Final Fantasy X-2: Paine, Rikku, and Yuna

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

final fantasy x-2 cosplay - paine, rikku, and yuna / yuripa

With Tidus’ disappearance, Yuna sets out to find clues to lead her back to him with the help of Rikku and Paine. Although Yuna and Rikku have changed their lives to live in a more positive lifestyle, their companion, Paine, is more emotionally distant and prefers to keep her past a secret from the two.

You have to love the location and the characters’ poses on this photo. Wonderful job on the props too! Great work!

Final Fantasy X-2: Yuna 03

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

final fantasy x-2 cosplay - yuna 03The kind-hearted summoner changes for after the events in Final Fantasy X. Yuna still puts others’ needs before her own, but she becomes more open and direct, looking up to Rikku as a sort of role-model. She even picked up Rikku’s expressions such as “disasteriffic” and “oh, poopie!”; something the younger Yuna wouldn’t have dreamed of saying.

Yuna still seems to be one of the cosplayers’ favorite character to cosplay even though the game’s already somewhat old. I love seeing different versions of Yuna from different parts of the world.

EDIT: Thanks to Raiku for the Deviant Art Link!

I’m not sure if Koffel is the cosplayer or the photographer of this image since I found it in a random website, but if anyone would like to point me in the right direction where this is originally from, please do let me know!

Final Fantasy VII: Yuffie Kisaragi

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

unknown cosplay 016 And then there was 16.

I never thought I’d be posting so many different anonymous cosplays here in this blog. But I’m really curious to know who these cosplayers are and what series they’re cosplaying from.

Her headband reminds me of Naruto, but I don’t remember any ninjas like her. I could be wrong though, since I’m not all that familiar with Naruto.

Thoughts? Guesses? Please leave them at the comments section, thank you!

EDIT: Thanks to Anime Illusions’ Snoozer for the reference pic showing this is Yuffie from Final Fantasy VII!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Cloud Strife 03

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

This is the third Cloud cosplayer I’ve seen that’s taken my breath away.

final fantasy vii 7 advent children cosplay - clous strife 03

It’s a simple shot, but very artistic. Cloud does have a tendency to go about by himself to think things through, and this is why I think this photo captures Cloud’s personality perfectly.

Nice work on this! I wonder if he used hair cement too?

Final Fantasy X-2: LeBlanc

Monday, October 6th, 2008

final fantasy x-2 cosplay - leblancWell, I’ll be.

I believe several people speculated this to be someone from Final Fantasy, though I’ve never really gotten her character name. From what I know about this image (aside from it sitting in my old hard drive for a while now), it was taken from PC Online and she’s a character from an MMO game.

Other than that, the background of the photo looks the same as Aerith Gainsborough’s from Final Fantasy VII. Taken at the same time in the same venue maybe?

EDIT: A huge thanks to Nathan for commenting to let me know that this is LeBlanc, the leader of LeBlanc Syndicate from Final Fantasy X-2!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Cloud Strife 02

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

final fantasy vii advent children - cloud strife 02By the time Advent Children begins, Cloud had already given up his life as a mercenary and worked as a courier for the “Strife Delivery Service”. He lives in the City of Edge with Tifa, Marlene, and Denzel. It was peaceful until Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo decided to confront him and threaten the children.

Pretty! Though I’m wondering what those black feathers are doing in his hair. And isn’t that snow out? Wouldn’t it be cold in that outfit?

Final Fantasy X-2: Rikku and Yuna

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

final fantasy x-2 cosplay - chibi rikku and yunaOr should I say, “chibi” Rikku?

I’m not sure about Rikku having a songstress outfit; I’ve never played the game before. But they’re very cute though. I wonder if they’re sisters?

I think Yuna’s hair needs to be a little bit more flipped. I really like her boots though. Great job on this, and thanks for sharing!
