Hahaha wow. Square really getting desperate it seems.

strafer · Jul 2, 2013

aaaah, in game, i wanted in real life

Metalmurphy · Jul 2, 2013

They finally see the resemblance?

XANDER CAGE · Jul 2, 2013

It looks strangely practical compared to all the other stupid costumes.

DJwest · Jul 2, 2013

Well done playing on FF7's popularity Square. inb4 FF7 remake.

She was created to look like a female Cloud on purpose.

At least it's appropriate.

Came to post this.

AzureSkies · Jul 2, 2013

Now Lightning being a female Cloud is far more literal than it ever has been.

Roxas · Jul 2, 2013

There's a joke in there somewhere...

Stuart444 · Jul 2, 2013

Cool costume. I like it

edit: Victory theme... now that is awesome

Shaanyboi · Jul 2, 2013

Desperate times.....

incredibly desperate. the sad thing is that it will sell the game to people.

Because it's quite exactly a throwback to the more....restrained era of SE. Before they handed Nomura free reign to (over)design whatever the fuck he wanted.

Jb · Jul 2, 2013

Now they only have 99.7% left of FF7 to remake in HD!

nico1982 · Jul 2, 2013

I don't know why, but for a few instants I thought they were giving away 1:1 replicas of the sword and cheap cotton oversuits...

They're the ones who made the comparison to start.

Like, this borders on self-parody.

kenji_sama · Jul 2, 2013

Cloud's oufit is only available on PS3 version ?

Rootbeer · Jul 2, 2013

Do I like it? Sure... but won't this just be for sale on PSN/XBL as DLC sometime later just like with FFXIII-2's DLC? Probably for like... 2.99? Still very much on the fence about spending $60 on this... these FF games drop in price like lightning.

Yup. Now at least we know she has one decent costume.

Imo it seems everything about Lightning Returns borders on self parody.

Log4Girlz · Jul 2, 2013

I hope she's in all future FF titles like Cid is.

SuicidalSteve · Jul 2, 2013

Before Lightning strikes, a cloud forms

bigbaldwolf86 · Jul 2, 2013

Do you think they have heard of the resemblance? This seems like a good joke on their part. I would probably play the entire game with that costume and just pretend to be cloud.

JDSN · Jul 2, 2013

I understand now why SE will never release FFVII, they wont be able to get away with this shit if they do.

Kule · Jul 2, 2013

Did they get inspiration from deviantart?

Shaanyboi · Jul 2, 2013

The 360 version will force players to wear a Squall costume

FF8>7

GAMERG0D · Jul 2, 2013

Uh wow. I'm preordering anyway... but that's something lol

Stuart444 · Jul 2, 2013

If that happened, I'd be sad

I want a Squall Costume now...

ElectricKaibutsu · Jul 2, 2013

I had no interest in LR but I actually want this now. I had no idea FF7 nostalgia still had this much power over me.

Sandfox · Jul 2, 2013

I would like to have that costume but I don't want to buy this game at launch so that sucks for me lol.

tsumineko · Jul 2, 2013

Hey, we know Lightning is your favourite character! Now you can improve every other FF character we've made, by making them Lightning too!

Hours Left · Jul 2, 2013

Cloud's outfit is terrible.

Papercuts · Jul 2, 2013

That is the best looking costume I have seen from this game so far.

HK-47 · Jul 2, 2013

If we wish hard enough people will like the XIII series as much as VII.

ElectricKaibutsu · Jul 2, 2013

How dare you.

Hidden One · Jul 2, 2013

Still not buying until the price drop which will be like 2 months after release watch. I swear Final Fantasy 13-2 was 59.99 for what seemed a month and then it suddenly went down to 39.99.

No, they finally pulled out their ace at the most dire of times.

How is this desperate? Seriously, tone down the sad butthurt fan hate.

pa22word said:

Nomura designs characters as per the request of the directors of the games he works on. In FFXV he's the director and the character designs are not over the top at all.

Adamm · Jul 2, 2013

Was pre-ordering anyway.
But this is amazing!

Hopefully they release more final fantasy costumes, you can have my money square-enix!

I'm the same. It's not because of lightning but it's the chance to pretty much run around a 3D FF as Cloud. That's pretty much what this boils down to for me. Damn Square and their secret weapon

Labadal · Jul 2, 2013

They didn't change her hair. The final nail in the coffin.

Negator · Jul 2, 2013

lol Fuck off SE

They know what their fans really want. This is some shameless maximum troll level bullshit.

Jockel · Jul 2, 2013

Power of the Cloud. Now on PS3.

IdreamofHIME · Jul 2, 2013

Fucking preordered and I still haven't played XIII-2.

Prime crotch · Jul 2, 2013

I...... I kinda want this

Mengetsu · Jul 2, 2013

Wow...I know a friend who's gonna be upset later or laughing very hard.

It's intentional. They were saying "She's like a female Cloud!" the same year they announced the game.

_woLf · Jul 2, 2013

I think this is a really cool idea and the game looks really fun.

Two very minority opinions on GAF, I know.
