• Lightning to Appear in a FATE in Final Fantasy XIV


    Lightning’s invasion of Eorzea is almost complete. The crossover between Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII has been well-established at this point. It had been previously announced that Lightning would actually be appearing in FFXIV, though the details of that were not confirmed yet.





    Lightning will appear as part of a FATE, or Full Active Time Event. FATEs are randomly- or intentionally-triggered events that involve nearby players who want to participate having to tackle a scenario, which can involve anything from one giant monster to repeated, large-scale invasions. In one such FATE, Lightning will make an appearance, and FFXIV players will have the opportunity to fight alongside her!

    The reward for successfully completing the event is the previously-announced Lighting Returns-styled weapons and gear, which will allow players to outfit their characters like Lightning and Snow.

    What do you think of Lightning in Eorzea? What do you think the FATE will involve? Are there any other Final Fantasy characters you hope to see in future events? Share your thoughts in the comments.

      And forget how space travel works in the process.
      Eh, I think it's kind of dumb too, but it supports my point that for a long time Square has considered the FF games to be different worlds but the same universe, and that these worlds are not utterly isolated from each other.

      Don't give Squenix ideas.

      As for Lightning being in ANOTHER game...well, I think that gives you enough of my opinion right there!

      From what I understand of the plot of Lightning Returns, it's about her shepherding the people to a new world before the old one is completely consumed by chaos and death.

      So, her popping up in a new world inexplicably doesn't actually seem that far off.

      What's next ? Lightning appearing in Kingdom Hearts III kicking Sora, stealing his Keyblade and saying " I'm the main character now bitches " ! Then killing all the heartless and whatever and kicking Donald and Goofy out because it's ALL about Lightning and then killing all the villains and then sitting on a throne and then saying " Make sure to look out for Lightning Returns 2 and 3 guys " !

      Then the KH 3 credits roll

      Again, don't give them ideas. I'm sure there'd be someone in Squenix who would read that and think "GENIUS! ABSOLUTE GENIUS!"

      ...Probably the same guy who put forward the idea of giving Lightning a boobjob and adding jiggle physics. Only a matter of time before they do the same to Kairi...

      Too late. I've already found a leaked image of Kairi and Namine KH 3 online.

      Doesn't take much for certain people, it seems.

      Not my actual reaction. I just thought it would be comical.
