She's On Like Eidolon: Final Fantasy XIII marks the first time in the series that a game's story revolves around a female protagonist. Lightning, a lone wolf in character, is on a near-suicide mission to save her sister, battling hordes of state-sponsored monsters, soldiers, and robot dragons alongside her trusty Eidolon, Odin. (Think Optimus Prime with a big ass sword.)

Why So Serious? "My parents died. I have to be strong for [my sister] Serah, so I thought I needed to forget my past. And I became Lightning. I thought by changing my name, I could change who I was...You can't run away from yourself." —Lightning in FFXIII

Final Fantasy XIII is available in stores now for Xbox 360 and PS3.
