New Cosplay Ideas


Spoony Bard

506 views

Well I have cosplayed Cloud from Advent Children, and cosplayed 3 variations of Balthier, I think it is time for me to up the stakes and take on another persona.

 

Now I am considering some elaborate cosplay, but also ones that I like that fit my personality as well.

 

I would like to do:

 

Kain Highwind from Final Fantasy IV, because FF4 is by far my favorite FF, and Kain just so happens to be my fave character in it, plus Dragoons kick arse.

 

Setzer Gabbiani from Final Fantasy VI, because he is my fave character from that game, plus I love the gambler class a lot (I am god with the slots). Even though his outfit is very elaborate, I could also try his Kingdom Hearts II version instead.

 

Zidane Tribal from Final Fantasy IX. Not my fave character sadly, but he is what I would be if I were in FF, a thespian/thief who hits on every woman he sees. Plus he goes for Princess Garnet (who is my FAVE FF9 character), and my friend cosplayers her alot. :P

 

And I am considering a nice James Bond get up for any formal events at cons.

You should definately do Kain Omi. He is by far the best FF character in FF4 and as well as you have pulled off Cloud and Balthier, I'm sure you could pull of Kain just as well.

 

Just do it man :P .

Nah, Omi doesn't have the upper body for Kain.

 

*votes Zidane, if only to put him through the horror of another hair dyeing*

On the contrary. I can get a wig with that length of hair. ;)

 

And I do have one some where in my cosplay accessories.

Or you could just keep Balthier. Why trash him so soon?

 

 

I like Kain's get up, especially the staff. I think I would choose this over Setzer, although it could be fun wearing all that poofy stuff, looks kind of formal.

Zidane looks small, but if you want to be like him, or relate to him well, then he would be best for cosplaying because you would also have his personality. I think he looks kind of short though.

 

I do like Setzer's Kingdom Hearts look, that is really cool, so do that if you do Setzer.

 

Ok, so maybe I'm not helping, but I will say do something you can relate to. (Which is why I tried out DNAngel's Dark once, because I really like him. (Except he's a pimp sorta...definetly not me. But I think he's awesome))

 

The James Bond idea for formal wear sounds great! (Get a fancy watch and car too!)

No Setzer.Kefka.Kefka owns all.

 

:u:

Yes I know Kefka is awesome. However white makeup and lipstick is a no go for Omi. So Setzer. :P

C'mon, Zidane is awesome! He has a tail! Really, do you think that Setzer has a tail? Does Kain have a tail? No!

 

...

 

Go as Zidane!

:D

Not trashing him. Just need variety at cons. :P

Kain has no staff. He wields a lance/spear. B)

 

Yeah Setzer has that nice formal wear.

 

Zidane may look small, but he is somewhat tall. And yeah, I fit him well. :P

I do like Setzer's Kingdom Hearts look, that is really cool, so do that if you do Setzer.

I am considering this version over the Amano version (the first one)

Yeah. That is why I did Cloud and Balthier.

Did you just finish the balth-i-ay costume?

Yes. But in the world of cosplay, no costume is really complete. Such a curse we have to face most of the time.

Hmmm... I guess I'll have to watch out for that when I go as Squall....

Just get as far as possible.

 

Like my Balthier for example, it isn't fully finished. I need to fix the back part of the vest. Got a new collar, since the one I had sucked. Cuffs were fixed as well. I don't have the designs that Balthier has etched in his pants, and as you can see, his pants are tight on him as well. :P

What about going with something more recent and going as the dude from Vs XIII? It's the hot item right now so you may have more competition, but it looks like a sweet outfit.

Yanno whats funny, is that someone made a comment about him on another forum.

 

"Why cosplay as someone you don't know of? Like he could be a serial killer or a rapist or something."

 

I LOLed at that.

 

But I was considering cosplaying the Versus dude.

How 'bout you just go find another franchise with characters that are really easy to make a cosplay outfit thingy to go as or whatever?

That's a good point. But at the same time there's a lot of mystery...so you could have the fun of seeing a bunch of different people and what they think he is.

Well.

 

Final Fantasy has like 20+ various games, each with unique characters and styles. While change a franchise when I have one that has plenty of characters to choose from.

The only thing I know is that he is a king/prince. :P

 

However, I like the cool schway guys. That is why I did Cloud and Balthier, and highly considering Zidane and Setzer. :P

Really? Oh. I thought I remember seeing it on BB as some "future phrase".

Awesome, you're a fan too?

Anyways, just try finding somebody with lots of cool accessories that you can come by easily in real life to get for your costume...
