖
Great reaction!! I've really enjoyed watching your playthrough. The 13 series are my favourite FF games, and I hope you will also play Lightning Returns at some point.

Good job on those fights. I love the music during the airship sequence.
That ending hits you with a swerve and gut punch.
Caius might be the most powerful villain. He pretty much accomplishes everything he wanted.
She hasn't played FF15 yet so I suggest you edit your comment
@@JJ_st4r I got you
Thank you!! I have the song playing every morning now, while doing my makeup 😹 it's such a mood.
Yes! He did didn't he 🙀 it's going to be more interesting playing LR knowing how 13-2 ended.
Excited to start your LR playthrough tomorrow! 🤍
Yeey!! 🎉🎉
I really loved your reactions so far. I am happy that more people the last few years give these games a fair chance. I always liked them and often replay these games, but many were unlucky with ff13. So it feels great when people appreciate it more now^^ oh and btw the New World Song was sung by Charice who also was in many talent shows, Ellen D. Show, Oprah and the TV Show Glee, if u know it. Charice even had a duet with Celine Dion back then. After transitioning in 2017 he is known as Jake Zyrus nowadays - i bet i was also a New World for him after his journey.
FF13 and FF13-2 has been amazing! I'm so glad I didn't listen to the criticism of this game, because I can't relate at all. I can't wait to play Lightning Returns 🤩
Ooo I didn't know Charice was on all of those shows! He has an amazing voice! Heheee yes indeed, new world 😸
Such an amazing emotional game and journey. I really cant wait for u to start Lightning returns, my personal fav out of the trilogy. I hope you complete all of the side quest in LR very emotional game, with real life lessons. ❤
Oooh I really hope I find all the quests! Since it has a time limit 🙀 I don't want to miss out on any. I'll play Lightning Returns after Ff7 Rebirth 😸
@@SlashterpieceGaming yes!! The time might seem daunting and u may fail a couple of times, but honestly its wayyyy more time than u really need (: Some quest you dont wanna miss imo are "the angels tears", "Last date", & "get the girl" cried on all three.

I cried too. It's the events I was talking about that made me connect with him. Also, Caius recalling each Yeul gave me goosebumps as well. I knew you'd get teary here haha 😢❤
The devs really want us all to cry 😹 it was such an emotional part... Especially knowing how much Caius loves Yeul and what he's willing to sacrifice for her spirit to be saved
@@SlashterpieceGaming"a yeul who loved to sing", "a yeul who liked flowers" 🤯😱😭
@@SlashterpieceGamingone of those games is TLOU2 (one of my all time fave games). She's also in Nier Replicant and Star Ocean 4 for example
Ending was emotional 😭❤
RIGHT! 😭
Hiiii!
I'm a new subscriber, I'm so happy someone gave this game another chance on YT🧡
YEEY! Welcome! Hope you enjoy my playthrough 😸 I have Lightning Returns to do next. Will be uploaded after FF7 Rebirth.
@@SlashterpieceGaming i can't wait!
The similarities between this game and FF7 is crazy I find it interesting how many similarities Serah has with Aerith
Now that you mention it, she does feel like younger Aerith ( Crisis Core)
I remember finishing and seeing that ending on launch! I was SO SAD to see that "to be continued..." It was a LONG WAIT and I was not prepared.
Omg I feel you!! I would've not been prepared either 🙀 lucky for me to find it muuuch later 😹
@@SlashterpieceGaming I'm so thrilled that you're liking 13. I've always loved the characters and 13 seems to attract a lot of unjust hate. LOVED your 13 playthrough and now 13-2 and looking forward to Lightning Returns! (Your 16 playthrough was also great!) And if/when you someday get to all of the others, I'll be so excited to see what you think of FF9! Thanks so much for sharing your playthroughs!
Thank you so much, that means a lot! 😸💖
I absolutely loved 13, 13-2 , it's such an unique story and world building. The character development in 13 is something that I've wanted in other games, never would I imagine a game like this getting hate 🙀 the hate is definitely unjust.
After FF7 Rebirth it's going to be Lightning Returns!
Noooooooo sarah!!!!!!!! And really one of the finals that i never thought to see, always you wait a happy ending, but this is nor a good ending it is a bad ending!!!!! That is why i like so much this ending!!!! 🎉🎉 but please we have to see how it is end!!!!
Final fantasy games really do like to end with making the player cry 😹 they are specialists!
Good that it's not the end yet!
@@SlashterpieceGaming yeah absolutly yeah, great this is not the end, because we can't finish with a bad ending, we need good or perfect endings!!! Jajajajaja
@@SlashterpieceGaming and hey I hope you always carry paper for the crying moments, you always make me feel to cry too see your reactions
@diegoarturomanriquesiles2019 Exactly!!!
as for the bahamut question, caius was given the power to summon (or merge with i believe) chaos bahamut which is supposed to kill the summoner, but he has etro's heart which means he cant die. meaning he can summon as much as he wants!
That's such a OP move 🙀
i love this trilogy so much , my first ff game , and favorite ff game is 13 trilogy .
XV was great but i wasnt too much into the story and characters ,still great !
So far the FF13 trilogy has been a blast! Gonna play Lightning Returns after Rebirth 😸 eventually will play XV too.
@@SlashterpieceGaming cool, i just finished rebirth ! amazing game
@Gaamer_93 Oooh! I have such high hopes, veeeery excited 🤩
Paradox endings are different endings. but this was indeed the true ending for the main story campaign.
Caius' Theme is freaking amazing! I've been telling folks for years it's the best of FF! More than One Winged Angel. Caius is the best antagonist!! The theme songs for every character are beautiful, especially their lyrics. I reccomend that you look the lyrics up for Serah, Noel, Caius, and Yuel's themes. They're heartbreaking!
This game was definitely a masterpiece hidden in the rough. The alternate endings, the overarching themes, and the fact Caius won is part of why this game is so powerful. Basically, Serah and Caius held the last manifestations of Etro and when they both died, it ended time and the Goddess. I am SO EXCITED for your Lightning Returns playthru!
Once again, I hope the devs saw some of your videos. You loved and cherished this game the way they always meant for it to be. Thank you for sharing your joy and journey with us!
YEEEES!! Caius theme is hands down better than one winged angel. It's so powerful! 🙀 The character themes are amazing as well.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the playthrough 😸🎉
BABY I'M GONNA SEE THE NEW WORLD WITH NOTHING BUT THE LOVE YOU GAVE ME🎶🎶🎶
New World is an insanely good ending theme ❤

crazy after all this time noel doesnt hate caius, he wants to bring him back to reality and on the right side!
Noel truly is noble, because most ppl would not give that chance. Made me like him more 😸

@@SlashterpieceGaming weirdly enough I never played the 3rd but the first two a ton. So I’m excited to see you play! Haha :]
I love how you get chills everytime Caius makes an appearance 😮❤
He just has such a strong presence! The emotions in his face, his character, the dialogue and that VOICE 😹
@@SlashterpieceGamingagreed. You will instantly recognize Liams voice in any other games you play with him in now as well (and Serah's voice actor Laura Bailey who's played many awesome characters in my fave games)
Don't worry. Everyone who loved this game bawled like a baby too ❤😢 You will get a more satisfactory ending from Lightnings DLC
I'd recommend playing LR asap tbh (so you keep the flow fresh in your mind) but if you're doing Rebirth first it will have to wait.
Yeah I have to do Rebirth first, since I've been waiting forever for the sequel 😹 but no worries, since the story and the characters has been so interesting- I usually don't forget story related stuff! I'll still be collecting fragments tho to see if there's any hidden information 🤩 love playing detective.
@@SlashterpieceGaminglol nothing will get past the pirate queen 🏴☠️ 👸
The singer of New World is filipino Charice Pempengco ❤ Awesome song ❤
If you're confused when you look her up it's because she transitioned to a man and is now called Jake Zyrus
Ooooh is that so! I didn't search her/him up, only on Spotify to add the song to my morning routine of skincare and makeup time 😹 I'm obsessed with the song, and the vooooice ughhhh soo beautiful!
@@SlashterpieceGaminghe/she still sings. Great voice
I'm proud of you, Princess Ninja. In the heat of the moment, you made the right choice despite your empathy for Caius. We knew Caius was trying to kill himself from earlier accounts, so even had you chosen to spare him, I think he'd have forced your hand. Good ending. A little sappy for my tastes, but a solid conclusion. And Kupo is still alive ...
Yeey! 😸 I think so too, even though I went with "finish him" Noel stopped me anyway!! That was a bit interesting.
It felt a bit bittersweet when we actually failed in the end 😹 but! There's a third and final game!
@@SlashterpieceGaming LOL - I think you succeeded against what the game intended. They clearly wrote this story with two parts in mind. Stopping Caius was the goal of part 1, and I am guessing that in part 2 you need to "end" the goddess somehow. Maybe Yuehl becomes the new goddess? I guess we'll see.
@WowbaggerTheInfinitelyProlonge The goddess Etro is already slayed because of the heart of chaos that Caius had. So with killing him, the chaos was unleashed into the world.. and there is no one shepherding the souls of the dead 🙀 so cycle of birth and death does not exist as it did... Which means no more life can be created 🥲 we'll see what Lightning does in the 3rd game. In the end she was a stone/crystal statue..
@@SlashterpieceGaming LOL - whenever an important character "dies" in a game or fantasy story, I always expect that they are not really dead, or only temporarily dead - especially in a story with time travel. So we'll see. If the goddress is not re-born, then someone else will take her place, I suspect.
@WowbaggerTheInfinitelyProlonge We will see! I suspect that it's Lightning, since she has "taken the throne" of the Goddess. This game series really made me interested in time travel /metaverse.. so much can happen!
The end already? You will run out of final fantasies fast at this pace! 😳 Hope you are well, I will finally watch Dune part 2 now and get to this episode after that 😊 couldnt see Dune in the cinema cause of my injury so I am very excited. Have a nice day and stay healthy 🍀
Ooo I've yet to see Dune 2! Hope it's as good as the first one 🙀🎉
Hehe! The story felt a bit short in this FF but I've got plenty of Final fantasy games left 😹 FF7 rebirth now! But there's still gonna be 3 more episodes of this one. Because of DLCs 🤩
You too, have a nice day and take care! 🍀
@@SlashterpieceGamingI suggest them in this order...
LR > 15 > 12 > 1-6 > World of FF
There's also spin offs like Crystal Chronicles, Stranger of Paradise, Vincents game etc. The mmo's are fantastic imo but very time consuming. Lots more games to get through but I'm happy with whatever you do in this franchise
@nezkeys79 I played DoC with Vincent 🤩 he's s fave of mine! I'm probably gonna play it again just to have it recorded. Your order is how I was actually planning the FF playthroughs after Rebirth!
@@BritneyPixelswell firstly, I've already asked her about this, and she said she prefers seperate comments so 🤷 Secondly, it's still not "spamming all the time". Thirdly, if you mean replying to other people's posts it's called engaging with her other followers. Keeping my interactions with "only her" on my comments is anti-social and weird imo. It's a community and I'm sure she would want her followers to talk to each other. I don't care who replies to my comments and I wouldn't get offended like you are doing. It's a comments section on a RUclips video that is there for people to talk.
She probably prefers it this way for the same reason as me (that reading a novel/wall of text in one post is worse than just typing separate posts). Plus, each comment deserves its own thread rather than replying to 10 things in one post.
If I have misunderstood her and she thought it was "messy" I'm sure she would have just said that before letting me post 10+ comments on hundreds of videos over the past few years. Doesn't sound like the actions of someone who has an issue with it. It's her channel not yours, so why are you gatekeeping who can and can't comment on her videos, and how they can? I've seen you "mini mod" other peoples comments and never said anything about it.
About being excited...she plays my favourite games that I have lots of nostalgia for, and truly understands them on a deep emotional level. Hardly surprising I get excited at the finale of one of my all time fave games being played by my fave youtuber, and you have to make some weird issue out of it 🤷
@@SlashterpieceGamingI never got to play DoC. It's kind of annoying to play now if you don't emulate or own a ps2 and pay (probably) overpriced amounts on ebay because of rarity. Its a shooter I think?

Jag har verkligen älskat att se dig spela igenom detta spel och jag ser väldigt mycket fram emot att se hur du reagerar på alla paradox endings och även DLCs, min gissning när det gäller Colosseumet är att du förmodligen inte kunde besegra alla bossar där då man behöver ha maxat ut crystarium för Serah, Noel och tre starka monster i sitt party. Jag skulle dock vara otroligt imponerad om du klarade det med de stats som du har nu. 😄

@SlashterpieceGaming I've noticed something that happens on youtube videos in the last few years (not just yours, it's every video). If I am typing a long message and an ad plays, the whole message just disappears at some point...probably when the creators video resumes)
That's another reason why I started writing smaller comments split up ;)
@nezkeys79 Oooh!! I never realized this 🙀 well, as you know I do prefer the split up comments since it's easier for me to answer as well, since I answer 99.9% of the comments on my phone... And it's easier to see the whole comment I'm answering without having to copy and paste my whole message just to scroll the comment and continue typing 😹
@SlashterpieceGaming yeah I have no clue why RUclips does this (or whether its an issue with my phone, but it can be annoying when you lose a message you've spent 10 mins typing)
@nezkeys79 It's very good to know! Yet another reason to just type several comments 😎
Slutet är det sorgligaste jag någonsin har sett i ett spel och jag var nedstämd flera dagar efteråt, det som gjorde det värre var också att jag faktiskt var förälskad i Serah (jag vet att hon är förlovad med Snow men man kan inte alltid rå för sina känslor) och en annan sak är att vid den tidpunkten så fanns det ingen Lightning Returns även om det var planen att göra ett tredje spel så kan man aldrig vara helt säker på att det faktiskt sker. Det hade varit ett hemskt och tragiskt om det slutade så här, men tack och lov så har vi ett till spel och jag kommer ihåg att jag blev jätteglad när det annonserades att Lightning Returns skulle komma ut, jag minns också att jag hade mycket tankar och teorier med min bror om vad som skulle hända i det spelet.
Jag förstår dig till 100%! Man kan verkligen inte få för sina känslor, det är som det är 😹
Åååå vilken ångest jag hade fått utav det!! Att inte veta om det kommer en uppföljare 🙀💦 fasen vad lycklig du måste ha blivit när nyheten kom ut om Lightning Returns!

ff6 is a good game I recommend, but I love 13-2 I can’t believe this ended I feel like it was yesterday you started, I hope you do some stuff in this game!
Right!! Story is too short for an amazing game lite this 🥲 but it's not the end! Will do DLCs and Paradox endings
I am glad you really liked this ending. I didn’t liked it at all the first time I played this game in 2020. I didn’t completely hated it but in General this game was a huge disappointment for me after FF13. Maybe because my expectations where to high. But for me this game felt way to easy combat wise. Some things they really made better with this game and other things completely worse in comparison to the first one. And I also wasn’t a huge Fan of this time travel stuff. But FF13-2 kinda grew on me with a second Playthrough to All Achievements and multiple watches on how other people played it. Overall I would say 13-2 is my least favorite of the Trilogy but I still like it at least nowadays. And Caius and the other characters I really liked from the beginning, just the story felt way to short in comparison to the first FF13.
That's valid! Hard to beat the first one 😸 antagonist in the first game wasn't too good, if it would've been Caius now THAT would've been fun. But also, wouldn't make much sense since we wouldn't have been able to "beat him" if it weren't for time travel 😹 excited for LR!!

Ff1-3 is very generic and not really interesting, 4 onwards the story starts having meaning... FF6 i've not finished entirely, but its easily the best of them.
Also i know how lightning returns ends.... But I've never finished it, its a bit of a slog honestly.
Ooo is that so! I know absolutely nothing about FF 1-6, only that one of them has the clown villain? He's super scary looking 🙀💦
@@SlashterpieceGaming Yeah that's 6, it's super good!!
I've slowly been going through pixel remasters and am up to 4 at the moment.
I like the opening movie for FF3 on DS/PC/Phones (the version with remade graphics) a lot. It has that FF charm that instantly draws me in, but yeah, (probably already aware of the following), I think they're commonly referred to as generic because FF4 was where they brought in atb bars instead of the standard turn based, so they are quite simple in design (but still can be challenging). 10 would make a return to turn based in spectacular fashion, though.
It's impossible for me to rate 1-3 above any other game in the franchise tbh, but I still enjoy them
