LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII (2013)

I should've felt something. A surge of joy, or warmth

Since the flood of chaos 500 years ago, Sazh Katzroy fixes an ancient camera, developing a centuries-long passion for photography. He travels all over Nova Chrysalia, capturing day-to-day scenes to showcase the flow of life in a world where time is broken.

To my Black viewers: you deserve to be centered and considered. You deserve lovingly depicted Black characters and representation, with the goal of seeing your joy. I hope you always ask for more, more, and better.

With that statement in mind, I drew my version of Sazh leading the life I wrote he'd have in my canon of Lightning Returns. Close-ups of the three lined arts + head canons are under the cut.

Tagging @fangsded if you want to join in!

Sazh is often bombarded with too much food by the people he helps and their neighbors. He, Dajh, and Celeste still work out in the shell of an airship, but has a small place in the nearby village. It acts as a gallery and storage space for all of their art.

Sazh's favorite area to take photos of is the Wildlands. He especially likes to track the day-night cycle of the local flora, and makes projects of visiting the same spots to log any changes. It's interesting how one can capture change in a world that's stopped changing.

Sazh visits his old friends regularly, as much as he's able. He catches up with Fang every time he goes to the Dead Dunes, taking a much deserved drink. He tries to catch Noel and Snow when he finds them – as hard as that is nowadays – and short meetings with Vanille when able. He gives Lumina letters to sneak to Vanille. (Strangely, none of the photos he takes of Lumina have her appear in them.)

If I had a nickel for every time my favorite nerd spent 100+ years to find and bring back their 'inspiration', I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

We love our queen who is obsessed with steak that she goes on a date just to not miss out on a steak.

It's also the only dish she can make and she's great at it!

Serah Farron | FF XIII-2

[friendofesteem]

I’m replaying final fantasy xiii-2 and it’s so sad seeing how optimistic and earnest the characters are when Lightning Returns exists and you know how it’s going to end. Serah is constantly saying “we’ll save the future and stop Chaos from entering our world” and I’m sorry sweetie but you fail. you fail completely and then you die. Noel becomes so overcome with grief at his failure to save her that he falls into depression for 500 years. Hope dedicates his entire life to his new Cocoon project and names it after the God that ends up torturing him and then possessing his body.
