Boobs feature 'sure-fire jiggling' in 'Lightning Returns'

Lightning from the Final Fantasy XIII series will be given a boob job because the director wanted them bigger.

Nobuhiro Goto, character model designer of Lightning Returns, freely talked in an interview with Famitsu via DualShockers about wanting Lightning's character to have bigger boobs and confirmed that they would jiggle.

Q: Is it true you said you wanted Lightning-san’s size from a C cup to a D cup?
Goto: [Director Motomu] Toriyama-san said “I want it bigger” so…
Q: I heard that the chest Jiggles?
Goto: Yes, her chest jiggles. Since everyone can decide what costume she’ll wear, you can make sure it does (laughs). By the way, since Lightning swings her arm when you change her weapon in the menu screen, that’s a recommended action for sure-fire jiggling! To see it even better it could be useful to equip a small shield. Look forward to it!

Yeesh. This is one of the reasons why the game industry gets no respect. People consider video games to have a strict age range of high school because respected franchises like Final Fantasy decided to feature women with huge bosoms that bounce around.

While that's why the art direction some companies take, that's exactly what should make people pissed off about this. In no way is Lightning a character from Dead or Alive, and Square Enix wanted to showcase the lead as a "strong female character."

Good work.
