Yusnaan is home to the lone fal ' Cie that continues to provide the town ' s residents with resources . Snow Villiers is the city ' s Patron , and a l ' Cie charged with protecting the fal ' Cie . The people of Yusnaan know the end of the world is near , and seek to spend their final days partying . Story . As revealed by Snow in " " , while he and the rest of the declining humanity initially lived in the deteriorating man - made Cocoon Bhunivelze , Yusnaan was created by the fal ' Cie Pandaemonium after it built Luxerion . Making its home in Yusnaan , Pandaemonium established a supply chain of food and goods to lure people to abandon the man - made Cocoon , and Snow was among the first explorers on Nova Chrysalia . The supply plant in Yusnaan was taken over by Snow , and currently provides the world with food made of Chaos , though some people prefer to grow their own food . As the last fal ' Cie of the world and Yusnaan ' s provider , it is under perpetual guard . Snow became the Patron of Yusnaan by popular demand as the populace deemed him a fair divider of the scarce resources . According to his retelling of the events in " Final Fantasy XIII : Reminiscence " , Snow gained the title of Patron from the Order , pretending to respect their authority to keep them from taking the city by force . In time , with his friends scattered to the winds and the regret of Serah ' s death heavy on his heart , the ongoing politics with Order sapped Snow of his energy . By the time Lightning awakes from crystal stasis , now a shell of his former self with his l ' Cie brand at its final stage , Snow seldom appears except during the nocturnal festivities . Snow made it law in Yusnaan the citizens are to live in perpetual celebration and revelry . During the end - of - the - world celebrations a Chaos infusion erupts within Snow ' s palace , summoning Anubys monsters . Lightning arrives and fights Snow and afterward the two deal with the monsters . After Lumina brings down the ballroom chandelier and Snow halts it , he flees deeper into the palace with Lightning in hot pursuit . She is accosted by Lumina , who claims she is different from the usual servants of Bhunivelze since she can see inside the Chaos , then summons a Zaltys to block Lightning ' s path and disappears . After defeating the Zaltys , Lightning ' s path is blocked by a barrier of Chaos , and she flees from the approaching palace guards . Lightning returns to Yusnaan determined to infiltrate the palace and free Snow from his pain . She tries to enter the palace via the Augur ' s Quarter , but lacks an ID and is refused entry . She contacts a man who can smuggle her inside and participates in a secret " tour " that leads her through Yusnaan ' s industrial area . She meets Lumina who says Yusnaan will soon be swallowed by Chaos , and says Snow no longer cares as he has been taken over by despair . Lumina summons a monster and Lightning defeats it , but its deathblow sends her falling down to the district below . She finds an ID card and uses it to access Augur ' s Quarter , where she and Hope devise a plan to get her across the palace walls . Hope suggests they topple the Statue of God and Lightning convinces the director of the night ' s play , " The Song of the Savior " , to incorporate more fireworks into the show . Lightning helps gather the fireworks and convinces the director to let her star in the play . Lightning plays her role and the statue falls allowing her to cross the palace walls . Inside she finds numerous Chaos infusions , and comes across a frozen door . Lightning finds Serah ' s engagement necklace from another room and uses it to dispel the ice from the sealed door and faces Snow . Snow plans to absorb the Chaos to save the city , and then have Lightning kill him in his Cie ' th form . Though Lightning tries to talk him out of it , Snow steps into the Chaos infusion and transforms into a mindless Cie ' th hybrid . After she subdues him , Snow remains unresponsive . Lumina appears and urges Lightning to kill him , saying it ' s what he has been waiting for , but Lightning pleads for Snow to return to his senses , saying Serah still needs him . Snow snaps out of his stupor and his transformation is reversed . His soul is saved and Lightning leaves him with a task to continue protecting Yusnaan until it is eventually destroyed along with the rest of Nova Chrysalia . Locations . Coliseum Square .
