They're always doing this with LR, why the surprise?

They're getting smaller. It's astonishing. They'll be thumbnails by the time we reach launch though on my 1080p monitor, they might as well already be. What do they think they're hiding?

I get the feeling it's more like she's trying to manipulate Lightning, using Serah's appearance. Using familiar terms for her like "sis" is just part of her mindgame.
Plus, that's not the way Serah we know would talk about Snow.

They're the same company making screenshots with "STAMP" on their PC for XIII's marketing promotional materials. C'mon. They're not hiding anything, just incompetence and weird decisions. And sincerely, who cares.
Quick and dirty:
Of the ones we can get a good look at, some of them are just palette swaps of previously shown costumes (that still look bad to meh), and the only one I think looks good at all is the blue one on the right. The purple dress looks hideous in the original color, they should have picked a different color scheme.
A commonality I find is that when Lightning is wearing an outfit without a collar or neck covering, she looks weird because her head is too big and her neck is too long. The modelers messed up.
Also, lol at the battle environments:

Secret announcement: Lighting Returns is coming to VITA and the footage and screens that we saw were actually running on VITA hardware hence the frame rate issues and crappy textures/graphics.
I want too. The trailer was nice, and it looked quite good to me. Some of the costume shown too were pretty good.
not exactly far from Drakengard 3 quality.

the art is bad and her costume looks stupid
So for those who have been actually following LR news, is there a growth system in this game ala level up and stuff? Last time I heard they scrap the Crystarium and they only talked about upgrading your equipment as a way to get stronger. I would be disappointed if there isn't any feeling of character progression (stat-wise) in this game.

Not the game we need, but the game we deserve. ;D
You always deliver. Going to download!
Jobs aren't tied to costumes. You have a 'Style'. Under that Style, you pick a shield, a sword, a costume, accessories, abilities, and so on.

So, can I potentially just tie every style to the same costume, and just switch them like Paradigms?
You mean to tell me that Lightning isn't actually Four and is secretly a virgin who is holding back her extreme sexual desires? Well I'll be damned.
I don't know if they restrict you ("You MUST have 3 different costumes!"), but you're welcome to give it a shot. The UI in battle changes color with each Style, so you don't have to worry about being confused about which job you're on.

I agree on the head being too big, I find it especially noticeable with the white dress.
The battle environment looked somewhat nicer in the HQ video from Blimblim's site. I mean, textures were a bit more defined and not a complete blurry mess.
editing a shot in
About dresses, I thought the blue one with the katana, another one with blue and yellow tints, the one with red arms and shield and some other that were shown in the trailer to look cool.
I like this white one, but damn her head looks wrong.
weird posture but I like the dress style
this one looks badass to me
also liked this one

I like this dress. It isn't just cutscene only thing, right? I want to use it on battle.

This game is obviously not made for me, but damn... Everything about this looks super corny and boring. I just don't get it.
It's because the game actually looks quite bad and higher quality images would make it easier to see all the imperfections.

What's up with her arm? It looks like she doesn't have a hand lol
She's holding onto something. Look closely.

I don't really want to watch it but if I don't say something derogatory about it I feel like I'll let some people down.
I am, it just looks like her arm extends and is directly attached to that flowery thing. I'm on my phone so maybe I could see it better on a computer screen.

"The brightest lights...cast the darkest shadows."
No, the objects standing closest to them do.
Baka.
Edit: They tried to put a Kingdom Hearts quote here and ended up fucking it up and making it worse.
How do you mess up KH writing? How do you write worse then KH?

It's only 2 minutes, she must not be forgotten.
The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long. Considering this Light has lasted three times as long, you can tell she isn't very bright.
lol at her face. They are trying make her as ugly as possible.

I hope that they release a demo because I'm" very intrigued by the combat system. I wonder how flexible it will be with regard to strategy and resource management.

And Lightning's hair is still off model, based off those pics.
Well you get 3 classes at once with 4 abilities per, they each have their own ATB, so when one runs out you can switch to another while the remaining ones continue to refill. Not sure if Dodge/Block/Etc are part of those 4 abilities though.

What does this even mean.
Toryiama trying to sound DEEP and MYSTERIOUS.
Edit: I can't believe anyone approved a quote this stupid, like seriously. As Meccanical said, lights don't even CAST SHADOWS. A shadow is a LACK of light. I wish we had a LACK OF LIGHT too.

It's a pretty self-explanatory saying, it's just cliche as all get out, by now.

The brightest lights (Lightning) cast the darkest shadows (Lightning haters)
It's a secret message from Toriyama.

No,its not.
It should be, but they fucked up the syntax and made it a completely idiotic statement.
How hard is it to say "The closer you are to the light...the greater your shadow becomes"
KH managed this much.

Yeah, I liked most of those, of course out of 90 outfits or so I expected no less.

I'm sorry for being so negative guys, but... what the hell is this? The environments are unimpressive to say the least; the battle arenas are utterly laughable; Square Enix doesn't really seem to care about whether or not everything has a shadow (some enemies do, some enemies don't. Some scenes have half and half where half the people in them have a shadow and half don't); the character models make them all look like they are made of plastic (and the secondary characters seem like they were just thrown together last minute); the character models themselves aren't exactly impressive; Lightning's hair is clearly off model; many of the cutscenes seem like they have a filter present that makes them blurry (even when there is nothing to indicate that it should be that way)... Just What In The Hell Is Square Thinking?
