 * A total of thirteen locations are visited over the course of Final Fantasy XIII-3.
 * There is a scene in Final Fantasy XIII-3 where Lightning dreams she is completely alone on Sazh's airplane. Caius appears before her as a thunderstorm begins outside. The shadow of Bhunivelze appears in the clouds, foreshadowing his return.
 * Caius is not like other humans. He was forged by Mwynn from the Unseen Chaos, which was created by Yeul's splintered soul.
 * Caius teaches Lightning and her allies about Mwynn, as well as the realm of the gods and true unseen realm, Asgard.
 * There are two types of Chaos: the Unseen Chaos that comes from Yeul, and the chaos, the dark nothingness that existed before time began. Mwynn was born from this chaos.
 * Final Fantasy XIII-3 explores the battle between light (life, memories) and darkness (time, death, and destruction).
 * When Bhunivelze created Pulse and Lindzei, the amount of Chaos in the world increased. The world remained out-of-balance until Etro placed Chaos inside humanity.
 * Humans are pure Chaos; they are contradictory and ever-changing. Chaos is the embodiment of humanity's complexity.
 * Chaos is closely linked to the powers and branching of l'Cie. The human form suppresses the abilities Chaos grants (magic), but a l'Cie brand serves as a gateway and direct link to the Unseen Realm, the source of all Chaos. Chaos flows from a l'Cie's brand, and when it consumes him or her, he or she becomes a Cie'th. When l'Cie complete their Focus, time and memory are frozen and turn to crystal. A l'Cie's whole body crystallizes because he or she hosts more Chaos within him or her than an average human. Emotion is tied to Chaos; nasty emotional shocks increase the amount of Chaos in a l'Cie, accelerating the progression of his or her brand and leading to premature transformation into a Cie'th.
 * Crystals are made from frozen or compressed Chaos. They are limited, thus fal'Cie are, as well.
 * Despite being the god of light (life, memory) and brightest crystal of all, Bhunivelze is what he despises: darkness (time, death, and destruction).
 * Following her birth, Mwynn created the world out of nothingness.
 * Bhunivelze fears death and thirsts to survive at all costs. He is driven by his desire to live, and he deeply regrets killing his mother. Bhunivelze hates Mwynn and those resembling her; he denies his guilt.
 * Bhunivelze is ignorant in regards to Chaos; he hates people because they remind him of the guilt he feels.
 * In Final Fantasy XIII-3, Bhunivelze seeks his final victory over Mwynn.
