The first one she's just a pissy bully, the second one she's lazy and pissy, the third one she's just awkward and kind of a bully, but develops into a clockpunch hero who bullies people into doing things for her so she can save the world.

Lightning exists to kick other people and moogles around while only ever showing positive emotions towards sweet rear end horsechickens that she can ride.

This makes her sound way cooler than she actually is. She does all of this in a really, really bland way. Like really bland.


At least it shows that if your main character is a bland action person, then it doesn't matter the gender.

She kills God, proclaims herself as the God of Death, resets the universe to be one without magic (GET IT? It's the FINAL fantasy), and ends up on what is basically our Earth with a job as a fashion model. This is just after her younger self, formed from chaos to look like her sister, tells her that she's super insecure and always wanted to wear dresses.


Are you loving kidding me? "You don't really want to do badass things like kill gods and monsters, you just want to wear pretty dresses and be frilly."

gently caress you, SquareEnix. gently caress you hard.



Then again, if you view it as Cloud, that changes a lot about 7.

I haven't played any of them, but I was on the couch for most of my roommate playing XIII. I liked Lightning well enough, partly due to her lacking all the melodramatic bullshit that makes me hate two thirds of FF characters. She's quietly competent and tells people to gently caress off when appropriate.

So of course the culmination of her character development is accepting Japanese gender norms.

Lightning's actually really popular in Japan, especially among women. Probably because she embodies that weird quiet everywoman over there while being able to tell people to gently caress off.

And honestly, the first two games in XIII were trash, the third one only got fun because of how goofy it got with her becoming a born again Christian cosplayer. It even ends on Lightning canonically realizing she hates this heroism stuff and fucks off to become Square's fashion model.

FF XIII 3 is very bad and has some of the worst performance issues adn the worst framerate I've ever seen in a AAA JRPG

She already had that, it was Hope, the whiny teenager. She plays mom/girlfriend thing to him and it's kind of weird.

All my knowledge of FFXIII comes from playing FFRK which reduces every game in the franchise to just the fights while giving a tl;dr version of the story, so I was spared most of the stupidity.

Sadly, the game uses the original music from the games each stage is based on, including the victory music. XIII is the one game that doesn't have the normal opening chord, so :rant:

Undertale celebrates the concept of fandom while also insinuating that getting wrapped up in fandom to the detriment of everything else in your life is really dumb and that eventually, yes, you have to put the toys back in the box and move on with your life. This makes posters like Captain Invictus funny because it means they're tremendous fans of something they haven't fully understood

Who gives a gently caress, its a game where you can date a skeleton.

^^ :nallears:

As much as goons seem to value baiting and trolling and owning, he does a pretty good job of being a gimmick poster and making people real REAL mad. It was a fun game, some things about it are good and bad. I didn't like it enough to play it again for genocide and I probably won't ever come back to it.

I personally find it quite easy to scroll past posts that I don't care for, such as anything FirstAidKite does. I don't dislike them as a person, I just haven't seen jojo yet so it's a blur of meh to me. I have too much fun in this thread to get worked up over it.

They also accidentally put a Devil May Cry track in that game. And a rap song too. It was a very experimental musical entry in the series.
