Snow (Spoilers)

[Carl the Llama]

KaiserDragon, I think it's funny that you chide others for not paying attention. If you paid attention during the ending you'd have known that spoiler the reason the gates disappeared is that supposedly "the final paradox was resolved". At least, that's what Mog says. If Sahz and all those other people were a time paradox, they'd have disappeared and gone back to their own time, or the gates would still be in tact.

First off, I said it was a possibility, and now I know the truth (at least the truth of how Snow can get carted about through history), You remember (SPOILER)he is branded again right? will in a Paradox Ending (name Hope is the Future) Paradox Ending major spoilerAlyssa is revealed to be in league with Caius, and the artefact she gave over was in fact one that Caius gave to her so Serah and Noel would get trapped and he could pick them off one at a time, you see Snow (cheesy grin) run in with a bunch of soldiers telling Serah not to take the artefact as its a boobie trap they arrest Alyssa and Hope demands to know what happened, Snow explains, cut scene to the front of the academy, you see Snow with his Shiva bike and Noel looks to be worshiping the bike (XD) and Snow tells Hope that he is due to be assassinated in 3 days time and tells Noel to keep Hope safe as "Hope is the Future" then he tells Noel that he is going to take Serah with him to stop Caius once and for all and they fly on Snows bike off into the sunset and they speed up traveling through time on Shiva, which is apparently how he can travel through time so yeah, a very cheesy ending but it made me lol... so far its my favourite paradox ending lol

I think what we are suckers if we think that this game's storyline can be carried on "possibilities" rather than a tight and well-written plot from its creaters. There are so many holes in the plot, that your mind seems to do the writers' jobs for them. Also, I agree with those who say Snow and Serah's relationship was treated horribly in this game. Snow was really supportive to Serah in the first game, but he really blows her off in the sequel. So what if he's trying to do something good by helping to find her sister? Why does he have so little faith in her that she can't be a part of that? Why does he think he's so capable that he couldn't at least come back for help once he established his target/enemy in the future? All the reasons Noel hates him are justified. He is a selfish dude that couldn't care less for Serah's feelings, and I hate that. As meaningful as their engagement was in the first game and his entire journey to save her, I feel awful that she's basically baggage to him in this game. I just agree entirely with Del Murder, that their relationship sort of just fell apart in this game, in a really lame and depressing way.

All of this is addressed within the non DLC stuff the game has to offer, see the above spoiler if you don't mind having it spoiled for you.

Now that you mention mog, KaiserDragon, that's one other thing I was ticked about. They didn't resolve his plot either. Never explained why he was there, why he was basically the keeper of time. The datalag (or maybe a fragment log, i dont remember) says his real body is trapped inside the clock that the toy mog carries. I hope something comes of this in DLC, because none of Mog's involvement with this story made sense to me.

Now I don't know if you are talking about the events in Oerba (I'm still in the middle of gathering all the fragments, need 30 more till I have all 160) but there is some back story for mog there, not sure if it tells his entire back story or it just tells you what you just told me... but suffice to say if you have no idea what I am talking about then I might suggest you complete the game then go fill out the rest of the story before you start bashing the game for what it doesn't have, as its clear you haven't seen the Paradox ending that I mentioned above.

Here we go again with all this talk of DLC, when Square should have just given us a completed game to begin with. Ugg, it really boils my potatoes. Lol.

As much as I would love for every company not to charge and just give us everything the game has and ever will have to offer without DLC, it doesn't make it happen, they want to make money and I (and apparently thousands of other people out there) are more then willing (I personally love the DLC) to pay extra for it, sure its awesome having Light in my party but it has no baring on the story to have her here, and costumes are bound to be purely adornment items also having nor effect on the game either.
