Lara Croft Costume DLC in Lightning Returns: FF XIII? Sure, Why the Hell Not

So Kane and Lynch DLC costumes available soon?

Having never played FFXIII, all I have is the memory of seeing those first pre-PS3 videos of FFXIII, and oh how much I wanted to play that game at that time. If only I knew what they'd do with the game.

I see no problem with this. You can also but her in a black mage moomoo. Would you be happier if she was in a burqa? When you grow up you learn that human sexuality is not something to be ashamed of and when women have it it doesn't make them sluts or bimbos.

Honestly, I think the Tomb Raider costume looks better then what she is supposed to be wearing.

@shevar@zacagawea: Seems that way, only way creepier - the devs did some press event a while back in Japan talking about how they'd give her a well-needed boost to her bra-size, and the customization options are so great because you can equip a smaller shield on her to get a better view. So, yeah...

INTEGRITY

DIGNITY

LIGHTNING RETURNS - now with bigger booobies!

Because THIS is what the game needed for me to buy it. More costumes. I'm three costumes away from buying two copies.

Fucking Square....

dat VO, mein gott.

I wish all video games were this dumb.

Coming soon to FFXIII Nexus.

Vidjagames people, why not.

Clean faces mod in the works?

Where's the Adam Jensen outfit??

That Picaxe XD

Well, considering there was Assassin's Creed costume DLC for XIII-2 this isn't all that surprising. Brand synergy and all that jazz. Still sceptical about the game itself, though.

Square enix just doesn't have a clue.

As someone who has not at all been interested in FF XIII or its sequel, all of the dumb costume stuff in this game actually makes me want to check it out. That's probably a bad thing for people who actually liked FF XIII.

@lackingsaint: Just the way i like it :D

Super excited for the game, and these weird little bonus tie in costumes are pretty neat. Liked having the N7 armor in XIII-2.

Dirt is part of the costume!

Hey guys, it's Lara Croft and Cloud and oh god just buy this game, we'll keep throwing stuff at it, dear god pelase help us

Sure, this is not nearly as weird as strapping a bunch of moggle toys together and calling it a dress.

The Ice Axe is a nice touch but the small Riot Shield is a bit silly.

HOW BOUT WE ADD SOME ADAM JENSEN AND AGENT 47, TOO, HUH SQUEENIX??

EDIT: In hindsight, Lightning sporting the Adam Jensen look does seem pretty bad-ass though, complete with elbow blades if I had it my way.

Honestly? A decent step with costume and weapons. What I would want is abilities tied to the costumes as well, like the Job system. Having Biotic powers if you pull out Mass Effect armor, or Assassin powers if you put on a pointy hoodie.

VIDEO GAMES GUYS.

This is really the English VO they have for Lightning? I haven't played any of the XIII games yet, and this is not exactly what I was expecting.

I kinda like Lightning as Lara Croft more than I like Lara Croft, for some reason.

I like how they do this, shows at least the Final Fantasy guys are aware of the current trends in games with stuff like this and Mass Effect.

@shevar: The outfits are part of the battle system, similar to X-2's from what I understand. I totally agree the Cloud Soldier outfit and junk is definitely banking on nostalgia but I'm not going to throw stones, especially when stuff like the MK9 Classic Ninjas has happened.

It's like somebody dressed up a dirty RealDoll.

What the fresh hell.

Is Lightning turning into Barbie?

So is Lightning Returns like Barbie for FF fans? I mean, every trailer they put up is about"Hey, you can where this uniform or that uniform and we are totally not banking on your nostalgia for FF VII".

Just my shallow impression.

Aw man, was hoping to get more N7 armor like what was in XIII-2. Oh well.

This game looks so fucking bad.

Who's even paying attention at this point?

Please care about our game!

I'd say that Lightning is apparently just a Barbie doll these days, but she's probably more like a Bratz doll, huh?

How much fucking DLC did they make for this game christ. it's not even out yet

Doesn't this just completely devalue the character of Lightning that they keep doing this? I mean, that's assuming anybody takes the story for Final Fantasy XIII seriously at all.

I think Gandolfini said it best,

Where is my Rico Rodriguez and Wei Shen costumes, you sexist motherfuckers?!

I'm down with Lara Croft, but who's the blonde chick?

Synergy. Lightning is pretty much just a dress up doll now, right?
