Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Is Getting Cloud Strife Costume DLC

Just give me FFVII HD remake right now! Unngh.

Did that disclaimer at the end really say "while supplies last"?

hahahahaha

square I don't know if you meant this to be hilarious but I love you.

dat fanfare. Nostalgia overload.

Well talk about clutching at straws.

Well, that looks rather odd and out of place. Even if I got that outfit and weapon for it I doubt i'd want to use it.

Who asked for this?

Omg I want it. I want it the most.

Fucking perfect XD

Is this their best effort to get us to buy their next FFXIII game?

Pathetic.

I love how Square pretends to be above a FFVII remake.

Well...it looks better than the default outfit at least.

It is sad that the ps3 has been out for almost a decade and there has been only one core ff game. I am not counting the spin offs because those doesn't count.

Ok I want to see cosplayers dressed like Lightning that is dressed like Cloud, Lightning Cloud haha get it? Lightning and Cloud heh? It's like Square is saying "Look we called her Lightning cause you guys liked Cloud! NOW LIKE THIS CHARACTER GOD DAMN IT!"

If they can make Cloud armor, then they can make a FF7 remake. Not gonna hold my breath on that though.

Hey you got Lightning in my Cloud!

BUTTON NIPPLES

this is dumb, really fucking dumb. who thought this was a good idea?

The sad thing is... it will sell.

well i'd better get it while supplies last.... you know how fast digital goods fly off the shelves

I am angry with myself that I will own and play this game, if only because I really want to experience the ending of this awful trilogy just for closure's sake.

Square has a good understanding of who keeps buying Final Fantasy games.

Amazing DWYK reference Alex, that made me very happy!

I get more procs and buffs than Bruce Willis...?

No?

No, it's just showing off one of the costumes. There are costumes based on other FF characters as well, like Yuna. Fanservice? Yes, but there's nothing wrong with them doing that.

@fargofallout: Bits aren't a renewable resource, man. Were gonna have to start using 2's if we don't tighten our belts on these 0's and 1's.

Just remake the game already and shoutout to Gang Starr.

@mrfusion: You doubt the power of nostalgia, this will sell.

Not gonna lie, that actually got me excited.

To be continued...

When they say "while supplies last," it probably refers to vouchers for a free preorder download. Everyone else will have to pay for it. At least that's how I'm interpreting this.

I dont mind Fanservice but it seems like they are showing of that side of the game more than they are trying to show off the game itself. Maybe in the end its a good game, which I doubt after the initial two, but it feels like they are selling a place to host their DLC rather than a strong game in itself.

@brendan: The dirty secret is: 2s ARE the discarded bits of 0s and 1s.

@brendan: There's no "2" in binary bits. But in a q-bit (quantum bits), there is such a thing as "1 and 0" simultaneously! That's ^2 potential computing power right there!

what does this have to do with Gang Starr?

O...

...kay?

First time I see this game's gameplay, and it's... a FF VII costume... Huh.

At least it plays the good music when she wins. Too bad I don't give a fuck haha

*sigh

*sigh

Cloud could take Lightning any day of the week. She's a poser.

I know Alex is trying to be his snarky self, but FFVII is still a popular game, and I'm fine with this. They could've sexified it since a girl is wearing it, but they didn't, and that's a good move.

@twolines: The site has a couple trailers with some brief gameplay.

I don't think it looks so bad, really. I wouldn't use it, because I'm weird about violating a game's 'integrity' especially on a first playthrough, but they paid attention to detail and everything looked natural there.

"Rap reference I don't get"

i'd really like to play these some day, here's hoping sony's grand plan of cloud based backwards compatibility pans out.

haha cloud based.

Loved XIII and XIII-2 so I am pretty stoked for this, but FF7 was never exactly my favourite. But hey, it's popular enough, and the costume is well done. She actually looks pretty good in a Cloud costume.

So it's confirmed they're the same character then?

They're getting really desperate now...

That is some good old fashioned pandering.

Thanks for that reference. I was listening to that song not too long ago. I think I'll get some lemonade.
