Final Fantasy 13 Characters – Find Out Who’s in the Game!

Final Fantasy 13 Characters – Find Out Who’s in the Game!

Final Fantasy 13 (also known as FFXIII) is the latest game in the massively popular Role Playing Game series created by Square Enix.

She, like Cloud, has a dark, mysterious past, and it is known that she was an orphan from an early age.

Vanille is another of the Final Fantasy 13 characters, and she originally starts out on the opposite side to Lightning; as a rebel who fights against the Cocoon army. She is another female character, who lives in a town called Pulse after being forced out of Cocoon. After the events at the start of the game, she joins up with Lightning and a team is formed.

The third main character in that team is called Snow.
