Lightning Returns: two new costumes revealed
The Vajra Bodhisattva and Fushikaden.
Two new costumes and accompanying equipment Lightning can wear in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII have been revealed.
Vajra Bodhisattva (HMV and Lawson special favor)
Vajra Bodhisattva (Costume) – The armor of a wise ruler who honored the heavens and loved his nation, and stuck to the ways of benevolence in a world of wars.
Treasury Palace (Weapon) – Forged as a prayer to the Gods, it was once the cross-shaped lance of a ferocious monk unparalleled in spearmanship.
Warrior’s Return (Shield) – A robust shield covered with a rivet of steel, it is said that it could deflect even a knight’s assault.
Fushikaden
(Original Soundtrack first-run bonus)
Fushikaden (Costume) – Fighting as though in a graceful dance, the flowers of a turbulent time fly as you battle in a noble woman’s armor.
Direct Heart Shadow (Weapon) - Standing to face the invaders, protect the nation to the end with the sword of a noble woman.
Charming Folding Screen (Shield) - Like an ancient song composed of a dream-like spectacle, this is a brilliant shield.
For fans ordering the Japanese version of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII through retailers HMV / Lawson, they’ll be able to get their hands on a new set of items — the Kongo Bosatsu armor and a spear and shield to accompany it. The Fushikaden outfit can be obtained by pre-ordering the Lightning Returns soundtrack, and several samurai outfits will also accompany a pre-order.
Fushikaden and Kongo Bosatsu come together and with a third samurai costume as a pre-order bonus for Lightning Returns in Europe, but specifics for North America have not yet been revealed. However, by pre-ordering today through participating retailers, you will get a Cloud Strife SOLDIER outfit and Buster Sword.
