Yesterday we got final fantasy 13! So far the story is pretty good and strong as it usually is.The story(if you haven't already heard) is about an unsuspecting band of strangers who end up enemy's of the government of Cocoon(a city floating in the sky) because they were near the place in cocoon where a Pulse Fal'cie(Pulse is the supposedly demon filled lowerworld beneath Cocoon and Fal'cies are the guardian spirits of Cocoon ) was discovered. As the government believe that anyone who has been in contact with anything from Pulse is corrupt and evil they start the Purge, which (as the main character Lightning puts it)is massacre parading as exile.Snow(Another one of the main characters)goes into the vestige(a Fal'cies equivalent of a house)to rescue his loved one,Sarah, from the clutches of the Pulse Fal'cie, but it turns out that she is now a L'cie(a cursed servant of a Fal'cie.) When they find her she warns them to save Cocoon,when all of a sudden she becomes a crystal.Driven by revenge both Snow and Lightning(Who came to the same place by a different path) go deeper into the vestige and,despite the fact that the Sanctum(another name for the government of Cocoon) is trying to destroy it. When they and their friends(Sazh,who has a chocobo(A big yellow chicken thing) chick for a friend, Hope,who actually feels pretty hopeless, and Vanille,who has an irritating voice but is always seemingly quite happy and carefree.) find the Pulse Fal'cie. They attempt to destroy it, but to no avail. When it's shell closes up again they finally think they have defeated it when, all of a sudden, it comes out in it's full form. It then brands them L'cie, before the vestige drops to the bottom of Cocoon. Now they are lost, and they have no idea how to complete the task that the Fal'cie has given them.
This game is awesome and if you can, you should get it!
