I've been thinking and I mentioned most of this on the Skype chat earlier.Â
Each Generation of Final Fantasy series has had a main "hero" for the first 10 years or so, it was Cecil. Lets be completely honest. it was. Then, there was Cloud. and now, Lightning. so as much as some people might complain or hate, you have to remember that this is the current Generation's main hero and in 5 years or so, we'll have a new main popular hero.
It's a character that defines that generation of FF titles not the story behind them, but the character themselves because many of us will agree, 13's story sucked a lot of ass.
Cloud wasn't the brightest clone in the lot. But he was a fan fave. Lightning is the representative for this gen's FF. Just as Cloud was for FF7~12 and Cecil for 1~6. People don't always like the main character in a game, but more often then not, that character is picked for a reason. It's what many people like in their hero. Not all, but many.Â
I recall, when "The Third Birthday" (I refuse to call it Parasite Eve 3) released. They had cross promotional costumes with Dissidia. Lightning's outfit for Aya, and Aya's outfit for Lightning. It also cross promoted for Birth by Sleep in that you could get Cloud's Kingdom Heart Costume for cloud in Dissidia if you had a cleared save file. With the release of Lightning Returns, they wanted to cross-promote it to XIV just like Sega can cross Promote stuff into PSO2.
This is hardly the first time dimension hoping has occurred in Final Fantasy. Dissidia, Final Fantasy Dimensions, Tactics, Tactics Advance 1 and 2, FFXI, and even going back to FFV! Let's not forget that Gilgamesh from every game except FFXI is the same Gilgamesh dimension hopping.
