Final Fantasy XIII’s Lightning Strikes Skyrim

It’s East meets West. A Japanese gamer has inserted Final Fantasy XIII heroine Lightning into The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with a character mod. Here are the results. What do you think?

The stockings and starch white outfit look out of place, but Lightning sure can pull off a simple tunic.

Japanese role-playing game Final Fantasy XIII was released in 2009 in Japan. Skyrim came out in Nov. Read Kotaku‘s reviews of Skyrim and FFXIII.

      its a cultural phenomenon, you you either have to put up with it or take an arrow to the knee. The choice is yours?

    Why no PC tag, since this cannot happen on either of those.

    Get your weaboo out of my skyrim. FF is everything that is wrong with RPG’s and Skyrim is everything that is right.

    I always thought that the slightly anime style of JRPG’s really didn’t gel with the TES look, and this confirms it for me. While the quality of the model is quite high, it just looks wierdly out of place. TES games (moreso Oblivion and now Skyrim) generally have an air of realism to them that most JRPG’s don’t aim for at all. Hence, the fishnet stockings looking kinda redundant.

    This just reminds me of the numerous godawful mods adding anime characters to Oblivion. I wish anime would just sit still in its own corner, but noooo it has to spread out and infect everything else.
