The Very Big Final Fantasy XIII Thread

[bluestarultor]

There's a mite difference between pulling plot points/tropes and pulling actual bits of plot. Also, a couple of those are pretty well digging for different reasons. Gods = gods? Duh? I know it's an oversimplification, but then so is the comparison. And NORA is so minor that it hardly even counts.

I'll agree to some of those similarities, but if your argument is really that it's pulling from as many as four other games in such limited blatancy, it really is a weaker argument than it could be. Hell, 9 pulled from way more than that and really only got called out because of how obvious it was, and even then, it was arguably in actual homage/celebration territory.


EDIT @ your edit: Not only is that one a stretch, but it's not even true. Summoners don't die as a direct result of defeating SIN. Rather, someone else does as a sacrifice to become their Final Aeon. It's just such a high-powered battle that the chances of survival aren't very good for anyone involved.

Edit again: Never mind, did a double-check and you're right. It's still a bit of a stretch, though. Also, the crystallization process is, in fact, reversible, which is why it's considered immortality. You'll find out more about this later, I'm sure.
