The enigmatic knight Lightning has appeared in Eorzea and adventurers are joining in her battles against otherworldly foes throughout the realm. In an effort to rally support for her cause, we call on adventurers to find the mysterious warrioress, join her in battle, and take their best screenshot to commemorate their struggle.
The top thirteen screenshots will be selected by the Community Team, and members of the official forum will be able to vote and select five prize winners. The five winners will receive a FINAL FANTASY XIV / Lightning Returns: FFXIII special carrying bag signed by Naoki Yoshida, Toshio "Foxclon" Murouchi, and Michael-Christopher "Fernehalwes" Koji Fox!
