Final Fantasy XIII Characters ~ FinalFantasy-XIII.net

These are all the characters announced so far for Final Fantasy XIII. The game is still currently in production so many more will be revealed in the future. All information here will be updated when it is available.

Lightning

The cool, calm and collected main protagonist of Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning is not her real name but rather a pseudonym she adopted when she had to look after her younger sister, Serah, after the death of their mother when Lightning was 15. As such, Lightning is extremely protective of Serah and thoroughly disapproves of her relationship with Snow.

Background
Lightning is a former sergeant and raid-leader in Cocoon's military and a talented fighter. Her weapon, called Blaze Edge, is only given to the very best. She was able to manipulate gravity via a button on her thumb, but this appears to be broken early in the game by Sazh.

Statistics
Age: 21
Weapon: Blaze Edge
Height: 171cm
Birth Place: Cocoon
Alignment: l'Cie
Revealed: June 2006

Eidolon: Odin
Lightning's eidolon is Odin, who appears in XIII without his stead, Sleipnir. Instead he transforms into a horse for Gestalt form, with Lightning riding atop his back, weilding his giant sickle.

Snow Villiers

Brash and headstrong, Snow leads the civilian vigilante group known as Nora and is engaged to Serah Farron. It is the latter of those two roles that puts him in some conflict with Lightning, although the dislike seems to be largely one-sided, with Snow genuinely trying to get along with his future sister-in-law. Snow fights using his fists and his coat.

Eidolon: Shiva
Snow's eidolon is Shiva; in this incarnation, two sisters called Nix and Styria. In Gestalt form they combine to form the motorbike that Snow is seen riding in the Jump Festa 2006 trailer and elsewhere.

Unknown

This new female character was revealed in the Tokyo Game Show 2007 trailer, shown in the Closed Mega Theatre. Her picture was first shown in the January 2008 V-Jump scans. In the trailer she was seen standing on a cliff watching the sphere in the sky fall apart. CD like discs began to fall out of the sky, one of which she caught and turned into the summon Carbuncle. No further background information is known about her character yet.

Background
The pig-tailed-girl, like Mr 33cm has no confirmed name so far. She has no background so far but she has also been confirmed to be a Lusi, working for the Farsi. It is unclear whether her and Mr 33cm are working together.
