Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay so am I the only person who was A) totally confused by the ending of the game, and/or B) extremely angry about how it ended? It just does not make sense to me. I get the whole part between Lightning and Serah (believe me the extra DLC of Lightning's story does contribute to the reasons for their conclusion and the reason why she is in crystal stasis), but what about everybody else? The world transforms into Valhalla, so are people like Noel and Hope dead? What about their endings? To me it just seems like everything you've been building up to by that point is just completely torn apart and that just leaves the player feeling completely hopeless and just like, "well I wasted so and so hours of my life trying to save a world that was just going to be destroyed anyways." Then there's the whole "To be continued" screen that just stares at you like now what. Does this means there's going to be a XIII-3 in which the world is restored or are there more DLC being created to expand the story? While there have been little hints pf successive storylines, the actual quotes used to validate this give such little information and they only center on Lightning and Serah's story (which is such a narrow margin of the story).

I know I'm ranting, but the ending of this game has annoyed me so much that I just needed to bounce off these ideas with other FF players who might have a better understanding then I have. I can definitely expand on any information I've mentioned here (such as the confusion surrounding Lightning and Serah's ending) so if you have any questions let me know. Meanwhile I'll see if I can search out more interpretations and information and post back here.
