Might as well suck it up and accept she is the new SE mascot. Move along, nothing to see here.

"We know you like kale and plain oatmeal a bunch. It will definitely be showing up in future meals!"
Can't say I agree with anything this guy says. Not a fan of his character or the games. And pretty sure there was plenty of criticism of XIII-3 outside of the time restriction.

Good.
After all, she is the greatest protagonist to ever grace a Final Fantasy game and is singlehandedly raising the franchise out of the JRPG trope doldrums it was languishing in since the very first game with her bold personality and unique style.
Protect her? pfft, I want her to protect ME.

honestly why can't he just let it go, how can he be oblivious to lightning's reception (at least out of japan).

Sigh... she sorta has to be in KH3. I just hope she's relegated to a short cameo, and not a party member.
Unless Watanabe, Toriyama, or even Kitase find a way to be directly involved with FFXV outside of a "quality committee", no, that's pretty impossible.

I'd rather see new characters facing new struggles and to let characters who have already endured their struggles go along with their well-earned rest.

Despite giving up on Final Fantasy, I still find that I am able to give up even more on Final Fantasy.
Me too, brother. Let's dance.
Yeah baby.
Where's Perfo? Perfo get in here, there's too much negativity in this thread.

"Well you didn't like this character? Well that's a shame, let me just put her in EVERY SINGLE FUCKING FF FROM NOW ON".
100% this. I guess I'll just never understand the appeal.
The Theatrythem one I think, Yuna beat her there. There was another one from the JP official FF forum awhile ago where she ended up being top I think.
Despite the GAF/general western hate, she does seem to be somewhat popular in Japan. It'd be interesting to see how she performs in a few years time when the media bombardment surrounding her has died down somewhat.

I don't think Toriyama would be ok with everyone riding his waifu every game.
Lightning is such a scrub tank wearing lvl 13 gear. Doesn't even have a shield!

This is like saying "Cloud was so popular right? Let's put him in FFVIII and IX and X..."
In a poll of Japanese fans held at the end of 2012, Lightning came in first among female characters.
She came in second behind Yuna in 2013.

god damn it
in 2012 she only won by 2 votes because Aerith and Yuna were world warring that poll

Yes.
And I feel like they have no connection to their international fans other than the die hard crazies who are loyal to the SE official site. With that in mind, it becomes sadly obvious how they're able to remain in their stupid bubble.
I never thought I'd say this, but this is one company that desperately needs to force their devs to make twitter accounts.

FFXV to pull a MGS2. First 2 hours with Noctis as main character, followed by Lighting starring for the rest of the game. #TruthFact
