THANK YOU

I'm glad you had a good time! Lightning Returns didn't click for me as strongly as the rest of the XIII trilogy - I missed having a party! - but I remember being delighted by the ending. Absolutely batshit in a way I hugely enjoyed.

There are so many things about LR that don't work for me on paper (and several that don't really work for me in reality either) and yet! I think I'll have to make a proper update about it because I never guessed I would fixate on it to this degree. It is possible I have been inspired by your Balamb Garden website and keep daydreaming about making a site just for bigging up Not Great Game Lightning Returns but I famously have negative one million ability to focus on anything despite best efforts so I fear it will remain a fantasy. my final fantasy, perhaps.......................

I'm looking forward to the update! And NO PRESSURE AT ALL, but, if you do end up making a website, I will absolutely roll around in it in delight.

omg riona, turns out making website is hard ;_; but I have an actual URL and have started trying to figure out html so! it! has begun!!!

[rionaleonhart]

HECK YEAH HECK YEAH. I don't know if you're on Neocities, but, if you are, you should tell me your URL so I can follow you on there! And, if you aren't, you should tell me your URL anyway.

[aestivalis]

THERE IS NOTHING THERE YET!!!! It is at Eradia dot Neocities but I'm not sure if the site itself would will end up using that moniker. Also there is nothing there! It is a snowy field of blankness! It has been consumed by winter's harshness :(

I clicked the link and laughed aloud. Beautiful. What every website should say, really.

!!!!!!!!!!!!! NICE!!!

Sooo!! What did you think it improved on compared to the rest of the trilogy? Anything you'd change?

What did you think of the ending?

[aestivalis]

I DID ITTTTT it kicked my ass quite a lot but I got there in the end, yeahhhh!

And your questions are amazingly valid but I could say so much by answering them and I think I might make a proper update at some point! So I'm rudely going to save it for then, haha! But I enjoyed the ending very much, I would doubtless change several things if given the chance but also like that it's such an odd duck and changing that would lose some of the appeal, and~~~ I personally liked it more than the original FFXIII but still accept that OG FFXIII is the better game and also that Lightning Returns wouldn't work at all if it didn't have that prior material. It blew XIII-2 out of the water for me, but I just didn't gel with that game!
