• FFXIV:ARR / LR:FFXIII Cross-Over Bonanza!


    It seems Lightning really loves dressing up! We recently revealed that as part of the Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII pre-order campaign you can receive a DLC code to give her a Cloud Strife outfit. Not only that, but if you purchase the Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster you can also earn a Summoner Yuna outfit too. This is on top of the plethora of other outfits she already has. But as every girl knows, you can never have too many outfits!

    As a special cross-over between Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and the imminent Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn you can net a very adorable Miqo'te outfit for Lightning that resembles the female Miqo'te starting attire. Not only that, it comes complete with kitty ears and a tail!


    Meeeeooooow!


    However, it seems that the developers aren't just happy with giving Lightning Returns all the love. Lightning will actually be appearing in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn! The details on this still aren't confirmed yet as they were revealed during a Final Fantasy conference at the Japan Expo in France today. However, early translations suggest that there will be some special quest lines featuring Lightning in A Realm Reborn - quite how this works into the game itself is unknown at this point.


    Lightning Returns: A Realm Reborn

    But wait... there's more! You'll also be able to get Lightning outfits for your female A Realm Reborn characters and Snow outfits for Male characters. There's even special weapons based off the weapons we've seen so far in Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2 such as Serah's Bow and Mog's clock staff.


    Sexy and they know it...


    Your veritable array of weapons of mass murder


    Yoshi P, the producer of A Realm Reborn, also treated attendes to the unveiling of A Tour of Eorzea: Part 3 and you can expect to hear more from us on that shortly.

    This cross-over seems to have gone down a storm with the Japanese audience but unsurprisingly a lot of fans in the west have taken to the internet to voice disapproval. What do you think? Are you excited? Do you think Square Enix have lost the plot? Let us know in the comments below.

      FFXIII characters in FFXIV seems really lame, but I don't mind armor and weapons taking inspiration from other games in the series.

      The good thing is you could just say it was just a time paradox that transported Lightning to the realm of XIV.

      It's not utterly inconcievable

      Someone really needs to tell SE that not everybody is as insanely in love (read: obsessed) with Lightning as they are...

      Seriously.
