Question on Final Fantasy 13’s plot

final-fantasy-13

I am not too far into the game (just started Chapter 6). The thing is I last played the game a while ago and am picking it up again, forgetting some of the story. I read through the data log and am pretty much caught up but had one question.

Spoilers ahead:

As I remember it, the main cast was caught up in the Purge early on in the game and ended up falling down to the frozen lake after dealing with the Pulse fal'cie and getting branded. My question is, does the Sanctum know for sure that they are branded and are actually Pulse l'cie or is the Sanctum chasing them just because they are civilians that escaped the Purge and may be tainted? I can't remember a specific scene where their nature as l'cie was actually revealed to the Sanctum.

If anyone can shed some light on this for me (without spoiling any future developments) that would be great.

Best Answer

It is unclear if the Sactum actually know that they were branded and Pulse L'cie, but according to Purge wiki, PSICOM was sent into to hunt them down regardless and apprehend them

I'm rephrasing the content from the wiki to avoid spoilers

After Lightning, Snow, Sazh, Vanille, and Hope have been turned into Pulse l'Cie, PSICOM is dispatched to hunt down them and the other Purge survivors

Actual content

After Lightning, Snow, Sazh, and Hope have been turned into Pulse l'Cie, PSICOM is dispatched to hunt down them, Vanille, and the other Purge survivors.

In the section when Snow is attack by PSICOM they locate Snow and say

L'cie spotted ..... Pusle L'cie confirmed.

We can see this in this Youtube video

This quote can be understood that they have a general idea they were L'cie, but required confirmation.
