Support NeoGAF

[cameltoad]

I don't understand.

 

[Ganon Dragmire]

Hey, man. You've been on GAF long enough to know that FF13 threads need to attract the most amount of attention.

I look away for a couple of minutes and I get two pages of glorious reactions.haha

 

[Kokonoe]

Is this a gender swap? Looks male.

 

[Tucah]

they should remake ffvii but with lightning instead of cloud

 

[Holykael1]

HELL YEAHHHHHHHHHH!

 

[Twin Tails]

❤ LIGHTNING

 

[Poyunch]

That gif could be considered spoilerish to people who haven't gotten that far in Chuunii

Then let the gods come after me.

 

[Ashes]

You have 10 seconds to describe Lightning's personality or discernible chatacter traits beyond scowling at serious things sometimes.

Go

She's kinda er. Well. I mean. Oh I know! How about..

Wait a second! How many Japanese anime characters from 2013 do have depth?

 

[Green Card]

How much did this cost him?

 

[evanmisha]

As voted by 2chan. Second place goes to the jumbo jet from Aeroporter

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Something has gone terribly wrong.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Good.

GET FUCKING UPSET

Why? Is not like the America is going to suddenly sell gangbusters.

 

[Donthizz#]

I like her too.

 

[chrono01]

they should remake ffvii but with lightning instead of cloud

The biggest troll move Square-Enix could do is to announce a Final Fantasy VII remake and show the opening scene. When "Cloud" departs the train, and the camera pans up, only to discover that it's Lightning instead.

Think of the rage.

 

[jiggle]

Not enough to buy her games it seems

 

[Jeels]

Then why did her game bomb?

Because it sucked?

And we're done.

No but seriously, there are no other major "mascot" characters coming out of Japan right now. This means nothing. Especially coming out of Dengeki which gave Final Fantasy XIII a 12/10 or whatever ridiculous bullshit.

 

[AnkiRendan]

 

[Whompa]

what the hell was her competition?

 

[Shaanyboi]

Excuse me, I'm going to go vomit.

Lightning isn't the best anything other than the best example of how much a shell Final Fantasy is of its former self, desperately wishing it were as beloved as FFVII again.

 

[Zomba13]

Were the other voting options a rock and a used condom or something?

 

[Tevos]

this is the best thread

 

[Mr-Joker]

Hahahahaaa I am laughing so hard at this news and over people reaction. I guess we are seeing miss bland in every Final Fantasy game now.

Also does she ever smile in any of the three games as in every screenshot of her she seem to be stuck with the same face.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Spoiler

And here I thought I would never hear of Lightning again, guess this will haunt us for quite some time

 

[RomanticHeroX]

You have 10 seconds to describe Lightning's personality or discernible chatacter traits beyond scowling at serious things sometimes.

Go

But no she lost her emotions so she could save the world or something, that makes her a totally tragic and deep character.

 

[Tripon]

Full option list:
*Lightning
*I don't work for Square Enix
*not sure

I see Square-Enix and Dengenki are taking their cues from Crimea's referendum on joining Russia.

 

[demosthenes]

Ah, there we go.

This is appropriate too:

 

[Storm Chamber]

LMAO

Intentional or not, this is great

 

[Haunted]

Square-Enix' Japanese branch getting awarded into further global irrelevance.

 

[Kokonoe]

Games can't bomb because they "suck". How would people know if it sucked if they haven't played it? Also, Sonic 2006 sold a lot so...yeah. Doesn't work.

 

[Ezi0]

Great time to use that Lightning dealwithit.gif lol. I don't have it to hand .

Edit: I see it was already posted .

 

[Jinfash]

I'm legitimately angry.

 

[Chariot]

God is dead.

 

[Toth]

Not enough to buy her games it seems

At least 400k did in Japan. That's still quite a lot of people for a game that is essentially about her.

 

[Santiako]

The biggest troll move Square-Enix could do is to announce a Final Fantasy VII remake and show the opening scene. When "Cloud" departs the train, and the camera pans up, only to discover that it's Lightning instead.

Think of the rage.

Have her do all the characters, herself as Cloud, herself in blackface as Barret, herself with bigger boobs as Tifa, herself in a fursuit as Red, herself with stubble as Cid, etcetera and call it FFVII: Toriyama's Revenge

 

[Broritos]

I'd stick my peepee in her.

 

[Sorian]

Then why did her game bomb?

Your tag says it all.

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

 

[Holykael1]

this is the best thread

. DEAD

 

[Rafterman]

But no she lost her emotions so she could save the world or something, that makes her a totally tragic and deep character.

If she were a man no one would say a word about how she acts. For some reason if women in JPRGs aren't bubbly, annoying, high pitched fap machines people have a problem with them.

 

[Chamber]

❤ LIGHTNING

She's so KAWAII DESU!!!!

 

[Toxi]

 

[-Horizon-]

All these gifs, amazing.

 

[boredandlazy]

That gif could be considered spoilerish to people who haven't gotten that far in Chuunii

If it saves people from watching the (thus far) terrible second season, then all the better.

 

[kurbaan]

Except it doesn't.

Except it does. A LOT

 

[Zomba13]

Have her do all the characters, herself as Cloud, herself in blackface as Barret, herself with bigger boobs as Tifa, herself in a fursuit as Red, herself with stubble as Cid, etcetera and call it FFVII: Toriyama's Revenge

It'll be the only way we get a FFVII remake.

 

[Potionsmaster]

I approve.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Oh come on

 

[brandonh83]

Still not sure what's wrong with Lightning. She isn't some amazing protagonist but I don't get what's so bad about her. In terms of videogame characters, especially.

[Kuja9001]

Can't wait for the "Noctis crying"
