Final Fantasy XIII-2: Ending Cutscene

Guys, the name of the first song that plays is called New World, by Charice. Any other songs are listed in the video description. Just getting this question a lot, so hopefully this gets the word out faster.

Dying as a seeress must be terrifying. You literally get a sensory overload, witnessing trillions of flashes of events and people and every detail in between of the past and future and present, until your brain can’t take anymore and fries.

serah: died square: lets play happy music at a characters death!

The Sad thing about this ending is that everything you did was a waste of time and pointless. Killed caius, serah dies, world plunges into darkness, noel spends 5 century's being depressed about everything thinking its his fault omfg what a depressing but realistic ending

The saddest, creepiest and most twisted ending I have ever seen any FF series. Just wow

The saddest part is that serah knew she was gonna die,yet she continued forward

Damn nostalgic. Those long ass nights trying to plat this game. 😢

I’m not sure why... but I love that this ISNT a happy ending. For me, this is an iconic twist ending. We had one job lol, and we just totally failed

I remember this. It shocked me at first. I mean, it shouldn't have, because they throw hints in your face that Serah's death was inevitable the whole game, what with them repeatedly telling you that her life span drains the more she sees a vision of the future. But I didn't really take that seriously and thought "Eh, she'll be fine". Then she actually dies, and I'm literally like "Oh...". The thing is that I somehow still had this small feeling that something bad was about to happen. The musis is SO freaking happy and sappy, like it was all too good to be true. It all looked to wrapped up and clean by the end. I didn't bawl my eyes out, but I liked Serah, and I felt sad, and I felt even sadder for Lightning when she found out her sister died. That poor woman already had enough to deal with, including guilt, survivors guilt, and blaming herself for things that were out of her control, and as an older sister, she felt that she failed Serah (even though she didn't, Serah pretty much tells her as much). Still, I AM glad Lightning gets her back in Lightning Returns. This ending was a slap to the face, in both a good and bad way, and this trilogy deserved that happy ending.

The happy music lead me into a false sense of security. That was not cool.

who else ships Serah and Noel?

fun fact: i actually had to call into work to take the rest of day off because I was crying too hard. the more you know.

And this is why Noel and Serah have been shipped by fans for so long. Seriously, they made more sense than when she was with Snow! I mean seriously, they forced it down our throats how much they love each other and yet here Noel is crying over her and saying how much he wanted to protect her. Yeah.... Sorry Snow, but I think you should have shown up more than you should have in this game

I'd just like to point out that I always saw Noel's love for Yuel as a platonic, older brother sort of love. Which is still just as deep and just as valid. But his bond with Serah felt romantic to me.

I really liked that Serah died because it fit the narrative expectation, that Seers die from their powers, yet it still punched you in the gut when the scene came. Then they retconned it at LR. D:

This ending threw me for such a loop when I beat the game the first time. I was like “Yay we saved the future! Wait..why is she...OH NO NO NO WHAT. WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE’S DEAD. TO BE CONTINUED?!?!? WHAT THE HECK?!!!!” I just kinda sat on my couch in shock.

Even now this still brings me to tears. This is still my favorite Final Fantasy game, hell maybe my favorite game in general. Its one of the few I can pick back up any time and always enjoy. I still get goosebumps every time too, the voice acting is done so well that you cant help but feel it every single time

I remember I just finished the game at 2am. I dropped my controller and just stared at the title for 10 minutes shocked at what happened. Why I love FF13 series.

Noel loved Yuel but I REALLY feel like he loved Serah so much more. fml MY HEARTTT

I just cry everytime I see this... mostly because of Noel... he has lost everyone who was important for him...
