This song is a testament to the quality of the music of Final Fantasy after Uematsu's departure. I know many were worried when he left, but Uematsu left several worthy successors in his place.
This song is phenomenally beautiful and perfectly describes the kind of character Caius is: A fallen hero. A man who would destroy the very fabric of existence to prevent the suffering of the girl he swore to protect.
Well...there is one thing I know. If Square Enix does ever make a Final Fantasy 13-3, I take the risk to say that Final Fantasy 13 it's gonna be the biggest Final Fantasy (and also the best) ever made. Example: Imagine if it happens that in FF XIII-3 all the Final Fantasy XIII-3 go after Caius Ballad like in VII with Sephiroth, it would be awesome :D
@Drawnzered Uh, hello, Cloud and friends killed Sephiroth in ff7, Cloud then killed Sephiroth AGAIN all by himself in Advent Children lol so I think you mean for the third time... but I don't care, Caius would still kick his ass, cause he's effing awesome
@Drawnzered If they fight in Valhalla, Caius is super strong but mortal, since he can die in Valhalla due to unusual flow of time and life. Outside of Valhalla, he is immortal but weaker because the chaos of Valhalla isn't there to boost his power, since it primarily only exists in Valhalla.
To be honest, I don't have a real opinion on who would win. If I had to choose their reasons, Caius b/c of all of his Bahamuts, but Sephiroth because of swordsmanship.
@PwnzooooR Noel isn't a guardian. There is and can only be one guardian (Caius), and the only way they can be killed are by those blessed by the goddess, Etro, which Noel is (which is how he can use his magical abilties). But you're still right, he wouldn't be able to die by Sephiroth's hands, but I believe Sephiroth can easily restrain Caius if that were the case, which would be a sort of victory, in my eyes.
There's no way in hell SE is going to leave the story like this. I just want to know if the continuation will be 13-3 or 13 versus...perhaps this is why its release is so delayed :O
@gabranthjudge Versus 13 is not connected to FF13 & FF13-2. They only share the same mythology, with the goddess Etro, etc ^^ .. But alot of people believe the story will be continued on with DLC packs for FF13-2. I don't think they can wrap all the story up in DLC, they should make FF13-3 xD Trilogy
"Everything I do is for Yeul." He'd do anything for her even kill the Goddess, Etro, for making her suffer countless deaths. He's one dedicated guardian O_O.
@P4CK3RS12 'Heart of Chaos' is amazing. I'd probably go with that, too. Though 'Followers of Chaos' really pumped me up as I ploughed through the enemies in Academia.
@PwnzooooR i got a feeling he'd be a tad OP in dissidia,
granted i would love to see him and emperor interact, i think caius is the only character he wouldnt be able to control.
.....ok pure fanboyism here but emperor > caius, yah caius did win but emperor destroyed fucking heaven and hell and killed god and satan to become a almighty overarching entity, thats just to badass for words
@jsh020 true, but we haven't really seen Caius's true power, have we :P. All this time he was fighting for Yuel, trying to protect all the Yules etc.. In Dissidia he is probably not going to remember anything so he might go rogue with all the powers :P And didn't SE state that Caius is the most powerful villain in any FF series ( if not, then one of the most powerfull)
@PwnzooooR I was thinking the exact same thing. They should TOTALLY put him in in the next dissidia. He actually wins in the end, something I cant remember any FF boss doing at the moment, except for maybe Kefka.
@dudeiamthedude Yeah mate, I don't want them to screw Caius over, by making them beat him. I mean he did what he set out to do. He mind fucked them basically :P. But he is a badass. Caius vs Sephirot vs Kefka. lol
@PwnzooooR Goes like this in this FFA: Kefka annoys the shit out of them, so they both gang up on Kefka. Kefka gets killed, but not before killing Caius with Light of Judgement. Caius just comes back though, lol. Then Caius and Sephiroth have an epic duel, to where Caius wins by either Comet, or Jet Bahamut.
Being unable to die and knowing all of time kinda helps in your favor.
@dudeiamthedude hahaa epic dude :P The ultimate battle. but still i don't think Caius has shown how really badass he is, when he was fighting Noel, it looked like to me that he was holding back. idk why I think that, but there must be more to it :P & we finally got a villain who happens to not be a crazy mental person that goes crazy and goes on a killing spree :P
Seriously I would pay to watch Sephiroth vs Caius in a CGI battle lol because you have to admit, Sephiroth is awesome :)
@PwnzooooR Well in the end he wanted to lose, therefore winning. So... yea. Wonder what would have happened if "Killing" him would actually stop his plans. Because either way, If he lost, Etro dies. If he won, Etro dies. Such a master plan could only be pulled off by the single person that the goddess herself trusted enough to contain her strength.
Well if you think about it, he was kinda insane. But in a logical way, I guess.
Either way, he makes more sense than Seph's motivation.
@dudeiamthedude Master plan!! , wonder what happens next, in the DLC's or if they ever make FF13-3. Because we all know he is not dead, in the end you can see him talking about how he succeeded by making them think that he was dead etc :P
Because he stabbed himself, otherwise he can only be killed by a Guardian/Noel and Noel didn't really kill him xD. And Etro's heart. I just cant wait :/
@DarkDyllon Gather 160 Fragments and you will see. If you paid close enough attention. Many times in the game it says "There is no such thing as time, life or death in valhalla. Time doesn't flow as it should" Why do you think he chose to bring the fight into valhalla in the first place? It was a double edged sword.
@DarkDyllon It didn't create valhalla. It released the chaos in the heart making the world the same concept as valhalla. He didn't kill Caius though. Because there is no such thing as death in Valhalla. Where you fought him. Which is why when he said he killed lightning to serah and noel and you see lightning at the end. She is only in a crystallised form
@Retrostar07 A good villain doesn't have to be evil, heck. Some great series have villians who are actually fighting for a greater cause than your own. But ideals clash.
@RoyAndKimble i beleave that caius was the first villain that actualy didt want power but just wanted yeul to live normally withoud the damned visions of the future
@Retrostar07 Rofl I have a great comment for this one: Yesterday I was playing minecraft multiplayer server, and one of my most trusted teammates decided to blow up my entire island, ya know why? He was excited and crazy because he just got a girlfriend. Then he left the group, the bastard.
@RoyAndKimble read the 100% fragment, it tells you everything, why caius is alive, what hes goiing to do,a dn that the final battle will take place on the 13th arc.
also heads up, a big indicator of why caius isnt dead is that another guardian needs to kill him. noel did not kill him, caius killed himself remember? the only other person that could truly kill him is lightning.....who is dead.
are you able to put together the peices yet? caius hasnt won yet, hes still got more to do
Watch the opening cinematic, why did he try to have himself stabbed by lightning's blade...
Come on man.... How would he still have more to do? His goal is to keep yuel safe, he did that.... Time no longer exists, he died within reason. The artifact explaining the 13th ark, was vague at best.... If anything, they will be fightning fenrir, not Caius.. Oh, if noel were to kill him, the goddess would of stayed alive, and he would have the heart of chaos.
@LordRoto Yes, but in how did they die at Augusta Tower if they didn't die at Augusta Tower? Is there some version of reality where they went to Augusta Tower and died? How come it wasn't explained or shown? Or did they never die at the Tower at all but Caius thought they did?
@WhiplashSL fuck the reviewers? quite litterly only one reviewer gave the game a score less and a 7.5 and that was just edge magizine aka one of the worst ones out there currently
hell the games gotten a few perfect scores to boot
@jsh020 I'm pretty sure they state that "XIII-2 fixes all the problems that XIII had", yet they proceed to give it a lower score than what XIII got, like GameInformer did.
@jsh020 I actually loved the story in XIII-2, needless to say it was confusing at first, with the whole Paradox Effect and whatnot, but it made sense after the Bresha Ruins.
@WhiplashSL yah i agree but i though 13's story was better and ultimately 13 was better
i though noel and caius were 2 of the best characters square has ever written but serah taking the top shots held it back and aside from hope all the original characters got buped down to side characters
i wish they would have spent more time on it, fix the frame rates, and make it longer, also have more party members,hey 13-3/dlc sequel pretty much forces noel, hope and sahz to party up so theres that
@jsh020 But for a game that was in development for a year (XIII launched in March of 2010, while XIII-2 launched in January of 2012), it's really impressive.
@WhiplashSL incorrect, it was in development for borderline 2 years, 13-2 start in january of 2010 before it had even released in america, to top that off square did not work alone, tri-ace developer of star ocean was a magor helpt to the development of this game.'
yes its impressive to make a 20 hour game in that time but seeing how 13 was only in development for even less time than 13-2(13 didnt start development till 08) and that game was 40 hours its quite disappointing
@3andathumbdowm in technicality 2005, but that wasnt the 13 we got, it was a version for the ps2 that got canned and restarted, just like versus they worked on it here and there but it never went into full production till 2008(versus went into full development last year)
so yes in technicality the games been in development since before 08 but not really.
@3andathumbdowm that was a cgi trailer showing what they wanted the battle system to be like. 13-3 was alot more closer to that trailer than 13 was, and im only saying that cause of the odin and caius's first final boss form fight where the battle stage was moving
I like that Caius is likeable, and not just evil like regular villiains. It's nice to have an insight into why a person chooses to do something, instead of the run-of-the-mill crazies who just want to see shit hit the fan sometimes.
This theme is on par with One Winged Angel no doubt. Best villain themes I've ever heard on ANY videogame PERIOD. However as a villain, Sephiroth is still miles ahead IMO. Caius may have "won" but he just lacked that certain... Evil wickedness about him...
I think someone resurrected Wagner to do this song O_O Wait...Valhalla, Lightining looking like a Valkyrie and riding Odin...Awww, clever clever Square~ *adjusts monocle*
@RoyAndKimble dude just listen to the freaking diolouge, hes talking about how etro and light are dead, the world is in chaos, and how every time anotomly has been fixed and the future has been chosen, why the hell would he say this stuff if this was before the game
and like i said, your probably getting the secret ending mixed up with the scene that replaces the opening after you beat the game 100%. caius is alive dude. and hes so far the only villain to win
Never really thought about it till now, but this theme almost serves as a precursor to his victory. For instance, at 1:34 it sounds very triumphant, as though he had already won then and there. Brilliant work on the artist's part.
ladies and gentleman, the new One Winged Angel. move over, Sephiroth. we have a new fave villain and his theme is more badass and he actually did what he set out ot do.
@Retrostar07 okay. but Caius actually completed his goal and destroyed the world. true, we all know Kefka did but he got killed in the end. Sephirtoh didn't even come close but got to give him credit for summoning a mideor. Caius, on the other hand, made his goal a reality and destroy the Goddess Etro. and then the game ends, signifilly that Caius is the first villain that won and kept his victory. well, until a DLC or XIII-3 comes.
@kingofmonsters14 Caius' goal was to save Yeul which meant destroying the 'true' world. Sephiroth did come close, as he had JENOVA Absolute and achieved his 'safer' form as well as the Meteor heading for Earth. Then later plagued the land with a disease. He did a damn sight better than most villains. And Caius wasn't out to win, he was out to save Yeul. Bearing the pain of a thousand Yeul's he corrupted the timeline to save Yeul. Etro was his means, not his end.
Correct. People forgot that Caius wasn't even destorying the world because some evil purpose. He did this to SAVE YEUL, not ruling or conquering the world like II or XII and destorying the world like V and VI. I still top Kefka and Sephiroth as the two best unique villains because their purpose and personality.
Lyics in english: GODDESS OF DEATH, I have sworn to keep beloved GODDESS OF DEATH, save that during straight lines BUT IN THE HEART OF CHAOS OR PROPERTY shall make war against occurs and I will go WAY! Translation: GODDES of Death, 1 Keep WILL MY VOW MY BELOVED, GODDES of Death, 1 WILL SEE TO IT IS TIME That STEERED The Right Direction THOUGH DRAWN BY 1 AM The Heart of BEAUTIFUL CHAOS OR FORTUNE; 1 shall Bear IT works are AND me and 1 shall make
@CrimsonVermillioneye Ah, so you played through the end I see, but yes, sadly in many ways, he won. Time's screwed up due to everyone jumping around too much, the goddess dies because of caius's heart was the heart of the goddess (but wait...), and Serah dies due to seeing the future too much, there by ever hoping to stop him now. I'm curious to anyone reading this, what are your thought about this? (Yes, while it has not been confirmed, there will be a XIII-3, waaaaa....)
only think i wish his character design had diff. remove the white random fur lined boots and some more well placed armor pieces! but other than that! AWESOME!
@baileyk740 Disk two, man. It's track number 16. If you look on the left part of your case, where the game is, you'll find a booklet behind the game manual that has the track listing.
I saw him fighting in the opening sequence of Final Fantasy XIII-2 and INSTANTLY wanted him in my party~

@LordRoto Yes, but in how did they die at Augusta Tower if they didn't die at Augusta Tower? Is there some version of reality where they went to Augusta Tower and died? How come it wasn't explained or shown? Or did they never die at the Tower at all but Caius thought they did?

the reason caius won is just because the protagonists were weak.

@WhiplashSL fuck the reviewers? quite litterly only one reviewer gave the game a score less and a 7.5 and that was just edge magizine aka one of the worst ones out there currently
hell the games gotten a few perfect scores to boot
jsh020 3 days ago
@jsh020 I'm pretty sure they state that "XIII-2 fixes all the problems that XIII had", yet they proceed to give it a lower score than what XIII got, like GameInformer did.
WhiplashSL 3 days ago
@WhiplashSL oh yah, thats BS, its just a clusterfuck though
like gameinformer said the gameplay was amazing but story sucked
playstation magizine then says the story is a beautiful tale with great characters and so much heart but hates the gameplay
honestly the only reviewer that seemed to actually play the game was gametrailers, and their usually awful so its kinda surprising
jsh020 3 days ago
@jsh020 I actually loved the story in XIII-2, needless to say it was confusing at first, with the whole Paradox Effect and whatnot, but it made sense after the Bresha Ruins.
WhiplashSL 3 days ago
@WhiplashSL yah i agree but i though 13's story was better and ultimately 13 was better
i though noel and caius were 2 of the best characters square has ever written but serah taking the top shots held it back and aside from hope all the original characters got buped down to side characters
i wish they would have spent more time on it, fix the frame rates, and make it longer, also have more party members,hey 13-3/dlc sequel pretty much forces noel, hope and sahz to party up so theres that
jsh020 3 days ago
@jsh020 I never had frame rate problems, aside from my ventures into 4XX Academia.
WhiplashSL 3 days ago
@WhiplashSL 4XX is where its most apparent, all the academia were bad with the frame rate
you can tlel they didnt finish what they original set out to do int he time they were shooting for
jsh020 3 days ago
@jsh020 But for a game that was in development for a year (XIII launched in March of 2010, while XIII-2 launched in January of 2012), it's really impressive.
WhiplashSL 3 days ago
@WhiplashSL incorrect, it was in development for borderline 2 years, 13-2 start in january of 2010 before it had even released in america, to top that off square did not work alone, tri-ace developer of star ocean was a magor helpt to the development of this game.'
yes its impressive to make a 20 hour game in that time but seeing how 13 was only in development for even less time than 13-2(13 didnt start development till 08) and that game was 40 hours its quite disappointing
jsh020 3 days ago
@jsh020 13 started development in 2006 i believe dont quote me though
3andathumbdowm 2 days ago
@3andathumbdowm in technicality 2005, but that wasnt the 13 we got, it was a version for the ps2 that got canned and restarted, just like versus they worked on it here and there but it never went into full production till 2008(versus went into full development last year)
so yes in technicality the games been in development since before 08 but not really.
jsh020 2 days ago
@jsh020 ya it was something along those lines. i remember a trailer being released in 2006 but as you said not even close to the 13 we got in the end
3andathumbdowm 1 day ago
@3andathumbdowm that was a cgi trailer showing what they wanted the battle system to be like. 13-3 was alot more closer to that trailer than 13 was, and im only saying that cause of the odin and caius's first final boss form fight where the battle stage was moving
jsh020 1 day ago
I like that Caius is likeable, and not just evil like regular villiains. It's nice to have an insight into why a person chooses to do something, instead of the run-of-the-mill crazies who just want to see shit hit the fan sometimes.

This theme is on par with One Winged Angel no doubt. Best villain themes I've ever heard on ANY videogame PERIOD. However as a villain, Sephiroth is still miles ahead IMO. Caius may have "won" but he just lacked that certain... Evil wickedness about him...

@RoyAndKimble dude just listen to the freaking diolouge, hes talking about how etro and light are dead, the world is in chaos, and how every time anotomly has been fixed and the future has been chosen, why the hell would he say this stuff if this was before the game
and like i said, your probably getting the secret ending mixed up with the scene that replaces the opening after you beat the game 100%. caius is alive dude. and hes so far the only villain to win
jsh020 3 days ago
@jsh020 Caius is not alive...
If you understand, time does not flow where he died, he cannot exist within ANY reality.
He still won, but he is dead....
*Sigh... He knows the outcome... so that's why he said in the beginning...
Stop trying when you evidently haven't put enough thought into this.
RoyAndKimble 3 days ago
Never really thought about it till now, but this theme almost serves as a precursor to his victory. For instance, at 1:34 it sounds very triumphant, as though he had already won then and there. Brilliant work on the artist's part.

@Retrostar07 I disagree. I thought he was memorable. The scene with him and Noel on Valhalla's shores is one of my favorites from ANY RPG.
DonnieDarkoRemains 4 days ago
@Retrostar07 okay. but Caius actually completed his goal and destroyed the world. true, we all know Kefka did but he got killed in the end. Sephirtoh didn't even come close but got to give him credit for summoning a mideor. Caius, on the other hand, made his goal a reality and destroy the Goddess Etro. and then the game ends, signifilly that Caius is the first villain that won and kept his victory. well, until a DLC or XIII-3 comes.
kingofmonsters14 4 days ago
@kingofmonsters14 Caius' goal was to save Yeul which meant destroying the 'true' world. Sephiroth did come close, as he had JENOVA Absolute and achieved his 'safer' form as well as the Meteor heading for Earth. Then later plagued the land with a disease. He did a damn sight better than most villains. And Caius wasn't out to win, he was out to save Yeul. Bearing the pain of a thousand Yeul's he corrupted the timeline to save Yeul. Etro was his means, not his end.
JustARTificial 4 days ago
@JustARTificial
Correct. People forgot that Caius wasn't even destorying the world because some evil purpose. He did this to SAVE YEUL, not ruling or conquering the world like II or XII and destorying the world like V and VI. I still top Kefka and Sephiroth as the two best unique villains because their purpose and personality.
Retrostar07 4 days ago
@kingofmonsters14
I know but Kefka and Sephiroth's characters outshine Caius and they are more evil. Caius did this because of one girl.

Time's screwed up due to everyone jumping around too much, the goddess dies because of caius's heart was the heart of the goddess (but wait...), and Serah dies due to seeing the future too much, there by ever hoping to stop him now. I'm curious to anyone reading this, what are your thought about this? (Yes, while it has not been confirmed, there will be a XIII-3, waaaaa....)
