Well, she is probably from one of YOUR most hated final fantasy games, right? I am sorry to inform that she has the charisma, the design appeal and is CURRENTLY the FACE of final fantasy, and people have to learn to DEAL. And its not a sudden interest as she has been one of the most emblematic personalities of the gaming world lately to have an impact WORLDWIDE as seen in the success of FFXIII on the east AND west. Even if you think she is not apt to be in this game, you have to learn that she is a good character for sony/superbot as she is a badass goddess with awesome moves and would add so much to the gameplay; to the fans of the awesome XIII/XIII-2 games, that ok, fail in some areas but are still marvelous games; and to square enix as its a good way to promote their new game to be launched soon and that will gladly bless ps3s and 360s all over the world. And please don't come with the symbolism argument, as we already know that the game will have a mix of emblematic and promotional characters, so we have to be adaptive and wish for characters that could be good additions even if they are not the most loved for playstation fans.
