Forums - Gaming Discussion - Can Lightning (FF13) become MORE POPULAR than Cloud (FF7)?!!

I very much doubt it.

FF7 was the defining game of the PS1, and arguably that generation. Final Fantasy XIII is not.

And Lightning's hairstyle is boring.

More popular than Lara Croft? Fuck NO!

Can you elaborate on your controversial points please?

Why isn't this possible?

You call my points controversial? You are suggesting that Lightning will become more popular than the two gaming icons known as Cloud Strife and Lara Croft.

I bet she won't be as popular as Yuna.

Also can you please explain to me how you think FFXIII will sell 10 million? I keep asking you this and you keep mentioning marketing campaigns. It's going to take a hell of a lot more than marketing to sell 10 million.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

she'll beat that spineless woman anyday!

Now on FF13 & 10 million:

this is the first FF of its gen = 7 Million + already

Gamers are STARVED for aJRPG

Story looks iconic

Characters look amazing

PS360 have a HUGE installed base

Most of all.....its a game that can definetely define a genre & change a few things.

Cloud has spawned several other games.

Square-Enix were stupid enough to not include Lightning in the FF13 Spinoffs.

So for this reason, it breaks my heart... To say no.

Although... She will be greater than Tifa!

wel DUHHHHHH

how would they do that when FF13 wasn't even out

they had no guarantee she would be ahut

after FF13 is out, if people love her, they will do that

& you know they will carl

Lightning comes from clouds.



Brawl FC: 4296-2855-3469

Besides, I would say Samus Aran is more popular than Lara Croft, nowadays.

Plus, i have to add.

PS1 spawned an entire new generation of gamers.
Final Fantasy 7 spawned an entire new generation of JRPG fans.
Final Fantasy 7 is arguably the most important game of that generation.

Unfortunately, despite Final Fantasy 13 being vastly superior... It wont have the "game changing" impact FF7 did.

And we wont have people calling for a FF13 remake, 10 years from now.



                            

Its possible. Lightning is going to have to have a rival though.



Plus.

Lightning is based on Cloud.

Basicly a female version.

How do you come up with threads like these... xD

But no... Little whinny Emo boys don't like white clothing... so Lightning will never be as popular...

but lightning has things cloud didn't

a personality is one of them

Do you really want to see millions of guys cosplaying as lightning?? So you better hope the answer is no...

 

Girls will cosplay as lightning

guys will make their girlfirends love FF who will cosplay, while the guys act as hope, sazh or snow!
