Tifa's getting done, thanks to Chel. She gave me a pleather skirt from her AC Tifa that I modified into OG Tifa, and a white tank for the shirt I need to hem.

Also, pics! n.n

Beautiful pictures, Mistukai! I am still in awe of how perfect you are as Garnet. It is so refreshing to see a gorgeous, brilliantly done Garnet (for once). Absolutely lovely (especially with those choice shots - well thought out, too!).

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #104 on:** March 15, 2011, 01:32:34 pm »

Thanks, Eve. That really does mean a lot to me, since her and Zidane are... well, my favorite characters in anything ever xD

Here's as far as Tifa's gotten done... which isn't much xD I'll be getting her wig with either this paycheck or the next, depending on the price of the wig I find.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #110 on:** March 27, 2011, 09:37:16 pm »

xD Thanks. I'm going to get the wig next, and plain black gloves to use as a base for hers... and suspenders, boots to craft into hers... etc. etc. xD I'm working on her mostly next month, after my next paycheck. This one is eaten up almost entirely by Pirate England and Jeanne d'Arc. @.@

Oooh, making cosplay... how I missed thee <3

... I do need to hem the shirt still though xDDD it's just a raw edge right now.

I have no intention of playing that game....or even acknowledging what you mean by Duodecim.

But really...the people who just now are learning who Tifa is...they're all going on my hit list. Flippin' n00bs.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #114 on:** March 28, 2011, 10:29:00 am »

xD Why won't you play Duodecim?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #115 on:** March 28, 2011, 10:48:35 am »

The disgustingly pretentious titles Square is releasing ('Dissidia Duodecim Prologus Final Fantasy', 'Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy'), for one. I know that is completely superficial, but it is a huge turn-off for me. I also am just pretty fed up with Square and how they are milking the FF series. I loved Dissidia, but I really don't see a need for a sequel. I am not particularly hyped about the features of this new game anyway. Just seems like needless tedium, considering there will probably be no storyline whatsoever (and storyline is what I enjoy the most about FF games).

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #116 on:** March 28, 2011, 12:38:07 pm »

And there, I would have to agree with you xDDD

With a few exceptions, I chose to believe all the FFs after 10 aren't true FFs. And, well, IX is the best game EVAR, so I'm content with that... -coughcough- xD

Which reminds me... third episode of the FFIX fandub I'm in as Garnet got released >3< I am so so happy... and my Garnet is TEH UBER BRITISH xD -pouncing off the walls with her happy-

And Final Fantasy PSX titles have NEVER looked better than they do emulated on the PC. I'm capturing footage for this dub from Episode III onwards (Episode III was the last one released), and I am flabbergasted by how pretty it is on my PC in 1366x768 fullscreen O-O

Same with FFVIII, which I'm also recording for a dub. So... s-so pretty O-O

Once I own VII myself, I'm gonna try that one... haven't tried VI or V yet though. Might tonight. It's just... so... pretty... [/redundant] xD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #117 on:** March 28, 2011, 02:21:33 pm »

Where can I find these fandubs? I'd love to check them out and hear Garnet the uber-Brit, lol.

That's the FFIX one. I just started the FFVIII one... with my new mic that doesn't fail spectacularly (my new mic is Garnet in Episode III; the one in I and II is the fail one xD... Episode I and II also have the fail footage, while Episode III I captured myself)

Still getting the cast together for FFVIII, but I'm mixing and editing the footage right now.

The reason she's British is the girl running the FFIX fandub is splitting up Gaia by accent. Lindblum is American, Alexandria is British, Bermecia is Australian, Cleyra may be Australian as well, but possibly French or Russian, Conde Petie is Scottish, etc. etc.

OokamiYami · « **Reply #123 on:** April 06, 2011, 01:28:54 pm »

So for my Final Fantasy cosplay progress, I already commissioned someone to make Tifa's suspender straps for me. In addition, I am currently styling Serah's wig. I noticed the Tifa wig I ordered was a bit short, so I am using that wig for Misora's cosplay and will order a longer wig. I still need to order Stella's wig as well and need to create Tifa's midriff, gloves, and boots soon. X_x For Serah's boots, I just need to paint the boots a lighter tan and fix up her skirt a bit. Ugh! Dx

Hopefully ill be going as jecht from FFX. I have a fracture ankle so am not working out as much but hopefully be recovering soon so i can go as jecht

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #125 on:** April 26, 2011, 09:15:17 am »

It'll be awesome to see someone as Jecht (and the fact that you're committed to the character and working out to perfect it...major respect points to you on that!).

I will be doing a mainstream: Summoner Yuna. It was originally planned that I was going to be Yuna in my group of friends that are going with me. We were going to have a Seymour, Rikku, Lulu, Moogle and Yuna. But they all bailed on me after I started making it, and I figured that I was already far enough into it that I may as well finish it.

I'm also considering Oerba Yun Fang simply because I have fabric for her cosplay. And we have the same eyes/hair more or less.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #129 on:** April 29, 2011, 02:53:51 pm »

i havent seen a lone summoner yuna for a while (useualy they have SOMEONE) i wish you luck on finishing it n.n

As much as I like Final Fantasy 7 and 9, I've noticed that a ton of FF cosplayers dress as characters from those games. I felt like it'd be a good idea to throw in something different, so I'll be cosplaying Locke.

Here are a few clips of me acting in-character:

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #134 on:** May 08, 2011, 07:33:55 am »

I hear you on that, PaladinCecil. VII and IX seem to be the major fan-favorites, although recently I've been pressed to wonder how many who cosplay from these games have actually played them (you just get the feeling that a lot of the younger crowd are cosplaying a character because they saw someone else doing it, and they liked the character, so they do it without much of the personal gaming experience the slightly older crowd may have...like a reflection of a reflection). Just things I think about...

but yes, there's definitely a steady supply of VII and IX cosplayers (and I'm one of them, lol...but at least I've played the games *snarkypompoussnarkyvoice*). I'm all about the obscure, underrated characters, so I'm happy to see you stepping out and doing Locke. ^_^

gobbs24601 · « **Reply #135 on:** May 14, 2011, 11:18:36 am »

No promises, but I'm going to try and go as Shotgun Turk from Before Crisis or possibly Original Game Yuffie...and I miiiiight be able to coerce my dad into going as Veld with me as well! It's all depending on what my dad wants to do though, we might do Doctor Who or Kuroshitsuji instead. Or heck, we might just have Yuffie as the Fourth Doctors companion! Just got to make sure she doesn't steal the TARDIS, nyuk nyuk nyuk...

OokamiYami · « **Reply #136 on:** May 14, 2011, 09:31:24 pm »

I finally got the right wig for Tifa, her black skirt, earrings, and is in progress in making her red gloves! Yay! I just ordered the white tank today and when I receive it, I will start turning it into a midriff. The items I still need to get are shoes, sculpey to form those elbow armor and ones on her shoes, and her suspender strap which I already commissioned the person to make it for me.

For Stella, I got the small cardigan and the black dress. I still need the long blonde wig, boots, items to make her sword (if I have time), some jewelry, and blue eye contact lenses.

For Serah, I got the wig, the costume, and the shoes. I just need to make her accessories, paint the shoes tan and white, and also re-dye her wig since it's too bright. Plus, I will be using the same blue eye contact lenses as well.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #137 on:** May 14, 2011, 10:32:38 pm »

Glad to see your Tifa is making progress, OokamiYami. I...still haven't started on any of my cosplay. Still got four months though. I still have so much physical conditioning to do before I can make any clothing items. It's tough. I have to get to the right shape for my cosplay, so I can't start working on anything but me, lol.

OokamiYami · « **Reply #138 on:** May 15, 2011, 12:46:41 am »

Time sure flies by quickly. x.x But I'm sure you can reach your goal, EveofAbyss.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #139 on:** May 16, 2011, 10:47:49 am »

Just took a look on my gun-arm for Barret that I made in 2009. Still in good shape, nice and solid (I get so paranoid about my props...as if time alone will turn them into dust over a year or two). So, that's good! The weird thing, though, is that it is now too short for my arm. I am pretty sure my arm has not grown any longer. (I've added mass through strength-training, but not length (how's that even possible?).) So, I need to add some discs of craft foam to the base to make it longer so most of my forearm can fit inside it. That shouldn't take much at all though. So, yay for that!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #140 on:** May 23, 2011, 07:03:54 pm »

How's everyone's costumes coming along? *bump*

I have a question about costume integrity. Looking at the art and character design for Barret, it looks like the glove on his left hand goes up the same length of his forearm as his gunarm does on the other arm. In the art this is acceptable since there is only an inch or so of forearm shown due to perspective, but in reality this probably would not look right or be practical. So, what do you do in this situation? 100% accuracy or adapt the costume to realism? I would think obviously I'd just make the glove go to the wrist like normal, but then that art keeps bugging me and I'm not sure which would be the better way to go.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #141 on:** May 23, 2011, 07:29:12 pm »

Also, do we have a preference as to when the Final Fantasy photo shoot happens (as in what day)? I know it is way early for discussing these things, but I figured I'd still bring it up.

Chiroyo · « **Reply #142 on:** May 23, 2011, 07:50:46 pm »

:3 If I can finish my sword, I might be crossplaying as Noctis this year (from FF Versus XIII).
Photoshoot...probably on the second day? There are a LOT of photoshoots happening on the 1st day already and I'm in the VOcaloid one, so =P

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #143 on:** May 23, 2011, 08:16:19 pm »

I'll only be involved in the FF shoot, so I really don't have any conflicting events shoot-wise. Second day is good for me.

Chiroyo · « **Reply #144 on:** May 23, 2011, 10:25:14 pm »

Second Day also lets people have some time to cool down a bit from the first day :3
xD you think it's early to start discussing this now? Vocaloid 2011 started their thread a few weeks after the last year's convention ended =P
We should probably find a photographer, since people start scheduling thtese things in summer time.

speaking of scheduling, I still need to get my AA table >.>

Usually we don't really have "official" photographers at the shoots. It is more like everyone just gathers and takes their own pictures and commingles. I know in past years there have always been several photographers around the area, but I don't think we (at least in the FF group) have actually "reserved" one so to speak for the shoot.

Could be a nice change though if that is what you had in mind or if that is the way the shoots happen now.

And how are you two cosplaying from Versus XIII? That game isn't out yet, is it?
