I love the end; it's like even Lighting's fed up with the lack of a leading man. Amazing video, and where'd you find the song?

@AnimeLover147

I actually found the song a while back surfing around on a (legal) streaming program called Spotify. I then located it on Amazon for download :)

Haha omg that was really funny and for some reason I started missing balthier XD

but to be honest with u I wish all FF main characters were girls, gotta love girls with blades @@

[monkeypants06]

@divinedevil999

Women with swords make fab characters x

D: That is so true...XIII barely had any men. I'm not complaining because my slightly-feministic side is pleased but I miss my "Bathiers". Where are my dashing young men who come and swoop me off of my feet and save the day with their smiles and awesomeness?

It was slightly empowering to have my top three characters all female, but I miss my staple sexy guy, because I am shallow in my gaming preferences <3

snow and balthier are awesome. Balthier>>>>>ff12 Snow>>>>>>>FF13

I dont liike the characters of type 0 who have cool looks and stupid personality. I like a character depending on how they are not how they look.

Hilarious laugh out loud video. Fantastic. Someone had posted all the cutscenes to FFXII so I knew the back story to Balthier and how he always referred to himself as the Leading Man in the story.

this video made me cry

thank you monkey pants for a memorial of this tradegy

RIP:the leading man

[Bakugan0981]

I LOL'ed this! I think Noel this time around will be the leading main character in FFXIII-2 gameplay wise. Lightning will remain the focal point of the story though. Anyway love this, muchas gracias!

[SunnytheGraverobber]

love it love it love it <3

[aebuder00]

Thank you this vid it's so much fun!

[LightningFarron1]

Yeah Snow was a pretty weak male lead(he was missing for so long and barely used in the forced party section XD) but at least we got Lightning as the main character of FFXIII :D

[TenSpeedOfCoheed]

Man, I cannot find that song anywhere...

[divinedevil999]

wow im really happy to see this video up for 8 months without a singel dislike =3 I think this is the first one on yt XD

[TheElizander]

So TRUE. I have no complains about having a girl for "Main Hero" in FFXIII. After all Girls with guns and swords are awesome... But no when they and ALL the main characters are nothing but empty vessels for cliche phrases with a total lack of charm or anything remotely originall.
