When you preorder LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII, you will receive the exclusive Cloud Strife SOLDIER 1st Class DLC — straight from Final Fantasy VII — for free! So you’ll get the SOLDIER 1st Class Uniform, Buster Sword, and Soldier Band… but not Cloud’s blocky hands.

Go ahead, we’ll wait.

We’ve made this decision easier than choosing to go on a date with Aeris or Tifa, so what are you waiting for? Get out there and preorder LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII now!

    Can’t wait, already pre ordered!

  • Wow! Can’t wait!

  • LOL. desperate times eh..

  • AHHHH come on quit teasing and give me FF7 HD

  • slikwillythebrk

    Perfect Valentine’s Day gift for my girl. Thanks for getting me laid!

  • LMAO, ok Square i’ll pre-order.
    Will you guys alienate your fanbase and treat this game as a 360 exclusive again? Or did that not work out? :p

  • Is this Amazon exclusive?

  • sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

  • Describing a sword and nondescript armor as “epic” seemed like a good idea to whatever rube flung this at a blog post like a big sticky booger he thought was totally awesome, bro. Of course, stupidity like this isn’t going to stop people from preordering at the lamestops…

  • I hope our EU brother will get this offer also :)

  • Is this going to be made available in the EU guys?

  • Will this game also come out for the PS4?

  • Ohmygod yes.

  • Should it not be among the lines of 599,999,999 Gil? Prices in Final Fantasy are truly inflated. Furthermore, The Manliness of Cloud Strife will never be the same now thanks.

  • WoundedUnderwear

    Any plans for Digital Download on PSN? If so will it comes with the same Pre-Order DLC as the Hard Copies?

  • Sharingan_itachi

    So where is limited edition

  • Is NA also going to get the 3 Samurai costumes and possibly steelcase that EU is also getting with Cloud’s outfit/sword?

  • Nope. I won’t support this manipulative behavior. It’s dirty and low. SE can’t manage to make a good Final Fantasy anymore, so they’re piggybacking on the success of the people who made the games we remember and love–people who no longer work for Square Enix. FFVII was made great by Hironobu Sakaguchi–he’s gone. That fanfare? Nobuo Uematsu–also gone.

    FFXIII was a decent RPG but a poor excuse for a Final Fantasy. The same was true of XIII-2. They know Lightning Returns is a money-grab–this is just another taproot down into your wallet. They’re tricking long loyal customers into thinking this is something it isn’t. They’re making garbage smell like your favourite food.

    Lightning was always supposed to be Cloud 2.0, but now they’ve given up all pretense. I’m surprised they didn’t just insert Cloud in, wrap some half-assed, horribly written story around the whole thing and call it canon.

    It just makes me sad that they respect their own franchise so little, when people around the world respect it so much.

    FF ain’t what it used to be. Which is too bad, because it used to be great.

  • My wallet are dry. :(

  • Another FF:XIII??? Will they make it to FF:XIV??

  • @16

    I’m pretty sure “The Manliness of Cloud Strife” already took a big hit when he put that dress on at the start of FF VII.

  • Any word on a Collector’s Edition, or something like the Ultimate Box that Japan is getting, coming out in the West?

  • Fanfare, really? Seems more like a tease to me. I really don’t understand Square won’t just remake VII. I mean even Konami is considering a remake of MGS.

  • The link forwards to Amazon.com. It may be a stupid question but, will this promo happen only to US? I don’t think Amazon.co.uk is promoting this already.

  • We want Tifa, Aeris, and Yuna outfits, please. :)

  • I was already sold as soon as I heard the game was being made. I love the fact Square still makes RPGS instead of shooters and First person action games pretending to be RPGS.(mass effect is not an RPG). This year and next is gonna be great. Lightning Returns, Kingdom Hearts HD, Final Fantasy 14 and 15, Kingdom Hearts 3. Amazing.

    One last thing. Thankyou for not giving in to these people who want a hd remake of 7. Some greatness should be left just as it is.

  • Oh and her name is Aerith to everyone who posts the incorrect English version.

  • May I ask you something SQEX?

    Please give Lightning Quistis Trepe’s Balamb Garden Instructor Costume.
    I think it’s suits her more.

    I will be really happy and appreciate that, Thank you:)

    oh, and her glasses too.

  • #25 amazon.co.uk don’t have it up yet, but they ain’t as fast as their US conterpart

  • @QuantumMercury

    They’re not. Kojima’s statement was taken out of context. Kojima clarified what he actually meant. He was joking.

  • rafael_martines

    A Slap in the face of FF7 fans… dat Square Enix

  • Can’t wait to play this game <3 :)

  • WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?! This is a sad day.

  • [smiles]

  • Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet.

  • Disgrace

  • Or they could just give us the remake of FFVIi that many have been asking for. Instead of the MANY remakes few were asking for. Stop beating around the bush square and give us what we want.

  • Legitimate question… if I already pre-ordered from Amazon before this announcement, will I still get this bonus DLC? Or do I have to cancel and re-order to get it?

    Comment… considering that Lightning is indeed a girl, I would have thought a complete Tina Bradford outfit, complete with green hair and purple outfit, would have been a better outfit. At least make that another option. Since the game is DLC-capable, Square Enix should be able to implement it in the future, unless it’s all on-disc DLC.

  • This wanna be does not deserve to even come close go anyyhing FF7. Square drop Enix already. You just crapped on what old school fans you had left with this. What a disrespect to Cloud and to me. No SE I will not waste my time or money on this junk of a game.

  • You couldn’t just make the Squall + Gunblade joke/reference, could you Square.

  • That just looks plain wrong…

  • Outfit: Ok.
    Buster Sword: I’m sold. :)

  • One could question whether putting that uniform on Lightning is a good idea… Do we get Tifa “clothes” for FF15? Then by FF56 you will have all the assets of FF7 rendered high-def and we will finally get the remake we all wanted in the first place?

  • Heavenly butthurt in these comments. Pre-ordered already anyways.

  • @28: If they re-release FFVII the first thing I will do is rename Aerith to Aeris. ;)

    Oh, and Square-Enix, while I’ve got you here: Please release the PSP versions of FF1, FF2, and both Star Ocean games on the US PSN Store and make them playable on the Vita. Please! I want to give you my money!

  • It looks cute!

  • Ya’ll better localize Drakengard 3.

  • …….. I really don’t know where to begin. I feel like I’ve been insulted in a few different ways. Look I’d like a strong female character in my games, but I don’t share the same weird fetish for Cloud that some of my fellow FF friends have. This just seems desperate and I think I’m going to stick to my guns on waiting for this to drop in the bargin bin.

    If you want me pre-ordering games Square Enix I suggest you release games that aren’t desperate money grabs with desperate money grab DLC. You burned this license out with this nonsense. We warned you when Yoichi Wada said ages ago that Square was going to leverage the brand to not do it and you did it anyway. Now we’re sick of it and no amount of throwin items and branding is going to make any Final Fantasy fan buy this game without question.

    Where my Money is:
    A Preorder for Final Fantasy 15, it has been for some time.
    A Preorder for Final Fantasy 14: a realm reborn
    Waiting for a Final Fantasy Type-0 Release

  • OMG Square-Enix…Quit off this Final BulL@#% Fantasy. Because I can’t take it anymore.
