Lightning is the female Cloud, so this makes sense. That's probably why SE loves her so much.

[Depression Moon]

More proof that she's the female cloud. The victory fanfare is a nice touch too.

[Formalhaut]

I never pre-order, mainly because I never normally have money to do so.

Damn it as well, as that actually looks pretty amazing.

[Mirage]

I think I'm going to kill someone if the preorder bonuses are anything more than just time limited exclusives.

[nirojan]

*sigh* Damn...you got me Square :(. I put down a pre-order :cry:

[Shorty]

I'm not so much a fan of the more recent Final Fantasies, but I love this new spin. Well done, SE.

[KH-Cloudy]

Going to pre-order soon! If anything they could also be teasing fans of how Cloud's outfit and fanfare will look with its graphical update. :p

[Venom65437]

Meh

[Mahad]

No. Just, no.

[Flaming Ice]

Next...FF 7 remake ..with lightning costume!

[LunarWeaver]

That single shoulder pad is even more glorious than I remember.

It comes in my head that Lightning could be a Cloud Strife fangirl and wanted to do a cross-dress cosplay of him. Even if that's the case or not, she knows how to rock it! That is awesome! :D

I have to admit, I love the idea of taking it as a cosplay.

Too bad she got it wrong though.

See? Notice anything? Specifically, the belts, and the Buster Sword.

Man, I loved the original Buster Sword. The new one just doesn't compare.

don't they have a yuna outfit as well for lightning? I know why they are doing this. During our PR Q&A with Kitase and Toriyama someone had said to them that "a lot of fans liked the older series over the newer entries like XIII and XIII-2, what would they do to try to bring back the older fans?" And he was a bit offended by it and didn't really answer. Then suddenly now we have yuna and cloud outfits. COINCIDENCE? I think not.

[Mirage]

Meh, Wall Market Cloud is still prettier.
