I already posted my sentiments towards people who get pissed off about a simple costume being included in a game the character is not from, and in short, I think its just a stupid excuse just to show you hate a character. Would it honestly make you not preorder/buy a game? Makes me question your real intentions of buying the game...
Anyway, this is awesome, if only for the reactions.
It's not just like, "I'm mad because I don't like Lightning!"

First of all, it's hard for me to justify paying a subscription while they're advertising Lightning Returns in the game.
Even more importantly, the idea of this type of thing is really tacky and clashes strongly with the game and its own lore. I was already worried about the longevity of this game because it feels pretty shallow and automatic. Having Lightning in the game with her own series of quests and an outfit that makes characters look exactly like her tells me that they don't take the game very seriously. I can no longer hold out hope that they have some greater plan that will make the game last. It seems obvious that this is going to be a theme ass theme park where the only reason to stay is to wait for the new FFXIII Hope series of quests being added in a few months.
Since two people implied otherwise:
It's even more amusing to see the defenders of this not acknowledging the real complaint here, and chooses to focus on the costume. So sweet indeed.
It's just the silly Backstreet Boy-ish CGI art's *POSE* that looks silly. In in-game situations the characters fit really well and look perfectly fine.
How does the fact that it's optional have anything to do with...anything?

That gets on my nerves too, but it's forgivable because I don't expect them to not let people choose their own names.
I'm not going to keep repeating myself to respond to quips and people who aren't bothered by it. That's fine if you aren't, but there are legitimate reasons not to like this. Just reread your post that I was responding to. It cheapens the game and its lore, it's not about not liking her specifically.
Is it really that different from other fanservice stuff in the game, like the Crystal Tower or Magitek armor or any of the other stuff that clearly doesn't fit but is being included for the sake of fans?
