kingdomlanelover 494 Posted December 26, 2015 I feel like Lightning shined in XIII, but missed the mark in the other two games. It was a great way for Square Enix to focus on strong female protagonists. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake 1,488 Posted December 26, 2015 Lightning is amazing, but I think fans beg to differ with Cloud being the face of the franchise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soravids 1,056 Posted December 26, 2015 Lightning is easily the best female character in the series. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sora96 17,256 Posted December 26, 2015 Lightning is amazing, but I think fans beg to differ with Cloud being the face of the franchise. All the polls in Japan put her in at least the top 2. Lightning was the face for the generation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sora96 17,256 Posted December 26, 2015 Oh really? Wow. Yep, when they did one in 2013 she came in at #1 and one in 2014 she came in at #2 behind Yuna. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sora96 17,256 Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Yuna is beyond amazing. Of course she is. Toriyama makes the best women. Edited December 26, 2015 by Sora96 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kalebninja 188 Posted December 26, 2015 SPOILER I always hated lightning as a character. She just seemed so ridiculous going from a soldier to a rebel to a l'cie to a warrior of the goddess to the harbinger of death for god to the goddess of death and back to a completely normal human, she was just all over the place and at the same time she pretty much remained the same exact character. 1 Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've just stated what her character represents. Regardless of title, some people never change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And all of that is explained perfectly fine in the games. Lol. Anyway, this is discussing her as a model in this Louis Vuitton campaign. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaxovanHearts 452 Posted December 31, 2015 This might be out of the blue but can you imagine a definitive version of the FFXIII trilogy for PS4 with updated character models that look like this? I'd lose my shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd lose my shit. With the PC ports done and X/X-2 HD on PS4 done they're likely to do it now, just gotta keep asking them for it. 1 DaxovanHearts reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mystics Apprentice 2,397 Posted January 7, 2016 So Lightning has gone from saving the world to . . . marketing purses?! It's certainly not a bad thing, but I'll admit it's rather odd and seems a little out of character for her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
