Second go!

Hey, back again.

So i didn't really do a good job of making the confusing plot of final fantasy less confusing last time so here's my second attempt. First of all i most apologise. The friend of which i spoke who overtook me was Robin Jones. He also introduced me to Oblivion. I hope he is happy now.

So i'll start again.

The game starts where you are on a train which is carrying innocent people from their homes to a place called Hanging Edge in some form of evacuaton from a nearby city. On board the train are two mysterious passengers: a woman named Lighning and a man named Sazh. When soldiers come in to inspect the "passengers" you see that they are chained and obviously something isn't right. Lightning and Sazh manage to take out the soldiers aboard the train and comandeer it. They use it to get into Hanging Edge, where some sort of battle is happening. They make their way out of the train and head further into Hanging Edge. Lightning seems to have a goal but Sazh is tagging along. The scene then switches to the rebels who are creating the fighting against the goverment. They are a rebel group called NORA. This group don't want to leave behind their homes and have started resisting the goverment. You are put into the shoes of their leader named Snow. Himself and his friends are escorting a large group of people who escaped the Purge (the act of evacuating from the nearby city everyone to Hanging Edge) Most of them stand up to help him fight, including a woman who claims to be a "tough mum." They are doing pretty well untill the bridge they are making a stand on gets hit by an explosion, sending a lot of people falling to their death. The "tough mum" falls over the edge, Snow tries to save her but she falls: her last words to Snow are "get him home."
Bck to Lighning and Sazh. Lightning explains to him about the Purge. (This is where it gets confusing) the goverment told the people that they were evacuating them into Hanging Edge so that they would be safe from the la'cie who had been spotted in a giant fal'cie ship called the Vestige, just outside of their city. The la'cie are people who have been cursed by fal'cie. Fal'cie are creatures which aim to destroy Cocoon (the synthetic earth that humans constructed and live on) and come from the other world that is below Cocoon, called Gran Pulse or Pulse for short (still with me?) The fal'cie curse humans and make them la'cie so that they will do their bidding for them. If a la'cie doesn't fufill the task they are givven they turn into a monster and suffer eternal pain. If they DO fufill their task, they are turned into a crystal statue and sleep for eternity. Lightning explains to Sazh that the Purge was all a lie. What the empire were actually going to do is act like they were going to evacuate everyone to Hanging Edge, but once they got there they were just going to kill them all, as the empire believes anyone who comes into close contact with la'cie are tainted.
Back to Snow, who is seperated from NORA and whats left of the people who escaped the Purge. He looks up into the sky to see the Vestige (the fal'cie ship). He proceeds to tell us that his fiancee Serah is up in the ship, as she was turned into a la'cie and taken captive aboard it. He makes his way back to Nora, and goes after the ship in a hoverbike. Nearby two of the people who survived the purge want to go after Snow. A young boy named Hope wants to go after Snow, as the "tough mum" who died was his mum, and he wants to confront Snow about her death, as he think it was Snows fault she fell. The other is a girl named Vanille (my favourite character). She wants to help Hope because shes that sort've person, so they steal a hoverbike and go after Snow. They crash once they get into the Vestige and with no way back, start to explore.
Meanwhile, Lightning and Sazh have also find their way into the ship, where Lightning reveals she is also trying to save Serah, as Serah is her sister. They bust in and go looking for her, however, Sazh is unsure as he has grown up to believe la'cie are bad news, and thinks it isn't a good idea to go near Serah. Vanille and Hope bump into Snow. Snow runs off telling them to stay hidden, however Vanille tells Hope that this may be the only chance he will ever get to confront Snow, so they go with him. Eventually all 5 of them meet up and find Serah. Serah asks them to save Cocoon. Snow and Lightning agree, and with that Serah turns into a statue made of crystal. Snow and Lighning are both stricken with grief, and decide to try and reason with the Fal'cie that cused Serah in the first place. Sazh and Vanille decide to help, and Hope folllows out of fear, as Vanille is the only thing that is keeping him going. Snow tries to talk to the Fal'cie (named Anima) but it remains dormont. Lightning lashes out and provokes it. It awakens and a fight ensues. Lightning and co. manage to kill it, but before it dies it turns all 5 of them into la'cie. Then with no fal'cie inside it the Vestige loses power, and crashes down through Hanging Edge into the lake below it. As it hits the lake it blows up, sending out a wave of energy which freezes the whole lake in crystal. Vanille, Snow, Lightning, Hope and Sazh wake up to realize that they have been turned into la'cie, which means they have shiny new powers. Unfortunatly none of them know what their task is, as they all only got a brief vision of what they had to do. With no real path to follow they set off to search for the crystal statue of Serah which Snow thinks must have fallen down with them.

And thats where i leave it. I hope you arn't confused. I am gonna be following the plot on myblog every day so if your not sure about something comment cause otherwise your jsut gonna get more confused.
