wouldn't it be nice to have this shit be unlockable content in the game you already paid for?

I've been saying that since DLC became a thing.

Not DLC apparently, if you have saves from 13 and 13-2 all 100 costumes are unlocked automatically.

Trying to find a source for this.

That would be a shocking suprise if true.

What are they thinking? Wouldn't have thought many people care about a third XIII instalment, much less 100 useless bloody dresses. Have S-E executives recently taken over Microsoft?

S-E has been going on with this for a long time, actually.

Apparantly it's a lot like the dress sphere system, where each outfit corresponds to a play style.

Currently playing: Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, Picross DS
Last played: Time Hollow (good)
Last watched: Agent Carter (very good)

So basically it's FFXIII-Pretty Princess Dressup Edition then.

I don't think anyone would care if they hadn't given XIII-2 such a shitty ending. YOU WIN THIS TIME, SE.

I'm basing that off of this (my guess is that the purple dress is the one mentioned):

Players will be able to change which combat options are available for mapping to the buttons by changing Lightning's "style" �?? or, more specifically, her outfit. The styles have names that are reminiscent of options from the previous Final Fantasy 13 paradigm system �?? equilibrium, sorceress, crescent moon, etc. �?? but they're tied directly to what Lightning is wearing. A melee focused class might include the bulky Valkyrie armor from the game's promos, while one of the magic-centric classes shows off Lightning in a surprisingly tasteful, elegant full-body dress.

Though it may sound something like Final Fantasy 10-2's dress sphere system, the styles in Lightning Returns are actually more customizable than anything from previous Final Fantasy games, both visually and in terms of gameplay. Players will be able to alter the color of each costume, and when you equip one, you can choose from a long list of possible skills to map alongside it. New skills will be purchased from shops, and it looks like there will be tons to choose from.

Basically the whole system is just an excuse for Toriyama to dress up Lightning. I don't really mind costume changes when they are not called custome. I would rather have actual pieces of armor as a way to change the look of your heroes.

Imagine if you played the 16-Bit FF games FFIV, FFV, and FFVI and imagine how cool it would be to see Cecil wear his Crystal/Ragnarock Armor for the first time. I'd really like to see Square use that in a more practical way.

It would be cool to have them make more sense, battle-wise. But it does sound kind of fun if they actually do serve a purpose other than 'Let's dress up Lightning!'.

No answer, must be that deaf bitch.

I love how some people are referring to the game as "Toriyama's Waifu Returns"

:D
