lol, whatever.

Anyway, we are expanding, yeah there's a lot of VII cosplayers, but like I keep saying, it's not like any of us are asking for VII cosplayers, that is just the pattern of cosplayers who had showed up first.

As for non-VII cosplayers, let's see...we have: Squall, Black Mage, White Mage, Tonberry...things are branching out, so...yeah, give it time if it really bothers you, lol.

I would cosplay Rinoa one day >_> not any time soon though =/

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #553 on:** March 12, 2009, 09:40:26 pm »

Yeah, Kahlan and I are also planning to cosplay as Laguna and Ward, not for this Mock-Battle, but for the Shoot. So, we will be wearing VIII cosplays at some point in the weekend.

Aima_Lucavi · « **Reply #554 on:** March 12, 2009, 09:42:35 pm »

Yeah, I didn't realize until today that my character is mute, lol....so that should be interesting.

Yeah, I actually try really hard to stay in character when in cosplay. That is the full experience to me, it isn't just putting clothing on, it is becoming that character. That's my take on it anyway.

I must attempt this. Such would be awesome

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #563 on:** March 12, 2009, 09:51:53 pm »

I know it definitely makes me respect a cosplayer more when I see them being in character. It adds a whole new level.

Aima_Lucavi · « **Reply #564 on:** March 12, 2009, 09:56:33 pm »

I was pretty faust character... i think i can pull off my zetta cos character. As for jim while i did love outlaw star I dont think that any of the characters actually went in depth enough to be in character

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #565 on:** March 12, 2009, 10:02:02 pm »

heh, Being in character can be as simple as talking like them or using a phrase that the character uses. It's just about the effort and the accuracy.

Aima_Lucavi · « **Reply #566 on:** March 12, 2009, 10:08:49 pm »

hm... i had no idea. i am interested in learning more *nods*

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #567 on:** March 12, 2009, 10:25:33 pm »

I'd suggest checking out cosplay documentaries or videos on youtube. Pretty much anything that follows a professional cosplayer will give you a glimpse into what it's like to aim for this in-character mindset.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #568 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:21:32 pm »

haha, then it doesn't have to that hard, heh.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #569 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:22:43 pm »

It wasn't too hard to be Temari XD

Cloud should be kinda easy. Maybe I can be Cloud at the end of the movie

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #570 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:25:55 pm »

heh, I'm post-credits Cloud, the version you don't see...when he's all giddy with the childrens!

AriaxKitsune · « **Reply #571 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:30:38 pm »

Heh, it'll be really hard to be in character for Red...Rawr, lol.
I'm the kind of person who squeaks and jumps when some surprises them. That's why I like Chii so much, not much change.
But, I guess it's time to put all those theater classes to work.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #572 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:36:21 pm »

Well, Red XIII doesn't say much at all in AC, he has one line, lol.

Red is a very solemn character, though. That is one facet of him that comes out very strongly.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #573 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:41:53 pm »

No, Yuffie is pretty "regular" compared to most of the characters. She's very bubbly, energetic, happy-go-lucky. Perfect character for cosplay, heh.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #574 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:50:58 pm »

That's what I figured, heh, I just have this feeling you'll make the perfect Yuffie. ^_^

That's what I'm worried about, I'm bubbly and ditzy and, think Tohru from Fruits Basket and you're spot on, lol.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #576 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:55:44 pm »

But doing a humanized version of a character, people are automatically going to assume that you're going to be going for a spunky, peppy personality. It matches the humanized costume. Don't worry, nobody is going to be holding you to these weird standards, heh

AriaxKitsune · « **Reply #577 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:59:58 pm »

Yeah, but as a Thespian it's hard not trying, I'll be probably more of a "lets do this thing" attitude, but I will probably have a tinkerbell blanket with me (there's not much to the cosplay), that'll be a sight.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #578 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:02:28 am »

lol, well, you'll have all of our support, of course. You'll be welcomed warmly.

AriaxKitsune · « **Reply #579 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:03:56 am »

I'd hope so, that's why I go to the conventions, lol.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #580 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:05:44 am »

Ah, I don't know what I'll do. Act mage-y I suppose? I guess I can kind of make up something since my character is so generalized and doesn't have a set personality.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #581 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:12:22 am »

I didn't mean to make it sound like everyone has to be in character for them to gain my respect. I love all y'all just for doing FF cosplay, heh. Didn't mean to pressure anybody.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #582 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:14:39 am »

Oh, I just supposed this was getting into "How we are to act during filming" ha ha. I tend to cosplay things that my personality already matches so it isn't that hard to get into character.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #583 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:17:20 am »

Yeah, that's cool. With me, I tend to just be naturally drawn to characters that already act very similar to me. Barret is just over-the-top with his blunt, forceful speech, but we're basically the same. I still try to make sure I'm in character, though.

But yeah, I'm not asking anyone to do anything for this, just do what you like, heh. We'll go over the details about the mock-battle at the pre-battle/walkthrough. I was just saying that I personally like being in character.

AriaxKitsune · « **Reply #584 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:31:17 am »

I do to, I love acting the part for any cosplay.

Side note: Rawr, I hate waiting for the cosplay chess placement for s-con, I think the waiting will kill me, heh. And it's only been a week since the registration closed, wow impatience stinks, lol.

Black~Rose · « **Reply #585 on:** March 13, 2009, 06:27:14 am »

I like tifa's personality. She is pretty happy and bubbly but at the same time she's very strong and independent ^^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #586 on:** March 13, 2009, 08:08:08 am »

Yeah, I think Tifa is probably one of FF's strongest female figures, one of the best role models for young women.

And Cid is totally the role model for young men. Cuss and drink, kiddies! lol

nikkiolie · « **Reply #587 on:** March 13, 2009, 08:16:36 am »

I would say Tifa would be one of the few girls I cosplay

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #588 on:** March 13, 2009, 08:29:22 am »

Curious, Nikkiolie, why would you say it is you prefer crossplaying as guys? Is it because you see a lack in female characters that appeal to you? Or something else?

Syd-chan · « **Reply #589 on:** March 13, 2009, 03:26:28 pm »

Ehhhh, Reno personality. xD I'm normally pretty random, but a lot of people are at conventions. >< I'll need to be thinking of witty things to say, since I'm cosplaying FF VII Reno. :/ A little darker than Advent Children, I think. >> Also, I need to figure out if I'm going to use the 'zo to/yo' speech thing. xD

Nikkiolie: xD I don't blame you. Tifa's pretty awesome!

Black~Rose · « **Reply #590 on:** March 13, 2009, 03:32:01 pm »

yush ^^ thats why my main cosplay is tifa lol and I will continue to be tifa forever ^^ But I might end up getting a new tifa cosplay sometime lol.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #591 on:** March 13, 2009, 03:32:48 pm »

I'm so in the dark about this...what is this "zo to/yo speech" I keep hearing people mention when talking about Reno?

xD It's fine! I actually didn't know until I saw it and went back and watched the movie again. When the movie's in Japanese, it's my understanding that he says "zo to" after most sentences, almost like "dattebayo" for Naruto (but cooler [/shot'd] ). They didn't do anything for this in the English dub, but a fansubbing service used "yo" in place for "zo to" in the subtitles. It just...kind of stuck. xD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #594 on:** March 13, 2009, 04:09:40 pm »

Ah, so must be some degree of casual/slang dialect particle endings. Fun, heh

So does that mean you'd speak in strictly Japanese? Or would you add it to the end of English sentences? lol

Syd-chan · « **Reply #595 on:** March 13, 2009, 04:21:57 pm »

xD Yup!

Ehhh, not sure about that one yet. xD Maybe no strictly Japanese sentences JUST yet~ >> Well, I don't want to be all "YOGAIZZ. YO. WAZZUP, YO? ZO TO, YO. ....YO" all the time. o.< xD So, I think I may just have to figure out what works for me.

Scary thought, lol

But yeah, that makes sense. If I ever come across someone who I think would fit you well (and wouldn't require you to bind or do anything strenuous) I will pass it your way, heh.
