Cloud / Sephiroth Cross-over FATE / QUEST

[Ryans]

I don't understand why people think Lightning's appearance didn't make sense. I didn't play any of the FFXIII games and even I know she was in some kind of suspended state and some gods are trying to control her. Louisoix sent us five years in the future and he is a normal, although gifted, Elvaan. If something as powerful as one of the twelve gods was toying with reality, I could easily see some hiccups being seen in other places of the FF universe. I'd like to think there is something about Hydaelyn that draws these seemingly supernatural events to occur on that specific planet, but as far as I am aware there is nothing stated to support that yet.

As for people saying ARR didn't have a compelling story; I take the exact opposite position. Maybe it's because I played to the end of 1.0, but ARR had the best story line of any MMO I've played.

Don't todo a cross over event make cloud,sephiroth,Tifa,zidane , Auron etc. all minions just for lols that would be better I think

[silentwindfr]

actually if your use Kingdom heart story as base, is not impossible to see Cloud and Sephiroth come.... but that will be the kingdom heart version, not the one of FF7, the story is finished now.
....even if, the speech in advent children talk of a cycle restarting over and over, means sephiroth can pop out, but i doubt cloud can.

Only if we get to choose which side we're on. I'd love to kill Cloud. Whiny little bitch. Would rather see Kefka from VI.

[Nestama]

Would rather see Kefka from VI.

Sadly, he has suffered an unfortunate "accident" in his own game and is currently incapable of entering the FFXIV world until the year never.

Um, you guys did realize this was just a big marketing trick for Lightning Returns right? You think they did this to please the fans? It's just a giant advertisement. Why would they be interested in advertising for a game they have no more real stock in selling? The only reason would be to make people happy, and SE is in the business of making money, not joy.

Main reason is yes, 1.0 had better cutscenes, and the Scions were more important. The Scions by far were underutilized in ARR, and Cid who had a huge role in 1.0 was brought into ARR without any real connecting as to who he was. For those who experienced him in his pre-beard days, they saw a different man than we did here. All that talk in Praetorium is meaningless for a lot of us, because ARR never worked to make us care about him. When the Scions showed on the final cutscene, it draws more of a ??? from people than a "Ah wow that's awesome!" because ARR made us the super star, when it used to be about the characters in the story. I hated that ARR was about how I was this special snowflake in a sea of normalcy. I wanted to see why everyone else was supposed to be special too. Why I should give a shit about Eorzea, but they failed to do that for me.

Remember Y'Shtola (sp) catching the battleaxe blade first in her hand? Or the Balsar fight where they all tag team him? I like a lot of ARR's story, but the supporting cast in V1 was better, totally.

FFXIV 1.0.

Where women catch people's battle and throwing axes with their hands or fingers. *points at Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn*


But I do agree that the 1.0 storyline made the main npc's look much better. But my favorite part was the storyling after 1.0 when the entire meteor stuff began. Aka the introduction of the Grand companies up to Nael's defeat.

It placed the npc and our character in a equally perfect spotlight. 1.0 had Merlwyb being all badass which I've seen nothing of it during ARR. Mind you the 1.0 storyline before meteor was awful to me. I didn't like getting knocked out most of the time or just being the mute sidekick while the path companion did all the interacting and talking.
