Is Lightning the female version of Cloud? Is there more that meets the eye with the pair of them? Lets ask Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase.

“There might be some very superficial similarities in that Cloud and Lightning are really cool and composed characters, and also they both have a military background. Those are the only two things that are really similar about them.

“Otherwise, if you really get to know Lightning, she has a totally different story. Once you play the game you’ll find out more about her.”

During the same interview at GamesCom, Kitase confirmed to us that they’re aiming to have a minimum of three DVDs for the 360 version of FFXIII, which will sim-ship next spring in the US and Europe on PS3 and 360, according to him as well.

Final Fantasy XIII was dated for Japan tonight for December 17 for the PlayStation 3.

FinalFantasy-XIII.net have up a brand new scan from V-Jump which they have already translated.

It mostly features on the blonde haired girl with glasses from the DKS3137 and E3 trailers, who’s now been named as Jill Nabato.

She is commander of the Holy Army and is one of the major antagonists in the game.

Obviously.

The scan also shows the first screens of Lightning’s summon, Odin, transforming into a horse.

It’s official: Square have gone off their rockers.

Spring 2010 in the West for PS3 and 360, with a Japanese release this winter for PS3.

Kitase and the FFXIII dev team are in town for GC. And so are we.

Do the math.

A brand new scan of Final Fantasy XIII has appeared over the weekend from Japanese gaming magazine, V-Jump.

In it, it shows a character known as Yaag Rosch. You may remember him as the tall figure with silver hair – and sort of similar to Sephiroth in a way – from the E3 trailer. It’s revealed that he is gonna be a protagonist for the game.

Also confirmed is that main character Lightning’s summon for the game, Odin, can transform into a horse. It’s in a similar vain to what Shiva can do for Snow.

We’ve seen it all now.

Out this winter for Playstation 3 in Japan. PS3 and Xbox 360 in the spring for everywhere else.

Thanks, PSLS and nousemark.

In a quick Q&A with Square Enix, IGN has detailed some of the background to the rather fantastic-looking girl in the Final Fantasy XIII trailer.

As previously known, she’s called Lightning: although that isn’t her real name.

“The only one they would go into any detail on is the girl featured prominently in the video. She’s called Lightning, though that isn’t her real name,” says the piece.

“The trailer often shows her alone, which was done to portray one of the major themes in the game. The game doesn’t begin with a large group of people fighting together.

“There’s almost sort of a rejection at the beginning,” said producer Yoshinori Kitase. Lightning refuses to fight alongside others at first and, “then the relationship builds from there. The trailer was crafted to portray that theme and get that message across.”
