She is appearing in the new Louis Vuitton advertisement campaign, titled as “Series 4”. There is also a new video created by Visual Works. More will be available soon.

I feel like Lightning shined in XIII, but missed the mark in the other two games. It was a great way for Square Enix to focus on strong female protagonists.  

Lightning is amazing, but I think fans beg to differ with Cloud being the face of the franchise.

Lightning is easily the best female character in the series.

All the polls in Japan put her in at least the top 2. Lightning was the face for the generation.

Oh really? Wow.

Yep, when they did one in 2013 she came in at #1 and one in 2014 she came in at #2 behind Yuna.

Yuna is beyond amazing.

Of course she is. Toriyama makes the best women.

Lightning in a commercial? That... Is... AWESOME!!!

SPOILER

 

I always hated lightning as a character. She just seemed so ridiculous going from a soldier to a rebel to a l'cie to a warrior of the goddess to the harbinger of death for god to the goddess of death and back to a completely normal human, she was just all over the place and at the same time she pretty much remained the same exact character.

You've just stated what her character represents. Regardless of title, some people never change.

And all of that is explained perfectly fine in the games. Lol. Anyway, this is discussing her as a model in this Louis Vuitton campaign.

That Animation...

 

Gotta love Visual Works.

This might be out of the blue but can you imagine a definitive version of the FFXIII trilogy for PS4 with updated character models that look like this? I'd lose my shit.

With the PC ports done and X/X-2 HD on PS4 done they're likely to do it now, just gotta keep asking them for it.

 

Their face on Social Media!

Lightning will appear on various magazine ads starting from the January 2016 issue and will also star in promotional videos for the campaign.

She's in Malaysia

 

FF characters used in advertising other products? That's new.

So Lightning has gone from saving the world to . . . marketing purses?!

 

It's certainly not a bad thing, but I'll admit it's rather odd and seems a little out of character for her.

XIII-2 cast modelled some Italian brand.

Lightning is in a little magazine called Vogue.

I'm not going to lie, this is pretty awesome. I wonder if other Final Fantasy characters are going to appear in future collections.
