Quote:The funny part is that a vocal part of the Final Fantasy XIV community started rioting at the idea, and there are currently two rather massive threads on the official beta forums (already counting 26 and 16 pages despite the fact that people are allowed to post only once every 15 minutes to keep things manageable) with players bickering back and forth on how the announced costumes break their immersion and what not.
Personally, I’m amused. And I’m especially amused considering just how much fanservice from other Final Fantasy games is already in Final Fantasy XIV. If Lightning’s ouftit (or her gunblade, in a world in which gunblades do exist and always did) really breaks your immersion more than the Scholar’s schoolgirl outfit… well, I guess the joke is on you.
This guy clearly has no idea what we are rioting over. It has nothing to do with the outfits. It's just clothes. I don't want Lightning, the character in XIV. If she's just a Hyur girl in a quest line, fine. But straight up dimension-hopping is lame, and much different than giving a nod to a popular character (or summon, or other famous franchise things) by having a look-alike in XIV. I'll cross my fingers that that's all it is.
Fortunately, this seems almost like it's going to be an "event" rather than some legit canon lore-changing deal, so I'll be happy to ignore it.
