Its still all about impressions and speculation. And though I have played Duscae, I didn't beat it. The game mechanics didn't translate well to my hands, just like Type-0, and when one battle lasted over 12 in-game hours and only ended when daylight cropped up, I completely lost interest in finishing the damn thing. I'd had a headache from listening to a straight half hour of battle music. And it seems only a small handful of people ever saw it. Only those who bought Type-0, on release, and managed to play through it, as I know I'm not the only person who gave up. It's a very small percentage

Seems like Square could have showed her to everyone better, as my only experience with her, is her sitting awkwardly at a dining table and looking around blankly and meekly. That's the only impression I've experienced with her

And it honestly wouldn't surprise me if she still had a meek personality if she has this untapped power that kept her alive, it has nothing to do with her personality. I've seen it happen in Japanese media before. I'm looking for things that showcase her personality. Not her ability

I mean, Yuna had arguably an awesome amount of power, and look how meek she always acted. So I honestly don't know if that would have convinced me she had a strong survivalist personality. But I'll have to watch it, or struggle through the demo again. Maybe I'll wait for the patch to see if its any more playable for me

Though no offense, but I call BS saying the last 3 Final Fantasy games had strong female leads. For one, I don't count a "saga of" side stories to be mainline games, so it's just Final Fantasy 13 games had female leads. But even outside of that nitpick, I don't think Lightning represents what women want to see in games. She was physically strong, sure. But also deadpan, slightly brain damaged, and way too much of a mary sue half the time. In fact, a lot of characters in that game had things just miraculously work out for them, rather than them actually achieving things through skill and planning. Though admittedly, I've heard the second and third games were treated better, and I have less experience with them. The women (and even men) were far from admirable in XIII from my experience. I would not use them as examples of well crafted characters

So no. I like what I see of the XV cast more already than I ever did the XIII cast, but I don't have any faith that they'll unsexy Cindy, or that they'll make Luna in any regard competent until they actually show it happening. And I do plan on purchasing this game, to find out. Since they've already convinced me it will be a better game than XIII. But that's still not saying much lol
