The schema system in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13 allows Lightning to rapidly change her combat abilities on the fly. Central to this power are the many garbs Lightning can find and equip throughout the game. Knowing which garb to use, when to change, and pairing them with the correct weapons is essential to completing Lightning’s quest.
With this handy reference, you’ll be able to tell at a glance what each garb is capable of, as well as where to find it in-game. Finding thirty or more will earn the Expert Stylist trophy achievement.
Gift Garb
Lightning gets new garbs from Hope at the beginning of certain days. Be sure to check with him each time you visit the Ark when a new day begins.

Forge, the proprietor of Red Dragon Outfitters, randomly changes his location starting on Day 3. He can appear anywhere at any time, and there is no way to predict where or when he will set up shop. Look for his icon on the map and try to catch him before he moves on. He often has powerful garb much earlier than the other outfitters, if you can afford it.
Quest And Loot Reward Garb

Many of the quests Lightning can undertake have exclusive garb available as a reward. Be sure to complete every side quest you can so as not to miss any opportunities. Some optional bosses also have powerful garb that can be claimed after defeating them.
