A lot more Characters on Final Fantasy XIII-2

[Victoria]

....Fang and Vanille are dead. Have you even played the first FFXIII? Or beaten it at all?
Yaag and Jihl and Cid are dead also. Sazh and Dazh... who knows. I don't really see a reason for Dazh to be in the game. He'd still be a little kid.

Snow is unknown right now, but he may make a cameo appearance, who knows. We'll have to see when the game comes out. I believe someone already answered your question about cid and stuff. >_>

and Hope? **** Hope. I hope I don't see him in the game at all.

So crystallized=dead, huh?

Have YOU played the first FFXIII? I'm pretty sure a major theme in the game is that CRYSTALLIZED =/= DEAD.

Also, they were talking at the end. That's tough to do if you're dead.

Judging by your pic, I'd say you already played FFIX. Your statement is pretty contradictory if you did then, because in FFIX *SPOILER* Garland clearly spoke to you after he died.

On this subject, I haven't played, but maybe I will...

hope's dad is still alive and captain rygdia did not die at all

Actually since Bartholomew, Hope's father, was in the care of the Cavalry we, the players, don't know the fate of Bartholomew at the end of Final Fantasy XIII since the Cavalry was transformed into C'ieth during Chapter 12. Leading me into my next point, the Cavalry were transformed to C'ieth in Chapter 12 and it is presumed that the party fights them throughout the level. Meaning that Rygdea is dead as well unless another miracle happened.
