"This is the most customization you'll be able to do with a Final Fantasy character," Square Enix said, contrasting talk of Lightning's more simplified visual design.

Players will be able to perform "exhaustive customization" of Lightning, the game's developers said in a pre-recorded presentation shown at PAX. "Players can control Lighting as they see fit." "The game system is much more active, and the world features much more interactive environments as before," Kitase said.
