I give a big fat MEH to this thread. FFXIII will NOT sell more than FFVII or FFX for that matter, Lightning will be the shitiest main character ever in a FF game, even surpassing the god Vaan.

Get the flying fu*k out of here. Lightning is already 10000000000000000000000000000x better then Vaan. I think it will sell more then FFX at least since its multiplatform.

The idea behind Lightning = Cloud as a sex symbol, greatest character ever! While I never base sales around install base, Ps2 had a much, much bigger one than Ps3 and Xbox 360 combined, I don't see your point.

@CGI: Lightning in the top 5? That would mean she'd have to as well known as Cloud, Sephiroth, Kefka, Moogle and Chocobo, among others. Lightning will be very well known, but you really think so?

wow they failed at that

1. Lightning doesn't look like cloud (thank the heavens she doesn;t)

2. Her back story (frm FF13 Prologue novels published by S-E) is nothing like clouds

stop lying

I think we know she won't ever be as popular as Cloud, considering his potency to the PlayStation Brand in general, but she may end up being within the Top 3-5 most known Final Fantasy characters in general. Hardly something to scoff at if it proves to be true.

I don't think so, currently it is pretty much Cloud, Sephiroth, Squall, Kefka and ummm Tidus, I guess maybe it is slight chance she can overtake Tidus.

 

Also NO she will not be more popular than cloud.

One of the main reasons is due to the fact that while you do have boarder audience you no longer have the loud "fanboys" of sony going crazy for this game and/or characters. It is one thing I noticed about diehard Cloud fans, they typically are sony loyal (sorry if anyone out there doesn't fit this discription).

Another reason is some fans have taken a liking to Noctis (this may or may not have to do with the fact of reason one)

(IN THIS CASE IT IS SONY...I bet someone will still pick on me saying that all consoles have fanboys)

Finally certain demographic like characters that are EMO and never smile....that is all.

(BAD SORIKU STOP LIKING EMO CHARACTERS)

It's not like you're not lying. "FFXIII WILL sell 10 MILLION+!!!!"

And LOL at you SPOILING the story FOR yourself.

Also Darth stop being in denial, she does look like AC Cloud. The annoying artist that ruined final fantasy even said that square enix wanted a female cloud and he designed her.

Also remember that the characteristics are not the same as you said.

ROFLMAO

If Square-Enix has PUT the prologue stories up there that means they are NOT spoiling the stories for us

no company who makes RPG's is stupid enough to "spoil" the stories for their userbase

& 2. I have PREDICTED it will sell over 10 million

you are saying outright lies

I don't see a resemblance AT ALL

Please do a side to side image comparison if you will, I have tried & tried to see similarities, but have found none

they have similarities, but thats because they are Nomura creations, beyond that there is no significant similarity, no-one is in denial here but yourself

One artist ruined final fantasy? Thats denial

As for the characteristics, I have read her back story & have seen her in the final trailer.....puh lease, she is nothing like cloud

Once again, if you think she is like cloud, give me proof

I have proof otherwise

I truly believe Nomura has harmed final fantasy after making it so popular, also it isn't him alone, given this is going to be redemption of the franchise that has been lost for sometime. The proof is already shown to you, from him being quoted and from picture that shows it.

And I have already displayed my opinion on them

youc ould do that comparison between 90% of Nomura designed final fantasy characters

big deal

what matters here is lightnings personality & motivations throughout the game

from the material we have so far, they are nowhere near what clouds motivations or initial attitude were in the game

And how has the Franchise been "lost" for sometime, I wouldn't call the franchise being lost considering FF12 sold more than 99% of RPG's & was a critical mega hit.

You're obviosly laughing at him saying it won't sell 10 million, that's not a prediction.

Reading anything about the story/characters before the game is out, no matter how minor, is spoiling.

Final Fantasy has been lost for quite some time? Oh dear...
