Hey People,
With Final Fantasy XIII being a story orientated game, we thought it necessary to remind you all about the hazzards of posting spoilers and how to protect yourself against unnecessarily revealing the plot to the slower gamer amongst us.
What is a Spoiler?
A spoiler is absolutely anything which reveals a plot twist, suprise or resolution in a game. Think of spoilers as the guy who's seen a film 500 times and never shuts up about what's going to happen next as you're watching it and you're on the right lines.
Why are spoilers bad?
In a story based game, the twists and suprises within the plot line keep the gamer excited and involved. Remember the tooth fairy? That was exciting until your mum ran out of money and told you that a beautiful winged lady was not, in fact, stashing cash under your pillow every time you yanked a tooth from yer gob.
But... but... there's this REALLY hard bit and I want everyone to know how much I SMACKED IT!!
We know you'll want to discuss the plotline/gloat about your epic wins with your community chums, so we don't mind you posting spoilers as long as let everyone else know that your post contains elements of the plot line.
How do I mark a post as containing a spoiler?
There's a few ways:
1. If you're starting a new thread which will contain spoilers, just place the phrase *SPOILERS* at the end of the thread title, like this:
Final Fantasy XIII - The Chocobo Revelation! *SPOILERS*
2. If you're making a post which contains a spoiler, in a thread which has not been marked as containing spoilers, you can conceal the text so that users must highlight it with their mouse in order to read it.
To do this - you need to change the colour of the font to a specific HTML colour. First, highlight the spoiler text and hit the 
The 'colour picker' box will appear. In the text entry field in the bottom right corner of this box, type "#FFFFFF" and click apply, like this:
This will change the colour of the text to match the background colour of the forums. Which results in this:
SPOILER BELOW! Highlight text to read:
Holy Moly! Apparently you'll need to use the X button in God of War III!
Once you've done, be sure to set the font color back to black 
Just remember - hyperlinks will not be concealed in this way.
Please be considerate to the slower gamer amongst us and ensure you mark your plot related posts as spoilers!
Much Love,
MB

Pretty much then he falls in love with Barrett and has mutant offspring.
