Alright I personally think it is never too early to start planing. I find this especially true with the costume design for Final Fantasy 9. A lot of the costumes are very elaborate and will take a lot of time. With that being said it would be great to get a group together for this frequently undercosplaed game. Our goal is to be better than this group

There are so many characters that someone could cosplay as from this game that I don't think it would be too hard to find one that fits your tastes.

Characters:
Zidane
Vivi
Garnet
Steiner
Eiko
Freya
Quina
Amarant
Kuja
Beatrix
Zorn and Thorn
Queen Brahne
Black Waltzes
and plenty of others. The full list is here

The characters with a red name next to them have been taken. If you would like to be part of this group please sign up here

Things that this group may be doing:

private photo shoot
skit in cosplay contest?
cosplay chess
pre-reg party
mock battle

I will go as garnet or Zidane if the other does not want to do it.

If we could get a Zorn and Thorn, I'd pass out from fanboyism.

Those two are nuts, lol

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #3 on:** July 12, 2009, 08:46:04 am »

That would be fun ^^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #4 on:** July 12, 2009, 08:50:46 am »

I also really hope we get a Vivi, because then I can do all the Sword Magic Arts, heh

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #5 on:** July 12, 2009, 08:51:55 am »

YAY I get to heal people ^^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #6 on:** July 12, 2009, 08:52:49 am »

And if any people cosplay Summons, there ya go!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #7 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:12:21 am »

I want a Zorn and Thorn too....and a Black Waltz. I think that would be so freaking cool x.x

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #8 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:13:16 am »

Yeah that would be I am excited to be apart of this for next year ^^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #9 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:39:34 am »

Yeah, we may actually form a complete IX group (that must be a record, I've never seen a full IX group anywhere).

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #10 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:41:25 am »

Yeah that would be awsome ^^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #11 on:** July 12, 2009, 11:08:10 am »

There was a pretty good one on DA. Let me find the picture. Here it is http://www.deviantart.com/download/124296702/Final_Fantasy_IX_UK_by_papercutperfect.jpg The thing I love is that the Kuja said that she made her costume yet it looks strangely a lot like mine >_>;;

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #12 on:** July 12, 2009, 12:02:06 pm »

There are those good cosplayers.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #13 on:** July 12, 2009, 12:10:01 pm »

Yeah they are really good. We can have a group like them.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #14 on:** July 12, 2009, 12:10:58 pm »

Yeah we can and We will be epic ^^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #15 on:** July 12, 2009, 01:29:58 pm »

Well I would hope your costumes look alike, they're the same character! ^_^ (I know what you meant, I'm just being stubborn, lol)

And that group is pretty amazing. The Zorn and Thorn look awesome. The only one I can't place is the person on the far right - that girl. I can't recall anyone in the game looking like that. Lani? Scarlet? I dunno.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #16 on:** July 12, 2009, 01:58:14 pm »

They had icons and names for all of them....I'll look it up latter. As for the costume yeah they should look the same but I mean it is the same material and even the same boots. The ones I got from cosplaymagic had those stupid things coming off the side and I cut them off and made them look more accurate. Should could have still made it. It would be very lucky to find all the same material as that store.

If I can convince either my cousin, or one of my friends, I may be able to give you guys a Zorn and Thorn.
I've been wanting to cosplay from FFIX, for a while now, and those two happen to be part of my 'Need To Cosplay!!' list~!
I'll get back to you guys, if I can convince someone to be my Zorn.

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #18 on:** July 12, 2009, 03:30:13 pm »

I'm so going as Eiko ^__^ I've been looking for an excuse to make that cosplay

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #19 on:** July 12, 2009, 04:03:29 pm »

heh, awesome. This should be a great group next year. ^_^

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #20 on:** July 12, 2009, 07:46:22 pm »

Of course it will be ^^

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #21 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:53:43 pm »

Dibes on dress Garnet!

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #22 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:56:06 pm »

Okay as long as I get jumpsuit garnet.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #23 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:20:35 pm »

Alright we got two more.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #24 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:21:46 pm »

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #25 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:49:28 pm »

This is mad popular! Anyone have any ideas why everyone wants to cosplay from IX lately? Nobody was showing IX any love up until the past couple years, heh

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #26 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:53:12 pm »

that is true.

CloudStrife32 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:53:30 pm »

I say Nikki implanted chips in everyone's brains, that told us all to want to cosplay this, next year! =O
Well, everyone that knows Nikki. This year will be my first con, and I've only gone to one meet-up.
Oh! I may have convinced my cousin to go as Zorn, next year. I just have to keep bringing it up to her, and she if she still wants to do it, or not.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #28 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:54:10 pm »

Yay! I hope your cousin sticks with it. ^_^

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #29 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:54:21 pm »

Go amy ^^

CloudStrife32 · « **Reply #30 on:** July 12, 2009, 11:10:36 pm »

Thing is, we both aren't a huge fan of their look in the game. We're bigger fans of this design: Concept Art.
So, if we do end up doing Zorn and Thorn, that may be the costumes we do, instead.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #31 on:** July 12, 2009, 11:11:31 pm »

Well it would be quite original I would like to see that.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #32 on:** July 13, 2009, 10:52:56 am »

Well it is a well known game that many people don't cosplay from. A lot of the costumes could be a challenge so it will be fun

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #33 on:** July 13, 2009, 10:54:13 am »

Yeah, I just look forward to seeing you two, whatever you end up doing. I'll admit, I really don't like Yoshitaka Amano's renditions of FF character designs, but it's better than nothing when it comes to cosplay, I suppose.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #34 on:** July 13, 2009, 11:36:36 am »

I don't care what one you do at all. I'm sure it would look great and it would be nice to have some more characters.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #35 on:** July 13, 2009, 08:21:12 pm »

We need a group you know to be epic and all ^^

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #36 on:** July 13, 2009, 10:59:43 pm »

I can help anyone with any part of their costume. Clayworking, painting, sewing, dying, armor-making, wings, etc. Hell, every year I bring extra sewing crap to Kcon; find me and I can help fix things! ^^;;

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #37 on:** July 13, 2009, 11:22:39 pm »

Okay will do ^^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #38 on:** July 14, 2009, 11:32:24 am »

I'm sure I could use some help when I get to making the armor for Steiner. ^_^

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #39 on:** July 14, 2009, 12:26:56 pm »

Then I shall help! ^^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #40 on:** July 14, 2009, 01:18:00 pm »

Yay, I'll get a hold of you later on when I get to doing it. Probably won't be til next year, but still. ^_^ What other costumes have you done that has armor work?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #41 on:** July 14, 2009, 07:46:11 pm »

You could use the craft foam tutorial. It turns out quite well, and a shortened version of that is just coating the craft foam in resin.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #42 on:** July 14, 2009, 07:46:48 pm »

Soulnd like an Idea ^^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #43 on:** July 14, 2009, 07:49:35 pm »

I just wonder if you could find craft foam big enough to make the chest plate ....

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #44 on:** July 14, 2009, 07:51:49 pm »

You can I have seen it done

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #45 on:** July 14, 2009, 09:27:16 pm »

Yeah, I definitely have some ideas.

You can buy craft foam in rolls at JoAnn's, but it isn't nearly thick enough. Some layering would be necessary, but I would most likely be making the armor out of a craft foam/plastic sheeting combination-compress. I have a tutorial site I will be referring to when I start working on it - "Armormaking for the Fiber-Glass Phobic" lol

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #46 on:** July 14, 2009, 09:36:53 pm »

Nice ^^

I think that is the one I was thinking about

Yeah, it's a pretty nifty place. I've been meaning to get her books, but haven't yet. Her tutorial for Vincent helped me through my first cosplay. Evarrrr.

cool.
