Final Fantasy XIII-2/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* Where were the Farseers between the War of Transgression and the Fall? Were they on Pulse in an area you just couldn't go in FFXIII? Or did they immigrate to Cocoon and then move (back) to Pulse with the rest of the Cocoonians during the Fall? Any evidence either way?

* How exactly does changing something in the future change the past? If the game explained it, I missed it.

** Yeah. It is briefly explained because of Yeul. When something changes in the future, a Yeul in the past has a different vision. If many changes happen, Yeul dies earlier than she originally had. Also, if the Oracle Drive prophecies change, such as they did when Serah yelled at Hope while fighting Adam, then the people viewing them see a different vision and come to different conclusions. All the same, it's probably best not to think about it too hard.

*** There are two ways it's accomplished, though this troper still thinks it makes only half-sense. The first is detailed above, and requires affecting people and things in the past which could SEE the future, thus changing their reactions to it in the past. The other way is explained in one of the versions of Yaschas Massif, and basically says that, when you change the future via Paradoxes, the past that lead TO that future has to change accordingly to match up to the "new" future you've created. Essentially, it's reversing causality.

* How could the giant flan disintegrate the crystal pillar from the Sunleth Waterscape? The Waterscape is ''inside'' Cocoon, it's not like the flan is disintegrating the pillar from the surface of Gran Pulse...

** The crystal pillar holding up coccoon is connected both to the ground of Gran Pulse and anchored to Coccoon itself. If the Royal Ripeness destroys the point where the pillar is connected to Coccoon, then it will fall just the same. Note that in the images of the prophecy of Coccoon-fall, the pillar itself doesn't collapse, Coccoon simply falls from atop it and crushes the pillar on the way down.

** Probably because the story isn't over yet. We'll just have to wait and see what new news will bring. After all, Squeenix did register the domain name for finalfantasyxiii-3.com...

** It's not a first. Did you forget that FFVII ended on a similar note? Before the sequels started rolling out, the last thing we knew about Cloud & Co was their world being impacted by the meteor, and that in 500 years Midgar would be devoid of humans...

* Did they ever explain how or why Serah and Noel teleported while fighting Atlas? It wasn't addressed and is never mentioned again as far as I can remember.

* So why did Serah change clothes in the beginning of the game? I mean, I know schoolgirl clothes wouldn't really fit in a journey, but was it just a paradox?
