This is interesting, I wonder if they will use noctice and CO in future. I like the whole video game folks modeling actual clothing lines thing to be honest, I have always found it cute.

Don't think so. LV's strong suit (ha) isn't men's clothing, and even if it were, I really doubt they'd use them. In fact I only think they're using Lightning because of the line's concept for one and also seeing how LV usually collaborates with people and Ghesquiere being really interested in how 'the digital', specially digital images, affect the current generations (and those to come), is now collaborating with SE, which is a big trendsetter in gaming and Visual Works who do state-of-the-art CG images is thus able to join two previously distant areas, being fashion and gaming in a mostly unseen way, so far. This is innovation, in both fields, and it's also, at the very least, contrived to call for attention, which in the end is what ad campaigns want.

There are other clothing companies that exist and they could infact model for them. Like the one that made all their clothing in game. Roen

Thought you were referring only to LV. I guess it could happen with other companies, even Roen, which yes, they are still collaborating with but... Roen is so small.

My god, she looks so......lifeless with those eyes :(.

Good to see Square using the FFXIII brand in some way though.

I can honestly no longer tell if posts like these are joking. This is such a weird emergence in the FF fandom unlike anything I've seen before
 
FYI people, this is for LV's spring 2016 ready-to-wear show, which is itself based from anime.
And that's why the collection look worse than other luxury brands, and why game fashion should not be in any other place except for game... IMO anyway.

I like Lightning, but this...

You LIKE LIGHTY but you do not LOVE LIGHTY like I do. Big difference.

Just look at this gif:


I mean... When I see her slight facial expression there I feel like I am going to break down and cry how bad I want her to be mine.



So cute. So confident. I can't contain my love


Makes sense?
 
I admit, I actually really like Lightning's base design. If only she was a better fleshed out character, actually had some emotions, her hair was a better color and her outfit didn't have freaking shorts... and if her name wasn't Lightning and if she was in a better game and if...

ok never mind :(

Hope pls
 
Maybe I will lighten up when FFXVI is revealed as a spiritual successor of FFIX with classic medieval/high fantasy setting and turn-based combat, with art direction/character design by Akihiko Yoshida and Hideo Minaba, game director by Hiroyuki Ito.

lol, keep waiting.

And medieval setting has been done to death.

Yeah lightning and light are pretty corny names. they should have just called her Claire for the rest of the game once it was revealed. Her lack of emotion was a plot point and explained in lightning returns...sort of lol

Except that her dealings with Snow and Hope in FFXIII probably display a greater range of emotions than the majority of FF protagonists.

People will constantly deny this despite being readily apparent in the game.
 
How is FFXIII and FFXIII-2 performance-wise? Very demanding? Optimized relatively well?

Could I play FFXIII-2 without playing FFXIII first?

Edit: Wrong thread, thought this was the Steam thread. Oops!

Both games have performance problems and framepacing issues, XIII in particular has low bitrate pre-rendered videos that looks quite awful, unlike the high quality videos of the PS3 version, but still are probably the way to go if you have a decent PC. Avoid XIII 360 version at all costs.PS3 is fine but still 720p.

You could pay XIII-2 without playing XIII, but you'll miss a good part of the plot and will be a bit lost, but...that might not be a bad thing! Your call, XIII is not that longer if you go directly to finish it.

I really, REALLY want Lightning to appear on FFVII Remake. At least make the Don Corneo mansion clothes to be a Lightning cosplay for Cloud, please. Pink wig and everything.

Can you imagine it? Don Corneo chooses Cloud and says "You look like a real goddess!".

Pop-GAF is leaking again.
Literally had the same exact thought when I saw this post.

It's so over the top. Only Popgaf is capable of creating such a thing in earnest.

This is the most heinous thing they could do

Is Lightning interested in fashion? Does she ever express an interest in it in any of the games? This is silly. I never thought Lightning was a particularly interesting or likable character, but she at least had the cool, detached stoicism thing going on. This is the saddest kind of undermining of a character.

Like, let's have DmC Dante sell Hot Topic clothes or something.

Since this will make viable Lightning in to 2016 it means that Lightning will be a thing for a decade now.

2006-2016.

Simple sensational.

What a time to be alive.

We're simply not worthy and yet she still graces us with her presence. We couldn't be more lucky to have such a magnanimous Goddess watch over us.
