Lightning is the protagonist of the game I was most disappointed in in my life. Not Starcraft II, not Diablo III, not any of that. FFXIII. I was so ready to love that game. I was so convinced that I would love it that I got to the second to final boss before realizing that I hated every hour of the thirty-something hours I’d put into the game. Honestly, I could make this write-up be nothing except meme images with Lightning’s creator, a creepy guy who fell in love with his own creation to the point of bringing roses to a professional board room meeting and explaining why Lightning is like the roses.

I’m going to try to do this write-up without letting my hatred for FFXIII get in the way. I’m going to fail, but I’m going to try.

Looks-wise, I will admit that female Cloud does look smoking. I can see why Don Corneo passed up Tifa and Aeris for her. The partly open jacket thing is great even if she has a belt around her abdomen, the hair style is fantastic, and she manages to make work a busy, overcomplicated design in a way that a lot of would-be anime waifus fail to. If there’s a problem here, it’s that Square tried to market Lightning in the real world as a model for stuff.

Now come on. Come on. There is blatantly no overlap between people who play FF games and people who buy Louis Vuitton clothing, which means someone at multiple companies just though Lightning looked hot. She does, but she’s clearly not a real model. It’s just so confusing that this even happened.

Personality-wise, Lightning is a wet sack of nothing. Oh, for sure I can tell that she’s supposed to be determined, independent, and devoted to her friends and sister, but she comes off as a wet sack of nothing to me. It says something that ‘boring-ass’ characters is not even in FFXIII’s three biggest flaws.

PWC-wise, though, she’s like a goddess or something? I never played the sequels. I know for sure that she has zero problem with cosplay or complicated costumes. I know that her only real personality trait is devotion to her sister, and I assume that as a waifu she’d give that to me as well. Lightning actually almost nails this section.

Overall… I feel like Lightning I would have nothing in common, since she’s a Jesus-figure goddess who lives in France as a fashion model and I’m some dude, but if we could get past that then I imagine she’d make an excellent waifu.
