When Lightning returns to Luxerion, Vanille tells her the holy clavis acts like a coffin to contain the dead when she calls them to her during the ritual. She says that even if the Soulsong will wipe out the dead, she needs to do it; otherwise, the souls will suffer inside the Chaos forever.
Vanille says that after the Soulsong kills her, she will join the dead, erased from all memory with them. At the end of the eleventh day, Lightning learns from the souls of the dead in the form of Cid Raines that, unknown to Vanille, she has the power to help them be reborn in the new world.
On the eve of the Apocalypse, Lumina reveals to Lightning the Soulsong's true nature. The Order seeks to destroy the dead and erase their existence from the living's memories, "purifying" them of their burdened pasts so they can be reborn in the new world with a clean slate and live in bliss as per the god Bhunivelze's vision.
The Order has kept the truth from Vanille and tricked her into believing the Soulsong will save the dead from their suffering. In God's Sanctum, with several disciples, sentries, and the Order's high priestess present, Vanille faces the clavis and begins the Soulsong. Lightning and Fang interfere and divulge the Order's true motives, but Vanille can't ignore the dead's cries and feels the need to pay for her sins.
At Lightning's urging, Vanille listens to the dead, and the high priestess attempts to force her to continue the ritual by claiming her pain stems from the dead's corruption by the Chaos. Vanille learns none of the dead wishes for oblivion, and she kept hearing them because, despite their suffering, they wish to be reborn.
She halts the Soulsong and decides to guide the souls to the Ark so they can be reborn in the new world. To complete the ritual, the high priestess strikes Vanille down for her defiance against God and has the holy clavis begin to drain her life, producing a light powerful enough to destroy the souls. With Snow's timely arrival, he destroys the clavis, and the released energy obliterates the high priestess. Guiding the dead to the Ark with Fang's help saves Vanille's soul as well.
After the final bell on the world tolls, Bhunivelze takes the souls of Vanille, Snow, Fang, and Noel. She returns to Lightning's side during the final battle before witnessing Nova Chrysalia's destruction. She then accompanies her friends to the new world, no longer a tool of the gods. Fang and Vanille stay together in the new world and move to an arid region near a remote village in an area full of cattle ranches and rocky wilderness.
The pair makes their abode amid abandoned ruins as they "remind them of home". A reporter named Aoede interviews the two on her quest to uncover the truth behind people's suppressed memories of another world. Fang and Vanille tell her how they saved Cocoon by turning to crystal and remained asleep for centuries. Hope had their crystal salvaged from the pillar before it shattered, and the organization he had formed, the Conseil de Renaissance, safeguarded them.
When they awoke, Vanille had wanted to thank Hope, but Bhunivelze had already kidnapped him, and thus the pair fell under the Order's watchful eye.
As she saw the Order's teachings act as a lifeline for the suffering populace after Hope's disappearance, Vanille wanted to help the organization as their saint, unaware they were manipulating her and using her as a means to an end. The Order told her what she wanted to hear and convinced her that, by following their orders, she could help everyone.
Vanille took their lies at face value, and before she knew it, she bought into Bhunivelze's scheme. They don't know how or why they awoke from crystal stasis but speculate that either Bhunivelze or Lumina was responsible. Fang describes Lumina as a brat who was "Chaos personified" who was yet attached to Vanille for some reason. Vanille says Lumina might have been the one who woke them up so she would have someone to indulge her because even though she came across as a spiteful prankster, in reality, Lumina was a lonely girl who wanted attention.
Fang says that many of the Order's followers were decent people who treated her and Vanille well. However, those in the upper echelons were rotten garbage who exploited Vanille's desire to help the suffering populace and atone for the past to control her.
Fang explains the Order would've erased everyone's memories if Lightning hadn't saved everyone. When Aoede enthuses over learning more of Lightning and wants to thank her in person, Vanille and Fang assure her Lightning's wish for the world has come true if everyone is content with living in the new world. She wields binding rods in battle, and her Eidolon—whom she acquires last of all party members—is the Earth-elemental Hecatoncheir. Her full ATB skill is Death.
She has slow casting animations but high Magic Power and more HP than the party's other dedicated mage character: Hope. I created 'Vanille's Theme' to match a sad scene, but when the character and her scenes were revealed, I found that the sad piece didn't complement her any more, and an earnest and bright piece to fit the character's mindset popped into my mind.
The third variant, "Memories of Happier Days", begins with solo piano like her original theme but turns into a melancholy yet uplifting orchestral piece. It plays when Lightning reunites with Vanille, and they converse in God's Sanctum. Vanille has appeared in the following media throughout the Final Fantasy series :.
According to the Final Fantasy XIII Ultimania Omega , the development team at one point considered making Vanille the official main character; however, they dismissed the idea as they had already released a trailer and art featuring Lightning in that role. In the original game, her lies cost many people their lives.
The torture she suffered from the resultant guilt led Vanille to believe that sacrificing herself to save the souls of the dead would rectify everything, but her "purity" made her easy to mislead about the actual consequences of her well-intentioned sacrifice. A photo of Vanille and Fang can be found in Oerba on a table in the house where Bhakti is found, proof of their past existence. It goes from stage 1 to 3 when she realizes it's her fault Dajh became a Sanctum l'Cie.
It advances to to 4 when meeting Serah on the beach, and when Vanille shows her brand to the others in Lake Bresha, it is in this stage. It goes from stage 5 to 7 when Nabaat reveals Vanille's involvement in the Euride incident; to 8 when the party's l'Cie powers are fully awoken in the Fifth Ark; to 11 during the party's initial exploration of Gran Pulse; to 12 when the party arrives in Eden; and to stage 13 when she transforms into Ragnarok with Fang.
Unlike the others, Vanille's brand never turns white, likely because Etro doesn't interact with her as she does with them reverting Fang from her Ragnarok state during the War of Transgression and possibly releasing the others from their Cie'th state when they face Orphan.
Vanille's brand is rarely seen due to her skirt covering it. Vanille and Fang speak with an accent different from the rest of the party. They speak in an Okinawan dialect of Japanese in the original version and with an Australian accent in the English localization. The idea to cast two characters with Australian accents came from the localization team, who requested the voice directing team to look for either Australian- or New Zealand-sounding voices.
The rationale was for Fang and Vanille to sound like they're from another world, but more in the sense of their voices having a different melody rather than a thick accent. Vanille's Japanese voice actress is Yukari Fukui. Her English voice actress is Georgia van Cuylenburg , who spent six months recording Vanille's dialogue. She had two recording sessions per week, which lasted four hours.
While the other characters in Final Fantasy XIII were intended to be "Americanized", Georgia van Cuylenburg was asked to adhere to the original Japanese performance and use a "high, squeaky, and upbeat" voice, [6] as Vanille initially wants to mislead others with her happiness.
Georgia van Cuylenburg has stated the most challenging aspect of voicing Vanille was making a high-pitched moan required for the character, which wasn't easy to make sound natural. During the February interview with Final Fantasy Union , Georgia van Cuylenburg commented how she and Vanille are alike with their past since Georgia also hid some issues under a carefree girl's guise.
She compared Vanille's breakdown in the scene with Sazh to a similar situation from years before recording Vanille when she lost her hair to alopecia , which helped her relate to Vanille and enhanced her performance. Action figures of Vanille were released as part of the Play Arts series. In ancient Greek religion and folklore, Dia means "heavenly", "divine", or "she who belongs to Zeus". The name is attributed to several figures and treated like an honorific or title. This may allude to her bright personality.
With a long "i" sound, the Japanese pronunciation of Dia is also a common Japanese abbreviation for "diamond", possibly relating to Hecatoncheir being an Earth-elemental summon. However, the Japanese pronunciation of her clan name is different. They sleep through the earth's destruction and, upon awakening, will find the world verdant again. Final Fantasy Wiki Explore.

Not really , i mostly played the game with the original japanese voice.. She is just truly annoying to some of us regardless of who's voicing her.
As for the thread i dont even see how she's sexualized here Here are my questions. Who, besides someone trying to get everyone to take him more seriously than he deserves, calls Vanille by her whole name? I haven't seen anyone do this until now. Is this guy frickin' nuts? Let's examine. The word sexualize, or its variants, are used 17 times in the article.
Sometimes in quick succession. This sounds like someone who is either obsessed, or really trying to drive home a point no one else would agree with. Same deal here. And Vanille's weapon is not a whip, it's meant to be like a Staff or Rod weapon because Vanille's main job is as a caster, not a fighter.
Because she can be a fighter though, she needs to be able to do physical attacks. Since guns and a boomerang were taken, what would this guy have wanted Vanille's weapon to be? That's why when she had to show her brand, it was to a female character without the camera letting you peak at her boobs. But oh no, you get to see a character's hip. You know that giant, world destroying monster?
You expect her to be fully clothed after having turned into that and fulfilling her Focus? Fang was naked too, why aren't you complaining about that? Because the camera didn't focus on Fang? So what, you should obviously know that Fang was also naked. When her eidolon produces this massive explosion Vanille closes her eyes and throws her head back with what can only be described as a look of ecstasy on her face and of course the trademark high-pitched moan returns as she does so.
This just shows you're reading way too much into this and actually have a dirty mind. With that in mind, take a look at this and tell me if I'm right or not. So normal women are nigh emotionless men in female bodies pissed off at the world and rude to everyone around them?
Lightning was made to be a female Cloud, not to be more representative of women. Every day I see garbage like this, and every day I have to wonder if there is something in the air or water that I must be immune to because I can't fathom how anyone can invent issues like this and then obsess over them. Nothing sexual entered my mind pertaining to Vanille at any point. She's apparently 19 years old, but comes off as being Ok, was just wandering.
All the same, I just hope SE write better characters next time. Prompto doesn't fill me with confidence, though I also don't think over-sexualisation ruined her. It's like saying that the smell ruins a bowl of turd - even without the smell, it would still be turd. Likewise, even if she wore less revealing clothes and had less orgasmic noises, she would still be the a terribly bad character.
I liked the cast, for the same reason I liked the cast of Yes, Vanille is annoying but that makes her more likable for me. The super teenagers saving the world stories became too weird with time. In 8 all of them grew up together, in 7 all characters were somehow special, only Tifa was ordinary but still - big boobs to make her "special".
Thing is, annoying people do exist. Not everyone can be a cool superhero. I understand that these are fantasy games, but I can enjoy and get into the story much easier when the characters are believable. And saving the world is much more satisfying if ordinary people do it.
Only Hope bested her as the most annoying character. After 13 i played 12 for a bit just to check and Vaan looks badass compared to these 2. Ironic that they're against this but use sex with journalists to advance their own goals.
You tell them to dress up more it's oppression, you tell them they look good or even look at their exposed body for too long it's sexual harrasment. You can't win. I hate the fact that women can dress how ever sexy they want and show their ass around the gym for example.
Then they go around shaming men for only thinking about sex all the time. Wth are we supposed to do? We get aroused by visuals and having seen all that skimpy clothing and ass spreading at the gym and around town we are shamed for getting aroused and feeling horny.
These SJW feminists are fighting biology and people actually take them seriously? It pisses me off royaly. If we work out and a girl compliments us we should publicly shame her for objectifying men and only wanting sex, cause lets be honest, girls don't approach good looking guys only to have small talk. They look at your bulge on a train, publicly shame them, they look at you when you take of your shirt, publicly shame them, they look at you longer than 5 seconds on the beach, publicly shame them, they go to watch magic mike yeah right, no objectifying of men, just look at how much profit the movie made protest in front of the cinema and expose women as the sex-wanting, men-objectifying, doublefaced beasts they are.
I think your way too sensitive. I mean why aren't you complaining that all male characters in games are drawn musclebound and fit? User Info: Ladysoalluring. I couldn't do it" - Vanille. Vanille has the most annoying voice ever I noticed she does moan alot, if you look away from the screen and listen to it. It just sound like a a geeks porno with moaning and monsters. User Info: the void.
Sound is a big part of games but at least I found her tolerable. Back in star ocean 2 I chose my team members largely based on who sounded hilariously awful, as opposed to who sounded nerve-gratingly awful. Official "Vanille" of the Dissidia Duodecim boards "To hate, to hurt, to destroy I never thought of Vanille like that up until I came onto these boards. And then I found it really weird throughout the rest of my playthrough. User Info: Shadax The girl who did her voice was interviewed about it and she said she was told to do it like that explicitly and she also said it made her go wtf somewhat and feel uncomfortable while recording all the moans.
