SYDNEY (July 19, 2013) – Square Enix Ltd., the publishers of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in Australia, New Zealand, and other PAL territories, today showcased a new trailer and screenshots for  LIGHTNING RETURNS™: FINAL FANTASY® XIII as well as revealing details of the forthcoming in-game cross-over collaboration between LIGHTNING RETURNS™: FINAL FANTASY® XIII and FINAL FANTASY® XIV: A REALM REBORN™

Dress Lightning as a Miqo’te and encounter Lightning in the world of Eorzea – these are some of the surprises players will discover after a unique collaboration between the two development teams responsible for LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII and FINAL FANTASY XIV: A REALM REBORN.

In LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII, players can complete a specific quest to obtain the Miqo’te outfit for Lightning. This outfit is inspired by the Miqo’te race from FINAL FANTASY XIV: A REALM REBORN, complete with the distinctive ears and tail. In addition, you can also acquire customisable weapons and shields with designs influenced by the three main cities located in the world of Eorzea. The Miqo’te outfit not only transforms Lightning’s appearance, but also changes her victory pose and fanfare.

Meanwhile, Lightning will also appear in the world of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A REALM REBORN thanks to the dynamic Full Active Time Event system (F.A.T.E.). A special LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII F.A.T.E. sees Lightning join the Eorzean adventurers as she lends a helping hand in battle. Collect weapons and shields with designs inspired by the FINAL FANTASY XIII universe and cosplay with your character as either Lightning (for female characters) or Snow (for male characters).
