Final Fantasy XIII saw the emergence of some of the strongest and most recognised protagonists in the franchise to date, lead by the illustrious Lightning.
We also got to see some familiar summons in unfamiliar roles due to the l’Cie and fal’cie concept. It makes for an interesting cast of characters, that often split fan opinion.
