God, Parasite Eve 1 was so good. Aya was fantastic.
So if FF13 is Sonic Adventure 2, 13-2 is Sonic Heroes, and Lightning Returns is Shadow the Hedgehog then things do not bode well for Final Fantasy XV.Shadow. They brought him back from the dead in Sonic Heroes because people resonated with the character so much, and then gave him his own game called "Shadow the Hedgehog" which played differently from some other Sonic games because you now had access to guns and crap... and you had different ending to pursue, etc.
I was reading somewhere that the English translation is partly to blame for that, mainly for translating a lot of his sarcastic remarks as "Whatever." I have a feeling Neku from The World Ends With You is probably closer to how he was supposed to come off.
I think it's pretty telling that the other characters have their personality traits exaggerated when they make crossover appearances, but Squall is actually toned down.
I like that she's rendered attractively.
Aya Brea is 10x the video game woman that Lightning is.
![]()
Some say Aya was demolished to make Lightning look better in comparison.
Well, if we are comparing females from other games...
Sophie is 10x the video game woman than any female character Square has ever made. Real talk and no sarcasm.
Well, the 3rh birthday was written by Toriyama...
Holy shit, you may be on something.
Let's get some royal crablets.
I also don't get the franchising of FFXIII. I suppose it was successful, but did it reach the monumental success and acclaim of the previous titles? Are they trying to force another FFVII by ramming it down our throats? Why Square? WHY

They were hoping that lightning would strike twice.

How long now have you been waiting to use this pun?

Don't worry, you didn't anything.What he said. But I don't know how bad she is, didn't any of the FF13 games.
In all seriousness:
Lightning's best quality is probably her appearance.
Her outfit provides a lot of dark/light scale value and has just enough conflicting color tones to make her appear to be strong. The creases and folds of the outfit are hard and the textures also match this. Her haircut is feminine in design and she has a pinkish tone to the hair that contrasts very well with her tan jacket.
Of course, she has a typically ideal build. No oversized breasts, cleavage, or excessive make-up. She has slender legs and some sort of miniskirt to make them appear longer. Although slender, she wears an arm-band and a sports-sleeve to make her biceps look strong. Her eye shape and color along with her brow make her look assertive.
Her over-all design is good; it has hit a some sort of objective checklist for a "beautiful, young lady".
But like the game, she's mostly all style and no substance.
ArtGAF, did I hit the mark?
But alas fans could not see the thunder. Thus sending SE into a jolt. Shocking I know?
I better stop bolting out all these puns.
Haha, the chances of being struck by lightning in the USA is like 1/700,000. So if the game sold, I dunno, a couple million... then uh... a couple of people really like Lightning. Fuck it, I dunno I'm saying.
I think it's more XIII basically sold on name recognition.
Fran, Ashe, Agrias, Lucca, Schala, Faris. I could go on, but these characters actually show emotion, are cool, are useful to the plot beyond being a Mary Sue or a main romantic interest, and exhibit development that actually engages the player. I wish I could say the same for Lightning, but maybe I'm missing something, or maybe it's just different strokes.

It could be argued that every FF post VII sold on name recognition.
I'm sick of hearing about/seeing Lightning. FFXV can't come fast enough.
And Yuna >>>>>>> all
Nice one.Just like Final Fantasy fans have been sacrificing their happiness for the sake of Square Enix's bottom line.
Celes = Aerith >>> Yuna >>> All
She is perfect in every way. No wonder they gave her three games. Your favorite characters wish they had many good games and as much charisma as her.
The writers' obsession with a Mary Sue type of character. Liking Lightning requires a fine taste on fanfiction writing, which is fitting for a product marketed to those who are yet too young to have developed their taste.
Seems like my positive comment was approved.
