Final Fantasy XIII costumes & weapons confirmed.Follow

It would be nice if musketeer class used gunblades instead of actual guns. I know the people that want more ranged physical DPS wouldn't be happy, but it would add an iconic FF weapon in a way consistent with XIV lore.

And I'm all for adding weapon/armor models from other games into the game. Part of the fun in end-game is being a collector, and having a house to show off your stuff would be pretty awesome. For the longest time in WoW, you would always see everyone wearing the same armor sets, and then they introduced transmogrification. It let you equip an appearance without changing the stats of the actual gear you were wearing. It added replayability to old dungeons for collecting, and allowed players the opportunity to be truly unique.

After seeing models from FFXI and FFXII in the game, I was wondering when they would add in FFXIII ones.

Yea, I wouldn't mind it as a seasonal event as well.

Yes. Yes I would. I'll put my endorsement behind that speculation.

Likely NOT her voice actress, however.

Keep in mind, they designed a Mi'qote outfit for her in Lightning Returns.

This could be thought as a kind of a advertisement of Lightning Returns, right?

However I find it kinda cool that there is/will be "cameos" from other FF games aswell in FFXIV, that is as long as they wont be any kind of major story points or anything big like that. For example just some fight against an old boss is cool imo. It doesnt ruin the feeling of FFXIV actually having it's own story not related to other games, but still will be nostalgic to fight something like Cloud of Darkness.

And why they havent implemented something like Sephiroth or Kefka (at least not yet) is I would guess that if that was done wrong it would generate much worse sh*tstorm than for example Cloud of Darkness. Still when it comes to some specific characters of older games, I would probably feel kinda weird fighting Kefka or Sephiroth in an online game.

But anyway this basically confirms that there will be some other FF references in the game in future aswell. Looking forward to see what they'll be like and I'm not really sure if its good or bad thing.

I don't like the idea of Lightning making an appearance. It bugs me that much more that the whole limit break for attackers is a Buster Sword.

I like references, don't get me wrong. But the method they did it in FFIX more appeals to me than the way they're going about it in FFXIV. It's not something I'll quit over, but bah.

If this was Terra, or Celes, nobody would be protesting.

The problem is, FFXIII was a deeply polarizing game and the one most vocally criticized, even though it both sold and reviewed well.

Then you pile on the Sequel Stigma - the ode that everything that comes after an original Final Fantasy Game is crappy by default.

And then realize, hey, they're advertising a third game.

Yeah, it's hated for reasons mostly unrelated to the character.

To be honest, I rather enjoyed XIII-2, more so than the Original. And the Lightning DLC gave a taste of what the gameplay may well be like in the new game. Which, honestly, I found to be pretty darn good as well. So I'll be getting it.

As far as her presence in FFXIV? I don't mind it. It'll be interesting to see what happens for the quest line - and I wouldn't mind playing around with Fang's spear a bit.

*Chuckle*

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who actually follows multiple gaming media sources.

Not really. Plenty of people complained in the same fashion when they saw the Buster Sword, which is from the most beloved Final Fantasy game. What are you even talking about? It doesn't matter that it's Lightning or Sephiroth, it would be stupid regardless.

So this must mean vanity slots aren't THAT far behind. That also must mean there will be armor designed specifically for these slots, so you can technically look the same no matter what class you are.

I wonder if you can dye the starting armor? I would totally do this instead of looking random all the time.

the most beloved FF is 6

agree to disagree then. units sold doesn't matter tho. if you knew how many times someone downloaded a snes emulator just for ff6 you may have a different opinion. but as long as me and you know 6 is best we can be friends =) (tried to name a free company "returners" but was taken already, that is my first goal in ffxiv arr)
