Farseer The Farseer tribe is the oldest known tribe on Gran Pulse , introduced in " Final Fantasy XIII - 2 " . Unlike the other residents of Gran Pulse , the Farseers worship Etro as their patron goddess and were able to survive the calamity caused by the War of Transgression . According to Captain Cryptic ' s Confounding Quiz , there was a Farseer legend where they had the power to turn people into l ' Cie , but it has not been passed down for generations . Datalog . " Centuries in the past on Gran Pulse , a people known as the Farseers built the prosperous city of Paddra . They flourished under the guidance of the seeress , whose predictions of the future guided the growth of their civilization . " " After the War of Transgression that took place between Cocoon and Pulse , it is thought that the Farseer civilization died out . Another theory suggests that the people of Paddra became a nomadic tribe , and still roam the wilds of Gran Pulse . " Story . In every generation , an identical girl is born with the " Eyes of Etro " , an ability bestowed upon her by Etro which allows her to see into the future . The girl is always named " Yeul " , and although she could see visions of the future , she would do nothing to change it , as it could bring catastrophe upon humanity . Yeul would store her visions in a device known as the Oracle Drive , and they would become known as prophecies . " Final Fantasy XIII - 2 Fragments After " reveals that another law the Farseers lived by was to not allow the existence of paradoxes in time . In the oldest Farseer tribe of ancient city of Paddra in the Yaschas Massif , Yeul was a respected leader and was protected by her Guardian , one of many warriors marked by a Pulse fal ' Cie with the Focus to protect Yeul . One notable Guardian was Gorgyra , a girl who chose to become Yeul ' s guardian . She was once fooled and in turn , the seeress ' s life was put in danger . Although Yeul forgave her Guardian , Gorgyra was not able to forgive herself and requested to become a Cie ' th as punishment . The last Guardian , Caius Ballad , was freed from his l ' Cie fate by Etro who placed her own heart within him , granting him eternity to protect Yeul ' s reincarnations until the end of time . Caius came to replace the Oracle Drive in that he would remember all of her visions of time and space . When Yeul predicted the fall of Paddra 170 years before the War of Transgression , it caused a great disturbance in the city and Paddra fell due to the civil war that broke out among its people . Shortly before the fall of the city , the remaining Farseers abandoned the city and went into the wild , avoiding the rest of mankind , becoming a nomadic tribe . A nomadic people encountered in the Archylte Steppe in an unknown year may be descendants of the Farseers , although this is never specified , as neither Yeul nor her Guardian Caius are met among them . Seven hundred years after the Day of Ragnarok , the Farseers settle in a place called the Dying World and are the last remaining humans on the planet , but even this last settlement dies out , until only one member of the tribe is left : Noel Kreiss . Noel sets out on a quest to travel through time in order to change the future of the world and stop it from falling into ruin . According to Daisuke Watanabe , lead scenario writer for " Final Fantasy XIII - 2 " , the Farseers still exist in the present days of " Final Fantasy XIII - 2 " , and even in the time period Noel comes from . They live hidden , far away from all other human beings . They are aware of the prophecy that warns of potential conflicts between humans ; they therefore avoid contact with modern civilization and chose never again to use technology like the Oracle Drives . Musical themes . The Farseers have the eponymous theme called " Song of the Farseers " . It features a brooding melody and has Joelle providing a lyrical overture composed of a simple phonetic sound . Its melody is based off the track " Paradox " and is identical to " Yeul ' s Theme " with the only exception being the lack of literary lyrics . Etymology . " Farseer " derives from two English words : " far " , which describes a long distance , and " seer " , a person who looks into the future .
