For me, Lightning is THE FFXIII character. She's iconic and purposely designed to be the "main character" as it were. I can completely understand if you dont find her as attractive as Fang or Snow or whoever but I'm pretty sure she has the corner on "totally awesome." There's a very good reason she's the character chosen for the special edition PS3 and the face of FFXIII. As it's been hinted at in some of the trailers it is she who ultimately has the power to save the day this time around.

So yeah, feel free to create your Team Hotness or whatever works for you but for me it's always going to be all about Lightning. I think she's awesome! :D

Well knowing that i will ultimately be disappointed by the lack of depth of all the characters (already prepping my rants), i base it only on the characters designs.

As I happen to really dislike Lightning's...

Also first rant:

"On Shonen Protagonists"

AKA: "Why Snow Needs to be Castrated and Dumped Into a Pit of Live Scorpions"
 
The rings on that summon look terrible in game, literally like hexagons, I wish they removed them or replaced them with something else. All they do at the moment is take away from the character, they add nothing.

Edit:

I like Snow... *runs*

Hope and Alexander are awesome. I really love the way they look; pretty much the polar opposite of Snow/Shiva and Sahz/Burnhildr.

Totally agree

I really like Hope's design, and it matches well with Alexander

I think;
Hope/Alexander
Fang/Bahamut
Lightning/Odin
Snow/Shiva
Sazh/Brunhildr

In order of preference so far

Speaking of which, Lightning is terrible name.

Episode 0 spoilers with parts of the TGS trailer.
As a teen she decided she would have to mature more quickly in order to raise/protect Serah after her mother died. She picked Lightning probably because she thought it sounded cool/strong. But at some point in the game she realizes she hadn't grown up as much as she thought and was hurting Serah more than protecting her. Long story short it ain't her real name and her real name probably shows up during the scene where she's talking to Hope or at the end of the game.

There you go. If you're from Canada, just change the US to CA.

Awesome, the bar is almost full.

Just make one! It takes like a minute to make one and you don't have to use it at all after posting the tweet.

I didn't even post a tweet. :lol

I just signed up.

They're probably trying to guess how many people will buy XIII on 360 with this.

We didn't have to make a twitter account? :lol

Tweeting fills up the meter that will give us the secret(and I'm betting underwhelming) gift.

But to actually get the gift all you need to do is register and let other fans do it for you. :D

Can I delete my twitter account? I just wasted a minute of my life. :lol

Wait until we get the prize, I'm not sure what happens to the meter if your account is deleted. :/

MS probably wants to do an poll for themselves.

Because chances are if you're on the official Xbox website and participate in the contest you're getting the 360 version(though I suppose multi-plat owners could just want the gift and buy it for the PS3 anyway).

Alright, I won't delete it! It would be fucking awesome if the gift was a demo but that will never happen.
 
I'm guessing it's an Avatar item or something. I guess I can make an account, but it goes against my grain, I've held off for so long it seems like a shame to cave in now.

Well, it's not like you'll use it everyday. Also you can delete the account after the item arrives.

Watch the item be Lightning avatar clothes.

Hey, that wouldn't be too bad. :P

^ A theme would be nice too.
 
The rain looks like some jackass spilled dry spaghetti noodles all over his floor and it gave him inspiration for what the rain in FFXIII should look like

The hell are those white things?
the hell?
anyway, don't you guys get spoiled by everything if you follow this game way too much.
one of the things i enjoyed about FF XII was how new everything looked to me since i didn't hangout in the Official thread or didn't watched too much trailers etc.

i was not totally media blackout but i didn't follow it heavily. I think i will enjoy this game more than you guys :lol

We just need to remind ourselves it's actually happening soon. There was a time where we got no new info for like a year and a half. Going blackout is a lot easier for games that don't take 4 years to develop.

Besides, now that we're getting bombarded with info every week, we need to analyze everything so we know what to complain about when the game hits :D

hey, FF XII took longer than this and i was like ''whatever'' whenever a new media or information hits. to be honest when i played FFXII is was WTF i don't know what Gambit or License system is and i have enjoyed it more. Discovering more gambits and experimenting was definitely my highlight of that game.

well you guys, remind yourself that its going to hit, while i busy myself with playing other games and complaining how crap FF CC Crystal Barrier have sold, and then i will buy this game and say WTF at everything :D

Never said everyone was like that. Just the impatient ones AKA us. You'll be enjoying the game a lot more than us.
