Lightning Stars in New Louis Vuitton Fashion Film

press release with comments from the LV's Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquière and Lord Nomura

Nicolas Ghesquière:

"Lightning is the perfect avatar for a global, heroic woman and for a world where social networks and communications are now seamlessly woven into our life. She is also the symbol of new pictorial processes. How can you create an image that goes beyond the classic principles of photography and design? Lightning heralds a new era of expression.”

And a message from Light herself:



It sounds like something she would say in one of her messages after a quest in LR.haha
Here's an example after finishing a food quest:

What the hell is going on.

So this is canon, I mean after what happened in LR's ending (spoiler)
everyone land up on Earth.

Oh my....what a twist!

So the LR ending leads on to this.

She ends up on earth and gives up being a goddess and gets hired by Louis Vuitton as a model.
 
It's interesting how this is basically the reverse of Versus XIII (XV). Instead of putting real fashion in the game they are putting the game character in real fashion.

I honestly wonder how people here would react to the FFIX Coca-Cola commercial if it were released nowadays?

I like final fantasy 13 and lightning and all of that

But how in the hell does Lightning have this much staying power?

She's the female face of the FF brand (at least in Japan). Whilst characters like Yuna and Tifa are popular Lighting trumps them over there.

Wat a fucking queen! I LOVE YOU LIGHT! PLEASE look at me with those beautiful eyes!! OH GOD I AM NOT ASHAMED TO ADMIT I WOULD MARRY YOU MY QUEEN.

SHE IS SO captivating.
This is physically painful to read.

And a message from Light herself:
“My clothes were nothing more than armor to stay alive; ‘dressing up’ was a concept I’ve never had. Perhaps that makes me an unseemly choice as ambassador. But this experience has opened my eyes. Fashion isn’t something you’re taught or given; it comes from your own taste and your own choices. It displays the essence of who you are to those around you. It makes me feel excited, a feeling similar to when I venture to unknown lands.”
That's all pretty rich bullshit considering what players did with Lightning in LR.

Eh, each player's different. I never used the skimpy outfits since I thought they were too ugly (though a lot of the non skimpy ones were too), Innocence and Equilibrium for life... and Cloud's broken schemata.

Only in Japan. Literally.

Can pretty much guarantee there is zero fucking crossover between these two markets in the West.

Well a few months ago I posted this character popularity ranking when Dissidia came out over there:

She is one of the best to play as, but not the strongest. Not sure how it is now.

Lightning confirmed for needing to wear moogles to stay alive.

*goes to Louis Vuitton facebook to check if this is real*

Holy Crap!
You think I'll make shit up when it is about her? hohoho
 
NEVER FORGET.

“Lightning’s long fight will finally be coming to an end, and she’ll be able to get some rest, so it kind of feels like a daughter returning back to her parents’ home. I’d like to thank you all for looking over us up until now. From now on, it would bring me great pleasure if you all remember the protagonist by the name of Lightning.” - Nomura

I guess Nomura got tired of his daughter lazing around the house all day without a job, so now she's back out there! :)

We are all here
,on this planet, thanks to her.
She deserves a long rest.

Still, someone like her would be bored and had to do something. haha

Haha wow, Squall over Cloud. Where was that voted?
I won't deny that Lightning is one of the most popular FF character, especially these days.

Oh, and I love it that Zidane is at #5. So much for 'worst FF protagonist ever'.

This is a Dissidia chart. You have to play the game to understand why some of these votes are skewed the way they are. Cloud is pretty boring to play as.

Just like the first time, that picture gives me the illusion that it's her back there, so the whole posture looks weird as fuck to me.
