It was already known that Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will have a costume themed on the gear of the Miqo’te race from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and FFXIV Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida promised that he’d think about a way to “return the favor”. Today, during a special stage event at Japan Expo in Paris he did just that, announcing that the upcoming MMORPG will include a special questline that will star Lightning herself.
The funny part is that this caused an half-riot between the fans on the official forums.
Today, during a pane at PAX East, Square Enix announced the release date of the next expansion Dawntrail, on top of the editions and more.
The MMORPG will arrive on Xbox consoles on 21st March following its open beta, with Square Enix releasing further details on the launch in a new Lodestone blog post.
Not only is Game Pass required to play the game in full, but FFXIV Coins will be required to make purchases - a new currency not used on PC or PlayStation.
What's even the point if they're doing everything possible to convince people NOT to play?
Bad idea. Kind of at the point its almost like a repeat of FFXI on the 360 with it requiring Gold to play.
Greed greed nothing but greed. Anyone who willingly plays 14 on Xbox is a bona fide sucker.
Kotaku writes: "That’s thanks to a series of announcements from Square Enix about exclusive features and play requirements, the latest being a new currency called FFXIV Coins."
Urgh...really, they are trying to shoehorn Lightning in ANOTHER GAME. For f*** sake Square Enix, the majority of us don't like Lightning. One of the many reasons most people are buying FF14 is to escape the horrible taste FF13 left in peoples mouths.
They need to scrap this, they shouldn't link the games they should be separate. It's like Square Enix are trying to force us to like her.
Stop with Lighting already!!
Not raging, that's awesome.
Well, they both have poked fun at each other so I say why not. I hope this triggers an influx more costumes but from past Squaresoft games that fits the era like Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Chrono Trigger and such.....
FFXIII was awesome. And Lightning is is the favourite female character in Japan and Europe. In this situation, it's completly logic if she's present in FFXIV.

And don't be surprised if we see her in Kingdom Hearts 3. Now, you have to control your anger despite your bad taste.
