Cobheran here! It’s been a minute since our last video, and I apologize for that! The good news is that I recently played through FFXIII for the first time and found many unexpected similarities between FFXIII and FFXIV. Thank you to everyone who joined the streams and Shadowmeowth for guiding me through this massive world. Here I break down the similarities and outright identical themes and events and explore their significance in relation to the world of FFXIV. Also an explaination for why Vanille is the true villain of the game.
Warning: This video contains a lot of satire

People give final fantasy 13 so much hate and a lot of that hate is surface level disdain for the linear maps
I will admit Lightning was the only character I was invested in in the whole trilogy. Not only that she’s the only character from 13 to really branch outward into other square enix properties. I was actually looking forward to seeing her in the kingdom hearts series
Vanille was evil incarnate
The Fal’cie possessed enough free will to conspire to destroy the world and humanity all for the sake of being reunited with their creator in the most despicable display of “notice me senpai”
This seems as much a review of 13 as it is a short essay about parallels between 14 and 13. Not that I'm complaining! It's a great video, one you could definitely afford to expand on later down the line.
I unfortunately did not get to catch many of your streams of 13 so I do not have a coherent understanding of the plot, still I had a great time whenever I was around and could somewhat keep up with some quick wiki-surfing. 🙂 It seems the trilogy has plethora of depth behind its characters and world but the initial presentation turned me and many others off initially. Thankfully LoreLines is here to campaign for another go at 13.
