Cosplay: Lightning from ‘LIGHTNING RETURNS’ is striking! Like..you get it?

Strikes.

Let it not be said that a crappy video game series cannot beget (begat? I don’t fucking know) some utterly stunning cosplay. ‘Cause this rendition of Lightning from Lightning Returns is some of the most ornate cosplay I’ve ever seen. Staggering levels of detail.

Cosplayer and deviantArtist neko-tin has created an almost uncanny Lightning cosplay from Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns.

Normally, I wouldn’t include a picture of the original character, but this cosplay is so good, I’m putting the Lightning character image from Square Enix into the mix just for comparison.
