I'm thinking about trying to get a Final Fantasy 7 group together. So far I am thinking AC.
I was planing on going as Cloud and I should have a friend that would go as Vincent and I was hoping someone *cough*Rodney*cough* would go as Barret again ::)
We may also have a Cid. But if anyone else is planing on going as FFVII cast let me know
Cloud: Nikkiolie
Barret: Eve
Aerith: Kahlan4
Tifa: Black~Rose, Ryanne_Monday, Evil-Bunny-of-Doom
Yuffie: Dana, LtCommanderRichie (?)
Red XIII: AriaxKitsune
Genesis: Fudgie MD
Reno: Syd (FFVII)
-
Well, if this group lasts until Kumoricon, you can count me in.
Where were you for the past couple years? lol
We could have used a dedicated AC group last year.
But anyway, I am totally in if you want to do it for Kumoricon. I'll be Barret as usual.
-
Hey Nichole. I have a Cloud outfit and wig if you wanna buy it off me.
-
Nichole, I think you would actually make a pretty good Tifa. You probably don't want to because it is a common character to cosplay, lots of people do it, but I think you actually have the face for it.
But if you really have your heart set on Cloud, there is another one I think you would be absolutely perfect for: Crossdressing Cloud! Remember the scene in FFVII where Cloud has to dress like a girl to sneak into Don Corneo's Mansion? You should do that version of Cloud! I've only ever seen one person do it and it was pretty good, but I think you could pull it off and be really amazing with it.
Either way, can't wait to get a group going with you. ^_^
-
Hey, you would make a really good crossdressing Cloud! You should Cosplay that one. XD
-
i wanna cosplay from 7, just not sure who... i did lucrecia from dirge last k-con, but i wanna do someone more recognizable, but it's hard when the characters i'd go as are also cosplayed by a ton of other people >.< i think it would be fun to cosplay as aeris, there are just always sooo many cosplayers doing her...
-
My only surviving FFVII costume at the moment is my Yuffie one, and that's the outfit from the first game. I'll have Angeal done eventually, but that's Crisis Core. I suppose I could grab a black wig and do a Zack with you guys!
-
I really liked your Yuffie costume. Any plans to bring it back?
-
Hey Nichole. I have a Cloud outfit and wig if you wanna buy it off me.
What costume is it?

I thought about Tifa and I also though about girl cloud. I was also thinking that Crisis Core Cloud was a little thinner....Maybe I'll just go with cross dressing Cloud >_>
-
It's the Final Fantasy Advent Children Costume. It's pretty decent. I have a wig that I started styling for it, too. But I think you'd make a good cross dressing Cloud. X3
-
I don't know >_> I kinda want to and not really at the same time. I think I want to cosplay Crisis Core the most ;D
Marie do you have a picture of the wig? I may buy that off you
-
I can take a picture for you tomorrow if you want. It's not fully cut, though.
-
that's fine with me. It would save me quite a bit of money
If I go as Crisis Core Cloud I wouldn't have to worry about muscle too much. Most of his body is covered up, all I would need is to buff up my arms a little and that wouldn't be too hard ;D
-
Yeah Cloud's muscley. So the more you can hide the better. Since girls can't really get that toned arm look like guys can, unless of course.. they're REALLY built. Or flex all of the time. x.x
But yeah I'll take some picture tomorrow!
-
sounds good to me, and the part of his arms that show aren't too bad ;D
and he doesn't get most of his muscle till after Crisis Core :P
-
Even in VII Cloud isn't really that big. Well, he did have the "Popeye arms", didn't he? lol I guess it's in the forearms.
But anyway, I am glad to hear you would want to do Wall Market Cloud. That'll be awesome. We can find a roly-poly guy with a blonde mohawk to hit on you, lol.
-
meh, I really fell in love with cloud from CC so I want to show how much I like him by cosplaying an epic one ;D
-
Great idea. It'll be well-received I'm sure.
-
yeah I'm sure it will be too. Seeing how at Kumoricon this year there was only one Cloud that I saw >_>;
and it was CC cloud XD
-
Yeah...Kumoricon 2008 attendees officially failed in the Final Fantasy cosplay department, lol. It was sad....so we must make next year amazing to make up for it!
-
yup we will....if only someone was still doing Angeal ::)
-
SAAAAWWRY! I'm still doing a couple FF cosplays though! I just decided I didn't want to deal with a wig this year, and I would need to if I did Angeal.
-
yeah I guess....though we can still hang out in a group ;D
I want a Zack to walk around with.
ZackxCloud is one of my favorite pairings :)

how can you not love that?
-
I can absolutely not love it, lol. And here's how: because there's nothing in the series to suggest any relationship of that magnitude.
But then again, I just hate seeing characters I like so much thrown into fan/fetish-made scenarios, heh.
-
alright that is fine by me. I still love it though ;D
anyway, so is anyone else planing on going as a character from FF7?
-
I'll be going as Genesis. The only real problem with it are the mass amounts of red leather.
-
Oooh, well good luck getting that costume together! Hopefully it turns out.
-
I really liked your Yuffie costume. Any plans to bring it back?
Probably, yeah. Gotta fix just a few small things broken with it, but my armsock is easily the coolest bit of armor I've ever made.
yup we will....if only someone was still doing Angeal
D: FINE! I'll NOT be Zack for your AC group and stay Angeal!
-
If you want to be Zack that is fine with me ^_^
-
Probably not this year, but one of these days my group was thinking about going as FF7 again and remaking our turk cosplays. I'd much rather do someone different like Cait Sith though because everyone does Reno now. ::)
Plus, I want to try new things (and Cait Sith is my real favorite).
-
awwww sad. It would be nice if we could get the whole cast, I mean the whole cast. Everyone from ever FFVII game and spin off XD
-
It does sound like a lot of fun >,<
I'll think about it. Definitely. Because this group looks like a lot of fun and I still haven't decided my new cosplay for kumori.
-
yeah you should think about it. I'm sure it is going to be a lot of fun ;D
-
That'd be really cool if you chose Cait Sith (because I too love that character, and I am sooooooo done with the massive Turk groups that show up everywhere...*grumblegrumble*)
-
yeah the turks can get a little annoying but it's still cool ;D
-
I'll be going as Genesis. The only real problem with it are the mass amounts of red leather.
Sorry to butt in, but EEE! GENESIS! I will have to glomp you, so be prepared! >:3
That is all from me~! *Runs off*
-
Yeah Genesis is pretty BA
I may hug you but I'll ask first ;D
-
I think it would be pretty epic if Genesis broke out into Gackt songs - with a dance routine and backup dancers, and, and... Wouldn't that just be perfect? xDDD
WARNING: GACKT FANGIRL ALERT (I'm not a crazy fan, but I have my moments x3)
-
I think it would be pretty funny as well. It would be a youtube hit XD
-
If my hair was shorter (either his length, or short enough to fit under a short wig), I would TOTALLY do it - since I know too many Gackt songs. I think that Genesis singing Arittake no ai de would be awesome, since it's such a cute, happy song. xDD
-
After CC came out, people kept IMing me and saying "PLAYED FFCC YET? COSPLAY MY GENESIS PLEASE." My hair definitely resembles his, that's for sure. My facial features kind of do, too, I suppose. But Genesis would be a b*tch of a Cosplay, considering I'm not a sewer.
-
you could always buy it ;D
-
That would require a lot of money. The only decent one I've seen is around 300$. I haven't had 300$ lying around in a LONG time. x.x;
-
yeah I guess that is true =/
-
This place has a pretty good Genesis cosplay, and it's not terribly expensive!

-
That'd be really cool if you chose Cait Sith (because I too love that character, and I am sooooooo done with the massive Turk groups that show up everywhere...*grumblegrumble*)
I know, right? Plus, I can remember how competitive the other Reno cosplayers got back in '06. It was so lame. They'd be all, "Well, I smoke for REAL so I'm a better Reno" or "I'm going to break your weapon because only I can be Reno."
So annoying =__= (and yes, those aren't made up examples...)
I just went as Reno because it wasn't my choice for the group decision that year.
Now that they want to come back to FF7, I've decided I'm going with Cait Sith. We'll see what goes down. Since one of them is going to Japan, it's almost a free-for-all kind of thing this year. Decisions, decisions >,<
-
Yeah, it's pretty lame that some people acted like that in groups and with cosplaying. That's the negative impression I usually get from Turk cosplay groups, they all have been pretty domineering and rude (not every person in the groups, of course, I'm not singling people out, I just mean the groups as a conglomerate presence).
But anyway, good luck with your Cait Sith cosplay! If you need any help with props or something, just let me know.
We can get photos of Barret and Cait Sith fighting Bahamut-Shin, lol.
-
I'm going to see if I can get Devin to go as CC Tifa ;D
I hope that you go as Cait Sith as well

Aw, thanks!
That would be EPIC. *o*
-
god I keep going back and forth over which version of Cloud to do >_>
There never is too many CC clouds, but AC cloud is more recognizable and I could be part of a group that way >_>
any thoughts?
alright scratch that. To save money I am going to go as Advent Children Cloud. So Marie I wouldn't mind trying your costume on to make sure it fits properly, if it is too long I can always alter it a little. But how much would you want for the wig and costume?
-
Ahh.. I have no idea. XD I'm sure we could agree on a price. I bought the costume for 100$, and the wig for 50$. I'll let you try the costume on first, and the wig I forgot to take pictures of. DX I'll remember to do that.
-
Yeah that is fine with me. Maybe next weekend we can hang out ;D
-
I'm not doing much then. I have to go see my sister and her newborn baby, as well as my dad on Saturday. But we could hang out Friday or Sunday or something!
-
that is fine with me. I have to work Friday from 5-9 and Sunday I don't work at all so either can work. If we hang out Sunday Devin might be able to come along >_>
Devin says she should be able to on Sunday ;D and she says HI!
-
I've always wanted to do a Vincent cosplay..but it is super over done so I think if I ever cosplayed from FF7 it would be one of the Shinra soldiers. These guys: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/Trumby/shinra.jpg
-
yay for FF7
I'm totally up for this ^^ as tifa of course.
-
or aerith, depends on the day and the weather XD
-
We would love to have some soldiers ;D
And I would love to have you comes as Tifa or Aerith. I know Devin is planning on going as Tifa now instead of Vincent >_>
-

That'd be awesome! I'd love to see a Shinra soldier! It'd make for such great photoshoot scenarios, haha. Barret vs. Shinra!
Oh, and this brings up one thing I have thought of that I really would like to do someday. I want to get an Avalanche Cosplay Group. I, of course, would be Barret, but I think it'd be super epic if we could actually get all the members of Avalanche from VII (not including the additional ones from other games). Biggs, Wedge, Jess, Tifa, Cloud, Barret. It would bring an ear-to-ear grin on this Barret's face, haha.
-
Yeah that would be pretty sweet ;D
but after this next costume I am taking a break from them. I will wear the ones I have but I will not make or buy anymore for a while x.x
-
well two tifas are better than one XD we can kick some serious butt.
and it also depends on how well my aerith dress fits me X_X I got it when I was like... REALLY skinny....
-

I can understand that. That will be my plan probably after this year. I won't be able to do Azul again next year because we will still be in this hotel with narrow passageways (And the cannon won't fit), so I may just stick with the costumes I have as of Kumoricon 2009
-
well two tifas are better than one XD we can kick some serious butt.
and it also depends on how well my aerith dress fits me X_X I got it when I was like... REALLY skinny....
two Tifa's would be nice. I could be like pimp Cloud XD
-
I could get my Tifa in on this, and then you'd be SANTA CLOUD!!! (*inside joke*)
-
Marie I sent you a text message but I will also ask you on here. Does the Cloud costume you have come with the gloves? If it doesn't it is no big deal but I know the one Devin had before didn't >_>
-
haha pimp cloud XD, though if there are gonna be that many tifas I might as well just be aerith (if I fit in the dress) for this. XD The contact lenses I got for tifa arent the right perscription anymore anyways.
-
Just for the fun of it, here's some shots of Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie from FFVII, if anyone wants to hop on the Avalanche bandwagon with me, heh.
Biggs and Wedge:

yeah it might not be a bad idea to try it on >_>
also I sent you a message Black Rose
and Eve, so far our group is Cloud, a bunch of Tifa's and Barret XD So we are already on our way :P
-
okay, if the dress doesnt fit I can just let it out or wear the corset that I wore to the swing dance (I've lost weight since then though so it should fit ^^)
-
maybe i could do jessie if there's gonna be an avalanche group ^.^
-
Well I mean so far there seems like there could be.....it would be Advent Children Version though XD
okay, if the dress doesnt fit I can just let it out or wear the corset that I wore to the swing dance (I've lost weight since then though so it should fit ^^)
yeah that would always work. We are in need of an Aerith ^_^
-
If I have enough time I plan of getting a FFAC Yuffie cosplay done... But that one is still a bog maybe
-
maybe i could do jessie if there's gonna be an avalanche group ^.^
That'd be awesome, and you could totally pull it off too. That's a character made for you, and looks like you'd actually be able to be pretty comfy, too, heh.
Yeah, I definitely want to get an Avalanche group going now. I'm not sure if I would want to do original VII version Barret, or do my AC Barret again, though, if we do get an Avalanche group together.
-
alright aerith it is ^^ I just made a video for her and zack so I'm in favor of her right now lol
-

I would go for AC since most of us are going to be in AC costumes XD
-
Yeah, I've decided the Avalanche thing I am going to put off until 2010, because I won't have time to work on it this year. I'm going to just do simple AC Barret for Kumoricon this year, but next year I am going to do original Barret, because that is how he was when in Avalanche, and it wouldn't make much sense to have an AC Barret with his original '97 crew.
So yeah, AC Barret is in with y'all for this year.
-
I might be able to pull together a regular Cloud by then :P
though I wouldn't have the right sword >_>
-
Maybe you'll be able to find it or make it by then. It would just be a simpler version, not too hard to find for cheap.
-
yeah that is true....but I am not going to spend any more money on costumes after this one......so.....yeah ;D
-
Yeah, well no worries, heh. Avalanche existed before Cloud, so it's okay, lol.
-
yeah that is true XD
-
i wanna be a part of the ac group... just not sure who i'd cosplay as... *ponders*
-
hmm....yeah that is a hard one >_>
I've always wanted to see a humanized Red XIII kinda like this one

-
^hrm, that could be cool. it would have to be done really well though for me to like it, lol, i'm picky o.O
-
yeah I am the same way :P
Cloud is gonna have to be perfect for me to be satisfied x.x
-
i wanna be a part of the ac group... just not sure who i'd cosplay as... *ponders*
Hmm, you could do Aeris, you could do Tifa...I'll keep thinking. You may have to AC-ize a character from VII or something, lol.
-
that would be pretty cool too....there is always a turk :P
-
that would be pretty cool too....there is always a turk :P
i'd want to do a turk, but they are so over done.... plus, i'd feel like i was copping out cause they're just so easy to do, lol. and i wouldn't wanna be lumped in with that huge turk group >.<
i'd love to do aeris, but i don't wanna impose on anyone already cosplaying her... i will have to think harder about who to cosplay *poses like the thinker and ponders* lol
-
yeah I know what you mean. I didn't want to impose on other people for a while but then I realized that there is going to be at least one duplicate so it didn't really matter. We were talking for a little bit of having three or four Tifa's XD
-
lol that is a lot of tifa's... o.O i suppose it would be ok to have two aeris', i mean, if that's ok with the other aeris that i do her too ^.^ cause that would be choice number one for me. then i could do that for the distant worlds orchestra thing and for k-con and not have to do another new cosplay for this year, saves me some time and money, both of which i need, lol.
-
I say go with it, and really, I don't think most people are as conscientious about other people's cosplays as you are. In fact, I'm sure nobody cares as much as you do that someone else is cosplaying the same character. You're too courteous, Kahlan! lol
-
yeah I say go for it. Don't really worry too much about cosplaying a character someone else is doing. It's going to happen. A lot of people don't care either, some actually like having doubles XD
-
Yeah, that's when you get to have those really weird CloudxCloud pictures! >D
-
Oh boy >_>;
I may end up taking a lot of pictures with my Tifa though ;D
-
I dunno if I want to do aerith .... the dress isnt that good cuz it was my first cosplay ever... hmm... I kinda would rather try something else...
see this is my Aerith... not that good...

As Opposed to my tifa wich is good and I can still wear the color contacts I have.

Or I could try to do yuffie

(which I would need to Finnish making)
-
I would say Yuffie or Tifa. You Areis is nice as well so it is really up to you. I like your Tifa though ;D I can have two of them...I am ok with that XD
-
well I like the tifa one the best ^^ so I'll be tifa I guess lol plus I'm quite sure I fit in that one XD
-
YAY I can have two Tifa's XD
I can walk around with one on each arm XD
I believe Devin is only going to be Advent Children Tifa for one day, she is also going to try to cosplay normal Tifa and Crisis Core Tifa....maybe some time in the future I can do the same with Cloud :P
-
I am only planning on doing tifa for one day as well (mabey not even that long, it depends)
I've got the two organization cosplays now and possibly an ouran cosplay.
-
wow that is quite a bit. If you can great but if you can't no big deal ^_^
-
I can lol I planned cosplaying tifa at least once so its all good ^^ I'm just not gonna cosplay her for more than one day lol
-
thats fine with me ;D
I would say you should be here whenever the photo shoot is ;D
-
yup thats what I was planning on ^^
-
Alright by me...does anyone know if they have started talking about the final fantasy photo shoot in the other thread?
-
I don't think so. I didn't even know there was a Photo Shoot thread yet. Seems kind of early, because I know there isn't a schedule made up yet.
-
true....but they schedule photo shoots before the schedule comes out :P
-
Yeah, that's true. I've never seen it happen this early, but doesn't mean it couldn't happen.
-
yeah it doesn't really matter >_> I rather plan events around a photo shoot than a photo shoot around events x.x
-
Yeah, the same for me. Photoshoots are the really important thing that I want to be sure not to miss, so if possible, it'd be nice to plan things around the shoot and not vice versa. So, yeah, let's hope we can work something out to that effect.
-
yeah...we can wait till about June though >_> ;D
-
yay for photo shoots ^.^ now there's the matter of do we do a specific one for ffvii separate from the regular ff shoot, or do it with the regular one... since both eve and i will have two ff related costumes, might be hard for us to choose between them which to wear to the shoot >.> but that also can wait till later, lol. i'm just excited to know there will actually be more ff cosplayers this year based on this thread >.O
-
well the ff 7 part of the ff photo shoot is the biggest part....so we might be able to split it up. I kinda like that idea >_> maybe do the FF7 shoot Saturday and the FF shoot Sunday?
-
yeah, that sounds like a good plan to me ^.^ hopefully that will be possible and ok with everyone else
-
also it looks like Black Rose is going to go as Tifa so as of this moment you are the only one contemplating going as Aeris ;D
-
yup ^^ its true, and I wouldn't have cared if you were Aerith at the same time I was either ^^ (but I like tifa more lol)
-
well yay for that >.O lol
now i've gotta think of how best to make her ultimate weapon >.> i've got some time though, hehe
-
yeah you got plenty of time. I still can't wait to see it though ;D
-
^.^ can't wait to see your cloud too. if you need any help with the sword, i'm sure eve and i can try to help, though he is better with props than i am, lol.
-
sweet aerith with weapons, I cant wait to see it ^^
-
I am sadly going to be buying the sword, but it is going to look amazing ;D
Well actually the only thing I may have problems with will be the wig, and I plan on attempting that by myself....may get some help latter on though XD

yay for an epic staff ^.^ i'm excited, usually only see aeris cosplayers with flower baskets... which i'll also have, to hold all my stuff >.O hehe
and good luck with the wig, goodness knows i had a hard time trying to help with rodney's last year >.< the wigs you've styled so far have looked great, so i'm sure you'll be able to do this one and make it look fantastic ^.^

yush I'm worried about styling a wig for marluxia 0.0

yeah I think I have seen one Aeris with a staff....I'm sure your stuff will look fantastic ;D
-
thanks ^.^ hehe
i'm excited for the photo shoot- actually get to be in one with a bunch of other people cosplaying from the same thing, lol. meaning there will be lots of opportunities for a ton of different poses and situations to photograph, yay!
any ideas so far on some cool poses or action shots yet?
-
not yet for Cloud. Albel is a little closer so I have been working on some for him >_>
I need to work on normal....non action shots as well XD
but we will have to plan out some gorgeous ones ;D
-
Alright this is the list I have so far. If I missed someone let me know.
Cloud: Nikkiolie
Barret: Eve
Aeris: Kahlan
Tifa: Black Rose, Devin
-
Hm.
This might be interesting.
:/ I have FF VII Reno, though. Not AC.
-
@ syd ~ eh, it will still work, its not a huge difference between the two.
-
Yeah, it's pretty similar and nobody is going to point out the differences.
So, just to unite things, this Final Fantasy cosplay group will be meeting at the Final Fantasy Photo shoot which will also be featuring the Final Fantasy Mock-Battle, yes? So much going on, lol
-
yeah this isn't a ff7 AC group it is all of ff7 including Dirge and CC hell and even Before Crisis :P
-
Yeah, that's what I figured. Allows even more awesome group cosplays. ^_^
-
I would love to get a whole group together where all the main characters from all the games. I think it would be sweet to get the majority of the forum to participate XD
-
Yeah, that would be mightily epic. Heck, with that idea you could do some portion of a Dissidia photoshoot. Cloud, Squall, Tidus...and so on.
-
yeah that would be cool. Kumoricon is too far away.
-
True, but at the same time, I am glad for the time we still have. I need it to get things to a perfect condition.
-
yeah that is nice. I may touch up the wig again. I'll get some pictures taken again and see how it looks.
-
Damn, you guys... if this had been NEXT YEAR... XD
I might have to put off doing KOS-MOS next year because of the extent I want to do that cosplay, so next year I was going to be Jenova if I couldn't get KOS-MOS done in time... T.T I would have done it this year, but I want to do wedding Yuna more.
-
I can promise you there will be a FFVII group next year also. There is one every year (I make sure of that, heh). And that's cool that you're doing Yuna this year.
But yeah, if you do end up doing Jenova next year....you'll be so amazing! I hope to see it. ^_^
-
Yeah I will probably cosplay Cloud again next year :P
-
I'm always gonna be tifa at least once a year ^^ probably for the photo shoots
-
So there will be plenty of ffVII cosplayers next year :P
-
Yup, Barret is my base cosplay. Even if everything else doesn't work out, I will always bring Barret with me to cosplay as.
-
That's like me with Garnet. The first decent cosplay I've everm ade. XD By the way,,, it still needs to be fixed... and cleaned.... and the zipper needs to be fixed.... and *goes of on a tangent* ANYWAY...
It was either going to be Jenova in the tube (World's biggest wig, XD) or without... which is better?
Hm... Lucretia would be a good cosplay, too. MISCELLANEOUS FF FEMALES UNITE!
-
I was planning to do a lucrecia cosplay someday ^^ simply cuz I love vincent lol
-
Count me in for this
I'm going to wear Red XIII as much as possible since I don't know how long I'll be able to pull it off, heh.
-
are you doing the humanized version or the four legged version?
-
are you doing the humanized version or the four legged version?
Humanized, scantily clad humanized, I hope that's ok. :P
-
no that is fine. I think I rather see the humanized version than the four legged one >_>;
-
four legged red 13 would be really hard 0.o lol it would be funny to dress a dog up like him though XD
-
That would be funny.
It's funy that I made Red XIII because my friends wanted me to and now, the people I'm going with to Sakuracon want to do FFX since Devin might not be able to go and she was the driving force behind FFVII
Sorry, I just thought it was kinda funny.
-
>_> Do you know the same Devin I know? She is going to sakuracon as Vincent last I heard ;D
-
lol YAY vincent!!!!
I know one of my friends is cosplaying cait sith, maybe I can get them to join this ^^
-
lol YAY vincent!!!!
I know one of my friends is cosplaying cait sith, maybe I can get them to join this ^^
Is this Makichan or someone else? We may have two Cait Siths...no way! That's crazy awesome! Or wait...is this for SakuraCon?
>_> Do you know the same Devin I know? She is going to sakuracon as Vincent last I heard ;D
Is this the Devin I know? That's super cool that she's doing Vincent. I can actually see that working great for her, she's got a lot of similarities physically already. ^_^
-
no her names roshi lol she's going to sakura con I think but I'm for sure not going to sakura con V_V
-
Ah, gotcha. Well this is awesome then. Can't wait for Kumoricon, heh, but sorry you aren't going to SakuraCon. Just make Kumoricon all that much more crazy fun!
-
yush ^^
-
Devin is cosplay Vincent for Sakuracon and Tifa for Kumoricon
-
>_> Do you know the same Devin I know? She is going to sakuracon as Vincent last I heard ;D
Well, I've been told she might not got because of grades and I heard that a few days ago.
I think we know the same Devin, Tifa in the Kumoricon Cosplay chess?
-
XD yeah that is her :P She goes to Tigard....funny...she hasn't told me anything of this >_>
-
XD yeah that is her :P She goes to Tigard....funny...she hasn't told me anything of this >_>
well it was news to me, and I go to school with her, at least I did before I got sick, heh.
I hope she can still make it though.
-
I hope so too...but if she can't then that means there will be one less person in our hotel room ^_^
-
yeah there is a ff7 costume and a ff7 AC costume.
-
which one are you doing? XD JK yeah you are no matter what version. It is the ff7 group after all....including all game/movies related to 7 ;D
-
Of course you're still welcome! You're doing AC Yuffie, right? Well I'm doing AC Barret, so if anyone did show up and have a problem with you, they'd have to go through me. ^_^
But yes, this is game Yuffie:

So yeah, they are pretty different, but both are amazing and you will be an awesome Yuffie no matter which version you do. :)
-
Don't worry about it Dana. The majority of people in this group are doing AC costumes. Even if you weren't you would still be accepted ;D
-
Yeah, you're definitely going to be well-received, Dana. ^_^
Even if you cosplayed as Dirge of Cerberus Yuffie!

NINJA POWAH. >:O
*Cough*
Yeah, I'm doing AC Yuffie. 8D
Don't worry about it Dana. The majority of people in this group are doing AC costumes. Even if you weren't you would still be accepted ;D
Oh, then that's good. xD
And uh.
I can't exactly tell if Yuffie's AC jacket is black/grey/forest green. ~_~
It looks green somewhat, but if you look closer, it just looks like a normal black O_o;
i think it's really dark grey, like almost black. the figure i have looks like that too, and the figures are always really close, if not exactly like the game/movie
-
Yeah I'd always thought it was just a really dark grey color
-
I say dark gray as well. ;D
-
Then it's unanimously decided that her jacket is dark gray. xD
-
So I would go with that :P
-
Yep, looks dark gray to me.
-
yup dark grey lol
-
Hey!! It's Tifa from the cosplay picnic, I'm just letting you all know that I will be at Sakura con as AC Tifa again. (and if it gets done on time Gay!Squall, but that's 8 not 7. Haha) I'm excited!! I can't wait to see you guys
-
Hey good to see you again. I should probably make a list of all the people :P
Alright I went through and read the posts and put a list together
Cloud: Nikkiolie
Barret: Eve
Aerith: Kahlan4
Tifa: Black~Rose, Ryanne_Monday, Evil-Bunny-of-Doom
Yuffie: Dana, LtCommanderRichie (?)
Red XIII: AriaxKitsune
Genesis: Fudgie MD
Reno: Syd (FFVII)
we still need Vincent, Cid, Ruffus, Turks, Avalanche, Zack (not sure if LtCommanderRichie was still planing on cosplay him or not), and Angeal.
-
wow lol 3 tifas XD and only one aerith 0.0 last year I saw more aeriths than tifas lol
-
I'm sure there is going to be a bunch of Aeriths but they might not have accounts here XD
-
lol true
-
Ah... I'd love to hop in, but I'm planning on being Yuffie from Dirge of Cerberus. Hoodie poncho thing and all!
But it looks like someone's already doing that too! Hehe.
-
You should still do it! I'd love to see you cosplay as DoC Yuffie, haha, you'll look awesome!
-
I plan to! Is there a scheduled photoshoot already planned? I guess it's a little early... Either way, I don't plan on missing it!
OH! I almost forgot. My cosplay partner will be Cait Sith, so there's another to add into the FF mix!
-
I don't think anyone is planing DoC Yuffie >_> or if there is I missed it ^_^;
-
Ah, well, I guess we'll found out eventually, right? ^^;
-
We are definitely planning to have a FF Photo Shoot, not sure when yet, though.
Also, we will be doing a FF Mock Battle at some point during Kumoricon, also, so you should come to that too!
-
I would say Sunday or Saturday for the shoot >_> whatever day it is on we can have the KH shoot the other day :P
-
Alright we can go with that?
FF shoot Saturday and KH shoot Sunday? Any objections?
-
I have no objections. It's hard to have scheduling conflicts when the schedule isn't made yet, lol.
-
Yeah that is what I was thinking. I still feel like it is a little early to be planing for photo shoots >_>
but I know that I am going to be wearing Cloud Saturday for Line Entertainment ;D
-
Then I'll remember to wear Yuffie on Saturday then! :D So exciting... And you'll have to remind me or something about the mock battle. That just sounds fantastic!
-
I'm sure as it gets closer someone will make the official photo shoot thread and we will get the time down there ^_^
-
Update on our FF characters! I've got a friend attending Kumoricon as Elena of the Turks!
Do we have any Turks signed up? I'm sure we do..
-
There are a couple people who I know will be doing Turks for sure. One Reno and one Katana Turk (from Before Crisis). Turks always show up in droves, so no worries there, lol.
I'm just so stoked to have you part of our group!
-
Yeah they do >_>
I believe the Rude from last year will be there again >_> ;D
-
As always, you have me and my bro as Jenova and Sephiroth. Someone has got to be a villian around here!
-
Most likely. Can't imagine a year without Rude/Kratos.
-
I know. He is so great ^_^ Very intimidating but really really nice ;D
-
Perfect! This is gonna be awesome!
Can't have FF without the badass villains!
-
so eve and i were thinking it would be great if everyone did their regular weapons, and also brought along the joke weapons ^.^ we thought it'd be easy and fun, so here's a list of everyone's:
cloud- nail bat
tifa- work gloves (gardening gloves would work)
aeris- umbrella
barret- rocket punch (looks like boxing glove)
yuffie- super ball (like a super bouncy ball)
cid- mop
vincent- silver rifle (looks like small green squirt gun)
red xiii- hairpin
cait sith- trumpet shell (hard to tell, looks kind of like a brown bottle)
it would make for a few fun/funny photos if anyone is interested >.O
-
nail bat? Like a bat with a nail sticking out of it?
-
@dana- it's not huge, but not tiny... able to fit in your hand size, lol. it actually looks kinda like a tennis ball o.O
http://cardcaptorstacey.co.uk/yuffie/weapons/s_superball.jpg (http://cardcaptorstacey.co.uk/yuffie/weapons/s_superball.jpg)
@nikki- yeah, a bat with nails, hehe
-
Hmmmmm what could a joke weapon be for tifa?
-
Hmmmmm what could a joke weapon be for tifa?
tifa- work gloves (gardening gloves would work)
-
Would you also consider Yuffie's Pinwheel to be a joke weapon too?
I mean.. c'mon. A pinwheel? :D
-
The Pinwheel is not a pinwheel by modern standards, it's not the toy that spins in the wind, lol. It's like a massive shuriken. So, no, I wouldn't consider that a joke weapon. ;D
-
Hmmmmm what could a joke weapon be for tifa?
tifa- work gloves (gardening gloves would work)
yes but thats hardly a joke, she has gloves anyways
-
it would be funny to have tifa with big, bulky boxing gloves XD I have some karate glove thingy's that could work.
but that would be too simalar to barrets hmmm. All the other joke weapons I can think of are slightly in-the-gutter kind of humor.
Beer bottle? Fan-boys-be-gone mace? XD
for aerith I think it would be funny to have a huge flower as a weapon XD Like that thing in super smash bros, but thats just an idea lol
-
I like the flower....O.O OR a cutip because it looks similar to the rod XD
-
XD anything flower related would be funny
-
well the point of the joke weapons was that they didn't have any materia slots or very good stats, so they were just kind of funny. not that it was easy to see what they all were, i mean the most visible ones were cloud's and aeris' because of the quality of games at the time, but that was the same with all the other weapons that weren't jokes. anyway, it was just an idea, but if we did joke weapons, i think it would be best to do the ones from the game, otherwise it wouldn't really make sense, but maybe that's just me o.O
work gloves for tifa could work really well if you got those really girly frilly gardening gloves or something.
-
I see....makes sense. Not sure if I will have time to make it or if mine would be con safe >_>;
-
ah, well I dont have any frilly gardening gloves lol I could ask though.
-
lol, can't be obvious enough sometimes. IT seemed like there was a misunderstanding of the concept of "Joke Weapons.
Simply put, every character in FFVII had one weapon that was good for nothing, and they (for the most part) looked like a big joke. This is what we were talking about. Kahlan wasn't making up the idea, she was referencing these Joke Weapons from the game. So, suggesting something else for the position of "Joke Weapon", as mentioned, just wouldn't make much sense within the concept when you understand that these are already weapons in the game.
Anyway, I think it would just be a fun thing to do. The Joke Weapons are all very simple and fun, they are made for not being difficult. I'll definitely be doing Barret's Rocket Punch, and if anyone else does, that will be fun, but whatever, lol. Planning things gets unnecessarily complicated too often here.
-
I would love to do it though I must stress again that I wouldn't be allowed in the con with a bat and nails sticking out of it.
-
haha, yeah, might cause an issue. I could probably work on making up some (obviously fake) nailbat for you, if you would like.
Either way, I'm still excited for this group, no matter what kind of weapons are there, haha.
-
I guess I could do it myself. I will start in the summer then.
-
I think this weekend I will start work on Barret Gun 2.0. Yay for beginning, haha. (I know, I'm like months behind the lot of you. ^_^)
-
I need to work my butt off so I can pay for my sword >_<
-
Push come to shove, ya'll can try to get together at like a private photo shoot with the joke weapons and just have at it away from the rules of the con, and then just go back and be all 'peace and love' to everyone. Haha
-
Yeah we can always use the weapons for the ff shoot. I'm sure that wont be on the hotel property.
-
...Yuffie's is a bouncy ball...?
Ooooooh Dana, you better stay away from me with that ball or you'll never get it back!! XD
-
The bouncy ball looks a lot like materia :P
-
Looks like a tennis ball to me. ^_^ Right size too.
-
Hey I'm going to have some fun Friday of pre-reg http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=10036.new#new
-
The Pinwheel is not a pinwheel by modern standards, it's not the toy that spins in the wind, lol. It's like a massive shuriken. So, no, I wouldn't consider that a joke weapon. ;D
I thought I remember her having a pinwheel that looked like the actual toy... But maybe I'm thinking of something else..
-
Oh boy, a hairpin, gee I wonder where I can get one of those, lol
-
*flies by for a second*
Possibly doing Tifa.
I know, old news. Lots do her. But I've been wanting to cosplay her since I saw the ads for AC. +_+ I will do her even if it means scratching off someone else.
-
lol, awesome, good luck getting your costume together! Can't have too many Tifas. ^_^
-
I'm not really worried about the costume much other than the shoes and the red ribbon actually staying on my arm >>;
*pumped pose* Crunches on a ball and push-ups here I come! And DDR for legs ? XD; I dunno. I need tips on how to get my arms into shape anyway. They've gotten weak since coming to college a few months ago.
I think the only thing that's deterred me from being Tifa all these years is a huge birthmark on the front of my calf that people think's a stupid bruise >>; It's not purple, geeze. It's just, a good 4''x2'' big.....
-
I need to keep up with my arm exercises >_> I'm going to the gym today so I will try to do them afterwords.
-
Yeah, I got off the wagon for a while, now I'm trying to get back into the routine. I just got a new tat though, so it might hinder me for a few more days, heh.
But yeah, I need to focus on my gut big time, gotten bad. Arms are doing okay, though, lol.
-
i need to get back in the gym routine too... >.< stupid love of sweets and lack of will power... lol
-
you and me are like twins. I love sweets and I have no will power XD
-
I have willpower if I have the time and stuff to do it with. Like if I had the hand weights I'd use them, but I don't T-T My aid is a DDR pad in my dorm room and a soccer ball xD
-
yeah.. I have will power.. but I love sweets and I've been going through a bit of a rough patch so I've been doing a little bit of stress eating.
-
I have zero will power, but lucky for me we never have any good food to eat, and I don't have the money for snacks. So usually I starve until dinner. XD I made the habit of eating a bowl of rice with water after I get off school since I'm so hungry because I don't eat lunch... which I guess is a good thing.
-
I should probably be eating more myself... I'm more or less out of the pasta thing right now, and I have no pizzas or cereals left T-T I might have to give in and start going to the cafeteria for food more often in the next few weeks. But all I eat from there is some kind of pasta or roll and pizza and a swig of soda -_- Their soda doesn't taste too sharp...
When I get home though I can start walking to the beach and junk, and I can probably bug one of my friends if they have weights.
Sides Inc, you're thin enough. You just need a cardeo-vascular workout and food in you.
-
Alright lets try to stay on topic here?
How are the costumes coming along? I just ordered Cloud's sword bag ;D
-
I just finished making my shuriken for my Yuffie (DoC) cosplay. I'm so proud of myself! Next, I'll have to work on my other props and sew on some secret pockets into my costumes...
What about everyone else?
-
I still need to fix a few things on my Cloud wig. I already cut one piece shorter but everything else is done. Just need to fix the wig, get the sword and the sword bag ;D
-
I ordered Tifa's costume the other day. *thinks*
Oh yeah, I need to either find somewhat good shoes for her, or attack my leather sneakers that don't quite look right with white paint or something x_x Painting leather.. ha... I'll have to see if I can find some good shoes on amazon or something, cause the Tifa shoes for sale on eBay are like 60$ @.@
And cut my hair. Which'll be annoying cause I can't see behind my head to do it right on the sides >> So I might just put that off for a few months and do it in August.
-
I want to see about doing original FF7 Tifa, with the cowboy (I just had a retard moment with that word. XD) and everything, but I don't know if I'll have the time for k con this year...We'll have to see once I get an income source. =/
-
I think that Tifa is Crisis Core version. I mean there is a glimps of her in that outfit during FFVII but it was from a flashback that takes place during CC.
Crisis Core Tifa (http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-05/art/cc-tifa-lockheart.jpg)

-
Nikki, your pic to CC Tifa keeps going to Creative Uncut's main page. I guess they dislike direct linking... >>;
Crisis Core Tifa (http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-05/cc-tifa-lockheart.html)
*chuckling* I found a way to get my keyblade on my back... I won't have to carry the thing at the con XD It's just that means I wouldn't be able to really pose with it without spending 5 min to untie it >>;
-
Do we have an idea when we want to have the photo shoot?
-
Oh, yeah then no cowboy hat... XD But I do get suspenders! 8D
As for the photoshoot thing... I haven't a clue just yet. I just recently found out (thanks to Veraca) that it's going to be Saturday Sunday Monday this year...XD
-
Yeah Saturday would be the best for me too >_>
then again there isn't a whole long scheduled yet so there shouldn't be any conflicts.
-
For me, it all depends on what else ends up being scheduled when.
-
yeah It depends on the K-con schedule.
-
Well what would you go to? I am not much of an event person myself. What events would you go to instead of the photo shoot?
-
I wouldn't go to any instead of the photo shoot, but at the same time I'd prefer not to have to compromise. There aren't any yearly events I plan to attend, like the Cosplay Contest or AMV or anything like that. I just like to partake in panels and things, but of course whenever the Shoot ends up getting scheduled, I'll go to it, there's no doubt about that. I just like to know my options first. And since the schedule has always been posted weeks in advance, even tentatively, I figure there's no need to commit to a certain day and time so early on. That's what I was thinking anyway.
-
I'm actually somewhat committed to events.
Ranger panel, maybe if we can have it the Risemball game, cosplay contest, maybe opening ceremonies and we're going to try to go to the masqurade. @.@ But other than that, I'm pretty free. I can probably ditch my two friends to go to a photoshoot that they don't want to go to xD (Oh and supposedly they're going to an autograph session of someone..) Oh and if the Rangers have more than one/two meetings, I'll have to attend them for at least a bit cause I'm a main organizer of them X_x;
Which we haven't even gotten the times yet... so this'll be fuuuun /sarcasm
BTW - my friend wants to cosplay Turk perhaps, and when she was sifting through pics she found a long blond female Turk and wants to know her name. It's not Elena from the AC movie, it's someone else x.X
-
no I'm just saying, often the schedual will tell you when photoshoots are ^^;;
I will probably be lucrecia after the FF photoshoot and before it I will be mello
-
The time is not set in stone, it can always be changed. I was just trying to get one of the bigger shoots scheduled so some people will have some say in the minor ones scheduling around them. For example, lets take Nikki, she is going to be cosplaying the white mage and a pokemon. And they have been talking about having that shoot the same day. Now that she knows that the FF will be early afternoon she can either try to convince the others to have the pokemon shoot in the morning or in the evening. See how that works?
I am just trying to be a little organized but it really doesn't seem to be appreciated. So maybe I stop and let everyone else figure things out. To me anyways the whole day will be a photo shoot so I don't really care what everyone else does.
-
Basically my point is there's little need in forcing organization. I understand shoots are your main reason for attending, and I don't plan to miss the FF shoot either, but I am just saying how in past years nobody has really even tried to make a shoot schedule until there is at least a tentative schedule provided. Since there are many people who enjoy shoots in addition to events interested in the FF shoot, it just seems like it would be better to wait until there is a tentative schedule provided.
But this is your thing, I know you like running events and planning things, so I'll certainly attend whenever it ends up being. I was just explaining my reasoning.
Basically, I don't see why everyone is trying to schedule shoots this early anyway. But whatev, lol
-
I agree with both of you... Forcing organization early when a good portion of people are concerned about the rest of the events, too. I guess it makes sense to try and organize the big shoots first so the other shoots can plan as well. It's just when big shoots collide with the main events (ia sakuracon) it's upsetting for people to have to decide between two things they really want to go to *shrug* Least that's my take on it, (and even I think my opinion's trash).
-
Alright that is fine, remember we can always change the time. I was looking at the shoot schedule for last year and Tom made it in January so this is much latter than he did.
-
Same. I am not going to be very busy, though I will want it a little latter for the line entertainment thing.
-
Yeah, as long as it's saturday, I don't care about time. The only event that I really go to is cosplay chess and that's never on saturday.
-
Same, I am going to try to be in it again ;D
-
Yay, I hope you are. I'm entering me as Chii and my girlfriend as Freya, I hope we get in.
-
Not sure what costume to enter though, I could do all of them :3
-
I want to do cosplay chess this time around too, and since I should have Marly, nikki you and me should go as Mar Mar and Lar Lar!! that would be an epic battle of the bitches. XD
"Gay lord."
"Miss Priss."
"Oh, real original Mr. Lather, Rinse and Repeat."
"Wow, and I thought nothing stupider could come out of your mouth."
XD They'd be so mean to each other, but in the most loving way possible. Because there's no "I hate your guts" in team! *shot'd*
-
Yeah that would be amazing. I would love to, but it is up to those in charge.
-
We'll have to wear them down to it. haha
-
Yeah that would be great. But these choose characters based on popularity and what not. I don't think I will enter Cloud >_> I may only enter Larxene :P
But back on subject XD
-
Right. Getting back on track reminds me that I need to get around to fixing my Tifa's white shirt and vest. The person we got it from made them WAY too big for her...
-
it is easy to fix things that are too big.
-
Yeah I'm just really lazy.
-
Yeah I need to do the same to Temari.
-
Since there's beginning to be organization of the photoshoots and stuff, have we ever mentioned or decided on a time for the FF7 group? It'd be a headache to try and have all the FF in one shoot I think @.@
-
I think we were talking about Saturday some time.
-
Hmmm if it's Saturday, it's not to easy to plan since the schedule isn't out... *shrug*
We could shoot for 10am maybe?
-
Well it could be any time. I wouldn't want it too early because Saturday is the first day and if it is at 10am a lot of people who would normally be in the shoot might be waiting in line to get their badge.
-
Oh yeah, very true. And some waiting for your badge might take until at least 1pm in some cases.. hmm... @.@
-
Yeah so it should be a little latter, plus I will be busy till about noon. I know that for sure.
-
I'm supposedly busy at 4 for our group meeting, but it's not set in stone until the schedule's out xD;
-
I'm doing the line entertainment for the morning so what about 1 or 2?
-
Either time should work.. I don't see why it wouldn't really unless it's a dang contest during then. Or, in my case, if our panel's ok-ed @.@;
We should try to shoot for 1pm?
-
Fine by me. ^_^ We can always change it after the schedule comes out.
-
*nod* This is true.
>>; So in the middle of packing my costumes, I noticed that I had two tanks for Tifa's white shirt >>; One fits tightly- like almost a compression shirt and the other one's looser, but longer @.@ I'm gonna have to try them both on once I get home and see which one I like better. The tighter one looks more accurate in terms of texture, but ehhh I dunno if it'd even matter come con-time. That, and I really need to practice walking with her shorts on, since I forshadow myself falling on my face from the skirt xD; "Hey it's Tifa!" *WACK!* "oO; Not a very graceful Tifa..."
-
@ vereca ~ I have done that SOOO many times >.< XD
-
>.o I'm sorry you guys can't experience this lovely weather we have having how. A Thunderstorm passed right over us and it decided to start pouring when I had to walk home.
-
Sounds like lovely weather *cringes from the thought of thunder* I came home drenched even though it's really sunny since, it being the seniors last day, I got drenched by water balloons and bottles of water :-\ You remember that tradition don't you Nikki?
-
I wish it'd rain here in Olympia. Not tomorrow or Tuesday though xD I don't really want my stuff wet for a 3hr car ride thank you~
-
Wow, we just got a severe thunder storm warning on the TV...that's new, now I'm scared, I HATE thunder in an: I will hide under the bed hate. Think Haruhi :(
-
awww It scares me a little too >.<
-
Oh yeah, it's been doing the hole thunderstorm thing down here too. They're freaking awesome, I just wish they'd wait until Saturday. (even though it's already been said that we're having graduation outside, we're all still like "Please please please don't raaaain~")
-
Yeah that would sucks if it rained today x.x
-
Ahem. >> I wasn't really sure where to post this, but since this and the mock battle are the only two VII topics, I'll go with this one.
I think I might be bringing Kadaj back for sure this time. The last wig I got for him didn't turn out so well. But I'm planning to buy another wig and bring him back possibly for Kumoricon for a bit.
-
Really? That would be sweet. I haven't seen your Kadaj and I'm sure it will look great.
-
Yeah I'm hoping I'll have enough extra cash to get a wig for him, since that's the only thing I'm really missing out of the Cosplay.
-
SWEET!!! A kadaj!! YAY! Gordon was gonna do it but he cant really afford to do it this year TT_TT I'll make him do it some day and make him wear a wig <.< hes pretty against wigs since he doesn't want to mess up his coveted hair XD such a girl. Anyways, Your kadaj is awesome! Having a sephiroth and a kadaj will be pretty epic
-
Yeah I'm hoping I'll have enough extra cash to get a wig for him, since that's the only thing I'm really missing out of the Cosplay.
Aren't you supposed to get a lot of money this summer? Have you already made plans for all of it?
-
Yeah I am, I'll probably end up spending some of it on Cosplay, too. But most of it's going into savings.
-
I got close to 200 dollars for Graduation money. :3 I'm happy~!
(Oh, and off topic, I got a little net book and my Product Red iPod nano [finally] so I'm excited!! I'm on my mini laptop right now. lol)
-
I didn't get as much as I wanted for birthday money but that is ok. I can still pay for the rest of my costume stuff with my paychecks.
-
... is there still room to be in this final fantasy group?
-
it doesn't really fill up so of course there is ^_^
-
*wanders around back and forth* ooooh I just can't decide between Yuna and Tifa... I wanna do both but I don't think I'd have any place to store them during the con @.@
-
Well I've got a plan. :3
See, my Tifa and I have been looking at this house in downtown area Portland that we know we'll be able to afford as soon as we find some people who want to move in with us so the rent will be small enough for everybody.
If we manage to get it, you can store stuff there. :3 (and we really hope we can get it... XD it's perfect)
-
That'd be cool Inc ^^ I hope you get that house~
Well, right now it's just up in the air. I don't have a dedication to either really. But it'll depend a lot I think on my hair. It'll be weird to see a Summoner Yuna with hair past her middle back, eh? ^^; I don't think I could swing that and look as "accurate" as I'd like... I dunno @.@ I'll ponder it for a few more weeks lol
-
Well are you doing the original tifa, or AC Tifa? because AC Tifa has shorter hair so it'd be easier to pull off the switch...
-
My sword will be sent out tomorrow so I might be able to get it by Saturday. He also sent me a picture and I am looking forward to getting it

-
that looks really awesome~ how big is it?
-
That looks awsome Nikki~ How big is it, what's it made out of, and how heavy is it? XD; *goes all fan*
Inc: It's AC Tifa and neither one needs a wig, but I'm not gonna trim my hair up for Yuna cause I'm trying to grow it long again. *I just can't decide how I want my hair these days, but not short xD* I could probably stuff one in a bag, since I won't have a prop. Maybe a Chocobo plushie- but that'll go with both of the costumes anyway.
-
I love it, Nikki! Looks awesome, will fit your cosplay well.
-
I asked for about 4 feet tall but it looks like the blade alone is 4 feet. As for the weight he said it shouldn't weigh more than 10 pounds. I'll know more once it gets here ;D
-
That's awesome. :3
-
Yeah I can't wait till I get it, though I have no clue where i am going to store it ^_^;;
-
Buy a cheap sheet or thin cotton curtain, wrap it around and hold it with some form of tape so it doesn't touch the blade, and lean it horizontally against the floor? My keyblades never seem to get dusty or fall, so they just lean against a wall in my room.
-
You could mount it. Make a makeshift rack out of nails sticking out of the wall and voila! heh
-

Yeah I will probably end up doing that. I am thinking about taking it to school with me ;D
-
It works pretty nicely, actually. That's what I did with my Buster Sword replica. Hasn't fallen and Braver'd me yet, lol
-
Oh come on. No materia slots?
-
There isn't any in Advent children >_>
-
By advent children, they have learned how to infuse materia into themselves, instead of putting them into weapons, heh. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
-
FFF, whoa. That...is pretty epic. The paint job is amazing. D8
-
*points at cloud's longest sword in AC* There are materia slots. The longest sword with the like 10 circle holes- that's for materia!!!!
-
Hmmm.....then Cloud must not use any then, lol. It all got stolen by Kadaj.
-
I don't actually think it is for materia. Here is a picture of all the swords http://www.robheller.com/images/blog/cloud_sword.jpg One of them has a lot of holes but they aren't round. And if you notice in the movie the only people who use materia are the bad guys. Cloud has kept them locked away and hidden from everyone else.
-
Great diagram, Nichole. I agree, I'm pretty sure materia doesn't get used in (at least) the Buster Sword 2.0, if not in a lot of other weapons also.
-
That is what I was thinking. None of them really used any magic at all.
-
I imagine if any characters used materia, they would absorb it like Kadaj did. Kadaj had a weapon, but he put it in his arm instead. Would that be a materia-slotted armor then? I don't think so, but, I'm no expert.
-
He did put it in his arm .... I'm guessing in terms of details of the game, it'd be slotted armor or the wrist/accessories the game also had.. It had 2 armor-types and one weapon if I recall... x_x
Hmmm confusing , yet it makes sense.
-
*shrug* Eh, I'll just not think too hard about it. Might find an inconsistency, and that would ruin eeeeeverything, lol
-
I agree *nod* lol
I was bored after all the fireworks keeping me up, so I took a random image of my Reno costume. I bought the wig randomly a bit ago, and go figure xD I've got all the stuff for his costume in my closet hehe Yay for zipper-closing black leather jacket~
Sorry it's so tiny, I figured re-sizing it would be good.

I'll get a picture of Tifa later outside XD Maybe one of my friends'll wear my Reno or something to the con. I dunno.
-
I like it. I can't wait to see your Tifa :P
-
I got bored today and was like "meh take pics of Tifa!" XD I didn't feel like fighting with the ribbon to get it on, and I was too lazy to put on the lip gloss XD But I did get 2 okay-ish pics.
x_x; My hair at the top's now too light for Tifa aargh~ I wonder if I can find a dark brown dye thing so I can dye my hair just before the con....
Oh yeaaah I also got these shoes from Ross recently. They have a lot of white on them, but I'm not sure how much I wanna cover them with black (black fabric marker).... What do you all think?

-
The shoes are up to you, as for the hair I plan on getting mine dyed one more time before the con, like the weekend before if not during the week so I would do it if I were you.
-
We uses plain black converse high tops for my Tifa's shoes... and man have those seen better days now because she wears them everywhere.... Haha, I think the shoes look fine though. :3
-
Well I don't know if I can buy a black fabric marker to color them before the con. Might, might not. I would prefer them to be a lot more black x_x; But if I can't for kumori I won't die over it. I'm more concerned with how long the skirt is x_x It's like 2'' too long.
-
Yeah, I'd say the shoes would look better if they were darker. Just kind of looks like Tifa went walking through white paint or wet cement, haha.
But it looks good, for the most part. :)
-
ROFL Well my mom is a painter XD But she doesn't have any paint for shoes I don't think lol
I know what you mean though, cause the white's so... predominant @.@
-
If you wanted to call your cosplay "Midgar Incident Tifa" or something...like she got roughed up in the heart of Midgar...that could explain the shoes, heh. I mean really, if there is nothing you can do about it, don't stress over it. The costume looks good overall, and nobody will get on your case about the shoes. People are accepting in person, heh
-
Umm I was wondering if I could go as a turk?
-
Not speaking for Nichole, our fearless gatherer, but I'm sure you could. ^_^
-

When are they meeting up?
-
It is Saturday at 1:00pm I believe.
-
Where at are we meeting and thank you for being so kind ^^
-
Bo problem (I'm in the group too, so I don't mind). There hasn't been a place chosen yet, as far as I know. We'll probably pick a location at the Pre-Con meeting, because we'll be scouting the area's parks and locations.
-
When is the pre con meeting gahh I have been away to long!!!
-
lol, The Pre-Con is August 16th, at noon. We're meeting at the hotel to get a tour through and get used to the area, and then we are also going to check out the area, hang out and do a pre-battle walkthrough for the Mock-Battle.
-
Hmm good point. I hope people won't get on me about the shoes cause they have such bright white on them x_X; They'll just have to deal I guess lol
So many questions! But I agree with you Abyss, Nikki does seem to be our fearless *leader*, ne?~ She's so organized~ Q.Q Yay!
Location's a good question... I don't think I've ever heard of them assigned until the con-staff maybe assigns it perhaps, like in the schedules...?
-

YAY ^^ I will be there I think ^^
-
So is the meetup this saturday?
-
So is the meetup this saturday?
You mean the Pre-Con? No, that's August 16th (we're in July, lol).
And actually locations of photo shoots are chosen by the groups themselves. Staff don't actually have any say because the shoots are attendee-ran events. So, whenever we all agree on a place, it will become THE place for the shoot.
-
Yeah I don't care if you are in our group. This is more for all FF7 cosplayers than a group really :P
And we can figure out a location and talk it over with the other ff groups after early con :P
-
Thank you all for being so kind ^^
-
Sounds like a good plan, Nichole.
And no prob, Blackfeather.
-
Umm thank you and my real thank you ^^
-
It might almost be better to take pictures with the buildings rather than with the grass and trees >_>
-
Yeah, I'm sold on that idea for Barret, at least. He has always seemed like a grey/metallic shade character, rather than an earthy, vibrant tone type.
-
I would totally take pictures.
-
I'd love the help ^_^ It'd be fun to work together at some point.
And of course I can take shots for you anytime you want/need.
-
I went to the OFFICIAL Square enix shop... Dudes. it was amazeing
I have pics on my myspace, It was like heaven
-
I will have to check your pictures out :P I'm glad you had a good time.
-
Yay! *goes off to look at your pics*

Whoa, mock battle? Let me join your party Barret. Can anyone join?
I'm good with any kinda blade(s), as well as mixed martial arts.

Yeah, totally. The thread is here: http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=9624.0 (http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=9624.0)
Basically, we will just be battling in typical Final Fantasy fashion, doing random battles in the way and style of the video games. So, yeah, we'd love to have you join up.

I probably wont be able to come to the pre-con thing, my parents will have a freaking FIT <.< sorry
-
Oh, what changed, Black Rose?
-
I probably wont be able to come to the pre-con thing, my parents will have a freaking FIT <.< sorry
Thats probably because you are underage.
-

No actually, its because they are too freaking lazy to drive me to portland more than once a month and I doubt they would let me go so close to con <.< its not that I'm underage, its that I'm a burden.
-
You're not a burden, Mandy. Everyone luvs you and if I could drive I'd get you myself. :)
-
I still need to attach the sword bag to my Cloud costume. Maybe that will be something I do over the weekend. :P
-
You're not a burden, Mandy. Everyone luvs you and if I could drive I'd get you myself. :)
aaww thankyou ^^ Its fine though, I still need to earn a little more money for the con anyways and I will probably want to spend a lot of time with gordon cuz hes comeing back from china on august 14th!!! YAY!! ^^ I will be at the actually Mock batte though
-
Understandable. You seem pretty clued in as to how the MB will work, so I have no worries about you showing up to and having fun, heh
-
yup lol I have been really busy this summer >.< and somehow lazy at the same time 0.o
-
I can understand that, lazy and busy, heh. I am busy with things I don't want to do, but lazy with everything else.
-
yeah pretty much, although I wanted the voice lessons and I need to earn the money from watering the grapes >.<
-
This is going to be a lot of fun.

This is going to be a lot of fun :D Again I'll be Cloud on Monday.
