Your wardrobe is your arsenal in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

Fashion is fatal in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.

The third and final installment in Square Enix’s spin-off trilogy to its Final Fantasy role-playing franchise (due out Feb. 11 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3) restores ex-soldier/pariah Lightning as the protagonist, this time with a closet full of deadly armor. These armor collections — dubbed “schemata” — number in the dozens and offer much more than style. We’ve had a few weeks to mess around in the game and have since learned to take dressing up seriously.
