When facing off against the repelling soldiers, he seemed to teleport up to the top of the building, then charge down at the enemy in a scene that resembled something out of Final Fantasy Advent Children.

Does this mean Lightning really isn't the main character?

They're talking about Versus XIII.

ooooh okay :spin:

That's good, I would have been disappointed.

On the name Lightning, I think I like it more than Squall or Cloud, personally, and it is actually rather memorable.

The only thing I want to know is if the people that worked on X are coming back (at least the guy who worked on the story) (I'm sorry I dont pay attention to the names of the people that make them..)

So are the staff of X coming back!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

This is really interesting news....I'm actually glad to hear that he name is Lightning. Even though it's not that original (such as Cloud), at least it's unique, since you don't see a whole lot of people named Lightning running around. Or Cloud. And, at least in my opinion, it seems to match her. Of course, it could just be a nickname that she's called throughout the game that she could've gotten because of her ability to use electricity.
A bit off-topic, but I did NOT like the bit about KHIIFM being a Japan-exclusive. Oh well. At least there's been an update again. And a pretty good one, as far as I'm concerned. Lightning! :p

Just listen to it Lightning, doesn't sound great and powerful? Yipeee!

from a scan translation over at www.final-fantasy-13.com it confirms that lightning is just an ingame code name for her, i wonder what her real name is??

^^Phew i was hoping that she was on a mission and 'Lightning' was just a codename or something along those lines

lightning...interesting...i think it should be raikou..
