Fɪɴᴀʟ Fᴀɴᴛᴀsʏ Vᴇʀsᴜs XIII

A meeting presdestined by the divine and eyes that see the light of expiring souls

[tenebraetrash17]

Episode Ravus could have been the perfect tribute to Versus, and here's why:

Admittedly, I am rather perturbed about the fact that there is an Episode Noctis when the game itself is supposed to be that. If they did want to make something where Noctis defies fate, it could have been handled in a chapter 13.v2 fashion. 

But Square made it's choice, and I am happy with any new content they put out, soooo....not really a big complaint here.

Although I do feel as if an Episode Noctis is pandering to the Versus fans, especially with the theme. I honestly think that if they wanted a DLC to be about defying fate, and a nod to the beginning, they could have used a character who had been there since day one.

Ravus Nox Fleuret.

The beginning itself could have been a nod to the trailers even!

Ravus on the steps of Tenebrae, watching the Empire advance, getting ready to burn his beloved home to the ground. Instead of the armiger, purple lightning could swirl about him, lashing out and killing the soldiers before he builds up power and launches into the fray, taking down hundreds of soldiers with a single swipe. The movements are clean and elegant, things appear to be looking up, until Tenebrae is engulfed in flames, leaving Ravus standing there in horror. 

Desire for revenge now burning hotter than ever, Ravus heads to Zegnatus, where he finds the empire in shambles, daemons running amok. Why were the halls littered with a lot of uniforms but hardly daemons when Noctis came through? Because Ravus was there, raining death upon them all as he makes his way to the throne room. This is a tale of an antihero, a tale of revenge. You might come across someone in the stages of turning, begging you for help...they're killed in cold blood, not mercy. You learn about the Empire's plight, more of it anyways, since we're getting episode Aranea.

At rest sites, it could be where you are plunged into the realm of dreams, experiencing the past through Ravus' eyes, communicating with Luna or even Queen Sylva, seeing what will come to pass.

There may come a part where Ravus passes by the room of the crystal, which will be the place where you make a choice to head on, to Ravus' death, or approach it. (Which would probably have to be unlocked)

We all know how Ravus dies, so I won't bother you with details. But what if in the Alternate route, Ravus gets a chance to finally accomplish his goal and be a hero, by sacrificing his place in their world to get everything back. The crystal or an entity would take him back in time to fight Leviathan, summoning her in Luna's stead and forcing the goddess to give Noctis the power. We could even have Luna and Noctis in the same scene, running up at the beginning with each other, watching in horror as Ravus brings up the goddess of the sea, and again when he defeats it. Luna could cry out her brother's name as he dissolves into crystal shards, giving her and Noctis one last genuine smile before he bows and vanishes.

With Luna still alive, the light fading barely quickens, and in doing such, it weakens Ardyn. Both Noctis and Luna go into the crystal, the Oracle's power fueling the ring even more, to the point where the holiness washes out the corruption. Ardyn is finally allowed to know peace, due to the maximized power of the ring, imbued with Oracle magic, cleansing him of the scourge.

All this could be playing in the credits, and the last scene could be Noctis and Luna with children, smiling and looking happy before a blue light waves over it, going back into full screen to display it all being watched through a portal of things...or something. 

Want to know how to make it an even bigger tribute to Nomura's versus? Have it end with a plain clothes Ravus stepping off a train, glancing back once more to look at the fading portal, showing his sister's happiness. He could turn and look up with a content, almost sad, smile on his face before he utters his famous saying:

"The World We Know Is Changing...Ending As We Speak. So It Is And Must Be For All Existence."

Now, since Versus XIII was supposed to take place in the XIII universe, want to know how to utilize that? Have Ravus on the same platform as the one in Lightning Returns, with the same shots to make it the perfect way to harken back to the days. This is a little more out there, but it really is something that would be great for the fans. If you hear a voice, and possibly even see as well, from one of the original cast, (probably Lightning or Serah, although Yeul would make a lot of sense too!) asking Ravus in a peaceful tone. "Are you ready?" To which he would nod and walk off the platform, leaving his old world and everything he loved behind, so his sister could have her happily ever after.

Would that not be an excellent way to pay homage to what had started it all?

I realize that this is more of the fanfictiony type, and I apologize, however I do think that it would be an interesting concept for a character DLC and not just a main game extension, which I will admit, is basically Episode Noctis.

This video also helped influence this little idea, it's about some Versus leaks if you want to check it out! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tl1pHfJXLDo

HOW MANY TIMES DID I USE THE WORD "NOD" IN THIS POST?!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII || Verum Rex/Yozora 

[promptistrash]

So.. A few people were asking me what my favourite Promptis moment is.. But.. The sad fact is, that neither of them have actually been included in the game so far. My favourite moments happened long before FFXV became FFXV. My love for Promptis goes way back to 2011, when XV was still called Final Fantasy Versus XIII. I was one of those unfortunate people who waited for trailers to come out every year. *sigh* But to answer the question: Prompto saving Noctis butt in battle before the Citadel, is my most favourite Promptis moment (as shown by the gifs above).

NOCTIS TEASER IN FINAL FANTASY DISSIDIA NT

Still reminiscing on what it could’ve been

Observations — Quadratum's Purpose

Verum Rex is one of the strangest, most bizarre additions to Kingdom Hearts we've seen over the course of its nearly two-decade run. And the main reason is because of its glaring similarities with Final Fantasy Versus XIII. This was a project Tetsuya Nomura had been working on since 2006 alongside Kingdom Hearts and The World Ends With You. Unfortunately, he was removed from the project and replaced with another director sometime after it was repurposed into FFXV. FFVXIII was a passion project for Nomura. It was intended be a heavier, much darker departure from Kingdom Hearts. VXIII was a highly anticipated project that, even till this day, people still want.

So, you can imagine the sheer excitement (and confusion) when a trailer for Verum Rex; a game that looked unmistakably like VXIII, appeared in KHIII. Yozora (the Noctis look-alike) even appeared in KHIII’s secret movie and was the secret boss in Re:Mind. Quadratum, the metropolis featured in Verum Rex and it’s universe (stupidly dubbed “Unreality” but I refuse to call it that) was the focal point of KH:MoM. It’s become increasingly clear that some form of VXIII will be integrated into the second phase of Kingdom Hearts. The questions that everyone’s asking now are “How?” and “Why?” but I think the more important question is, "What could possibly be its purpose?"

Those who’re caught up on KHUX know the Master of Masters’ goal is to defeat The Darkness. Everything that’s happened so far is part of his grand plan. But how does Quadratum and it’s universe factor into it? KH:MoM did a poor job of explaining what’s most likely a parallel universe, but there’s one major thing that stood out: this universe is devoid of light and darkness – unlike the KH universe. In “The Purpose” cutscene with ‘Darkness’, he confesses that the existence of Quadratum’s universe was foreign to him. Emphasis on ‘was’. He’s clearly known about it for a while, and based on his appearance in Quadratum, this universe is an important piece.

In KH:MoM, Yen Sid mentions ancient keyblade masters traveled to another universe. However, it isn’t specified which keyblade masters. The only ones who’ve successfully traversed world lines (that we know of) are the Union Leaders. Ava sent the Union Leaders to ‘another world’ where they stayed until the war ended. Strangely, it was never explained where this world was. During her speech to the Dandelions, she mentioned ‘a world made of dreams’. The Realm of Sleep? The Unchained realm that was never mentioned again? Maybe, but who knows.

The Foretellers could’ve gone to this world after the war. However, that’d depend on whether the Master of Masters told them about that world, and if that world is Quadratum’s universe. If anything he would’ve at least told Luxu and Ava about it since they’re integral to his plan. If so, then that’d explain why Ava was instructed to send the Union Leaders there. Maybe Luxu could’ve sent the Foretellers there after the war ended. He did summon them back (sans Ava) though from ‘where’ is never stated. If that’s the case, then its possible the Master of Masters has been using Quadratum’s universe as a safe haven and a rest stop. It’d make sense considering there’s no light or darkness there.

This is all conjecture though. It's possible that Quadratum’s purpose is to serve as a safe haven/rest stop for those who wish to escape The Darkness. It's a plausible albeit slightly far-fetched explanation. Interestingly enough, he did tell Luxu he wanted to chill for a while. What better place to rest and hide from The Darkness than in a universe devoid of it? But then, what could that mean in the grand scheme of things?

This feels like the first time i saw Split where the special scene after the credits revealed Unbrealable was the prequel for that story despite not being mentioned up till then

I’m just waiting for the TWEWY gang to show up in something that hints at the next KH game, at this point. We know they’re going to be in it, and that TWEWT is crossing over too.
