Title: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: EveofAbyss on September 07, 2011, 12:25:08 am
Yes, yes...con is two days passed and you know what that means...time to plan for next year!

So, who's got what plans for cosplaying from Final Fantasy for 2012?

I will most likely be cosplaying Adelbert Steiner from Final Fantasy IX, and my wife will be cosplaying Beatrix. So much armor work! It's gonna be a feat, for sure.

**UPDATE**
The Official Photo Shoot times for the Final Fantasy Photo Shoots are:

Saturday (Day 1) at 5:00pm
Sunday (Day 2) at 2:00pm

Both will take place in Esther Short Park, directly across the street from the Hilton. Meet near the main stair in the park (across from the clock tower).

I might end up doing Locke for 2012, mostly to represent FFVI and to make up for the horrible lock that was there this year. Other than that I might not bring a Final Fantasy cosplay for 2012. I've brought at least one every year, and it would be nice to take a break for once...

My brother and I might try to work on cosplays for Noctis and Stella for FF Versus XIII depending on time.

My friend and I are thinking about being Ruby and Edea from FF9, or being Lightning and Serah. We're not totally sure what we'll do but we know for sure we want to continue going from Final Fantasy since we've had at least one cosplay from it every year we've been to con. It's tradition now! haha

I might be doing a version of Pain...Not sure which. Probably depends on my body to see how much skin I wanna show or not...

Really wanna get a group to do the three as Trainers, we'll see ^^

I thought Edea was from FF8. o.o

Oh yeah, I might plan on cosplaying as Fujin from FFVIII. :3

That would make you my hero. I wanted to punch that guy.

I'll probably bring my SeeD uniform Squall again but I don't know that I'll start a new ff cosplay. I would like to do another one but I just don't know who

I've wanted to do Locke for a while, and it made my heart sink so much when I heard that there was finally a Locke at con but that all he did was annoy people.

Personally I say you should go for a new cosplay. After all, you don't want to wear yourself out by wearing the same cosplay multiple years in a row right? If you want someone to bounce ideas off of I'll be glad to help you out :)

Blah, I meant 8 xD; But none-the-less she wants to be Edea really badly so we will see what happens. It'd finally give me a chance to use my airbrush though which would be nice.

Well I do intend do do a new cosplay as this was my second year for SeeD Squall I just don't know if it will be another Final Fantasy one. I have some ideas for both Avatar and Soul Eater cosplays so we'll see what happens. Though if I thought of an epic enough FF costume I could do then I would love that.

Well both of those could be really cool. Also I don't know why, but for some reason I see you being a really good Spirit from Soul Eater.

As for an epic FF costume, how about some of the less-cosplayed characters? Some that come to mind immediately for me are any guy character other than Edge from IV(especially Kain and Golbez), most characters from VI, Jecht from X, and Basch from XII.

Haha I actually thought about doing Spirit from the intro bit where he has the scythe blades coming out of his back. My other Soul Eater idea was to do Ragnarok costume.

Post by: RikkuGrape on September 08, 2011, 01:50:50 pm
xD I know, right?! She would be perfect!

I was trying to think of someone to go with her as since we like to coordinate our cosplays but I think I am too short to do anything menacing or cool like Edea xD;; So I was thinking of bringing back my FFX Rikku since it has been a few years since I have worn her.

Post by: EveofAbyss on September 08, 2011, 02:03:13 pm
That would be amazing! Depending on how Steiner goes, I may be cosplaying Ward additionally (from VIII), in which case Britt would be cosplaying Laguna. So it'd be great to get some more VIII representation, since it is always on the lacking side of things.

DO IT! FF8 needs more love imo. I have a friend who I keep trying to get to cosplay Ward but he's too lame.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: EveofAbyss on September 08, 2011, 02:26:34 pm
haha, Yeah, I've been planning to do Ward for a couple years, but have to plan my cosplays around whether or not I will have a beard. Ideally it'll happen next year (since I'll have to shave for Steiner anyway). Here's hoping it happens!

Post by: EveofAbyss on September 08, 2011, 04:46:41 pm
Well, we've got a year. Maybe they'll pop up and fill out the VIII group. I am still hoping to find a Kiros to fill the group with Ward and Laguna, heh.

If you get a Vivi and Blank, then we'd have the makings of a group! ... and two Zidane's for me to smack my head against the nearest hard object when they pull their Zidane-like antics -is Garnet- xD

Uhh, Geen, I like the Ruby idea. Maybe... hmmm... to match Petra, you could try Selphie or something?
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012

Gina would look so cute as Selphie. x3

Well if we have Locke an Terra that eally makes me want to do a FF6 cosplay too. Not sure who though.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: Blizzara Dragon on September 09, 2011, 09:33:11 am
Well if Sam does Cyan again and Heather brings Edgar *cough cough hint hint* we could start getting a 6 group together. If not, I think the comedy stylings of Tidus and Locke will make many con-goers happy. That or want to punch us in the face...

@Zensuke Well there are 14 playable characters, so it shouldn't be too hard to pick someone lol. Some that I think would fit would be Setzer, Shadow, or Sabin. Also it just hit me that a good chunk of the party members in 6 have names that start with S...

There is also Strago and if you go with S sounds you have Celes and Cyan which makes almost half of the cast. I do have a friend who wants to cosplay Kefka so we would even have a villan.

Well I certainly don't have the body for Sabin but I could give Shadow a looser top and go of this figure.

Or maybe I could put my practice making the Kon costume to use and make Umaro.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: chelseahavoc on September 09, 2011, 09:59:22 am
>.> that could work fairly well

also i may or maynot just remake my terra costume.... depends on if i can fix the way the lycra rides up ;-;

I've been trying to convince one of my friends to cosplay esper Terra but I'm not sure if she ever will.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: Blizzara Dragon on September 09, 2011, 10:06:08 am
Umaro could be really cool. If you want to do a mascot costume you could also do Mog pretty easily.

However I think the Shadow idea is just awesome.

I've added Garnet back just for you, Eve. xD

Yay!

Britt and I started playing IX again yesterday and are all geeking out on the potential poses and interactions we can all do for photos, haha. We're so stoked to finally be doing a couple-cosplay. This will be the first time we actually get to be characters who are "together", if you read my meaning, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012

xD I can't wait to see them. Now Britt will know the pains of zero depth perception x.o (Ciel has none of that xD)

I'm gonna try making the Tiger Racket again for con, and maybe getting Precious Metal Clay for the pendant... or just be careful with clay or model magic.

I want to eventually do Esper Terra and Celes with a group, but I'll just have no room for her. Eve is my main costume, and once she goes on... she don't come off. That's why the entirety of Day 2 will be take up with her; I want to be in the cosplay contest as well. Chel, putting on and taking off Eve will be like Beryl except times like... 20. xD

Dude, if you are cosplaying Eve and I'm cosplaying Aya, we have to get a professional photographer to take our photos and make it as though it came out from the game. :O That would be amazing~

So I know we're a couple years off, but I've decided for 2013 I am going to be cosplaying Baku from FFIX. I love that guy and have never seen him done. He fits perfectly with my big bearded guy theme of cosplays, so I am so down for doing him, heh. Britt has also said in that case she wants to do Blank, so hopefully we can get a Tantalus group together for 2013. You know it would be amazing beyond words, lol.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: Mitsukai Mizu Amaya on September 09, 2011, 06:41:06 pm
I'm gonna get drywall stilts for Eve, and have a really long skirt with dark, dark blue inside and see-through like... veil fabric on the outside. Then I'll paint it with  mix of gel and paint to give it the jagged look. I'll be about 7 foot with the whole outfit on, maybe a few inches more because of the hair. Lotsa tulle under the dress, and animatronic hands that lengthen mine to five feet and use the wrist as the elbow. Stuff like that xD

And Esper will come eventually xD

Yay Edgar! I'm sorry you didn't get much notification though. If you want I can make you a prop like the auto-crossbow or something and maybe that'll help too. Either way what matters is that we like our cosplays and enjoy wearing them, not whether random people we don't know recognize who we are(although that is always cool...).

There is also Strago and if you go with S sounds you have Celes and Cyan which makes almost half of the cast. I do have a friend who wants to cosplay Kefka so we would even have a villan.

I'm your friend? **checks dates** oh, you must be speaking of someone else. I had friends once... poor wedge and biggs~ Uwee hee hee!

**tries to force himself out of character** Yes, I will probably be cosplaying final form Kefka all of day 2 (once that body paint is on it isn't coming off until the end of the day... well... hopefully it will come off at the end of the day). I think I figured out how to do the wing harness without distracting straps. I did a search on google and youtube but it appears to have never been done before, so I'm getting pretty excited. I'm not looking forward to finding out how to get through doors with 6 wings on my back though.

Haha yeah I was talking about some one else though he has been known to flake so another Kefka is awesome. Besides you can never have too much Kefka.

Also I have officially started prep work fro my Shadow cosplay... on my body. Just started taking karate again to get back into shape. Plus by next year I should have some sweet moves to show off while in costume. I likely won't start his actual costume until after Sakura-con though.

I can't guarantee I can even come though, but yeah, I'm going to try for final form Kefka and try to make it without using distracting straps on my shirtless (and pretty much pantless) body.... I can't guarantee it will be a pretty sight either >.< Perhaps I should bring a pair of boots to put sand on in order to distract people. Wait... no, don't look down... >.> never mind! **eats a baby**

I have Stella, Yuna from FFX and songstress Yuna. Though I might work on Lenne.

I have to work on the songstress anyway. 2011 was the last time I could wear songstress anyway. The front buttons have given out officially and I now have the chance to make out of non-shiney fabric.

I'm tempted to make a moogle cosplay, though I've never done one before so I'm not too sure on how. Or where I'll store it even at home, since it'll be big. I might look into it if I can determine a place to store it other than on my bed.

My surprise cosplay is from a Final Fantasy game after X. I did Summoner Yuna last year, and it was so much fun! I got so many compliments and pictures. Unfortunately, I lost a bunch of weight after being sick, and since I'm on swim team, I probably won't be gaining it back. So I can't fit into my Yuna without taking drastic measures to the obi >.- Again I'll be a Final Fantasy loner :P

Well, I pre-registered so I am coming to k-con this year (yay) and I am working on final form Kefka. Already got some red velvet for the... loin cloth (for lack of better descriptions) >.<

Still need to get the body paint/dye and the materials for the harness and wings... hopefully I can get it done in time but costs are a big issue for me unfortunately so I may not be able to complete it. >.< I have begun seriously working out so I won't be too much of an eyesore. Either way I'll probably die from emberassment... or let my inner Kefka take over (careful)

Has there been a confirmed date or time yet when we should have our photoshoot? I'm hoping it will be on day 2 because #1 day 3 doesn't really have anything going on #2 Since the body paint/dye probably won't come off over night it would probably be best if I didn't have to do the cosplay on day 1.

Just got myself a heat gun for forming the (pvc) rib cage of my FFVI final form Kefka wing harness. should also come in handy when shrink wrapping or heat shrinking wire connectors, especially when I work on my "super special awesome secret cosplay". Only $14 at harbor freight on sale right now. I also got about half of the PVC I'll need, should only cost about $10 total for the PVC (yay)

Heat gun of Judgement! Uwee hee hee~ **pew pew pew sound effects**

Doing the shoots in Esther Short Park (the park across the street from the Hilton) always seems to work out the best.

As far as time, we could agree on doing it both times now, but I am sure we will come into scheduling conflicts as more shoots are chosen. Last year we did 2:00pm and noon....I'm sure we'll end up doing something similar.

bleh... still haven't gotten around to bending the PVC piping or making the wings... bought an air compressor and air brush kit for painting the finished rib cage and for applying the makeup. Currently looking for a material I can protect my skin with so I can make the PVC fit perfectly but pretty much anything I've found so far except for a fiberglass welder's blanket all catches on fire at around 500+ to 1100+ degrees >.<

At least I have most of what I need catagorized, but hopefully I can complete everything I need to in time. :(

Well, even if I have to hang up sheets kinda cut in the shape of wings I suppose I can make due like that, but I am really hoping to make this a nice cosplay. I ordered 100 sheets of craft foam I will turn into feathers (probably should have ordered 200 since I forgot I'm dealing with 4 feathered wings...) Oh, and I did get some of the makeup setting supplies and translucent powder to take care of sweat. Just need to order the purple makeup and I should be set makeup wise.

Post by: PaladinCecil79 on August 15, 2012, 02:06:55 am
If I can make it, I'll be doing Sabin from FF6.
I hope there's a better turnout this time than last year. I'd like to see around the same number that we had in '10 and it'd be fun to do pose doing blitz moves.
I also have an Edgar costume I wish I could bring, but it'd be a hassle to take on the train.

So, schedule is out now, so we need to decide when to do our shoot so it can be booked on the official photo shoot list.

We've decided on the days, two photo shoots, one on Day 1 and one on Day 2.

Now, we just need to figure out times.

I'll make a couple suggestions to get things rolling.

Saturday @ 12:00pm
Sunday @ 2:00pm

Does this work for everyone? Check your schedules and let me know, or suggest something else.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012

Hmm... I've never gone off of the old farmer's almanac before so I have no clue on the accuracy, but the long range weather report says "SEPTEMBER 2012: temperature 64° (3° above avg.); precipitation 2.5" (0.5"above avg. north, 2" above south); Sep 1-4: Rainy periods, cool"

http://www.almanac.com/weather/longrange/WA/Vancouver

Would be interesting to see how the body makeup holds up to the rain if it does. I hope it isn't too chili/rainy or too hot... Though if it does rain, that might make some interesting photoshoot opportunities under the assumption the makeup holds up.

Wait a second... This had better not turn into a wet loincloth competition... >.>

Dude, Kefka. That looks amazing. Better be there so us good guys can have someone to mock and beat up. I wouldn't mind a couple of pics in the sprinkles of Washington. A little rain's not going to stop a great treasure hunter like me! Haha! And you'll definitely be the one to win a wet loincloth competition... by default since no one else will enter to begin with.. Except maybe Ultros.. but he wears diapers.

Terra (chelseahavoc), I'll protect you from him! ;)

lol As far as I know, my buddies are gonna be both Sabin and Shadow and another friend will be Terra. Love to see all the VI cosplayers!

As for photoshoot time.. I have no idea. I'm part of the skit thing though so other than slots needed for that, this has my priority. :D

Rock out. I look forward to seeing it. You should also re-enact the ship scene where he gets seasick.
I thought of doing that last year, but didn't get around to it.

Regarding Sabin and Shadow, do you know yet which one your friend plans to do for the shoot? Since I plan to do Sabin, it might be good for your friend to do Shadow (for variety) if the one at Facebook doesn't come. However, it would be cool to have a Sabin on Sabin fight.

For scheduling, Saturday at 4 or 5 works for me along with Sunday at 11.

Make sure you read Terra's self help book, you'll need it. ;P

I dunno if I'd win that, I bet Sabin wears a fundoshi under his pants. I've been working out the past two months, but I'm not to the point I would like to be... yet... ^^'

Ultros wins the tentacle rape competition... and karaoke.

Quote
Terra (chelseahavoc), I'll protect you from him! ;)
Who will protect you from Terra? ;P

Yeah, hopefully my costume will be ready in time. I found a neat trick for bending the PVC really easy that should help and not require as much heat protection on my skin.

Personally I would prefer the Sunday time to be a bit later. My friend and I both have low blood pressure issues and tend to sleep late, plus this makeup is going to take a while to put on and seal. ^^'
Where in the park should we plan on going for our photoshoot? I saw a bunch of pictures from last year of areas I didn't even get to explore or see so a map would be nice. Plus maybe we could meet at the clock tower/giant salmon or something?

Maybe we can play duck, duck, LIGHT OF JUDGEMENT! The game where everyone wins... (a trip to hell.)

hehe, just kidding... (kinda.)

I wonder if there will be a Sephimomma's boy this year. It was really surprising to not see one last year.

I'm glad I just happen to find a random copy of FF Anthology the other day so I will have to log some time on it before show time since I'm seriously behind on all these analogies you guys are throwing down.

@GregAtlas: Sabin wearing a fundoshi..I'd bet otherwise. Then again, I'm not that great with anything involving chance. I'm trying to lose weight here since Locke is like a stick. Amano version, anyway. Haha.
...Let's not mention that idiot octopus again. *facepalm*
Though I have to say I'm bummed I didn't have time to commission a Ultros plushie to go with my outfit.

Terra? You say that like she's dangerous. I'd take her wrath over yours anyday. Wait. Not really. ..Nope.

As for photoshoot time, I probably won't be making Sunday's. Or chances are, I won't be Locke. Ugh. Though I agree that it should be later since midday is not the best time for photos. I will try to go to take pics, at least. And I just checked the schedule. Cosplay contest will start at 4pm and I agreed to be Sebastian for the ball so I'm out for the rest of Sunday. .....I'll try to make Saturday's.

Yeah, I need to dig my FF6 out (though I'm not opening my copy of anthologies XD) It has been way over a decade since I have played. I'll only dig it out once my cosplays are finished though :3

Your Sabin probably would not wear one, but I bet the real one probably would XD (Cyan most likely would too I think, but I forgot about him... and his wife... and his children... and his kingdom... ;P)

Oh I vaguely remember that now! Thanks for the link/refresher. Lol. I'm sure I can act seasick just.. not sure if that'd be wise to do in the middle of the day and on dry, non-moving land. Haha.

lol I understand.
One thing you could also do is act it out with just poses instead of moving. You could memorize Locke's positions from the scene and we could take pictures of each pose.

I figured "making ducks disappear" didn't sound nearly as cruel as "mutilating" them. Not that there's a difference to you.

Ahaha. I get that now. Dancing mad. (*Off-topic Captain America moment. Cough*) As for that video.. Here I thought I didn't like Dissidia before. There's seriously no saving it now. And not nearly enough good "That's what she said" moments in that to be considered entertaining. B]

**hasn't seen the avengers so assumes that was a slight spoiler XD** There are 2 or 3 other videos of "that's what she said" dissidia quotes that I found. some better than others, but I figured I'd list that one since it pretty much starts with Kefka. I think my favorite that I remember is Terra saying something along the lines of "What do you plan to take from me?" all innocent like. ^^'

Anyways, I have good news. the makeup just arrived today (or yesterday rather since it is 2:30 am at the moment) and it smells so yummy I could probably eat it (plus it's mostly natural ingredients that are good for the body. stuff like green tea among other things.) I just put a layer of the cake makeup on my wrist to test for allergies, but the airbrush makeup seems to have no allergic reaction. In addition to that, it applies/dries easily and even without sealer it is very hard to rub or even scrub off, so HAVOC WI... **ahem** I mean, hugs for everyone! (that wants one) I'll also be using sealer just in case, but that stuff smells like mint mouthwash and the smell doesn't go away for about an hour. At least the makeup smell starts coming through again afterwords. :)

@Paladin: You know what we need for that? A boat! Like a BOSS! Ok, I'm done with horrible jokes.

@GregAtlas: Whaaaat. How is this even possible?! The Avengers is the best movie of all time! XD A part of my subconscious is taking all the FFVI characters and putting them in the Avengers' roles. I'm a dork, yes. Ah, yes, Terra is the epitome of innocence. Except when she tries to take your head off. Haha.
Thanks to you, I can't unthink Kefka smelling like mint mouthwash now. :/ At least that'll solve his bad breath problems. But that sounds great! And you should teach me your body painting ways seeing as one of my future projects, I'll be trying to turn myself into a red demon and one after that will be his blue offspring.

Wish I have good things to say about my Locke outfit that I'm still working on. Turns out the white shirt I got that I was going to paint the stripes on is too small so.. unfortunately, I'm going to be ghetto-fying this ghetto outfit some more. ><'' It's making my inner cosplay-perfectionist.. dancing mad, as it were.

It is pretty hard to tell time wise without having a clearer look at how the weather will be. I hope this cold spell doesn't last x_x I'm not running around mostly naked when it's 40 degrees out. I would love to plan this early ahead and those times sound good to me personally, but I'm taking a wait and see approach for now and am open to suggestions.

I might end up cosplaying Kefka on day 1 instead of day 2 like I was originally planning depending on the weather. hmm... if I weren't out of money I would make myself a cloak... of doom...

Post by: EveofAbyss on August 24, 2012, 08:15:41 am
Well the whole point of having two shoots is to accommodate everyone. It isn't expected for everyone to show up to both, but just so everyone has a better chance of getting to a FF shoot in some capacity. So, if you can only make one, that is essentially the point.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: Zensuke on August 24, 2012, 10:29:10 am
any of the listed times work for me. I'm bringing to FF cosplays so it would be nice to be able to do both shoots. I would like to get some shots with people from the same game so if there happen to be more FF6 or FF8 people on any particular day I'll try to coordinate.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012

More chances of me making day 1's shoot. I'll try to go take pics on day 2 but no guarantees.
Being a self-taught photographer with a decent camera, get with me if anyone here wants some better pics of your cosplays any time during the con.

If it happens to rain, we can either meet inside the Hilton lobby or under one of the gazebos.

Woot. I shall, hopefully, be bring Sabin and Terra with me for Day 1 and I'll let them know of Day 2's time.
Just in case it's not on the con map, can I ask where the main stair/Esther Short Park is?
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: EveofAbyss on August 28, 2012, 04:59:24 am
Esther Short Park is directly across the street from the Hilton, and the stairs are a few paces past the clock tower. I only said meet there because there is another meetup at the tower at the same time.

Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: EveofAbyss on August 29, 2012, 03:31:45 am
I really enjoyed XIII. Up until fighting Orphen, when I wanted to kill myself for a week straight. That game was fun, but took a psychopathic leap in difficulty in the last hour or so of story, and it left me gasping for breath. Still, though, it was fun. Had a nice emotional story to back its hyper-beautific imagery.

Oh, and yes I will post the photo shoot time on the front page.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: GregAtlas on August 29, 2012, 03:33:52 am
Well... good news and bad news on my end -_-

Good news first: I got all the plumbing I needed to get my airbrush working and wow, I can't believe I've gone this long without one. This would have made so many projects in college fun to do and I can't wait to try it with the airbrush makeup I bought.

Bad news: After bending the first piece of PVC into a backbone form for the rib cage my funnel melted... I tried another technique to bend the PVC but it looks pretty bad and I already screwed up one piece that was meant to act as a collar bone. If I do manage to get a makeshift PVC rib cage made up I'll have to just do makeshift wings unfortunately with the short amount of time I have to finish this. We shall see, maybe I'll figure something out. I don't want to cancel but I certainly don't want to come just colored purple with no wings.

I'm going to get some sleep now... maybe my dreams will give me some inspiration and hopefully I can find a metal funnel. If I do manage to get something put together then odds are as Chelsea said, I will be cosplaying Kefka on day 2.



Life... Dreams... Hope... Where do they come from? Where do they go? These things... I will distract you with cuteness so I don't have to finish the line.
(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F_8kXsPIEkJZI%2FRyItm8ITYXI%2FAAAAAAAAAGE%2F6S2d41lTQdk%2Fs400%2Fthe-evil-kitten.jpg&hash=873284e99fcf962ba8e8008a2b9520bdbb701ddd)

Oh, and even if I don't finish something good, I'll be happy to come cause havoc and take pictures. Not that I need to dress the part to act like myself. ;)

I would have liked 13 if #1 it didn't play itself #2 There were more exploration and reasons to look at the pretty visuals #3 voice acting... #4 the 360 version was gimped slightly.
For those reasons I didn't get very far into the game (I don't think I got that far anyways)
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: Zensuke on August 29, 2012, 03:42:20 pm
the end boss of XIII wasn't hard. He just had a percent chance for game over. winning that fight was based on luck or the knowledge beforehand that you would need death resist gear. That's just bad game design.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: Ginpatsu on August 29, 2012, 03:54:35 pm
@GregAtlas: I wish you luck.. and success! And excellent dreams! But you better find a way to make yourself fabulous enough for that damned clown!

I guess I'll be the single one out with saying I can't stand XIII. Although technically I've only watched it being played (for a total of about an hour) and I have to say I don't want any part of it. Hell. I played and liked XII and no one seems to like that game much. Still say VI is the best though. *grin*
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: veraca on August 29, 2012, 05:49:09 pm
XIII was fun to watch XD I watched a playthrough of it and XIII-2 on youtube earlier this year. It took a day or two, but it was a great cinematic experience on crappy dorm internet and the plot was good. I don't know how I would've remembered what was going on in some cases. It didn't seem like there were a lot of chances to go off and do your own thing, or grind. :/
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: EveofAbyss on August 29, 2012, 06:12:35 pm
You didn't have any chance to wander until maybe the last 15% of the game. A big downside given the trends of the FF series. Still, enjoyable. Didn't "play itself" half as bad as XII, though. I hated XII by the way, for that very reason...and it was boring, and the characters were bland, and...I'll stop there, haha.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: Zensuke on August 29, 2012, 06:15:55 pm
I really liked XII. but yeah VI is clearly the best.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: GregAtlas on August 29, 2012, 06:24:53 pm
Even though I heard 12's main character was an annoying prick (and Dissidia plays him off as a pedophile) I probably would have liked it if I could have customized the controls more. If I remember right they had it set up so if you press right the camera looks left and vise versa. I never played past the tutorial level pretty much.

Perhaps I'll give it a chance if I ever get the opportunity to play it again, then I can rightfully hate it if it deserves it. :)

Kefka isn't a clown, he's a sorcerer. They only made him look like a clown in dissidia imo.

Managed to find a metal funnel, but even if I get these pipes bent by the end of the day I won't have time for the wings so I'll have to figure something out to make due if I get to that point...

I'll be around the 'con (not sure if I'll make it to the photoshoot, but it sounds fun!) as a Chocobo gijinka. And I'll be at the ball in the same cosplay. So if you see a short girl in a yellow dress with a bird mask and orange tights and shoes, that would be meeee. I'm always up for pictures and I'll have my camera with me, too. ouo

Post by: Rainfeather on August 30, 2012, 01:21:55 am
Actually, I think in the retranslated (correctly translated) version, they do mention he's a clown. And he looks that way from Amano's original designs! Everyone loves him as a clown, anyway. A sorcerer clown. :3
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 2012
Post by: GregAtlas on August 30, 2012, 02:51:17 am
Nope, not a clown. Original designs don't make him look that way either imo O.o (oh yeah, and the anthologies version didn't help with the clown image either due to the cutscenes) but one thing is for sure... He/I like clowning around... and scaring little children. ;)

Okay, I just got the harness and bone structure for the wings finished. If I leave for kumoricon the day after tomorrow I should be able to make it passable, but I have already set the 30th as the date to take my neighbor down to Portland so I might not have that time available. >.<

Still need to sand/spray paint the PVC, figure something out for the wing material since I won't be able to set them up the way I want (but luckily I have some left over white material from making Kaito's coat), and cutting/sewing together/hemming the loin cloth... blarg.

The bone structure didn't turn out as nice as I wanted, but it'll get the job done as a harness and wing bone structure.

I had to contain the urge to cackle (too loudly). It would have been pretty weird to hear that coming from Kaito XD

hmm... perhaps weird isn't the proper word. XD

Hopefully my knee and ankle will heal enough to not give me issues tomorrow. Day 0 they got tweaked somehow and my knee felt like it was like bone on bone grinding. >.> I believe it is just a stressed tendon though since it is intermittent.

I will try to dampen the insanity... #1 well... if you know kefka you should know what this is #2 different reason from #1 but anyone who knows Kefka should know why it should be damped #3 Save my voice in case I get picked for the slightly anime dating game.

Then again... I can't gaurentee it is even possible to contain it. >:D **cat, I'm a kitty cat, and I dance all day and I dance all day**
