    Agreed. It's a bit disappointing that Squeenix is taking one of its strongest female characters and minimizing her so much into stereotypical overly-sexualized poses and outfits.

    Yeah, the outfit I don't exactly mind (although I think they could have done a little bit better on it), but that pose is way off for the character. Although, if it is the pose from FFXIV and only there as a bonus, I guess I can accept it. I mean, I love her having Cloud's victory pose from VII, and that's the same sort of thing.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    This is not as good as I had hoped.

    It's a promotional outfit. The pose is the same as Miqo'te whom the outfit is taken from. This really isn't any different to the Cloud outfit they're giving for pre-ordering. Heck Yuna isn't really even in line with Lightning's personality but people don't seem to be kicking up as much of a fuss over that promotional outfit.

    I think people are reading way too much into this. It's not like it's being added as a canonical element of lore or a development of Lightning's personality - it's a promotional outfit. Nothing more. Nothing less.

    You could have given her a bikini and made her suck on a phallic ice cream while messing it all over her face and call it promotional too.

    well, the miqote starter gear isn't far removed from a bikini anyway.

    In either case, I'm glad this thread was made. I got a nice picture out of it, after all.
