Re: Scan of new outfit in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

[savioress]

It's... better than what we were expecting [Maybe; honestly, that fanart based on that description did give them both a small panic attack--though really somehow it does... match the final product.] I look more clothed, at least.

[Except like Serah, she's going to have her sides exposed. And now her entire back, too.]

Look, this is just the first of 20 designs. Might be my default. Might not.

Don't know how I feel about being anything but being a 'Dark Knight' in that armor.


[Heavy sigh and a shake of her head.]

Look, are you done being petty and stupid? Last night you overreacted and you know that. Woman up already and don't drag this out longer than it has to.

You're only making yourself feel worse and that's the last thing you (and I) need.

Woah - Check you out! You can do some serious damage in that thing, huh?

[savioress]

Do damage and maybe take more damage. Depends on how well I can move in that thing.

[rescuer]

[ Don't mind Serah giggling just a bit. ]

I think it suits you.

[savioress]

You think? [Blank stare, Serah. Blank stare.] I look like I just walked off some Science Fiction movie.

[Matrix? Alien vs Predator? The alien army from the Avengers?]

[rescuer]

Black is your color. [ It goes nicely with her hair, at least. And it isn't just metal underwear, that's a plus. ] The skirts are a little much, though. Won't they slow you down?

[savioress]

I look like I'm about to hit some goth club or cyberpunk thing, Serah. [ she never dealt with metal undies, thank you very much. in xiii-2 and now in lr ] Pretty sure the cape things over my legs aren't going to get in my way that much.

According to the new trailer, anyway.

[rescuer]

[ Shhh she's just trying to be polite. GOOD TO KNOW. ]

Regardless, I wish I could be there to help you.

[savioress]

I'm sure you'll make a cameo, Serah.

[ you better or she will definitely have words with Square. she still hasn't forgiven them for killing you. ]

So. [ brief pause ] Mun noticed you did a post here some time ago. Where you going?

[rescuer]

These two places for sure, but she's still looking around at more. Apparently she likes playing me enough to put me in a whole bunch of those game things.

I can't say I mind too much. It's better than just being... well, you know. [ Dead. ]

[savioress]

Looks decent enough. Mun spied them a couple months of ago before she settled at the place where I am.

[ heavy sigh. ] It's something, I'll tell you that. [ but damn if she ever wants to see her sister in Ariel. ]

...Yeah, being in a place or two like those--it's much better alternative. [ her canon point might not be at the end of XIII-2 but she's still holding a grudge over how you... well, you know. ]

[whoooosshh]

... It's.

Novel.

[Come to his awkward embrace Lightning, there is no judgment or hating in the Nomura-fashion crime-victim Anonymous club.]

[savioress]

...It could be worse.

[Stares at his raised arms. So tempted. But she and her mun would be lying if they didn't like it much better than her XIII-2 outfit]

I could literally be wearing nothing but a bikini.

[untactful]

Interesting. Seems like the flaps of fabric might be more of a hindrance than anything else, though.

[ like squall can talk. dissidia gave him butt ferrets. ]

[savioress]

[hai. her mun kind of enjoyed those butt ferrets.]

After dealing with a sash of feathers in battle? Doubt it'll make that much of a difference.

[untactful]

[ so did his, shhh. ]

Might even be preferable. That feather sash looked like it should have thrown off your balance.

[savioress]

[ it does highlight his ass nicely ]

Should have. Didn't.

Just got feathers everywhere.

[untactful]

[ absolutely. feathers... like a bird, huh? or an angel, but let's face it, squall's not that smooth. ]

Messy. But as long as it didn't cause a problem... [ shrug! ]

[savioress]

[ you tempt me into bring out my dissidia!squall out (and i have several au versions of him too) and a dissidia!lightning ]

No, no problems but feathers flying everywhere isn't as good of a distraction as you might think it would be.

[ Then again, she's not even sure why she had them other than it being a motif for Etro ]

[untactful]

[ you are clearly magical and fabulous. ]

Guess it's just an accessory, then. Go figure.

[ accessory or not, he can probably name at least a couple people who would have loved it. ]

You'd think they stop strapping more things to us and start heading in a more functional direction.

[savioress]

[ i've been tempted to at least bring out dissidia!light again. though admittedly one of my au!squalls recently woke up, too. ]

I'm only surprised Normura didn't wrap me in only belts.

[Not that her first outfit wasn't without one too many of them either but still...]

[untactful]

[ you should! i don't have anyone from dissidia, but i don't think i could resist nudging them anyway. ]

Yeah, me too. Belts are kind of his go-to thing. At least he gave you something that resembles armor. Gonna have to watch your sides, though.

[ sigh. style over functionality, right? seems to be the running theme. ]

[savioress]

[ I'm currently putting back-up dissidia!squall icons right now, lol. still i'd love to play dissidia!light somewhere in a game, assuming i can handle a second game anyway. ]

It's better armor than what Toriyama forced me into.

[ What is with those knee and elbow spikes anyway? ]

Apparently, I'm supposed to have different battle styles in the new game besides a new wardrobe. Guess we'll find out how I'm supposed to be moving in that new armor soon enough. [ Just a few more days until trailer release...]

[untactful]

[ yes, good. dissidia!light would be awesome to see in a game, honestly. ]

Point.

[ yeah, from a movement standpoint, he wasn't too impressed with the design. ]

Guess so. And 20 designs, to top it off. [ belts may not be completely out of the picture, unfortunately. 20 designs leaves a lot of room for disaster like that bikini serah got in xiii-2. ]

[savioress]

[ I played her once in Languishment and a short while in Asgard. honestly i don't know if any other games allow dissidia because i'm not sure if they consider it a canon!au like kh or not. hard to define it, imo ]

Yeah, maybe more depending. Mun only saw the number 20 being thrown about on Tumblr when those shots came out. Could be more than that.

[ inwardly winces at the mention of serah's bikini... that is one outfit light adamantly hates of all her sister's clothes in xiii-2, besides her default. ]

...Seems like the trailer is already out. [ and her mun just made another post about it, too ]

[untactful]

[ i think ryan's gulch and exit void do. i'm not sure about the others. i can see how it'd get dicey, though. ]

Probably will be. Wonder if they'll get released in waves, or just all at once.

[ the bikini was sort of horrifying. looked cute, but was just... yeah. ]

And now my mun is excited. [ which he really, really doesn't like dealing with. not that she can watch it right now, but soon. ]

[savioress]

[ i played dissidia!squall at route for a while but i rather not go back there. they have a lightning already. lol ]

Knowing Square? Probably one at a time. [ They're a bunch of teases and not the good kind. ]

My mun says you're welcome. [ her tone's a bit wry but she's really not that sorry at all. this is probably the first time her own mun started smiling freely again. ]

Right now she's got a friend of hers making icons for me from that trailer. [ heavy sigh ] Like I need any when I'm supposed to be early XIII-2.

[untactful]

[ ... i'm just going to take this opportunity to imagine them with pokemon. i sort of love it.

squall just heaves a sigh at the "one at a time" thing. they are teases. ]

Yeah, yeah. [ it's dismissive, but... a happy mun is easily to handle than an unhappy one. bonus points that it helps both of their muns. ]

That was quick. [ he quirks a brow. ] At least she's proactive about it.

[savioress]

She's already taking screenshots.

And right now? She's giggling over my lack of a bra. [ frustrated sigh, followed by a roll of her eyes. ] That and my apparently breast job.

[ they don't look bigger, do they? then again dissidia made hers look smaller... ]

[untactful]

[ wow, where's irvine when you need him? squall hesitates and then sighs. again. ]

Mine is, too. Now. [ blame blame blame. he's just. not going to even comment on lightning's breasts. instead: ] Nice shades.

[savioress]

[ probably off trying to flirt with oblivious selphie again. ]

The more I look at me in this game, the more I wonder if they're trying to sexualize Strife with my hair, eyes and a real female body this time around.

[ Now that her mun saw that comment on youtube, she really can't get it out of her head. ]

[untactful]

[ he'd be so much better with this whole breast job thing. ]

... Looks like it, now that you mention it.

[ which just makes his mun want to tag light's newest post with cloud more. ]

[savioress]

Better that than what my mun's friend is calling my outfit:

"It's like Caius armor and Snow's coat fucked, conceived this outfit, and aborted it."

[ do it ]

[untactful]

That's [ true? awkward? really weird? uh — ] creative.

Your mun's friend has a point.

[savioress]

I'm almost-- [ deliberate pause ] -- scared to find out what Snow's outfit looks like.

He got a redesign, too.

[ maybe he's the one who suffered from nomura's belt obsessions? ]

[untactful]

[ oh, hyne. after the hair... ]

Maybe Nomura will take the brunt of his crazy out on him.

[ maybe, just maybe. ]

[savioress]

Can't be any worse than what Prada did to him.

[ her mind is still scarred from her own outfit in that fashion shoot. ]

[untactful]

I'm not so sure.

[ could have been worse. it could have been a frilly dress. ]

[savioress]

You never know until it happens.

Maybe he'll be in the next trailer so we can find out.

[untactful]

Guess we'll see.

[savioress]

That next trailer can never come soon enough.
