Final Fantasy XIII-2/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance
"Serah: "Hey Lightning, we'll be able to be together again, right? When this is all over?" Lightning: "One thing at a time, Serah.""
 * Caius wants to create a timeless world. In another word, he plans to achieve Time Compression.
 * It should be impossible that  The brilliance comes in the fact that
 * The Pacos Amethyst and Rubrite boss fight are a lot like the Devola and Popola boss fight.
 * Heck just compare 'Father' Nier with Caius and you can see a resemblance.
 * Gets even better when you notice that Yeul's theme is extremely similar to Yonah's theme in Nier
 * Fans may rage over the "Crazy Chocobo" theme, but when you think about it, it actually makes a lot of sense: it plays when you ride Chocobos that have been corrupted by the Paradox. Seeing as a Paradox is something that 'doesn't fit' in a particular timeline, it follows that the theme 'doesn't fit' when compared with the other Chocobo themes in the series. It's an anomaly: something that 'shouldn't be', but is. Hence the Genre Busting.
 * Possible Fridge Brilliance. In the mythology, it says that Bhunivelze (the god, ) will sleep until the end of time. Well, at the ending... Sequel Hook, or Breaking the Fourth Wall tease of upcoming DLC?
 * I'm not sure if this is Fridge Brilliance or Fridge Horror (or even if it deserves a spoiler tag). But I thought of something kind of heartbreaking after seeing this exchange between the Farron sisters,

 * Also during that cutscene: during Lightning's transformation sequence, if you look closely, you can see I think she

Fridge Horror

 * Notice there are no Adamantoise, Adamanchelids, or Adamantortoises? No? That because you drove them into extinction in Final Fantasy XIII, you MONSTER!
 * Not completely though; in certain weather, you can find one Adamantortoise guarding the entrance to the area where you fought the flan-eating monster with the distortion inside. It's more of a nod to FFXIII than a common enemy, though.
 * Also, there are still Long Gui's who are members of the -oise family.
 * Yes but what I mean is Long Gui Replaced them and if you do the missions in Final Fantasy XIII in number order you just wiped out the last of the weaker Adamantoises by killing the Adamanchelid in mission 33 and the Adamantortoise in mission 63.
 * In Academia 400AF, when Adam starts turning citizens to Cieth left right and center, some of the Ghouls in the first areas will begin the battle by using a Remedy on themselves.
 * The soundtrack of any game or movie can give much of what will happen away, but that's if you can guess the context behind the song, that is, if you listen to it before experiencing the story. This troper listened to the full OST before playing the game and at first thought it a weird twist to put Caius' theme at the very beginning of the Ending Credits, compared to the previous game doing otherwise.  What better theme to tack onto the beginning to the ending credits in light of what just happened? It's enough of a thought to turn a beautiful character theme into a very chilling piece of music.
 * Whatever happened to all the allying monsters ?
 * We know from Academia tower 200 AF that

Fridge Logic

 * The escalators in Academia make no sense. They're probably meant to seem futuristic, but we could make escalators like that today if we wanted to. Hell, it would be easier to make them like that - just slant conveyor belts. The reason we don't do that is because it's a lot easier for humans to use escalators with steps. Did no one on Pulse ever figure this simple fact out?
 * I think there's a little Fridge Brilliance in that. Step escalators might make more sense, but consider in the original XIII, the military used many gravity-based technologies... now 400 years later, it'd probably be much more common. Hence why character's feet 'stick' to the conveyer-belt escalators, regardless of the slant, but not to a degree that they can't get off.
 * Why, oh why, did they  Why did they even have the thought? Under the direction of   of all people. That'd be like
 * Rather simple: even the most mundune of have immense power to do amazing things. By creating an artifical one, they could cure many problems with a single powerful being, and direct their resources elsewhere. It was a good idea... but the A.I. problems sadly didn't cross their minds. But at least that plan was abandoned in a different future, thanks to Serah and Noel.
