Hi there! I know its been a couple months since you last updated and I fully understand not wanting to write with Lightning Returns coming out, but I would really appreciate it if you continued with this story. You have one of the best writing styles I've ever seen and I love your characterization of Hope and Lightning and especially them together. Keep up the good work!

I really hope you'll continue this but it is truly your choice in the end, ne? I really love the way you write and the plots you've created (I've just finished reading throught Nascent Requiem and Revenant Wings...it took me about two weeks XD) So, some story plots might accidently be shared with Lighting Returns. However, I'm sure your process will still be 100% different from what they'll come up with the same plot elements.

I'm putting this on alert in case you feel like continuing (I hope you do...yours have an active Hope! I wanna read how they reunite and Light's reaction to FF 13-2 grown up Hope!)

It's not easy to find high quality fanfiction out there, and I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into your writing. I've read your other stories as well and am impressed by the amount of thought you put into your plots and how true you stay to the characters. I'd love to see where you take this story, and hope you decide to finish this one. I'll be keeping my eye out for an update.

Hiya. Been enjoying this fic so far. And since I've only recently finished playing XIII-2, I'm still pretty much in the spirit of things. I would really like to see where this story would go. Oh, about the similarities in plot ideas .. I'd like to think that this fic would serve as an alternate storyline, you know. Keep going please.

Pffft, who cares about what's in the Lightning Returns trailer? As far as I'm concerned, excellent fic is excellent fic. Any similarities will simply be coincidence unless stated otherwise. :D This fic is so promising, so please continue!

your characterization is magnificent, your diction, imagery, everything is absolutely PERFECT. please consider continuing this fanfic, for if not, you may regret it... and have many sad, sad, hopurai readers that are simply dying for more. ;O;

I have to know what happens next! I love Hope! Please continue soon.

I'm really liking your story. It seems very well written and that you've put a lot of thought into the plot line and settings. I feel like your really getting close to the good part. I'm not so excited for Lightning Reurns due to the fact that it's going to be very different from all the final fantasy games and all of the main characters from the first are still not playable. But I really like where your going with this story so please continue! Even if their shorter chapters it would still be great. Don't give up :)

I hope you'll find the motivation to continue this story. I don't think you ought to feel like you're ripping Square off. All we know so far about Lightning Returns hints a lot more at showing off new game mechanics than a solid plot or in-depth characterization. Whereas you are building solid, enjoyable characterization with this story. In short, I think that so long as *you* want to right this story the way you had planned, you should just go ahead. Everyone can see your story was here before the spin-off and if some readers can't respect the effort you've put into it, well, no one will force them to read this, right? ;)

Okay... I am sorry for not being there for chapter 4 but as with you I also have been facing the enemy known as reality.
I really enjoy your writing and since you already started the series and have plots written down finish it and if you get an accuracy of 100% that's more of an accomplishment in my eyes than a failure because that just means Final fantasy is running out of ideas but that also mean if you do not get the accuracy and you only have a foresight of what could potentially happen then good for you too.
But I would really like for you to finish this story because I just love your writing.
Please continue!
T.o.R
Yes... I have returned.

A great short chapter. Full of suspense and shadows no matter the word count. I sincerely hope you keep working on this story as it really is good and could become great

I'm ok if you don't want to contiune this. It is your choice after all and I'll still keep a lookout for this story. Thanks for your other storys, they were awesome. From the Master of Games

Hey don't be discouraged by any of the trailers that have been released. Your ideas are original, and if you were to corectly 'guess' the exact layout of the story I would be absolutely astonished! Like totally amazed at your precognative abilities!

I would continue to support your writing no matter what. I have already read most, if not all, of your works and I will continue to read even if you plan a different story. I have thouroughly enjoyed this story so far and I hope you continue it. In my opinion your writing style and creative story telling are wonderful.

Looking forward to more updates!

Actually, I didn't even know there were new teailers. I'll have to check that out. Either way, though, if there's one thing I've learned, it's that trailers can be quite deceiving. No matter what Squeenix does, it's not likely to be infused with as much emotion and depth as your story has, and they are almost certain to disappoint in one particular area that you will not (as much as it pains me to admit) - they will likely keep Hope in a minimal role and not bother developing this pairing, no matter how much potential there is. As I continue to try and accept that this is probable, it's comforting to know that stories like yours won't relegate Hope to the backseat, considering he is my favorite character. All that said, I really look forward to more from you :D. I don't count on Square to satisfy my hopes for this game (no pun intended lol). Best of luck!

Don't let the trailer stop you hun! Let your imagination roll with your ideas whether they are similar or not. You and the Square Enix staff must have similar brainstormed ideas. ;)

I encourage you to continue and always look forward to all of your posts! :)
