No, she is actually the best.

No, she was great in the first game as she actually developped.

She was a cool character, in a mediocre game.

Everything but the actual game part of the game was spectacular.

She's cute!

>girl cloud with pink hair
>literally
>the same opening sequence as ff7

She's cool. She's stoic and jaded, but she loves her sister and have a strong sense of duty and responsability.

Also the game is top notch.

As far as Final Fantasy characters go, she was slightly above average. Sure she's no Cecil, but she's no where near as shitty as a lot of other FF characters.

You're introduced to her during possibly the worst time in her life and she doesn't hold back to let people know.

-Sister you helped raise wants to marry the village idiot
-Sacrifice your position in the army to save your sister
-Sister turns to crystal and is practically dead
-Get forced to go on a suicide mission with a bunch of retards
-You're now also the enemy of the state and hated by everyone

I would be a bit grumpy too if I was her.

Nah, just boring. She has a cute face though

Not in LRXIII, when she showed some differing aspects of her actual personality.

Yes in XIII, because her only modes were angry and broody. The scenario was also written in a way that every moment also goaded a response from her that was angry by design.

You could say that a good story has a sequence of events and then an angry character is thrust into it. That person will not react to everything with anger, for some of them are pleasant. In XIII they started with an angry Lightning and then wrote repeated events/characters that would make and keep her angry. (Also secretly caring under all the sociopathic tendencies, such as deciding to attempt to kill the entire Cocoon human race in the span of a few hours.)

Japanese tend to like strongly established character types instead of multifaceted ones with contradicting behavior, so this works well for them, while infuriating me.

There's also the fact that XIII is obsessed with showing her as cool, since she's to be the new Cloud. As such it's filled with over the top action scenes, other characters deferring to her and praising her, most cutscenes ending with a cut to her (because she only crosses her arms and never says anything. She contributes even less in the second half, when she's supposedly become less of a bitch.) and most everyone else written to be annoying, incompetent children and assholes, so that they don't outshine her. Also Vanille was supposed to be the protagonist, so Lightning doesn't come off that natural as a leader either. Seriously the later "We're a team." stuff seems so hollow and bland. Too bad about losing half her personality to Fang during development too.

In a meta sense forcing her down the audience's throat for years was not appropriate. Toriyama's waifufaggotry deserved some credit later on though, when he got serious about it. At least that was fun.

Nevertheless as a protagonist (in XIII-1 only), Zidane, Cecil, Tidus and Vaan are still worse for me.

LITERALLY
PERFECT
GODDESS

She was ok in XIII but then Toriyama entered full waifufaggotry mod

Destiny is destiny.

She's absolutely terrible and so are her games

She had nice armpits id smell

she had some good virtual armpits

No but her fist game really is bad.

My man! U have good taste!

At first she could be a real bitch but she grows on you

>Sure she's no Cecil
Cecil stops being interesting after he becomes a paladin.

>that poor image quality
Step it up OP

>3
P-post more goddess

No, but SE kept forcing her down our throats.

rightuningu is my fav FF protag Tbh

Well.........alright

T-thanks, user-sensei
Does the progression of quality get better? Is 1 the best?

She's quite literally the character designer's waifu.

Yes, and I hope that she never gets another game.

Don't thank me brother
Thank the Goddess

Praise be, user, praise be.

I want to lick her armpits

She had every right to be mad for 80% of the game. The other characters weren't acting appropriately.

But wait!
There's another!
Do you frequent the Temple of the Goddess as well?

I kinda wish the rest of the game was him fighting his inner darkness. His son was pretty cool

What annoyed me the most in this game is how fucking whiny the characters are, moping around throughout the entire fucking game

i loved the parts when she punched that retard Snow in the head and knocked him on his ass, several times. that's when i started to like her

I liked Fang more.

She was pretty alright though.

I want to look EXACTLY like her!

Are you female?
I have never in my entire existence and in all my time here on Sup Forums ever wanted the answer to be yes more than this

>Strayan dyke

ARE YEH LOOKING AT MEYH

T-temple? I-I'm sorry, user, but I have no idea what you mean. I am just a simple neophyte, newly come to worship of the Goddess

I preferred the actual main characters, I would have much preferred to have played as them (snow, fang and vanille) than view their stories from lightning perspective. It's a shame they all lose importance come the sequels

Worry not brother and be at ease in Her arms
Head on over to infinity chan. At the board list, do a ctrl+f search for literally perfect and you shall find the place of worship

>'literally perfect'
It's all meant to be, my brother. Thank you for showing me the path to my salvation, thank the Goddess, and I will join you in worship soon

Holy shit accurate user

She's a bitch but at least she gets shit done.

You're welcome. And remember, fresh content is always appreciated.

Nice try

It always bugged me how they never even tried to work the Blinded by Light or Crimson Blitz refrain into it.
Would have make for a kickass killer blow.

Lightning has been my waifu ever since I played her game.

Excellent choice
