Why is Hope a child again? (New Trailer)

[Karifean]

My first reaction to seeing this:

LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII -- "The Divine Task" Trailer - YouTube

Thoughts?

Edit: Hmm, so apparently Fang is the boss of a bandit gang called the Monoculous which Lightning joins probably shortly after starting the game. Now I'm pretty sure Vanille is in this and probably plays a major role.

Time travel.

[Mirage]

BUT HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

[Jinx]

I dunno, there was time travel in FFXIII-2, right?

[Mirage]

yeah and it was terrible

i was kind of being unserious

[Formalhaut]

It's creepy as well, because in that trailer he appears to have a deeper, adult Hope voice.

Of course, might just be me.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I feel like he has a deeper voice as well. And it also seems like he has the personality of adult Hope.

[Del Murder]

It's called SE doesn't give a smurf and is throwing anything they want in the game whether it makes sense or not.

I've been torn with this game. The gameplay footage looks better and better every time I see it, but it's set in the goddamn FFXIII universe and you just know the plot isn't going to make a lick of sense.

Maybe it because in the end of Final Fantasy XIII-2, after Noel, Serah and Mog defeated Caius the power of Chaos released to their world. It (power of Chaos) made Hope child again. So yeah, the power of Chaos made Hope child again.
But this is my opinion

[Del Murder]

Maybe it was the power of Love.

[Flaming Ice]

Maybe it was the power of Love.

ENDING:


Hope standing over Lightning, she's is holding a baby.



Probably going to be 10 different hopes from different time lines, all vying for lightning's heart.

[DMKA]

"Time paradox/it's Hope in a different time/it's just a facade of Hope via a program or a spirit or something else arcane/time travel makes crazy stuff happen that can't be rationalized so we won't bother/etc."

It still makes more sense than the final boss of FFIX did.

[Del Murder]

Yeah but that's the final boss. Those never make sense.

[DMKA]

Yeah but that's the final boss. Those never make sense.

FFIX is the only FF final boss that made zero sense to me.

You were fine with Zeromus and Cloud of Darkness?
