Final Fantasy XIII-2/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

** Often when fighting the Cie'th, one or more of them will start off the battle by using a Remedy... [[Fridge Horror|We'll let that sink in]].

** Even worse, if a Cie'th spawns and you take too long to engage it (which ''WILL'' happen due to the absurdly high [[Random Encounter]] rate), it will ''start attacking nearby NPCs''; you'll hear them scream, then they keel over and stop moving... Yes, '''you can actually see NPCs killed before your eyes!''' And you'll have to live with the knowledge that you, the player, failed to save them.

** [[Serial Escalation|And even worse?]] In the subtlest Shout Out, a sound effect plays '''every 15 seconds''' during that small part, sounding exactly like ''[[Silent Hill|Silent Hill 3's]]'' 'Red Light Chase'!

* Yaschas Massif 10 AF. You start off in a small mountainous area at night. Okay, so there are a handful of people walking around, there's some lights to keep things viewable, and everything is calm and good... until you find your way to the open area in the center of the map, where the eclipse has made things ''pitch black'' and the only light available are the various spotlights and lamps in the area. You run toward the spotlight and suddenly the Mog Clock appears, and next thing you know a Behemoth that can ''decimate'' any normally-leveled player appears and you realize that the Mog Clock is going ''at an accelerated rate''. It plays [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IURKLkJrAI this], which gives the feeling that something is sneaking up on you waiting to pounce at any moment... Then as soon as an enemy shows up, the music immediately changes to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtyTxrDLPug this], which is like that something suddenly pounces and gets you! There is hope, however: stepping into light resets and freezes the Mog Clock. But even so...

* Royal Ripeness, unusually, since most of the times Flan-type enemies are funny. {{spoiler|Not this one due to it leading to Cocoon crashing into Pulse, and if you don't stop it, Cocoon crashes into Pulse early! But once the Faeryl is destroyed, it becomes [[Nightmare Retardant]].}}

* '''The ending'''. It starts at such a typical high note, complete with hopeful pop music... {{spoiler|and then Serah falls over, dead, due to the timeline changes. Then a loud thud and clocks are heard, the sky starts to darken, a time paradox gate the size of ''Neo Cocoon'' appears, and Mog falls down. He warns Hope and Noel that the goddess Etro is ''dead'', with Caius' mocking voice reminding them that if he died while Etro was still recovering from her wounds, she would die, too. Cue the [[Time Crash]] as chaos erupts from Etro's prison, destroying the entire timeline - everyone, everywhere, every''when'' is either wiped out, placed in stasis for all eternity, or trapped in a Valhalla-like existence with no causality. The game finishes with a shot of Lightning's crystallized body on Etro's throne and [[To Be Continued]].}}

* Just the intro when you first play as Serah. You open your front door and step outside, expecting to see your friends and neighbors and a beautiful beachfront view...and then the air seems to warp and fold in on itself as you find yourself walking in a blasted, desolate landscape completely devoid of human presence, or any life at all for that matter.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v083EX9LCKI This song] sounds like something from Silent Hill, and it plays during a scene like the Scarecrow scene from [[Batman: Arkham Asylum (Video Game)/Nightmare Fuel|Batman Arkham Asylum]].
