While some Final Fantasy fans have left E3 once again disappointed that Square Enix failed to confirm a HD remake / remaster or Final Fantasy VII, the company have planned to leave an imprint of Cloud Strife in the next installment in the series – Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII for the Playstation 3 and Xbox360 video game consoles.
It has been confirmed that Cloud Strife’s “SOLDIER 1st Class” uniform from the game will be available as an outfit DLC for those who pre-order the game, which is set to launch on the 11th February 2014 (North America) and 14th February 2014 (PAL). The outfit DLC will also include Cloud Strife’s legendary weapon, the Buster Sword, Soldier’s Band, the victory fanfare and finishing animation from FINAL FANTASY VII. Specific abilities that come with the Cloud outfit and weapon will be announced at a later time.
The DLC will be available at launch from the respective online stores for the Playstation 3 and XBox360 consoles.
Take a look at the latest trailer for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII below which highlights the costume and weapon combo.
