Final Fantasy IX: Zidane Tribal

final fantasy ix cosplay - zidane tribal by da-monkeyA Genome created by Garland on the planet Terra, Zidane Tribal was created to replace Kuja as a more powerful “Angel of Death”. However, Kuja became jealous of his successor and cast Zidane down to Gaia, where he was found by Baku and his group of thieves, Tantalus.

Before the events of the game, Zidane left Baku in search of his real home with only his memory of a blue light to guide him. He was unsuccessful in his quest and returned to Baku to rejoin Tantalus.

Awesome cosplay by da-monkey! Definitely well-deserving of the Daily Deviation award. Congratulations also to the photographer, Kogenta85!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Tifa Lockhart and Cloud Stife

final fantasy vii advent children cosplay - tifa lockhart and cloud strife by you miTwo years after Cloud Strife was able to defeat Sephiroth, Cloud lived with Tifa Lockhart in a city called Edge where they have been taking care of Barret Wallace’s daughter, Marlene, and an orphan named Denzel. A strange new disease called “Geostigma” threatened the lives of many citizens, including Cloud. He then journeys to meet the Turks, a group that performs operations with the megacorporation Shinra. It was later revealed that Jenova, the extraterrestrial life form whose cells were injected into Sephiroth, was connected to the cause of the Geostigma.

Impressive cosplay by You Mi as Tifa and her friend, Jasmine! This somehow reminds me of a scene from Dead Fantasy, but I think I’d rather add this to Advent Children. Thanks to You Mi for sending this!

Final Fantasy IV: Rydia

final fantasy iv cosplay - rydia by anita lustBorn to one of the few remaining pure-blood Summoner families in Mist, Rydia is the daughter of the protector of a remote village with the Eidolon Mist Dragon. One day, the Dark Knight Cecil Harvey along with his best friend, Kain Highwind, were ordered by the King of Baron to deliver a ring to Mist Village and killed the dragon barring their way. What they didn’t know was that once an Eidolon dies, its respective summoner dies as well, inadvertently killing Rydia’s mother in the process. Once they realized what they had done, they offered to take Rydia to safety, but she refused their help, overhearing that they were indeed the dragon slayers.

Beautiful cosplay by Ukrainian cosplayer Anita Lust! I really love how she interpreted the original character design with all the gold details! Thanks to Anita for sending this and please visit her blog for more of her cosplay photos!

Final Fantasy VII: Tifa Lockhart 04

final fantasy vii cosplay - tifa lockhart 4 by frankiki

Tifa Lockhart’s character was developed to use the “Martial Artist” character class that appeared in previous games in the Final Fantasy series. Nomura Tetsuya described Tifa to have several dimensions, calling her “like a mother, a sweetheart, and a close ally in battle” and “remarkably strong, not only emotionally, but physically as well”.

Nomura initially had difficulty deciding whether to give her a mini-skirt or long pants, so he passed his sketches around Square’s offices and the majority approved of the mini-skirt design.

Does this mean most of the people who work in Square are guys? Then again, I like the mini-skirt design too and I’m a girl! Hee!

Awesome Tifa cosplay by Frankiki though! And thanks to Andrew for sending this!

Final Fantasy VII: Vincent Valentine 02

final fantasy cosplay - vincent valentine 2Thirty years before the beginning of Final Fantasy VII, Vincent was a member of the Shin-Ra Electric Power Company's Administrative Research Division; a fancy title for the company’s Black Ops unit more commonly known as the Turks. At the age of 27, he was assigned to supervise the Jenova Project in a town called Nibelheim, and fell in love with one of the supporting scientists, Lucrecia Crescent. Despite their love for each other, Lucrecia harbored a secret past related to the death of Vincent’s father and therefore decided to break off the relationship, leaving Vincent for another scientist named Hojo.

Impressive cosplay of a much younger Vincent! Although I didn’t think he was actually so old in the game. Thanks to Feanne for sharing this!

Do Your Own Final Fantasy Cosplay

When it comes to Final Fantasy, we often can’t help thinking of the handsome Cloud and pretty Tifa; still, there are many other excellent characters in this game. But in manner of Final Fantasy cosplay, it is somewhat difficult for cosplayers or their fans to portray the role of Cloud or Tifa with the same look in the show. I think the most important aspect is the costume that they wear in the game, and then is the others, such as the accessories, the countenance, the lines and the behaviors, which matters much to the cosplaying.
Thereby, the first thing we ought to do is to select a suitable outfit for the Final Fantasy cosplay while considering the figure. If you are a little boy who is only half height of Cloud or even shorter, you should choose a smaller sizes in the neck, sleeves and other key body regions. That is to say you should choose the cosplay costume accordingly. And the best way for you to get an ideal array is to tailor it, while, as we know that there are numerous online stores offer free custom-made for buyers as long as you give them your own sizes. That will be easier and much more convenient for you to get a Final Fantasy cosplay costume. Or you could hire a tailor, but maybe not so cost-efficient to some extent.
Anyhow, as long as you are fond of cosplaying Final Fantasy, it doesn’t matter who you are and how you look like. Just enjoy yourself.

Final Fantasy X: Lulu 02

final fantasy x cosplay - lulu 02Born on the island of Besaid, Lulu is a stern and scathing young woman who is nonetheless caring towards others. She grew up with Wakka, Yuna, and Wakka’s younger brother, Chappu, with whom she had a romantic relationship with. Lulu was particularly harsh to Tidus when she first met him, but she gradually changed her opinion as the story progressed.

Normally, I wouldn’t even feature something like this on Cosplay Holic, but there’s something very sexy about this photo… I’m not particularly sure why, but I really love it! Thanks to Wins for sending this!

Final Fantasy XII: Van

final fantasy xii cosplay - van / vaan / vannA 17-year-old orphan who lost both his parents and his only brother Reks, Van is a cheerful and energetic boy who dreams of becoming a sky pirate in command of his own airship. As part of his “training”, he kills dire rats in the sewers of Rabanastre on a daily basis, earning him the nickname “Van Ratsbane”. He makes a living as Migelo’s assistant, running errands and at the same time, pick pocketing from Archadian soldiers, claiming to be taking back what is Dalmasca’s.

Beautifully detailed cosplay! It looks like the silver parts of the armor are made of heavy paper or cardboard. I wonder if the gauntlets are made of the same material? Thanks again to Syaza for the contribution!

Final Fantasy X: Tidus 02

final fantasy x cosplay - tidus 02The main protagonist of Final Fantasy X, Tidus is a rising Blitzball star player from Zanarkand. He was transported to the world of Spira after Sin attacked Zanarkand. There, he met the young summoner, Yuna who was set on a pilgrimage in an attempt to put an end to the very creature that attacked his homeland. Tidus joined Yuna and her guardians hoping that he would one day find his way home.

That water looks so calm that it’s almost… fake. I’m hoping that’s not salt water or it might ruin the costume! Thanks again to Syaza for the contribution!

Final Fantasy X-2: Yuna 07

final fantasy x-2 cosplay - yuna 07 from comiket 2010Yuna's Songstress dressphere that she wore during the concert in Spira is actually made up of Lenne’s memories. This resulted in a sphere screen projecting the both of them singing to everyone in attendance. It was also due to these memories that Shuyin had mistaken Yuna for Lenne and that Yuna thought she had feelings for Shuyin.

She’s so cute! And I love this dress on Yuna, more than her original X-2 attire. Thanks again to Hannah for the photo!
