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 (http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs49/f/2009/151/e/8/Final_Fantasy_IX_UK_by_papercutperfect.jpg)
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 (http://ff.munkyisland.com/images/ff9/zidane5.jpg)
Vivi (http://www.ffcompendium.com/art/9-vivi-c.jpg)
Garnet (http://www.freewebs.com/halvarthewarrior/ff9%20garnet.jpg)
Steiner (http://media.animegalleries.net/albums/userpics/59184/ff9-steiner.jpg)
Eiko (http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-01/art/ff9-eiko.jpg)
Freya (http://fdsfantasy.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/ff9-freija.jpg)
Quina (http://maxpages.com/files/aeriscodes/Big%20Quina.jpg)
Amarant (http://www.ffcompendium.com/art/9-amarant-c.jpg)
Kuja (http://thelifestream.net/wp-content/uploads/dissidia_artwork_kuja.png)
Beatrix (http://www.ffcompendium.com/chara/9beatrix-f2.jpg)
Zorn (http://www.ffcompendium.com/art/9-zorn-a.jpg) and Thorn (http://www.gamedepiction.com/media/ff9-thorn.jpg)
Queen Brahne (http://www.deviantart.com/download/66893322/Queen_Brahne_FF9_by_Enkida.jpg)
Black Waltzes (http://doo.nomoretangerines.com/no421/blackwaltz2.gif)
and plenty of others. The full list is here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_of_Final_Fantasy_IX)
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 (http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=10901.0)
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
-
That would be fun ^^
-
I also really hope we get a Vivi, because then I can do all the Sword Magic Arts, heh
-
YAY I get to heal people ^^
-
And if any people cosplay Summons, there ya go!
-
I want a Zorn and Thorn too....and a Black Waltz. I think that would be so freaking cool x.x
-
Yeah that would be I am excited to be apart of this for next year ^^
-
Yeah, we may actually form a complete IX group (that must be a record, I've never seen a full IX group anywhere).
-
Yeah that would be awsome ^^
-
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 >_>;;
-
There are those good cosplayers.
-
Yeah they are really good. We can have a group like them.
-
Yeah we can and We will be epic ^^

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.
-
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.
-
I'm so going as Eiko ^__^ I've been looking for an excuse to make that cosplay
-
heh, awesome. This should be a great group next year. ^_^
-
Of course it will be ^^
-
Dibes on dress Garnet!
-
Okay as long as I get jumpsuit garnet.
-
Alright we got two more.
-
yay
-
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
-
that is true.
-
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.
-
Yay! I hope your cousin sticks with it. ^_^
-
Go amy ^^
-
Thing is, we both aren't a huge fan of their look in the game. We're bigger fans of this design: Concept Art (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/1/18/Zornthorn.jpg).
So, if we do end up doing Zorn and Thorn, that may be the costumes we do, instead.
-
Well it would be quite original I would like to see that.
-
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 :P
-
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. :)
-
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.
-
We need a group you know to be epic and all ^^
-
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! ^^;;
-
Okay will do ^^
-
I'm sure I could use some help when I get to making the armor for Steiner. ^_^
-
Then I shall help! ^^
-
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?
-
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.
-
Soulnd like an Idea ^^
-
I just wonder if you could find craft foam big enough to make the chest plate ....
-
You can I have seen it done
-
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
-
Nice ^^

I think that is the one I was thinking about :P
-
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.
-
My friend wants to go as Vivi, so I mayve make her that~
-
Oooh, I hope your friend goes through with it. I am getting a lot of ideas for some Steiner/Vivi shots I'd like to get.
-
... and edit in photoshop to actually give Steiner his magic sword. xD Yay for teh flame sword! ^^
-
Yup! ;D Magic Sword ftw
-
This group is going to kick butt. Since there are so many people trying to get one spot maybe we should make selections?
-
Are there really? I guess I hadn't been keeping track. Well, I don't have to worry, heh.
So, do you want this to be a group as in one cosplayer per character, as opposed to a photo shoot, for example, that is just everyone who cosplayed from that game? Like the Cosplay Troupes that you see at cons? I can understand that.
-
Yeah I want it to be a group, so one person per character, or per outfit for character. And then we would walk around together for a day and pose for pictures and what not. So maybe we should do sign-ups >_> I also want all the costumes to look great :3
-
Yeah, that makes sense. I will probably be only Steiner next year, or Steiner and Game-Version Barret, so I will be fine with wearing Steiner for a whole day, depending on how well it gets made.
-
I guess I can make a sign up sheet. :P
-
You're so good at it! ;D
-
Done and done :D

And applied for. ^_^
-
There I updated the first post of this topic :3
-
I would love to be a part of this! ;D
I'd love to go as either Beatrix or Eiko... but Beatrix is taken, isn't she?
-
I definitely need pictures of this group, because you just don't really find FF9 cosplayers around, which sucks because that's my favorite FF game.
-

Yes she is but Eiko is still up for now. Do you have any pictures of your other cosplays?
And don't worry leon, there will be lots of pictures XD
-
I have a few, but they're not very good. I'd rather wait until I get my Yuffie & Cardcaptor Sakura pictures in. I'll post some up after Kumoricon.
-
Alright sounds good to me :3
