Ssliasil on 25 November 2013

I'm not going to fill everything in, because there are some huuuuge spoiler stuff for people who havent played each of the games yet, but when you fill in all the pieces...It becomes kinda cool XD...of course other things havent been filled in yet as we havent played the Final Game...or shall we say, the final act? 


Prologue (Poem)

When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end----  (The Fal`Cie)
The goddess descends from the sky ----(Etro) 
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Act I (Poem)

Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky--- (Cocoon) 
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.

Act II (Poem)

There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds--- (Lightning)
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh

Act III (Poem)

My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

Act IV (Poem)

My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left, the bow of the goddess
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely

Act V (Poem)

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice...


Think on that for a moment ;)



...uhh...ill just put my favorite quote of all time here.

"Welcome to Pain, the second of three...You have dealt the first...now deal with me!!"

If thats the case, then why was the game felt like assssss... When Genesis kept on using that poem on Crisis Core, it really felt intriguing

God damn it Square...

Weird stuff, XV will not be much better I think, I will buy it and play it, of course, but I really don´t see much improvement coming so soon =/



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Damn, a twist!

Its kinda like one of those conspiracy theories of people saying that Shinra from FFX-2 is somewhat related to the Shinra corp in FFVII xD.

Both Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega and the Final Fantasy X-2 Ultimania, suggest that Shinra of Final Fantasy X-2 has a connection to the company of the same name in Final Fantasy VII.

From Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega:[1]

    “Shinra is a boy who supports the Gullwings, the group which the main protagonist, Yuna, belongs to. He carries a name that gives him an association to the Shin-Ra Company, and he is researching a method that could utilize the energy of "the life force that flows through our planet." The results of this cannot be seen in FFX-2, but maybe one day his descendants will establish a "company that supplies the energy of the planet"?”

In the Final Fantasy X-2 Ultimania Kazushige Nojima said the following:[1]

    “After quitting the Gullwings, Shinra received enormous financial support from Rin, and began trying to use Vegnagun to siphon Mako Energy from the Farplane. But, he is unable to complete the system for utilizing this energy in his generation, and in the future, when traveling to distant planets becomes possible, the Shin-Ra Company is founded on another world, or something like that....... That would happen about 1000 years after this story, I think.”

Xenogears is also connected to FF7.

Xenogears was originally supposed to be FFVII.

Jenova crashed landed in FF7 world 2000 years ago before Shinra found her and mistook her for a Cetra. So does that make the events of FFX-2 a 2000 year old prequel to FF7?

No. The poem is a replication of the story of Final Fantasy VII itself, as FFXIII was SquEnix's attempt at recapturing FFVII, it's no wonder it it fits in parts.


But if we are on to conspiracy theories, I have a new one and get thism I think a character called Cid is in all FF games.



Hmm, pie.
