What are the chances for FF13 being the best Final Fantasy game?

I don't get why people say that Lightning is a Cloud clone. Yes they look really similar in terms of appearance but Lightning seems way more serious and confident. In terms of personality they're way different based on what we know so far (IMO).

Because someone from SE said just that. 

I looked for the quote but it has been repeated on so many forum posts now that it's pointless to look for the original articles (even this thread comes up).

-edit-

Found it!

EGM: What can you tell us about the heroine of FFXIII?
Motomu Toriyama: We can't tell you all the details, unfortunately. Looking at the history of the FF series, there were already female main characters, like in FFVI, FFX, and FFX-2. This time, one of the characteristics of this heroine is that she's not that feminine. I tried to make her someone very strong, independent. When I asked Mr. Nomura to design this character, I requested someone like a female version of Cloud from FFVII.

Yes, but that only tells us that the similarities are in the design, not necessarily in personality.

All we can really take from that quote is: Lightning is a strong, independant female who looks like Cloud.
