Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, The Last 13 Days

[Farron]

The opening for Lightning Returns is up on SE youtube channel and in my opinion, it is awesome!
Sure there's a lot of stuff to make your head dizzy if you're trying to make sense out of it, but regardless, I like it.

I liked it. The only issue I had with it was with those sunglasses. It just looked like they were trying way to hard to give off that cool vibe. Of course, with the flashing lights they make sense but it doesn't stop them looking ridiculous.

Am I the only one happy with Snows new look? I wasn't a fan of his look in XIII-2 at all. He actually looks like how I imagined him without the bandanna in XIII now.

@Dice: If people think I'm part of the 'FFXIII Defense Force' because of my "love" for the games then I would just say that they are wrong. Though I don't blame anyone for thinking that since that's the impression I give online.

Either way is not like it really matters since all it comes down to what SQEX does next with FF more than what the fans want out of it. I really hopes XV cleans much of the mess XIII leave behind, but as always is "wait and see" with them.

As someone who likes the hairstyle of Ashley Riot has in Vagrant Story I never could get why his hair looked like that in XIII-2. Maybe they were trying too hard with a "radical look" for him? Dunno.

I still prefer his FFXIII-2 look the most since he was fucking Sabertooth, which made that ending with him the highlight of the game.

Vanilla gets a headdress and the ability to see Bruce Willis and Lightning's just a cape, a tophat, and a mask away from becoming Tuxedo Mask.

It makes me think about sexuality and character portrayal. Sexuality is a definite part of a character's persona, and I'm not opposed to see characters who aren't afraid to openly express that side of themselves. Obviously it titilates fans, but that's also precisely what the character would be going for... so that in itself isn't negative. Even though Lighning hasn't really flaunted her sexual side thus far, it's not hard to imagine her doing it. She's a powerful woman, and often powerful women (and men) use their sexuality to add to that power. Lightning gets a "okay to flaunt" pass from me. Now what I don't care for is when it totally goes against the rest of the character portrayal. Sarah, for instance, I wouldn't put it past her to be cute, but she's definitely no temptress, and putting her in more mature revealing clothing would make me a little upset.

Kinda cool idea... Kinda sad.  But still kinda cool.

[Prime Mover]

Eh, just tell yourself that monsters don't reproduce sexually and just pop up from the underworld, and you'll be fine.

[bigdeath]

So let me get this straight. A woman nicknamed "the Savior" is going to commite mass genocide against poor helpless monsters. Yeah..........nothing wrong with that. :P

Really this game needs to be renamed to FF13: Cosplayers' ultimate fantasy edition. I'm all for it.

That sounds like a horrible habit to have in real life D:

Joking aside, it sounds like a pretty cool feature. I know a lot of people posted asking for something similar to it in that thread, about what you want in an RPG.

Is it even possible to fight in a dress like that?
