FF XIII Lightning re- Rose General

This is Lightning in an outfit inspired by Beatrix from Final Fantasy IX

The boxes are empty because I wanted to make the picture look like pages from the arts book I saw. So I would love to put other people's art in those blocks of Lightning wearing this outfit.

I started this picture before the game was released because I saw that they were doing some costumes inspired by previous Final Fantasy's but noticed that they left out 8 and 9.

As we all know the current head artist of Final Fantasy hates 9 because he didn't do that game, why is eight missing I don't know. 12 the same reason is 9.

Any who I thought that Beatrix would be perfect for lightning to cosplay as certainly a lot better than putting her in Aerith's outfit from Final Fantasy VII. Pink hair and a pink dress, bad idea.

Rose General provides fan service and is bad ass. I also think it's more appropriate than some of the outfits that actually is in the game for lightning.

Unfortunately I did all the line art before the game came out and had no idea that her sword would be always equipped on her back meaning that the diamond blade here would not be able to be drawn in battle.
