Final Fantasy XIII-2: Lightning 03

In Final Fantasy XIII-2, it is revealed through the Arbiter of Time that this Lightning is only an exact copy of the actual Lightning that lacks a soul. She can learn all of the elemental spells just like her original counterpart, and has improved tiers in Thunder spells. One other significant difference is that this Lightning can cast Curasa and Curaja as a Medic, while the original Lightning could not.

Doesn’t she look beautiful? Just like the character herself! If anyone happens to know who the cosplayer is, please do let me know so that I can credit her! Thanks to Tricia for sending this in!

Final Fantasy XIII-2: Noel Kreiss

A cocky yet soft-spoken individual, Noel Kreiss is a self-sufficient hunter  who suffers from amnesia due to the effects of a time paradox. As he is from a future where humans are almost extinct, Noel has trouble with his speech and can be very straight-forward. He loves to explore new places and meet new people, but he tends to be overprotective, evident with his first meeting with Serah despite hardly knowing her.

Just look at that amazing weapon! The details for this cosplay are absolutely stunning!

Final Fantasy XIII-2: Lightning 02

In Final Fantasy XIII-2, Lightning has learned to trust others and ask them for help. She has also become more open in expressing her emotions rather than keeping them bottled up inside her. However, her time in Valhalla and the recognition of her past “sins” have also made her more somber than before.

Doesn’t Rainer Tachibana look amazing as Lightning? I love how she used real feathers for Lightning’s side skirt, and the details on her sword and armor look amazing as well! It must have taken a lot of time and effort to make them. Thanks to Seth for sending this in! And please visit Rainer Tachibana in her World Cosplay account!

Final Fantasy XIII-2: Lightning

Lightning currently serves as the protector of the Goddess Etro, who resides in the land of chaos, Valhalla. Infused with the goddess’ power, she gains incredible strength as she engages in her own battle.

She soon encounters Noel, and asks him and Serah for their help.

Although harsh on herself and others, Lightning is filled with determination and stands by her beliefs.

Another fantastic cosplay by Miss Loki Heart! Although the feathers were added later on, it’s still a very strong, well-planed photo. Thanks to Migz for sending this in!
