Tomb Raider costume coming to Lighting Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

Never a company to miss an opportunity to cash in on its fans' loyalty and adoration, Square Enix has announced it's bringing a little of Tomb Raider into Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XII. When the game launches next Tuesday, they'll be able to grab a DLC that lets Lightning dress up as Lara Croft, mud stains and all.

The costume pack includes Lara's vest, shorts, boots, climbing axe, mud stains, and a riot shield which has, like a cheap licensed Halloween costume from the 1970s, "TOMB RAIDER" written upon it in big letters--just in case Cactrot doesn't recognise who she's come dressed as.

Lightning Returns already has several costumes for characters from other Final Fantasy games. You can snag a Cloud Strife costume for pre-ordering, or dress up as Aerith with the Collector's Edition. This first step outside the series certainly is the weirdest costume, though.

We certainly do hope it'll be free. Square Enix hasn't stated a price, at least.

      Someone should get fired for that idea.

      I had this pre-ordered on impulse...after seeing the trailer I canceled it. I'll just have to wait for FF15. 13 just had too many squeaky voices, Hope and lots of breathing for me to handle. This one appears to be the same. I did want to try that battle system though.

        I will literally pay to be able to turn the voice acting off. Like, give me an in-game purchase option.

      To be honest, the first thing I expected out of the new Tomb Raider was a Tifa skin. I'm very surprised SE resisted the urge to put that on a pre-order bonus.
