Square Enix have just revealed details of pre-order bonuses for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. You may remember our coverage from E3 that showed off the various outfits Lightning could wear - one of them paying homage to Summoner Yuna. Well, the homages don't end there. The pre-order bonus for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is none other than Cloud Strife's SOLDIER outfit!
Complete with a Buster Sword,Soldier Band and victory pose and fanfare - you can effortlessly pull off the full Cloud look as you try to save the world! Perhaps emotional frailty will come included as standard too...
Check out the reveal video below:
As always this is a limited duration offer so if you want to see Light rocking this outfit be sure to get your pre-orders in soon! For more images and details of the offer head on over to the PlayStation Blog.
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII releases on 11th February 2014 in the US. Is this pre-order DLC enough to convince you to part ways with your hard earned dough or will you be waiting until after release to pick up this game? Let us know in the comments below!
Lightning is the female Cloud, so this makes sense. That's probably why SE loves her so much.

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

I never pre-order, mainly because I never normally have money to do so.
Damn it as well, as that actually looks pretty amazing.

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

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

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

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.
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.
