Square Enix hates cosplayers.
Note: this is a joke
You wouldn't think so with all the people emulating their characters at every convention in the world, but look. FFX-2 presents almost an entire wardrobe of costume choices for people to choose from, just on its own. The variations of each costume for the three girls compounds and confuses matters even more. Further confusing the costumers who wished to pay tribute to their favorites were the appearances of characters multiple times through Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Advent Children, The Last Order, the variant games for the Gameboy Advanced and DS, and as rumor has told a whole new version of FFVII for the PS3.

All these variations on characters causes chaos in the cosplay world as people bicker about accuracy of this person and that person's costumes and the subtle differences between them all.

I was not sure of my theory until I got to play Final Fantasy 12. The insane clothing and accessories of the characters and the incredible details you can now see thanks to the advanced graphics are murder on aspiring cosplayers. The costumes for almost every character are incredibly gorgeous and in some cases dangerously so!

We all know that seeing your supermodel of choice in a spot-on Fran outfit would be to die for, but have you thought of how true that statement is? If the costume itself weren't enough of a danger to a person's ankles and anyone within flailing distance of the claws, think of all the poor teenage girls who'll be starving themselves for months before the convention just to fit into such a monstrosity!

A less dangerous example is Basch. What the heck is that criss cross, rainbow patch thing he has strapped to his torso?

People, for the good of cosplayers across the world, lets send Square-Enix a message. Boycott Final Fantasy characters this year. If no-one cosplays anyone from their games their fan-cred will drop massively and they'll pay the price for their cruelty.

So won't you please cosplay a character from an actual cartoon series? The world will be a better place for it. Take a stand with me this year and boycott Final Fantasy character.

Do what you will, Tom. I say bring on the Fran cosplayers.

AT ANY COST.

or people should only cosplay the indistinct secondary characters.

GoGo(?) from 3/or 5 or 6 whichever it was in japan, just thow a patchwork blankie over yourself and copy others.
who else is frumpy and formless?

I like how "Note: This is a joke" was in teeny tiny letters in the first post

It's true, dear God, it's true.
But we will always have old school black mages to fall back on.

Everyone loves cosplaying FF characters. No one's actually going to stop no matter how crazy and complicated the costumes get. It was just a theory that Square hates cosplayers BECAUSE the costumes keep getting harder to reproduce.

pinkrandomattack · « **Reply #7 on:** January 09, 2007, 03:43:01 pm »

i think, at least alot of people, like to cosplay from ff BECAUSE its so complex and the character design is well thought out and actually artistically exicuted, noticable, recognizable and a challenge for the costumer (i like a challenge anyway, but im not one to chose a cosplay just cause i like/identify with the character, but because i want to make something awesome)

and no matter how many sehporoths are at a given con you know thers a group of girls that squeel in unknown decibles at each and every one they see, no matter the quality of the costume or atractiveness of the cosplayer underneath. its how they do.

well you know what i mean.

But I love Fran! Even though she kept trailing behind my party and would subsequently be killed by the skeleton beasties.... :?

That was pretty week for one of your famous Random Pink Attacks

What happened to the good old days when I would post and use a word like Oriental or Chick and then 90 seconds latter you would reply that that is not an appropriate term any more? That’s why I did not recognize you at the costume panel you should have waved your finger in my face and said, “that’s not appropriate”

There is a costume idea for you can go as a female version of Politeness Man from National Lampoon, and you can be Politeness Chick

i dont remember this chick conversation, though i do remember the oriental one. i dunno. ive lost my spunk? i didnt realize that i was notorious for being so snarky, though i dont think my irl friends would be surprized, i have a habit of correcting people. one night realy late we thought it would be funn to "cast" the internet, i was wikipedia.

Well in her defense she was the only one who didn't get the joke and was being difficult. You should at least give her credit for being a drag and not playing along.

A friend just sent me a link to

http://www.final-fantasy-13.net/

FF13 will have a female hero with a Gunblade

my friend thought I should get started early

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #14 on:** January 16, 2007, 08:09:08 am »

YEAH! Bring back the gunblade! Those things had so much possibility!

pinkrandomattack · « **Reply #15 on:** January 16, 2007, 02:14:04 pm »

yeah I heard burning crusade has blood elf chicks

squall leonheart · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2007, 10:32:23 pm »

Well I somewhat disagree because it's the flashy costumes that bring a new level of cosplaying into play. And yeah I would never stop cosplaying squall, he'll always be my favorite FF character of all-time. The new costumes I'm not fan enough of FF12 to cosplay something as hard as basch or balthier since I intend on making my 3rd cosplay Urahara Kisuke from Bleach (1st and 2nd being SeeD squall and regular squall). I guess in the end I don't entirely agree with the theory even if it's a joke =P.
