Final Fantasy XIII was actually invented by the ancient Mayans to predict the end of the world. That's why its so linear. When you beat it, the world ends!

Langdon Robert is really cool. He's a lot like me so you should like him. Langdon is a professor for Harvard, but even though he's an American he is generous enough to teach the people of Eurostan about THE CODE.

"You see" said Langdon lecturing the poor non-Americans. "The triforce represents wisdom, courage and power. The pokéball is an device the ancient spirans used to summon Aeons to fight sin. I could go on."

"Thank you kind American man for teaching our bloody ignorant arses!" said everyone because Langdon was so cool.

Just then a concierge ran into the room. "There's a bloody good bloke who wants to talk to you my chap." he said to Langdon. Langdon walked out with the bloke to speak to the guy who wants to talk to him.

Lieutenant Jérôme Collet an officer of the BFBI* addressed Langdon with a photograph gripped in his hand. The photograph was foreshadowy so I can't describe it yet.

"Hello, Langdon Robert I presume?"

"I am!"

"As you well know our government sucks and the BFBI can't rightfully be expected to solve every mystery. You we need your American advise on this."

"Well I suppose just this once." said Langdon.

"Renowned curator Jacques Saunière had his renowned ass handed to him last night. We don't know why but I have this photo of his corpse. He fell funny."

"Let me see!" said Langdon grabbing the photo from Jérôme's hand. In America that's the polite thing to do after all. The photograph was of some dead guy lying down in the shape of a star. "It must be THE CODE!" Langdon yelled. "Look! He's lying down like a pentagram. Pentagrams have 5 points. But wait, this pentagram has no circle. Generally the correct way to draw a pentagram is with a circle. Pentagrams also require 5 line segments. which means: 5-Circle-5."

"What could that mean? 5O5?"
"Its THE CODE! The ancient Ay-oh-el tribesmen used a secret CODE to communicate with other tribes. This code was called 'Leetspeek'. 505 in Leetspeek is... SOS!"

"Bloody impressive. We must save him then!"

"But he's already dead."

"But what about THE CODE?"

"I guess its useless."
