In a quick Q&A with Square Enix, IGN has detailed some of the background to the rather fantastic-looking girl in the Final Fantasy XIII trailer.
As previously known, she’s called Lightning: although that isn’t her real name.
“The only one they would go into any detail on is the girl featured prominently in the video. She’s called Lightning, though that isn’t her real name,” says the piece.
“The trailer often shows her alone, which was done to portray one of the major themes in the game. The game doesn’t begin with a large group of people fighting together.
“There’s almost sort of a rejection at the beginning,” said producer Yoshinori Kitase. Lightning refuses to fight alongside others at first and, “then the relationship builds from there. The trailer was crafted to portray that theme and get that message across.”

wtf? She’s not a ‘new’ character - she was the first one they revealed, way back in the original trailer. Years ago.

Eek. Ta.

Yeah I know. But she’s still new, as in we’ve never seen her in a FF before and we didn’t know who she was or anything about her. Until now.

You’re such an RPG n00b, morriss.

pfft!
I was playing RPGs before you were….oh wait, I probably wasn’t actually.

That’s a man… man.

Squall, Cloud, Lightning..
Hmm.

And here I was hoping that the game wouldn’t be lead by an angst ridden teenager with social interaction issues…
Back to FFXII it is then.

Least the character looks like a girl and is actually a girl.
That makes a change for an FF game.

I’m sure you linking to the 360 webpage wasn’t an accident

Didn’t say much did they. Battle System between X and XII is the only unexpected bit of info and I can’t even imagine how that’s going to work.
