What is the storyline of Final Fantasy 13?

Answer 1

Every game in the Final Fantasy series has a different and unique story line associated with it. One version of one game usually has nothing to do with the next game, meaning final fantasy 7 has nothing to do with final fantasy 8 although they are numbered next to each other. However, each Final fantasy game keeps several elements in each game. The following is a list of what you will find in most, if not all, final fantasy games: Each game deals with someone, usually a teenager, faced with the task of saving the world. Most final fantasy games have an ATB (active time battle) type of battle system. Most if not all Final Fantasy games feature Chocobos, golden birds you can ride across the lands usually for a price. Most games features Espers or summons, creatures you can call to assist you in battle. Most games feature a character knowledgeable in the field of electronics, most of the time it's someone by the name of Cid. You forgot the mole bats, which are inspiration for the moogles!

Final fantasy is a series of video-games, movies, animes, and mangas. The basis of all the final fantasy games is a world, where something huge is wrong, or is going to go wrong. For example, in #1, the elements are disappearing, and four heroes have to save the world from an evil boss. In #7, there's a good guy turned evil that wants to take over the world and become a god - the team of heroes have to ultimately fight him and save the world.

Each of the games have very drastic and unbelievable storylines - I'll give you a brief overview of each of the games, so you get the idea of what it's about.

FFI - This game is set in a world where the elements are disappearing - as the four crystal-wielding warriors of light, you must defeat the four elemental fiends, relight the crystals, defeat the ultimate evil, and save the world from this threat once and for all.

FFII - This game's set in a world where an evil empire wages war across the world, conquering kingdoms and dictating the world - the emperor of this empire wants to become a god, and take over the world. It's the job of the four main heroes of the game to find the ultimate magic and take him down once and for all.

FFIII - This game, originally only released in Japan but now available for DS, is set in a miniscule world atop a giant pillar - the rest of the world beneath is covered in a mass of darkness, and the team must re-light the crystals in each temple and again, defeat the ultimate evil.

From there on, it's pretty much the same basic rule with the storyline - but for every single game they've changed the way in which you equip, level up, and set out your characters. For example in #1 you buy magic for each character and can use it instantly. However in #2 you buy tomes, use them on one character, and the more you use your spells they level up and become more powerful - in #7, you use 'materia', glowing crystals that contain the magic, and become more powerful gradually with each fight.

Each game has a wide variety of side-quests and summons (eidolons/espers), which are creatures that you may call to your aid in each of the games. In all of the games, there's a wide amount of free-roaming and you usually obtain vehicles, such as air-ships, cars, and mystical birds called Chocobos (Google them).

To summarise: Final fantasy is all about monsters, magic, fighting, mystery, storyline (the storylines are VERY deep and complex), I would recommend starting off with FFVI or VII (6 or 7), as they're probably the easiest FF games to play in order to get used to the series, but I'd suggest playing them all as they're all great games!

Sorry that I wrote so much, but there's so much to be said about this great game series!

Answer 3

Some 1,300 years ago, a group fal'Cie constructed a paradise for humanity: the shell-like city of Cocoon, which floats high above the surface of Pulse under the power of the Cocoon fal'Cie Orphan. Then, the Cocoon fal'Cie created life forms and machines for Cocoon's inhabitants to use, and humanity flourished. A war was fought between the fal'Cie of Pulse and the Cocoon fal'Cie, and Cocoon prevailed in what was eventually known as the War of Transgressions. However, fear lingered in the hearts of the people of Cocoon, for the day another invasion might come from the world beneath again. Although most Cocoon citizens have never seen Pulse with their own eyes, they have been told that it is a dangerous place that has strange effects on those who venture down to its surface. Consequently, anyone who is discovered to have been in contact with anything from Pulse is immediately subjected to quarantine and exile by the theocratic government of Cocoon, known as the Sanctum. The Sanctum enforces this policy with its strongest military branch, PSICOM.

As Snow leads the resistance group, NORA, in an attempt to stop the purging of civilians, the mysterious Lightning fights her way past PSICOM soldiers with the aid of Sazh to find a Pulse fal'Cie, Anima, who turned her sister, Serah (who is also Snow's fiancée), into a l'Cie. Through a chain of events, these three, along with two exiles, Vanille and Hope, are forced by the fal'Cie of Pulse to become l'Cie, and with that became enemies of humanity with the Focus of bringing about the downfall of the Orphan, who provides the fal'cie Eden with the energy it needs to run Cocoon. Slaying Orphan would supposedly result in Cocoon's demise.

They each have a different story usually something along the lines of someone who has nothing to do with something getting sucked into a situation to save the world.
