Datalog (Final Fantasy XIII)/Society

The following is a list of Datalog entries for the Society of Final Fantasy XIII-2. It should be noted that some of the data is updated during the course of the game.

Fal'Cie and L'Cie
Added at the beginning of Episode One, in New Bodhum -003 AF-

The fal'Cie are supernatural entities that once governed the floating paradise of Cocoon.

These godlike beings possess the power to curse humans, transforming them into 'l'Cie.' Lightning and Serah were once enslaved as l'Cie, and given the task of destroying Cocoon.

Lightning defied the will of the fal'Cie, and steered her fate down a different road. Following the catastrophe, the fal'Cie of Cocoon fell into slumber. A different group of fal'Cie exists on Gran Pulse, but they show little interest in the activities of humans.

L'Cie and Cie'th
Added at the beginning of Episode One, in New Bodhum -003 AF-

L'Cie are the cursed human servants of the fal'Cie. Those chosen to serve find their bodies marked with a 'brand,' and are given orders in the form of a vague vision. This vision is known as a 'Focus,' and l'Cie are granted magical powers in order to fulfill their abstract destiny.

L'Cie that complete their Focus are transformed into eternal crystals. Those who fail to do so within the allotted time are stripped of their brand, and become hideous monsters known as 'Cie'th.' These mindless creatures are bereft of emotion and reason, and lose all semblance of humanity.

Serah was once chosed as a l'Cie, but through the heroic efforts of her fiance and her sister she was safely returned to her human self.
