I'm here, alive and kicking. Probably thought I was dead, didn't ya? So, the prophecy that Doomsday is here has officially come and gone (Writing this on the 22 December 2012… had to wait for the Americas to catch us in Asia) and we're still here! Lightning would be getting a new game too! So let's get on with it! As the FFXIII Cast Reviews:

21 December 2012: The End That Never Came

Director: Woohoo! It is good to be back!

Hope: Will this be quick? I have things to invent and oversee.

Director: When did you go all sourpuss? Oh… I see. Okay then, folks I know this is recent development but Hope just grew up! Meet the Director of the Academy, Hope Estheim!

Fang: Didn't you two meet daily for your gaming sessions or something?

Director: Yeah… just not face to face. There's something called the internet.

Vanille: I heard about that! Sazh watches women on it!

Sazh: Where did you get that idea!?

Vanille: I saw you when you asked me to babysit Dajh.

Fang: Eww.

Sazh: They happened to be fully clothes ladies. I was trying out this online dating thing.

Fang: Oh.

Director: What about you and Snow, Serah?

Serah: Well, they found out they both like eating so they bonded over food.

Noel: It wasn't like that.

Snow: No, no. We punched each other till we liked it! None of that 'bonding over dinner' kind of thing.

Noel: Exactly. But I've gotta say… I really like them crepes.

Vanille: I when to China to look at pandas!

Fang: I wanted to eat one. But they said they were endangered animals. If they were so dangerous, it would make sense to eat one, right?

Hope: I don't want to be the one to explain what 'endangered' is to her.

Director: Light, how about you?

Lightning: You didn't come to training with me because you were playing 'games' with Hope…

Director: I didn't tell you? Completely slipped my mind, can I apologize?

Lightning: No…

Director: …

Snow: Awkward…

Serah: Snow!

Hope: Snow hasn't change at all.

Snow: And you like pink hair, you punk! I saw you holding Serah's hand for way too long, buddy!

Hope: You were nicer to me when I was younger.

Fang: You seem more confident of yourself too.

Hope: I had a great teacher.

Vanille: Who? Me, Sazh or the chocobo?

Sazh: Probably me. I am a great guy after all.

Hope: -Facepalm-

Director: Here about the end of the world and all… Light, I am sorry. I'll make it up to you. I promise.

Lightning: I still have a job to do, I can't indulge in forgiveness.

Director: Come on, look on the bright side. You're getting a new game dedicated to you.

Fang: She's getting to be in another one? That's just flan poo.

Snow: Maybe if you commit to kissing Light they'll consider you.

Vanille: Hee hee.

Serah: I think Vanille looks forward to it.

Noel: Kiss?

Hope: It's where two people engage in… lip giving?

Director: Ugh. Put your lips on someone and that is kissing… in its most basic sense.

Sazh: We're here for something, right?

Lightning: This 'End of the World' nonsense.

Director: I wanted to go off in a blaze of glory if it was true actually.

Lightning: What the hell was your plan?

Director: Stuff fire crackers down my pants and run down the street screaming like a girl.

Vanille: That sounds dangerous but something Fang might do.

Fang: Hey! Well maybe…

Sazh: Wanted to see if a giant lizard started terrorizing Tokyo.

Hope: That sounds like a good idea… why didn't I think about it.

Serah: You were busy making this a better place.

Snow: Yeah! Thanks, now I can eat bananas and not get jumped by lunatics wanting to eat some.

Noel: That was me and that was my banana!

Fang: Guys and their bananas.

Director: Fang and Vanille, you're next.

Vanille: I wanted a panda.

Fang: And that's all she's going to bring up if we keep discussing this topic.

Director: Okay… How about a panda?

Vanille: WHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Lightning: Ow, my ear.

Director: Nice to see Claire still has sarcasm on her side.

Lightning: I want to punch you in the face so badly…

Director: Hope, your plans before I die.

Hope: I wanted to… go on a… date with… Light…

Lightning: Sure.

Serah: Really? We can go on a double date!

Snow: Will you be wearing a dress?

Sazh: I don't even think she owns one.

Noel: Or seen one.

Fang: Ouch! That was harsh.

Noel: I was being left out.

Vanille: How 'bout hanging out with me?

Noel: Sure… I guess that'll be fun.

Fang: Well, that just leaves you, me and Director.

Director: I've got work.

Sazh: On Christmas?

Director: Perks of being in the army I guess. Somebody has to protect you guys.

Fang: Don't know what old people do for fun but how 'bout we spy on the double date?

Sazh: Sound fine to me. I always wanted to play detective.

Serah: We're still here you know.

Fang: Just play along!

Director: Well, I'm done here. I apologise to Snow, Serah and Noel for not asking about dooms day but we can only go so far. See you all next time!

TIME TO WATCH MORE PONY!
