I remember someone joked that at 1:03 she slices a pigeon that was on the ledge, hence the feathers

[kayzaac]

Oh, I remember when this trailer first came out. We called Caius "Purple Hair Guy". Purple Hair Guy vs Pink Hair Lady. Good times.

For me, this was the first time I’d even seen and heard of Lightening.

And, through her, I became interested in Final Fantasy.

This game is 13 years old now, perfect time to play

@KylaOyama It's actually Final Fantasy13 ~The Promise~. It plays on FF13's opening screen, and the same melody is used in the track 'Serah's Theme' and 'The Sunleth Waterscape' but with different arrangements.

Epic ending for a trailer. It's all peaceful and full of renewal and a chance for revival in the beginning, overlapping with Lightning's serene insight on Etro... set to sweet piano.

Then BAM, Glowing swords, Feathers, and rocking Battle theme!

Oh wow! I remember when I watched the ending of FFXIII, I was some what semi-satisfied. Some part of me really wanted a sequel and now there actually is one! I personally loved FFXIII and it's story. It is definitely my favorite of the FF series. So with that being said, I can't wait for FFXIII-2 to come out! Lightning is badass. And that new armor? Makes her even more so.

The little things next to the HP bars where the heads are moving and stuff is awesome, I didn't notice it at first :D I want this game.

[HaishaKafuren]

I remember how hyped I was before this came out. I bought it and played it even though I hadn't finished xiii

[jenniferk.]

I don't get it, why they don't do a movie of final fantasy 13, like this Trailer! I would love it! I would buy it, even it would be expensive..

final fantasy will always have a part in my heart and i know they wont leave lighting out as a playable character at some point yes she may not be the main playable char, but she is a still a very important one to the role of what goes on i have much faith in the series it never lets me down

[Kyarah]

@veritaai Yep. The exceptions are the following :
Compilation of FFVII (FFVII, FFVII Crisis Core, FFVII Before Crisis, the movie FFVII Advent Children and FFVII Dirge of Cerberus)
FFX and it's sequel FFX-2.
And now FFXIII-2 which is FFXIII sequel.

0:44 is there a full length music of it?

[deavionbrown]

i wish the second song they used was a thing...

[XxEldaLyricsxX]

I want to know that music when Lightning goes *SWOSH!*

[mmelloe]

1:10
most badass blade turn of all time

[lilparis]

i didnt care for the gameplay in ff xiii because i dont like selecting actions and all that, but it was still one of the best games ive ever played, simply because the graphics were so beautiful, and the characters did such a good job getting me involved into the story. at points i would be crying and others i would be laughing
this was basically like a really long, greatest movie of all time to me

[wallrush]

awesome lightning looks like a valkyrie :DD

[Shadowsoftheeternal]

The exact song in this video is actually an unreleased version of "Knight of the Goddess". Square is releasing FF13-2's soundtrack "PLUS" in May, which will contain all of the unreleased/unused songs in FF13-2 as well as remixes of current songs.

As of now, "Knight of the Goddess" currently in the game is a remix of this song.
