The story so far
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIII is the story of the Fal'Cie, godlike beings created from crystals and residing within them. Individuals marked by the Fal'Cie for a greater destiny are known as l'Cie, and are granted power to aid them in fulfilling the tasks set by the Fal'Cie. These tasks are revealed through focuses, visions that the l'Cie experience. L'Cie have a limited amount of time in which to complete their focus, and if they fail they become beasts known as Cie Corpses.
The game takes place in two places, Gran Pulse and Cocoon. Both of these have their own Fal'Cie, who have fought against each other many times in the past. The planet Gran Pulse is relatively primitive, with its inhabitants being mainly tribal communities. Gran Pulse is home to many strange and different monsters, with dinosaur-like creatures living in its plains and dragons flying the skies.
Cocoon couldn’t be any more different, it is a technologically advanced world created by the Fal'Cie thirteen centuries before. It floats high above the surface of Gran Pulse, with its Fal'Cie providing all that humans needed to survive. Cocoon is densely populated, and ruled over by a theocratic government known as Sanctum. Sanctum prohibits Cocoon citizens having contact with Gran Pulse, and quarantines any who do with the aid of their army PSICOM.
Before the beginning of the game, Gran Pulse's Fal'Cie are transported to Cocoon, contained in a structure that lands in the coastal city of Bowdam, where Serah, Lightning and NORA all live. Serah Fannon ,Lightning’s younger sister, comes into contact with Gran Pulse's Fal'Cie and accidently becomes a l'Cie herself.
The game begins with Lightning, a former Sergeant in PSICOM, infiltrating a train which is carrying prisoners for quarantine. With the help of Sazh Katzroy, (a friend from Lightning's military service) she manages to stop the train and stop the transport of the prisoners onboard. However this does not appear to be her ultimate goal, she seems to be searching Hanged Edge (the location where prisoners are transferred through) for Gran Pulse's Fal'Cie, likely to find aid for her younger sister. Team NORA, a justice group led by Snow Villiers, join the battle to save the prisoners and inadvertently come across Oerba Dia Vanille and Hope Estheim (whose mother falls in the battle taking place, leading to his utter hatred of Snow). Through a chain of events Lightning, Sazh, Snow, Vanille and Hope find Gran Pulse's Fal'Cie, and they all themselves become l'Cie.
In the beginning of Final Fantasy XIII, all of Gran Pulse is outraged with Cocoon, and they organize an assault against Cocoon, which Lightning leads. This builds into a quasi-revolution. It's said that Cocoons strengths as a fortress are susceptible to infiltration, which furthermore is frightening to the citizens that live in Cocoon as this could open up Cocoon to possibly falling from its place in the sky.
Later they meet up with Oerba Yun Fang, another l'Cie who is working for Cocoon's Sanctum alongside Cid Raines.
