It's called lurking.






TBH her design on paper may look quite different, but when it comes dowm to CG and in-game graphics, she'll still look pretty much the same.

re: re: Lightning's Design Change

I lurk a fair bit, yes. Shows how I don't have a life, really.

I find that the footage we've seen greatly resembles the later design more. I'd be curious to find out just how long ago it was finalised.

(Also, speaking of lurking, how would you all feel if Twintail's actual name - though Sera was never disproved, it was never confirmed either - was Vanilla? Just asking... )

quote Gothic Girl
Am I the only one who prefers Lightning's old appearance? She had the whole tough, muscular army-chick thing going on...which you don't see often enough in JRPG females (or JRPG males for that matter).

... Now she's just "generic JRPG pretty".
Yup, I agree with you. I looked at them and thought, "But the original one was better!"

I think I more tough looking brooding sort of girl character would be great. The new version just looks like she's been put on a diet and plastered with makeup. Yuck.

re: re: Lightning's Design Change

Now that we've got Hi-Res images of both;



There are tons of easy to tell differences now:

  • Her legs and arms are thinner.
  • Her cape is lighter and has less wrinkles.
  • Her weapon holster is longer.
  • She uses make up now.
  • Hair colour change.

    She looks more like a woman now.

    She does look more like a woman now. A stupid woman who can't take good care of her bloody boots.

    Also, Square Enix have updated one of the screenshots. It shows that Lightning has enough money for cosmetic rhinoplasty.



    Well I found it interesting, especially since I prefer the old nose. Also, the shape of her face is softer now, particularly around the chin.

    They'll have to have redone the entire sequence on the train too since she looks incredibly manly and plastic.

    Ah, back when she still had a great resemblance to Cloud... Memories...

    But it's good to see how the game has progressed graphically over the last two and a half years.

    re: Lightning's Design Change

    What looks good on new Lightning:
    • her nose
    • the cape
    • her clothes are a little brighter
    • head size
    • her chin and the rest of the face
    What looks bad on new Lightning:
    • definitely hair color it looks horrible
    • shes less muscular
    • her upper lip looks to curvy
    • the way the eyes look
    Basically she looks like a bitch now.

    re: Lightning's Design Change

    I like her new hair color and her new nose. (I think the old nose looks bigger, tbh). Bu tstill disappointed they turned her into a rake. I miss her muscles and ... well ... military look.


    But with Cloud's new "upgrade" (a.k.a girlification) in ACC, they both still look alike.

    quote Shuyu
    Her head was huge. The proportions were messed up. So I'm actually quite all right with it, to be honest.


    I prefer the first one. No, her head isn't bigger; look at the pictures again and you'll see the second one is zoomed out. Now she looks more like a prissy little bitch with bubble-gum-colored hair. She looks more distant and hostile. The first one looks like more of a hero; the second, America's Next Top Model.

    Ya the first pic is way better. Maybe they will change her design again.

    Yes, her head is bigger. It has nothing to do with either one being zoomed in or out more. If you take the new design out of the equation completely, her head is still huge in the way that where her forehead should end, you see a lot more crown than you probably should. It has been fixed in the second image.

    The zooming is irrelevant. You make it seem as if I was saying that if you took the first head and put it on the second body, it would be out of proportion. That's incredibly true, but it wasn't what I was saying. The head on its own would look wrong.
