Is Lightning a bit more "girly" than before?

[Mirage]

And some of her outfits are girlier too.

She should have also had a love interest, too.

Why?

[Fynn]

Yah. If she's not single, how can she be an ideal waifu?

Seriously, though, does every female protagonist's worth and motivation needs to center around men and how they perceive her sexually? Lightning's Lightning and that's why her fans like her.

I always figured her the type who would rather not brag about a relationship.

[Mirage]

That's true. She seems pretty reserved in that regard. Super twist: she actually has a crush on hope for the entire game but hasn't told anything about it because it's none of our businesses!

[Fynn]

Also, because it's socially unacceptable and kinda creepy

[Mirage]

she transcends time and could easily be in love with the adult hope

[Fynn]

Idk, still creepy to me

[Eagle299]

I'd say Lightning's love interest should be Fang, but Fang obviously has eyes only for Vanille.

[Mirage]

Yeah, too bad, light.

But maybe if she kills vanille. Hm...

[Noctis Caelum]

Seems like they finally turned her into a sex object, like Rikku. Makes sense. If you're going to have just one main character, she's gotta be seen in underwear and very skimpy outfits, because Japan. She didn't need to be portrayed in such a way because XIII had Vanille. And XIII-2 had Serah (and very little Lightning anyway).

[Fynn]

It's not just because Japan. The West does it a lot as well.

[Ayen]

Also, because it's socially unacceptable and kinda creepy

They wouldn't bat an eyelash at it in Japan.

[SuperMillionaire]

I think Lightning should have a feminine boyfriend, to complement her masculinity.

i'll grow out my hair
