It seems SE wants your opinion, but only your positive opinion.

Since I am the scourge of the earth I shall deign to post what shall not be posted there, and refer it to here, for I am POMPOUS GILGAMESH FAN KING.

"I hate all of Lightning's qualities as her only good quality is her looks which reflects the current titles developed that focus on graphics and amount to looking good while having a overall lackluster feel. She comes off as a sterotypical hardass lamer who does a 180 degree turn in the sequel becoming sad and poetic hence becoming out of character by saying she will serve no higher power but then goes to serve a higher power anyway and the final installment will instate her a demigodlike entity with little or obscure reasons as to how that came to be. Furthermore she is a static, stagnant and overall pathetic character that is so forgettable that she seems to be a mere afterthought in the context of the role she plays in. She makes characters that are meant to be static appear deeper and more thought out then she is." (My thoughts of whatever)

Ahem what are your thoughts on the matter.

Please discuss.

 

[Team Filler]

Gilgamesh is the shit. Square needs to make a game where you play Gilgamesh, fighting against Ultros, searching for awesome swords across the multiverse.

 

[RPGCrazied]

That her story is almost over? Seriously I don't mind lightning, but the milking is getting annoying. I want a new FF hero. How about an older male? Its always young male or female.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

That she is to my knowledge mortal and will at some day in a fictional future die.

 

[PairOfFilthySocks]

Jesus, what the hell is Square's obsession with this character?

 

[Santiako]

Her absence.

 

[King of the Potato People]

I like that she's not in XIII-2 much.

 

[RurouniZel]

What I find adorable about Lightning is how much Square-Enix desperately wants me to give a damn about her. Duh. ;P

 

[Stumpokapow]

she's so tuff

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Really Square-Enix. I survey specifically about a single fictional character.

 

[hao chi]

I love her character design. I haven't played XIII, but I hear the characters are boring, so it seems like a waste.

 

[criesofthepast]

She's purty

 

[LAMBO]

oh god the comments on that page

 

[ElFly]

All the slapping of fools she did.

 

[Pooya]

*looks at the comments* everyone is Perfo

 

[ScreenSplitter]

It's like some 8 year old kid who's invented a really crappy super hero.

"What do ya like about Mr. Power Dude? Do you like his red cape? Do you?"

 

[TheOGB]

I haven't even played through any of the XIII games and I find this ridiculous.

Middle-aged transvestite

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Pretty much fucking nothing, thank you for trying to exposition a character with as much 3D dimension as a kidergarden crayon drawing. Great fucking job Toriyama you lonely bastard.

 

[King of the Potato People]

Serah is better than Lightning, at least Serah isn't so miserable.

 

[Blablurn]

well, thats easy

 

[slaughterking]

She knows the difference between a good birthday and a bad one.

 

[Spirit Icana]

Her hair.

 

[cjkeats]

She's fine to look at? However, Serah trumps her in that categorie.

I guess that sword-gun thing in XIII is pretty cool.

 

[Mikeside]

I want to protect her?

 

[GCX]

I think this thread and the comments section on that site exist in different dimensions.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Jesus, what the hell is Square's obsession with this character?

I wish their obsession was replaced with GILGAMESH.

And as far as I can tell, this "survey" if you will is obviously rigged.

 

[Warren Ellis]

uhm.. nothing ? she not even that hot

 

[Trojita]

She's as vapid as the current talent at Square-Enix.

 

[slaughterking]

I think this thread and the comments section on that site exist in different dimensions.

You're not joking:

She's brave and strong when she is confronted with a difficult task. Her will to push forward and protect her friends.

Doesn't get any more lame than that. Could be a parody, tho.

 

[SovanJedi]

Her cheese sword is pretty cool.

 

[Macstorm]

I liked her in the "worst birthday ever" flashback where she had anger issues and hated Snow. "Goddess" Lightning is just wrong. Everything that's wrong.

 

[GCX]

You're not joking:

Doesn't get any more lame than that. Could be a parody, tho.

"Her manliness" is my favorite comment though lol.

 

[King of the Potato People]

Who is worst, Squall or Lightning?

 

[Curufinwe]

Serah is better than Lightning, at least Serah isn't so miserable.

Noel seems pretty likable.

 

[red731]

The comments, man. This one, albeit unintenional, made me audibly laugh.

Lightning is just a straight up badass. Period.

 

[Tenki]

Her absence.

Thanks.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Who is worst, Squall or Lightning?

Lightning.

 

[BadWolf]

Really liked her in XIII, great design too.

 

[AOC83]

I hate Lightning.

 

[Styles]

At least now I know there is a lot more optimistic people outside of gaf.

 

[MagiusNecros]

At least now I know there is a lot more optimistic people outside of gaf.

I prefer the term SE Drone Locust Hive

 

[King of the Potato People]

Noel seems pretty likable.

Noel is a decent character, people only really criticise his pants.

 

[Electivirus]

This thread almost makes me feel bad for liking her. ...Almost.

 

[Canis lupus]

They're taking their Lightning love too far.

 

[BadWolf]

Noel is a decent character, people only really criticise his pants.

Really? That's my fave part of his design.

Just started XIII-2 yesterday and so far he seems like an all around solid character.

Bravo OP

pic thx to our fellow GAFers

I will never understand SE's obsession with Lightning. Her design is above average but just uninteresting at all. SE you can thank FF13 for that.

 

[LiK]

*copy/paste OP answer*

 

[RuinerPrime]

She has my favorite qualitys I look for in a woman, such as:

She has pink hair
She has a big sword
She acts really mean 90% of the time

 

[Pyrrhus]

It's gotta be her disgusting bird legs and complete lack of an ass.

 

[Kagari]

LOL christ... really Square?

Talk about trying too hard.
