Savior (Lightning Returns)



Savior is a term from Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. It is the name given to a warrior chosen by Bhunivelze to usher in the new world. According to a prophecy stored in the Oracle Drive, the Savior is a harbinger of doom who will attempt to destroy the world, and that a hero will rise up and prevent the Savior from performing their task.

Lightning is the current Savior, and consequently Noel Kreiss is determined to fight and defeat her, believing himself to be the 'hero' of the prophecy. There have apparently been several Saviors, but Lightning, according to Lumina, is different from the others.
