What in the world?

He's right, though. Her stomach hourglasses more than the real models. It's why a lot of the stuff that's on her and looks decent on her (like the left image with the midriff) looks flat out awful on the real model. Because the proportions are off/not hemmed to "fit."

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

You know all of this fits in perfectly as canon to XIII's plot.

Watch the secret ending.

Lightning ends up in the real world, in a country that very closely resembles France.

Louis Vouitonn is a French company.

So she defeats Bhunivelze, creates a new world and becomes a model.

Oh, I was agreeing with him. When she is placed next to a model, the weirdness of her model comes out more.

That video makes me want a Final Fantasy VIII remake.

 

[Misuta]

Thank you for the thread guys and gals. Now I want to play FFXIII on my PC.

Haha, well FFXV will have trains and train stations galore.

Louis Vuitton have Lightning as their cover photo on their global Twitter and Facebook pages....

See links above.

Are Louis Vuitton their own customers?

Looks way better than stella ever would

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

This is so great. Really hoping for more Lighting Saga games on current gen.

 

[Wagram]

I think it's kinda neat they chose her to do it, but I look at these pictures and see a character that doesn't exist. That's not Lightning at all, but a soulless look alike.

 

[Aurongel]

...but a soulless look alike.

So what you're saying is she's a perfect representation of that character...?

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Spoiler

You think she joins the army or something after the end of Lightning Returns?

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

Wow! Lightning's reign just won't let up.

I have a hard time deciding whether Lightning, Squall or Terra is my favorite FF protagonist.

 

[jiggle]

Hey boyz.

Dat broken neck

"One day, not so far in the future, I will be out there again, in a world of strife. But I won’t be the same person I was before. I will return to my origins, like a Mobius strip, but it’ll be a new me, one who has evolved.

I look forward to the day we meet again."


lightning in ff7r confirmed.

 

[JadedWriter]

Can somebody tell me why it's just Lightning that Square is pimping out like this? I think Fang and Vanille could also look good in Louis Vuitton.

First thing that came to mind after finishing the game this weekend, very cool.

Oh my fucking god this is something else.

I know this is not the first time a fictional character has been "interviewed", but seeing this framed in the context of Toriyama's behavior and statements regarding Lightning, as well as what happens to her throughout her own series and at the end of LR, just makes the whole thing really surreal, lol.

What are your upcoming projects?

I’m currently winding down after a long journey. My days are peaceful; it’s what I’ve always dreamed of. I hope these days last a long time.

But I’m always looking to push myself, to better myself. Sometimes I get the urge to put my life on the line again and test my limits.

One day, not so far in the future, I will be out there again, in a world of strife. But I won’t be the same person I was before. I will return to my origins, like a Mobius strip, but it’ll be a new me, one who has evolved.

I look forward to the day we meet again.

Lighting in Final Fantasy VII Remake Confirmed?

I wish they would rather pimp out the character in your avatar...

I... I think I've moved beyond outrage or amusement and now I'm starting to feel actual concern.

This is starting to turn into outright Pygmalion Syndrome for her creator. There needs to be an intervention.

 

[raven777]

Well she mentions Strife and Mobius. Mobius is obviously the mobile game Mobius Final Fantasy, and that game has bunch of collaborations so she is guaranteed to show up.

Strife... yea FF7 Remake....

please no...

This just keeps getting more ridiculous.

Lightning dressed like Cloud and Cloud dressed like Lightning.

The fantasy will be complete.

 

[darkside31337]

Yep. They already confirmed that scene is happening in the remake - so just put in a pink wig this time around

I like how the highlight is that you get to see her feet.

She has nice feet.

lol, amazing.

Didn't know this troll-ish side of Lightning.

 

[The Last One]

I can see now, guys. The game starts with Genesis saying the Loveless poem:

When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky (Lightning fall of the sky like a furious thunder)
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Lightning and Genesis, the new villains of VII remake.

GOAT

I wouldn't mind seeing Tifa pounding Lightning's face in.

Ghesquière, with his penchant for the futuristic, considers Lightning the “perfect avatar for a global, heroic woman.” As he sees it: “Lightning heralds a new era of expression.”

I can definitely get behind that.

What is there to say except :

[JumpCancel]

You joke now but it won't be so funny when she shows up in the FF VII remake.

What if it's a work and Cloud is replaced by Lighting for the whole game and none of the characters acknowledge it.

The true FF VII remake everybody wanted.

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

In a really strange way, I kinda dig it lol. I wish they'd stop with all the weird action poses and jumping stuff, but this is pretty cool. I wonder how it's perceived by the target audience.
