History Heartwarming / FinalFantasyXIII

-->'''Snow:''' ''[gently]'' What did I tell you? Leave the fighting to me.'

* In the end, [[SpotlightStealingSquad Snow]] steals a moment away from Serah and Lightning, and talks about planning the wedding. He tells Lightning, "I ''will'' make her happy." Lightning's response is a simple "I know." Light, isn't so [[DefrostingIceQueen icy after all.]]

-->''(Fang takes Lightning's hand, and the team's females take fighting stances in front of the King of Dragons in preparation for a serious asskicking)''

** Sazh moving to protect Vanille when Brynhildr gets ready to shoot her is also very heartwarming, given what he has just learnt about her.
* It's easy to miss, but when exploring the world with a party, if all three members stop moving and are standing close to each other; pan the camera around to the leader. He/she will give their teammates a reassuring smile.

* After a tear-inducing scene in Nautilus, wherein Sazh confronts Vanille about her lies, Brynhildr appears and readies her scythe to strike Sazh - who is willing to die at this point - down. Vanille quickly places herself between them and stares the summon down, turns her head to Sazh, and says "It's not over."

* Honestly most of the CharacterDevelopment in this game is a bunch of strangers becoming a [[TrueCompanions fond family.]]

** Shortly before that, the normally icy Lightning [[spoiler:seeing Hope's distress and ''sweeping him up in a hug'', then helping Fang scoop up Snow and saying affectionately "He's too stubborn to die,", making it clear that she cares.]]

*** Also, [[spoiler:Lightning promises Hope that [[DeclarationOfProtection she'll protect him]], and he says "Me too. I mean... [[DeclarationOfProtection I'll protect you too.]]" Awww.]]

* Lightning restoring Snow's faith that [[spoiler:Serah can, and will, be saved.]]
** Speaking of Snow and Lightning, the conversation they have about [[spoiler:what they'll do when Serah's no longer crystal]]. Seeing Lightning soften up is pretty poignant. Especially when, as the scene fades out, you see her rest her head on Snow's back.

* XIII is really just full of them. Fang and Vanille, Lightning and Snow, Lightning and Hope, Hope and Snow, Vanille and Sazh. Really, every other cutscene is gonna have some touching dialog.
** The Snow and Hope conflict. Snow's absolute refusal to leave Hope and his determination to protect him [[spoiler:even after Hope tries to kill him]] to make up for the past.
-->[[spoiler: '''Hope:''' You wanna die? Well, too bad. You ''can't''!]]

* In the end, [[SpotlightStealingSquad Snow]] [[spoiler:steals a moment away from Serah and Lightning, and talks about planning the wedding. He tells Lightning, "I ''will'' make her happy." Lightning's response is a simple "I know."]] D'aww, Light, you weren't so [[DefrostingIceQueen icy after all, were you]]?

* Despite his justifiable anger at [[spoiler:Vanille]], who was more than willing to take the blame and get killed in retribution, [[spoiler:Sazh]] can't find it in himself to hate her, much less shoot her.

** Which is followed by [[spoiler:Vanille's]]:

* After a tear-inducing scene in Nautilus, wherein [[spoiler: Sazh confronts Vanille about her lies]], Brynhildr appears and readies her scythe to strike Sazh - who is willing to die at this point - down. Vanille quickly places herself between them and stares the summon down, turns her head to Sazh, and says "It's not over."

** In fact, Bartholomew's view of the l'Cie "fugitives." While it's understandable he wouldn't see his son as a supposed "monster", he didn't know the other three at all, and yet he treats them exactly as he would other humans. Even Snow, the one indirectly responsible for Nora's death, who he'd have good reason to be angry at. But no, never once does he show suspicion or hostitily toward them. For someone living in a society where anything Pulse-related is meant to be feared/hated/destroyed, that's quite heartwarming.
*** And this is coming shortly after the mob scene that quite clearly illustrated the rampant paranoia associated with Pulse I'Cie, making it ever better that Bartholomew shows ''nothing'' of the sort.

* It's easy to miss and only a minor heartwarmer, but when exploring the world with a party, if all three members stop moving and are standing close to each other; pan the camera around to the leader. He/she will give their teammates a reassuring smile.

-->"Lot of things can be excused. Shooting kids ain't one of them."

* Hope and Vanille's scene on Gran Pulse. Him joking about having feelings for Vanille, and her cute reaction...[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YB7Tfa-eNQ so adorable!]]

--> '''Snow:''' "Serah... my one, my only... will you marry me?"

*** Also, [[spoiler:Lightning promises Hope that [[DeclarationOfProtection she'll protect him]], and he says "Me too. I mean...[[DeclarationOfProtection I'll protect you too.]]" Awww.]]
