While in Valhalla , Eidolons answer her call, and she can send messages via dreams to those residing in the mortal realm. As the savior, Lightning can collect Eradia from those who find peace and yield it to the magical tree Yggdrasil. Her status as the savior allows her access to the Temple Ruins. Claire's father died when she was young, and her mother died from an unknown illness when she was With no other family to turn to, Claire raised her younger sister, Serah.
To overcome the pain of her parents' deaths and become an adult as quickly as possible, she changed her name to "Lightning". Despite the delusion of not needing her past, she was an average orphaned child who wanted to be loved. She attained the rank of sergeant and became scheduled for officer training. However, she began to lose sight of her goals and worked many hours while spending little time with Serah. You became a l'Cie, so now you're gonna marry this idiot?
And you think I'm gonna buy that? Full points for originality. But, don't forget. If you really are a l'Cie, it's my job to deal with you. Nine days before Lightning's 21st birthday , the Bodhum monster -fighting group NORA rescues her from an aquatic ambush. Lightning meets Snow Villiers: their leader and Serah's boyfriend.
Lightning remains unimpressed as she has never approved of NORA's vigilantism and unsuccessfully demands him to stop dating Serah. The next day, Lightning begins regretting her lack of attention to Serah, feeling Serah got involved with Snow to quell her loneliness. Seeing Nora Estheim and her son Hope in the mall inspires Lightning to plan a vacation away from Bodhum for her birthday to spend time with Serah and divert her attention from Snow.
Four days later, the Cavalry is hunting down a girl named Vanille in Bodhum; Lightning meets with Rygdea , suspecting it may have something to do with the incident at Euride Gorge two days ago. While attending Bodhum's fireworks festival four days later, Lightning learns of a Pulse-related incident at the nearby Vestige being kept under wraps by the Sanctum, but Amodar warns her not to investigate.
The next day, Lightning's birthday, Serah reveals she was branded a Pulse l'Cie, and that she and Snow are now engaged. Thinking Serah is lying to give herself an excuse to wed Snow, Lightning drives her away, leaving her alone to open her birthday present from Serah: a survival knife. When the Sanctum announces Bodhum's quarantine after discovering a Pulse fal'Cie within the Vestige last night, Lightning realizes Serah told the truth.
After learning the Sanctum plans to Purge everyone in town to Pulse, Lightning tries to find Serah but Snow says she is held captive inside the Vestige.
Although military personnel is exempt, Lightning volunteers to be Purged with the civilians and resigns from the Guardian Corps, wanting to enter the Hanging Edge , where PSICOM plans to move the Vestige and rescue Serah before she gets taken out of reach. This l'Cie curse, it took everything from me. My future.
My dreams. I didn't want to think. So I fought instead. As long as I was fighting, nothing else was real. I was running away. Snow, Hope, and Vanille arrive, and Serah asks Lightning to save Cocoon before entering crystal stasis , having fulfilled her Focus.
Lightning and the group confront and destroy Anima but Pulse brands them l'Cie before the Vestige plummets to Lake Bresha , crystallizing it on impact.
Lightning and her new companions awaken in Lake Bresha, realizing they are now l'Cie and that upon their branding, they shared a vision of the legendary beast Ragnarok. They discover Serah's crystal form fused to the crystallized lake. Deeming Serah is dead, Lightning reluctantly opts to continue onward to evade the army's closing net, so they leave behind Snow, who has chosen to dig Serah out.
They find an airship in abandoned ruins at the lake's edge and use it to escape, but are attacked by pursuing PSICOM ships and crash in the Vile Peaks. Lightning plans to go to the capital city Eden to destroy its namesake fal'Cie that controls the Sanctum, blaming it for the Purge and her current plight. After a disagreement on their Focus, which they believe is to destroy Cocoon, the group splits up: Lightning heads for Eden to take down the Sanctum, and Sazh and Vanille go the opposite direction to run from their fate.
Followed by Hope and unable to send him back, Lightning lets him accompany her. Her patience wears thin as Hope becomes a liability and Lightning threatens to leave him.
Her frustration summons the Eidolon Odin to attack Hope. Lightning saves him, and they defeat the Eidolon together, convincing her to let Hope travel with her and help him "toughen up". At the Gapra Whitewood , Hope takes the lead, and Lightning gives him her survival knife to boost his confidence.
Hope reveals his intention to take revenge on Snow for his part in his mother's death during the Purge. After Lightning advises Hope to form a plan to help him focus and fight, he keeps his sights on revenge.
When Lightning tells Hope the Sanctum is to blame for Nora's death, he resolves to make both Snow and the Sanctum pay for it. Lightning tries to dissuade Hope by suggesting they visit his father. When Hope mentions the fal'Cie treat humans as their pets, Lightning realizes that having lived under the fal'Cie's care since birth had made her their pawn and that her anger is over her protectors turning against her. Realizing she has dragged Hope into the same delusion of fighting blindly to make up for doubt and confusion, Lightning tells Hope their quests for vengeance are over and vows not to abandon him.
Lightning escapes with Fang and forces Snow to take Hope. The pairs agree to meet up at Hope's house over wireless communicators. Hope still wants to go through with his revenge, and when Lightning tries to reason with him, her plea never reaches him.
Lightning learns Fang is not only a Pulse l'Cie like herself but an actual Gran Pulse citizen from the land below the floating world of Cocoon. Fang and Vanille were crystallized there centuries earlier after completing their Focus but awoke in Cocoon without knowing how or why and were indirectly responsible for Serah becoming a l'Cie. Lightning and Fang realize Pulse and Cocoon are more similar than they initially thought in how both worlds fear and hate each other.
Fang tells Lightning how a l'Cie's brand indicates the amount of time until one becomes a Cie'th —a crystalline monster a l'Cie becomes upon failing their Focus—and reassures Serah will wake from crystal stasis one day. Hope has abandoned his plan for revenge and returns Lightning's knife, and they promise to protect each other. Lightning tends to the injuries Snow sustained from saving Hope at the Estheim Residence and apologizes for her earlier behavior towards him, having gained an appreciation for how Snow always stayed by Serah's side.
Lightning has Hope tie up his dad during the chaos to make him appear like an unwilling accomplice. The party boards the Cavalry's airship, the Lindblum , and learns Sazh and Vanille are being held captive on the Palamecia airship. Primarch Galenth Dysley , the head of the Sanctum government, is overseeing the transport.
The four l'Cie infiltrate the Palamecia to rescue Sazh and Vanille, and once reunited, they confront Dysley on the bridge. He reveals himself as the fal'Cie Barthandelus , leader of the Cocoon fal'Cie.
He explains the group's Focus is to destroy Cocoon by turning into Ragnarok and killing Orphan , the fal'Cie that sustains Cocoon. The party flees on a small airship, which autopilots them through Eden into the Fifth Ark hidden beneath the city. The group's l'Cie powers are fully awoken. Barthandelus desires for Cocoon's destruction so the resultant deaths will summon the Maker , the creator of fal'Cie and humans alike. Raines rebels against his Focus by attempting to kill the l'Cie, and though defeated, transforms into crystal.
The group decides to follow his example and save Cocoon. Fang turns against them until Lightning and Vanille help her tame her Eidolon, Bahamut. The party finds an airship with a gate leading to Gran Pulse and descends to the world below, hoping to find aid in their quest.
After falling under attack by a wild wyvern, Lightning helps Fang summon Bahamut to save the party. They land and create a base camp in the Vallis Media but find Pulse devoid of human life after days of searching. Hope wishes to be left behind, and his Eidolon Alexander appears. Lightning and Fang help Hope tame the Eidolon, and with their resolve renewed, the party decides to head to Oerba : Vanille and Fang's hometown. They ascend Taejin's Tower and ride a capsule down to the outskirts of Oerba but find it abandoned.
Serah confronts the group, referring to Lightning by her birth name, and asks the group to destroy Orphan to summon the Maker and save the world from despair. Serah is Dysley in disguise , who announces he has resigned as Primarch and appointed a revived Raines in his place to incite a civil war, as the Cavalry would see him as a traitor.
He has his familiar, Menrva , transform into an airship for the group to return to Cocoon, and they do so to try and stop Dysley's plans. In the depths of the Narthex, they find Dysley, who summons the crystallized Dajh Katzroy and Serah before the party and shatters them. Denouncing it as an illusion, the party fights Barthandelus and destroys him. His defeat awakens the sleeping Orphan, who wishes for death after centuries of not having a life, and attacks them.
Fang submits to Orphan's demands and agrees to become Ragnarok. After they try to stop her, Lightning and the others, aside from Vanille, turn into Cie'th and attack Fang. Orphan tortures her to force her to transform, but Fang's incomplete transformation isn't strong enough to kill Orphan. The Cie'th party members relive the memories of their quest and are restored, believing that they have seen something that resembled a new Focus.
Lightning announces their new Focus is to save Cocoon and all of the party's l'Cie brands burn out. The party defeats Orphan's true form, and Cocoon begins to fall. Lightning and the others float away as Vanille and Fang transform into a complete Ragnarok and stop Cocoon's descent by forming a crystal pillar to support it above Gran Pulse. Lightning and the others enter crystal stasis but are restored and find they are no longer l'Cie.
Lightning reunites with Serah and begins apologizing to her, but Snow interrupts her by saying they "have a wedding to plan". He promises to make Serah happy, and Lightning congratulates them. Lightning vows to find a way to save Vanille and Fang from the crystal pillar. She believes the answer lies somewhere on Gran Pulse, and perhaps she could discover other Pulsian survivors as well, though it will be a long and challenging journey.
After seeing Serah is in good hands with Snow, she decides to take up the task independently as new responsibilities will tie Serah and the others down. A paradox removes Lightning from history, and she finds herself in another world. I took their lives just because I didn't want to die. I felt that it was a sin, but I deluded myself, saying I had no choice. I had selfishly decided the weight of life and selfishly convinced myself of it. I didn't even stop to think that their lives were sacrificed for mine.
It was all me On the first day of the AF era that started on the Day of Ragnarok , Lightning's reunion with Serah is cut short when she is dragged into an abyss by a manifestation of chaos caused by a paradox. Only her survival knife remains, and everyone except Serah believes her to be either dead or crystallized in the crystal pillar with Vanille and Fang; in actuality, Lightning fell through the Historia Crux and ended up in Valhalla, the middle world between life and death dislodged from time.
Lightning comes upon a moogle named Mog , who challenges her to a duel and promptly loses. Touched by Mog's innocence, Lightning has him follow her. Lightning and Mog encounter Odin, who challenges Lightning to a battle, during which she learns to cast magic despite no longer being a l'Cie. She defeats Odin and rides him to Etro's temple , where Bahamut challenges her.
Lightning loses her weapon during the fight, but Mog transforms into a bow for her to overcome the Eidolon. Standing before the goddess's throne, a brief oneness with Etro enables Lightning to understand the goddess's isolation and her love for humanity.
Lightning comes to realize Etro saw her and her friends as sinners for killing people during their time as l'Cie, yet freed them from their brands after giving Vanille and Fang the strength to become Ragnarok. Through the Eyes of Etro , Lightning witnesses various moments in time, including an era facing destruction , seeress Yeul repeatedly dying, Serah trapped in an endless dream , and her losing battle with Yeul's Guardian , Caius.
Her Guardian Corps uniform disappears, and a suit of armor materializes in its place. Lightning chooses to stay as Etro's champion to contain the memories of the deceased and fight Caius as a way to atone for her sins. Caius briefly appears behind her and tells her to go home, as the world will not end for some time, but she resolves to remain.
This man, Caius Ballad. He seeks to destroy all hope, and bring an end to the future. Though the battle might be endless, I will never give up. Etro has chosen us—her champions.
And we cannot fail. As Etro's protector, Lightning guards the goddess against Caius, Yeul's immortal Guardian, who wants to kill Etro to destroy the timeline and save Yeul from her cycle of reincarnation. During her battle against Caius, Lightning sees Etro's gate appear over the temple and sees a person fall out of it. She recognizes it as a young man from a past vision, Noel Kreiss.

While several l'Cie, upon completing their Focus, have their entire body turn to crystal, Dajh is instead encased in a crystal block.
Whenever l'Cie use magic they draw the spells from their brand, much in the same way they summon their eidolith. This is seen in cutscenes and in battles; Hope uses his branded hand to cast spells and Vanille always stems her magic from her thigh. All the l'Cie's brands can be partially or fully seen apart from Raines's and Lightning's, since they are hidden beneath their clothing. There are 16 beta versions of prerendered cutscenes in the game for the original USA PlayStation 3 release, and one shows Dajh with a more advanced l'Cie brand than what he has in the final game.
In the final game, the later stages of the Sanctum l'Cie brand are never seen, but artwork showing the stages exists in the companion Ultimania guides. A decorative l'Cie brand is available as an adornment for recruitable monsters under the name "Mark of the l'Cie". While Etro does not brand people as l'Cie, a Fragment Entry speaks of the "symbol of Valhalla" being on Lightning and Serah's clothing. This symbol is a golden bird. Since the symbol is in the same place as their old l'Cie brands, the bird could be interpreted as Etro's brand.
Her crest, also the symbol used for Etro's gate , could also be interpreted as her "brand" as it appears across the eyes of Yeul and Serah when they have visions, a power given to them by Etro. It appears that a l'Cie brand is unaffected by the end of time as Snow's brand continues to progress, albeit at a slow pace.
Crest of Pulse and Mark of Lindzei are adornments available in-game. While specific references and marketing material was removed, the world and story have retained thematic and design elements.
The royal families of Lucis and Tenebrae were granted magical powers by the world's deities and their associated Crystal , while main protagonist Noctis Lucis Caelum is chosen to fulfill a prophecy and become the " True King ", similar to the journeys of l'Cie and their Foci. As part of his journey to gain the powers of the Crystal Noctis must sleep inside it, which hearkens to the concept of l'Cie's crystal stasis. Ardyn Izunia was to be the True King, but was rejected in favor of another when he became corrupted by daemonic influence.
Thus, they have Fabula Nova Crystallis elements on them. Its original retail price was 13, yen. Like all official Final Fantasy Zippo lighters, it comes with a limited lifetime guarantee and a certificate of authenticity.
Other official l'Cie merchandise includes a. This might be a reference to l'Cie being related to the concept of the Warriors of Light.
Its root is the Latin caelum. Visually, this is taken as a pun: the "white brand" is a symbolic meaning of a l'Cie "heaven" or "redemption", in which the l'Cie has found happiness despite the trials they went through. This contrasts with the "black brand", which indicates a l'Cie is undergoing these trials.
See also: White Brand. There are many paths to ascension, although it is never clearly stated which a person must take. The concept behind Orience l'Cie draw similarities to the East Asian mythical beings and state of Xian; in addition to having attained immortality and a higher state of being without reliance on worldly nourishment, the Xian had mystical powers, ranging from teleportation, flight, to immunity to extreme environments, due to their power's basis deriving from their mastery over their life force, or qi.
Certain levels of mastery allowed them to ascend from tangible earthbound form through the process of sublimation, and some of the highest ascended Xian were said to have acted as the emissaries of the gods. The concept of l'Cie also alludes to the Warriors of Light, a recurring theme in the Final Fantasy series where a group of warriors brought together by circumstance are chosen by the crystal that gives them a mission to save the world, and often grants special powers to achieve said mission.
This is part of a larger theme of Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy in re-imagining the series' core concepts. In previous games becoming a Warrior of Light was shown as positive and heroic, whereas the Fabula Nova Crystallis series explores the concept of servitude to the crystal in a more sinister light, bringing the chosen "warrior's" free will into question.
