Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII description.

Equilibrium (アンビバレンス, Anbibarensu?, lit. Ambivalence) is a recurring job class in the Final Fantasy series. It first appears in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII where it is worn by Lightning, who receives it from the god Bhunivelze after her awakening.

Lightning dons a black chestpiece with a high collar with a bare back strapped on belts. From her hips hang two symmetrical white capes with pockets and red undersides. She wears silver pauldrons, and the upper part of her arms are covered with red straps adorned with silver pieces. From the pauldrons hang two symmetrical white capes, also red underneath. Lightning wears red and black over-the-knee boots and black gloves.

Etymology[]

In the Japan, this garb is known as "Ambivalence". Ambivalence is the coexistence of opposing attitudes or feelings (such as love and hate) towards a person, object, or idea.
