Title: Final Fantasy Cosplay?
Post by: weeemus on 2010-06-28 23:02:32
I'm not sure what to cosplay as, Can anyone give me some suggestions?
I think i may go to the Manifest event in order to promote my business as a hairdresser, but ofcourse i have to look slick in order to be approached  :P

Here is my youtube, post some suggestions there if you can  :lol:

How about Reno or Kadaj?

Kadaj would work best with your current hairstyle.  Or maybe even Cloud.

I'm trying to come up with suggestions beyond the FF7 world, but my brain isn't working right now...

Thank for the suggestions! haha kadaj, His hair is so much longer than mine! hmm. Well I think the manifest starts somewhere in September so I still have time to let it grow! if only i didn't cut my hair, it used to be down to my chest level  ???

lol cloud, going to have to super bleach my hair 3 times! since i dyed my hair jet black haha.

hmm...any other characters? some reason i just can't think at all when it comes to cosplaying :\

For Cloud hair, it's not just getting the color right that's the problem... you'll need to stick cement in there if you want to keep the spikes up ;D

Since your hair is already dyed black, maybe it'd be better if you tried cosplaying a character that has black hair.  How about Tifa? Vincent?  You'd need much longer hair for that, though...

EDIT: It doesn't really match your current hairstyle, but another possibility is Tseng.

Come to think of it, I would've thought you'd have naturally black hair ???

Post by: weeemus on 2010-06-29 16:15:06
Although I'm Asian, my natural hair and brow color is a medium brown and i dyed jet black since i wanted an artificial looking black. As for Vincent, I can try the turks version I guess, but his costume looks a bit plain in my opinion. ( not as cool in real life ) And as for Cloud, I will have to dye my eyebrows as well haha : <

Oh and i got a suggestion on my youtube video, somone mentioned Sasuke from Naruto and Noctis.

So far I'm considering are:

Aww, I do think you'd make an awesome Vincent. Just get clip in extensions, or a 3/4 fall wig to give you the extra length.

Or go as someone else  :P

yuna? just dye your hair brown.

"L" from Death Note.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Cosplay?
Post by: The Seer of Shadows on 2010-06-30 01:06:01
I think Noctis is the best suggestion yet.

"L" from Death Note.

Lulz I thought that same thing. ;D I think he'd make a good L. Too bad he's not an ff character. =P *can't think of any male ff character with short black hair* O_O ... Vincent from when he was with the turks? XD

This picture really struck me as Reno though. http://x1e.xanga.com/334f813668d34268082768/m213849128.jpg

Maybe if you get a Reno wig. ^0^

Lol sure if you don't mind bleaching/dying your hair n all. :P Hair extensions shouldn't be too much of a problem cuz he only has a small rat tail so that could work.

Post by: The Seer of Shadows on 2010-07-01 14:19:58
Sounds like something from FF1.  "Get a Rat's Tail, present it to Bahamut, and Remus will change class to Reno" :-D

Sorry 'bout that.  I'll find something more productive to do...

A closer shot of the red contacts!

Anyway i styled my hair as some anime character off the top of my head. I don't know the anime or name of that girl/boy. All i remember is there hairstyle and that they have red eyes, wears black and has a sword.

Ohh I'm doing a Squall cosplay too. :D Well, femme Squall. Which griever necklace did you get? Dissidia or FF8?

I bought this (http://www.fantasysquare.com/sale_pic/Squall_NecklaceII_Big.jpg) one a really long time ago for fun but I need this (http://www.myimportstore.com/store/images/Accessories/FF8GrieverSPMetal.jpg) bigger one for the Dissidia version (which Timu ordered for me last week =P)

I prefer the original, but for an accurate cosplay I need the right necklace. =P

and is he making it actual size? or to scale?
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Cosplay?
Post by: Chocobo_Girl on 2010-07-08 05:38:25
Well it's proportionate to my height, it's still pretty big though. O_O

Here are some pics:

If you want one you'd have to pay for it lol.

EDIT: The guy who's making it does do commissions if you're interested, but PM me or Timu if anything. I don't think advertising is much appreciated on qhimms... :P

EDIT2: The barrel on my gunblade totally spins. x3

THat's pretty cool. Not as cool as the real thing, but still cool.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Cosplay?
Post by: The Seer of Shadows on 2010-07-08 07:06:42
It's far cooler than the real thing, I'd argue.  Seeing as "the real thing" doesn't exist, except in the form of a few bytes coding for its model in the Dissidia rom :P
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Cosplay?
Post by: Klownboy on 2010-07-08 07:40:57
it looks pretty interesting, of course i'd rather get a stainless steal one ^^
however, would run into problems with that....
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Cosplay?
Post by: The Seer of Shadows on 2010-07-08 08:28:58
Because if you are going to make a cosplay sword out of metal, you might as well sharpen it into a real sword :P

Post by: Klownboy on 2010-07-08 08:39:45
yeah, and most conventions don't really like you walking around with a sharpened sword... :cry:
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Cosplay?
Post by: Timu Sumisu on 2010-07-08 15:55:41
also... the wooden one weighs about 4ish pounds... i'd wager you wouldnt be able to hold up a steel version.

If i ever had the chance to do a FF cosplay, i would go for Vincent. He's my favourite character, although he's somehow plain, since he's a secret/secondary char in FF7 :/

:Q___

Although my favourite cosplay, would definitly be Uchiha Itachi
