EVENT OFFICIALLY POSTPONED UNTIL SPRING 2010!
Da Rules:
- So, this will be a simple turn-based reenactment of the popular Final Fantasy battle system.
- Two types of battles we will/can do: Game-Specific Battles and Crossover Battles.
- First we will do the Game-Specific Battles, working our way up from FFI. If a game does not have enough cosplayers to battle, then the game will be skipped, and the cosplayers that are present can participate in the Crossover Battle, if they desire.
- After the Game-Specifics, the Crossover will simply entail of all the oddball mash-ups and crossovers that people want to do or see (for example: Kuja vs. Everyone, Yuna vs. a Moogle, etc.).
So, that's about it! Everyone good? Let's rumble!
-
I am in as Cloud, duh :P
-
Yes, yes, I figured you would be, haha
-
We don't have a time yet as the schedule isn't made yet, but it will probably be on the Sunday of Kumoricon...that is when it has been for the past couple years, I think.
And yep, Yuffie is good!
-
Ah, well don't stress yourself out, or stretch yourself in too many directions. It'd be great to have you with us, but it's understandable if you can't. :)
-
Well awesome. I know you'll do a fantastic job (you already look a lot like Yuffie) ^_^
-
Alright I am so looking forward to this. Hell I just want any con at this point x.x
-
I will go as the Turk Cissnei / Shuriken!
-
Awesome! Can't wait to see how that costume turns out!
-
o.o Well, I'd like to do Reno so it'll motivate me to get off my butt and actually do something. :/ and the costume's not amazingly hard.
-
can't wait for this mock battle, it will be epic ^.^
-
Indeed! I just hope I don't explode out of excitement before then. I mean...I have so much to look forward to!
-
I know right? I am so looking forward to this....I guess this is one problem with planing things so far in advance =/
-
Yeah, but I think the pros outweigh the cons. At least when you plan things this early, the chances of having them go wrong are much much less.
-
yeah that is true....but you get all these amazing ideas and then you have to wait....maybe we should meet-up to "practice" XD
-
lol...not a bad idea. Time-wise I'm pretty cramped, but it would still be fun to have a "practice" mock-battle, haha.
-
plus we can work out some of the small issues we may run into ;D
-
Yeah, that is definitely a possibility. I have to rework parts of my Barret Wallace costume, but it probably won't get done by the time we do this "practice battle", whenever it happens.
-
haha, that can be an effect we add in. Or you know, with some of Yuffie's weapons she would just run up an strike instead of throwing it. You could always do that. ;D
-
Well, in the game she will have different weapons, and depending on what weapon she will either throw it (pinwheel/rising star/etc) or run up and swing it (like a sword or club).
And then of course, Yuffie is a thief-type, so she is able to steal too.
But in VII everything is based on materia, so anyone can really do anything, heh.
There are her Limit Breaks, though, which are character specific. Yuffie's are Greased Lightning, Clear Tranquil, Landscaper, Blood Fest, Gauntlet, Doom of the Living, and All Creation.
- Greased Lightning
Yuffie does a combination attack, one up close and one distance attack.
- Clear Tranquil
Restores minor HP for the entire party.
- Landscaper
Yuffee slams into the ground and creates Earth damage to the enemy.
- Blood Fest
Yuffie brutally pounds all enemies ten times.
- Gauntlet
Damages all enemies with blue light power. It hits powerfully for special damage.
- Doom Of The Living
Yuffie slashes fifteen times at random monsters.
- All Creation
A massive beam slams itself violently into the enemy party.
So, there are quite a few special attacks she can do.
If you really want to learn more about these, I am sure there are videos of them up on Youtube. It'd be amazing if you actually did any of them in the Mock-Battle. ^_^
-
Here's the video, I'll save you the trouble. :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD_tMbuxcto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD_tMbuxcto)
Also, I'd just like to throw another video out there for reference of an amazing Mock-Battle/LARP (and brilliant Final Fantasy parody).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNzFE8rNPQU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNzFE8rNPQU)
-
Yeah I am going to have a hard time moving the buster sword around >_>
I will be strong enough though XD
-
yeah it could take a little while >_> that is why it might be better to do practice before hand. Also maybe we can do it Monday at the end of the con ;D
-
xD Aw, I just remembered I need to redo my EMR. I'm not positive v.1 is okay to bring in public.
-
*dies*
...You'll have to guide me with the stoof when the time comes. 8D
Oh wow xD I saw that. It was amazing.
--
Won't this take more than a few hours to film? x.o I don't wanna miss out on the con.
It actually wouldn't take too long. When we did it before it only lasted about 10 minutes. We aren't going to be doing any real scenario like that video I posted, it will just be a battle with different characters. We'll form two parties, good vs. bad, and fight. Very simple.
-
I still think it is going to be amazing. As it gets closer to time you will have to plan out more of what you want. I am interested in hearing more details ;D
-
Yeah, sure. I've got ideas and plans out the whazoo, so I will get those posted eventually.
-
alright. Like I said, I would love to hear them ;D
-
Well, I basically just want to replicate the in-game battle system. Cosplayers would arrange themselves in two lines, party vs. party, and take turns acting. Call out attacks, magic spells, summons, other activities as they are done (Since there won't be an overhead attack label like in the game).
Other than that, I don't see there being any real structure to it. There can be, certainly, but I don't want to bog it down too much. When it happened before it was very spontaneous and just fun, there wasn't any specific rules about it, just people replicating the game's battle system of takign turns attacking.
I would also like to have the battle theme playing in the background as we play (or even have the saxophone guy play it!). I will be sure to have items to represent the different items needed in battle (potions, phoneix downs, ethers, etc.), so they can be used when needed.
Just basic fun having, heh.
-
yeah that is what I kinda had in mind. I would love to do that XD
-
Sweet! ^_^
But the more I think about it the more I think a practice session would be a very good idea. We need to clarify what the expectations are and how to go about it so people aren't confused come Kumoricon-time.
-
See what I mean? Because I too don't want to be kept from the con for too long :P
-
Well, it would be part of the con. This event would be part of the FF Photoshoot, just for future reference.
-
yeah I guess you can look at it that way ;D
-
Yeah, just saying that the photoshoot usually has about an hour given it, and of that time only about a fourth of it would be this mock-battle, so...it's doable, heh.
-
What do you recommend to make the Rekka?
-
Hmmm...I would think maybe starting with wood and working from that. Make the frame out of wood, (a wooden ring for the center), and then make the blades/edges out of wood and fasten them to the ring, or of a heavy duty plastic.
I've never made a pinwheel style weapon, so I am not too learned in what it takes. But good luck!
-
I'll be hanging out with all the friends that matter so I guess it will be alright.
I'm not too sure how to make the pinwheel either....though I think there is a link to make something similar to it in the helpful cosplay links in the cosplay board.
-
Ok! Thank you!
-
did you fine the link I was talking about? It was a tutorial for making Sasuke's weapon.
-
Not yet still looking
-
Alright I will check through them as well.
here you go http://amethyst-angel.com/armormaking_shuriken.html
-
*bows* Thank you! THank you!
-
you can use that as a starting point. I hope that helps somewhat.
-
Oh it will
-
glad I can help. You are planing on going as Yuffie right? Or was it someone else?
-
Cisseni is a Turk that befriends Zach
-
Good luck! I can vouch for Amethyst Angel. Her tutorials are amazingly helpful and relatively simple.
-
Okey thank you
-
hm...Does anyone know how much about...27 inches of PVC pipe is? o.o I heard you can find it at home depot or something.
-
Depending on the width, it will vary, but the biggest diameter would only be a few bucks. PVC Pipe is really cheap and a godsend as far as prop materials go.
You can get it at Home Depot or Lowe's, both places have the different sizes for great prices.
-
Ah, okay! >< Thank you so much.
-
No problem. What are you planning to make?
-
xD Reno's Electro Mag Rod. >> version 2. http://flarestone.deviantart.com/art/Turk-EMR-Prop-Weapon-Tutorial-99552599 < That seems like a pretty good tutorial since I'm terrible at making props. o.=
-
Yeah what Eve said would be your best bet. Good luck with that. It seems like a good tutorial.
-
Sweet! I love Reno's weapon, so simple yet totally brutal.
Just don't hit any Rudes you see by mistake, lol
-
his weapon was pretty sweet. He could be a real pain in the ass during the game DX
That stupid pyramid thingy he trapped you in DDDX
-
lol, yeah, I learned quickly to knock him out as soon as possible in battle, heh.
-
isn't there one battle where you fight him alone? On top of a reactor or something? It could be in Shinra >_> I think it was on top of something and outside XD
-
I am not sure. I know you fight Reno and Rude quite often. There is the scene in the game where shinra is going to destroy one of the support poles holding up the plate and blame it on Avalanche. In trying to stop it, the party fights Reno (and maybe Rude) on top of that pillar. That may be what you are thinking of.
-
Yeah I think that is the part. I think it might just be Reno though >_>
ANYWAYS! Do you have a particular battle you want to do? It seems like there is going to be many more good guys than bad guys >_>
-
I didn't have any actual battle in mind. Just some random battle involving whoever shows up, lol.
We could pretend there is some schism within the hero ranks and have good guys fighting against good guys & bad guys mixed in there. That may even things out.
But also, with more goodies than baddies, that may actually allow for a realistic representation of the game. Numbers were rarely even.
But i'm open to anything, Barret just wants to fight!
-
Yeah I guess that is true. Half the time we were fighting one bad guy with three good guys. AND if we have a Sephiroth we can have multiple groups surrounding him ;D
-
That's a brilliant idea! I really hope we have a Sephiroth now, hehe. I love that idea.
-
I'm sure we could find at least one :P
-
Sweet! I love Reno's weapon, so simple yet totally brutal.
Just don't hit any Rudes you see by mistake, lol
xD Boomstick FTW? ; D I'll try my best. Accidents happen, yo! [/shot'd]
o.o Sephiroth? 8D Wow, that would be epic.
-
Sweet! I love Reno's weapon, so simple yet totally brutal.
Just don't hit any Rudes you see by mistake, lol
xD Boomstick FTW? ; D I'll try my best. Accidents happen, yo! [/shot'd]
o.o Sephiroth? 8D Wow, that would be epic.
A great recreation of one of the final battles of FFVII. Entire party vs. Bizarro Sephiroth.
-
Yeah that would be great. If there isn't one I'm sure there will be a lot of turks for us to fight ;D
-
Yeah, most likely, heh. That's what happened in '07. PArty vs. Turks. It worked really well. It was THE Official Turk group, Turk Coffee Cosplay. They made actual gil that they passed out all weekend, and we ended up bribing them with it in the battle, lol.
-
xD Worst case scenario, I'll have some Turk cosplay for you guys to pwn.
-
Sounds good. So, when would be good for everyone to try to get together for a practice battle? We should gather up, not even in cosplay necessarily, just to work out the kinks and get everyone on the same page as far as what can and should be done at a mock-battle.
-
Not too sure....I would say some time in the summer....like June or July....or even August.
-
Hey! That is not cool! :'(
-
why is that not cool? O.o
-
Yes, what isn't cool? Microwaves aren't...they are rather warm most of the time, but I'm sure that's now what you're talking about, heh
-
yeah I have no idea either :P
-
I am one of those Turks! :-X
-
I see....well the you are going to get your butt kicked XD
-
>_< I do not like this plan..... not one bit.... :P
-
only because you are going to get your butt kicked by our awesomeness :P
-
Oh yes... that is why... Mmm the Turks are pretty awesome too... we will just have to wait and see.... :P
-
I don't know....we got Cloud, and Barret.....and Tifa and Aeris.....and Yuffie too :P
-
Yay! hahahaha...the battle is already developing! ^_^
-
Aw, psh! DON'T WORRY. US TURKS CAN TAKE 'EM. I mean, it takes cahones to fight in a suit jacket! [/cough] I MEAN PRACTICE BATTLE? : D Sounds good to me. o.o Yeah, maybe a month or so before Kumoricon.
-
:P All I would have to do is throw my sword at you and you wouldn't be able to lift it off yourself XD
Yeah a month before sounds good to me ;D
-
okey! I will keep practicing with Rekka :P
-
Cool, sounds good! Sometime in late July or August we can get a date for this and get together.
And Barret is totally gonna bust up all y'all's @$$3$! ^_^
-
YEAH YOU TELL THEM! XD
-
haha, all this year I'm gonna be working on furthering my in-character voice and mannerisms for this year. ;D
-
All I have to do is work on being emo and I will have some practice at that since I am cosplay Albel :P
-
haha, Cloud's not emo...I can't admit that. :D
-
He is a little emo >_> but he gets better ;D
-
lol ... which game/season are you doing?
-
She's cosplaying as Cloud from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, and I am doing Barret from FFVII:AC as well.
-
Yeah we are trying to get an AC group together ;D
-
xD AW. I'll use my...Turk....ness. This will be amazingly awesome.
I should work on being more Reno like. o.O o3o I should figure out if I'm going to have the 'yo/zo to' speech impediment.
-
Oh sad I am not AC Turk.... I am a Crisis Core one :P Oh well!
-
Ah, it's okay. Cissnei was still around during AC, just not active in the main events.
She can just wander up and discover some other Turks fighting and decide to join in, haha
-
Super! That is right I am back and I am going to save the world.... wait a moment I think that is a song....
-
So you can be part of our AC group :P
-
Sure, heh. This is why I like the universe of Final Fantasy VII that has been created with all the games, movie, and stories. There are all these characters that you know are still around and active, even though you don't see them as main characters in a certain spot. I like knowing somewhere, at some point, some character is doing something, lol.
-
yeah that is something that is pretty sweet :P
-
Anybody know of anyone else planning on cosplaying as a FF character this year? Spread the word, bring them in! It'd be really cool if we could get more foes/villains. Not necessary, just create for more options and opportunities.
-
I think PockyReno is planing something in her head... she was the one that asked me to be a Turk
-
I think she was going to go as Cloud too ^_^
-
Oh... I thought it was a bad guy.... I guess I will ask her now Monday
-
yeah it might be best to ask her >_>
-
We do!
-
Cloud or bad guy, it's great either way. ^_^
-
yeah I'm sure either way will be great. We need more bad guys XD
-
If nothing else, we could always make/find plushies of creatures from the FF world and fight them, lol.
-
Yeah that would work out well....but I'm sure there will be Turks XD
-
we could always attack a tv, like the anime hunters >.> lol
-
O.O
Con Saga.....like Collage Saga only with a con theme XD
-
lol, Yeah, attacking a TV could work, haha
And I don't know what College Saga is, but Con-themed anything is always a plus.
-
I'll post a link but it's long >_>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwLrgxtALWs
long and amazing XD
-
I don't have time to watch all of it, but oh my goodness...what I did watch was amazing, lol.
That victory dance!
Ah, that is really awesome, haha
-
yeah that video was pretty amazing. I was thinking maybe we could fight people like narutards and what not....like they fought the science professor and the jock XD
-
Yeah, definitely! I love that idea as well. Kumoricon will give us a lot of opportunities for great battles, I think.
-
I missed the first page and by the time i got a chance to read it again there were may pages ya
but did i meantion kendo hubby fighter costume from the first ff game? ;D
and i migh have to make another moogle costume
-
That's cool. It'd be great to have a Moogle show-up, haha. You can be a summon!
-
Yeah moogle would be great. If only we could get someone to cosplay Shiva or something XD
-
Yeah, getting someone to do a quality FFX Shiva cosplay would blow my mind. I've seen it done pretty successfully, but at Kumoricon? We can only wish.
-
if i ever get in shape enough and can work well enough with wig stuff, i'd like to do shiva someday... probably just a dream though, not sure it would ever really happen T.T
-
You'd be an amazing Shiva. With those huge dreads....*dreamy eyes* lol
-
You'd be an amazing Shiva. With those huge dreads....*dreamy eyes* lol
aw shucks... hehe. maybe someday, and you can help with the hair >.O
-
I look forward to whenever that will be, haha.
But yes, mock-battle! I am gonna be looking for creature-cosplayers, because I do really want to get some summons, haha.
We could always have someone cast a summon, and then someone can throw the plushie from off-screen, lol.
Cactuar!
*toss*
*doink*
9,999 HP!
-
I would love to cosplay FFX Shiva as well...but I don't think it will happen :P
Cactuar would be good as well XD
-
8D RENO IS STEADILY ADVANCING. [/just bought the wig] :p It's a terrible color, though.
-
awww that is too bad. Cloud is on his way. All I have to do is style the wig and I'm done XD
-
o.o Wow, already? xD That was fast. I can't wait to see it!! ><
Have you started the Buster Sword yet?
-
Someone is making it for me. :P
I don't have the skills to make it XD
As for the costume Marie already had it so I bought it off her, and she had a wig that was partially styled too. I just need to finish it up ;D
-
XD OH. I was all like "DAYUM."
Still! Aaa....So the meet-up before the meet-up was going to be sometime in August? o.o
-
Yeah, sometime that month.
-
Well I did start on the wig a little tonight. I got a few more spikes added in. The front is pretty much done....just need to work on the sides and the back. Then after the majority of it is styled I will make sure all the spikes come to spikes XD
But it doesn't seem like it will take too long. I might be able to go as Cloud to the picnic on the 28th ;D
-
I'm in for tifa ^^ sounds like fun!
-
Ahhh, I love your Tifa cosplay. xD
-
Alright we have a great group so far ;D
-
xD Gah, when did we get Aerith? >> I'll have to kidnap her.
-
Kahlan is cosplaying as Aerith, decided to just a month or so ago, heh.
Reminds me, I need to update the main page.
-
Ah~
What version is she planning on doing?
-
I'm pretty sure she is doing AC Aeris (which is also game Aeris, really).
-
X3 I am so looking forward to this. I will have to get the wig done quickly and take some pictures for everyone to see ;D
-
Oh, that'll be awesome!
-
Yeah, I'm just so friggin' ready already, hehe.
And Kahlan is really excited too. She is going to have fun being the healer, heh.
And I am planning to bone up on my video editing skills, because I definitely want to put things like damage and healing points in, at least, if not other things too.
-
xD I'm still trying to figure out how I'll be doing this.
._.
-
Doing your Reno costume you mean? Or doing the mock-battle?
-
Yeah....I need to start studying Clouds moves >_>
Just means I have to watch Advent Children more XD
-
@ Eve: Mock-battle. xD Although, I should probably start wearing my jacket in place once it's done so I can get a feel of it and stuff.
@ Nikkiolie: xD Which isn't a bad thing!
-
not necessarily. I need to make sure I can do some of those moves >_> though it isn't a necessity XD It would just look freaking amazing :P
-
EDIT: OKAY, TOTALLY POSTED IN THE WRONG THREAD.
o_o It would.
-
@ Eve: Mock-battle. xD Although, I should probably start wearing my jacket in place once it's done so I can get a feel of it and stuff.
@ Nikkiolie: xD Which isn't a bad thing!
Well, that's why we are going to do the walkthrough sometime in August. But basically, just imagine a FFVII random battle...but with us playing it. It isn't going to be too complicated.
-
Yeah it wont be too difficult. It is going to be more fun than anything else XD
-
Yup yup, for truth. It's gonna be a Mind Blast! (Barret limit break ftw, heh)
-
Eve: xD Well, that'll definitely help.
o_o I can't wait.
-
x.x I also need to learn all of Clouds limits
-
Ehhh, I should probably learn some of Reno's attacks.
-
yeah that might be slightly harder. Most of his good ones are in the game >_>;
-
xD Yeah, but it looks like he only has a few.
Short Staff
Pyramid
Electro-Mag Rod
Turk Light
Electroprod
Neo Turk Light
o.o Some sounds like they speak for themselves.
Pyramid, however, looks fun!
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Pyramid_(Final_Fantasy_VII)
"Pyramid is a boss from Final Fantasy VII. It only appears when Reno uses the attack called 'Pyramid'. That attack will trap a character inside a Pyramid, making them incapable of acting. The Pyramid itself cannot do anything. A single attack will destroy it. "
-
haha, that pyramid was rather annoying. I'm sure you'll use that on a lot of us, huh? ^_^
-
yeah I hated that attack -_-;
-
Nichole, this video should be pretty helpful for you in getting some of Cloud's limit breaks. It shows how they are performed in both game and movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v4XMjzreKE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v4XMjzreKE)
-
8D
It might happen a few times.
-
We'll still get ya! ^_^
-

why thank you. That will be very useful ^_^
-
We'll still get ya! ^_^
Aw, psh! l3 No one stands in the way of Reno and the Turks. [/shot'd]
-
Bring it on, punk! *raises gun* ^_^
-
We will kick your scrawny little butt :P
-
haha, can not wait ;D
-
I know I am so looking forward to it now. MUST FINISH COSTUME! We have to get a real photo shoot together with out AC group. Not like standing in a group taking pictures....but more....professional like pictures :P
-
Yeah, I agree! I had heard there was a professional photographer at Kumoricon last year but I couldn't find her, so I never got any shots. So I really would like to do that this year. Pro shots, pro poses, the whole nine yards.
-
Yeah I got a photographer to take pictures of me and the other two sand sibs but I haven't seen them posted yet =/
But it would be great if we could get the photographer here to take some nice shots of the battle too :P
-
^^ and I'll keep trying to get in shape! XD I'll probly lose a lot of weight on my japan trip though
-
Same here. I am hoping to have noticeable muscle on my arms by the time kumoricon rolls around :P
-
Yeah, good luck working out/losing weight/building muscle, you all. I am also hoping to be in significantly better shape by the time the con rolls around. Not that Barret is super buff, but I definitely would like to do him justice (more than I have in the past couple years). I'm getting there, my arms are coming along well, but I just need to have a general slimming down of the gut, too, haha.
-
I am also trying to lose weight, because many things but the most important thing is my cuz wedding...
-
my arms are coming along too. I'll do some more arm workouts latter today after I am done with classes :P
And Shinagami you are getting married? Wait....nvm I see, your cousin is getting married XD
-
haha, made me double take too.
I'm gonna go to the gym today and work on Barret's guns, lol.
-
ditto on the trying to get in shape stuff. aggghhh stupid stomach flab that won't go away >.<
-
^ *side-whisper to other people in the forum* She's full of it, there's no gut to lose.
So I am planning to bring a few FF creature plushies to Kumoricon for summons, in case we can't find anyone cosplaying summons.
Also, I saw that Deviant_Spider is planning to cosplay as Charizard. I think it'd be awesome if we did some FF/Pokemon crossover and had someone summon Charizard (or any other big baddie pokemon).
-
AW. xD Epic crossover.
o_o;; I need to lose weight in general. ...I am simply just unhealthy.
...Plus, Reno is like...
....
stick.
-
I hate this whole waiting game x.x
FF pokemon would be amazing XD
-
Glad to see I'm not just crossover crazy, and others think it'd be sweet. We'll have to try to wrangle Deviant on over to our photoshoot, if she isn't preoccupied (but she may be, being staff).
-
@.@ Same here.
...I needta get my jacket. xD I have Thursday-Friday off, plus only a half school day on Wednesday. My mom is planning on having an office day 'AKA work at home' day, so I'm going to try and convince her to drive me to Goodwill. xD
o3o Also. ...Does anyone know if the smaller Joann's stores have long metallic zippers?
The only store within a couple hours of me is going to move to a bigger place soon, but I'm not sure where. It's not a HUGE store, but yeah. o3o Metallic zippers, please?
-
I would love to see that. It would be all "You trapped my friends in a pyramid well.....take this" :P
-
GAH. THWARTED BY CHARIZARD, ZO-TO.
-
This is going to be so much fun ^_^
-
haha I have a bit of a gut to lose too.. I got the acai berry at a health store.. it actually works! I lost at least 3 pounds in a week of takeing it without any real extra excorsize.
-
Good to know. It is supposed to curve appetite right?
-
yeah it does help with that. It also is like a pick-me-up. It makes you feel more healthy and awake lol
-
I may have to try it out then. My mom got a bottle of it but I'm not sure if she is willing to share.....
back on topic. How is progress for costumes? (if anyone started them)
-
o3o Also. ...Does anyone know if the smaller Joann's stores have long metallic zippers?
The only store within a couple hours of me is going to move to a bigger place soon, but I'm not sure where. It's not a HUGE store, but yeah. o3o Metallic zippers, please?
Smaller JoAnne's? I only know of one, and it is the pretty big one on Hwy 99 in Tigard. I know they have different lengths of metal zippers there.
Also. there is Mill End Fabrics, which has two locations. One in Portland and one in Beaverton. That place has a ton of materials, lots of zippers of different types. Great prices.
Either way, good luck finding zippers. Depending on what you need, there is always the option of just spray painting the zippers the color of metal, if you only get a plastic one or can't find the exact type of metal you need.
-
I'm not too sure about the area that you live in Syd but the Joann's on 99 is the only one I know of >_>
-
xD Ehh, thanks. o3o I live an awful ways away from Portland/Beaverton, so I may just check the closest one.
>> I think they might have them.
-
okay (sorry off topic)
this is the one I got
http://livesuperfoods.com/detox/ULL010.html
but it has cascara sagrada in it so you should also read this
http://altmedicine.about.com/od/completeazindex/a/cascara.htm
it isnt supposed to be taken by people under 18 but whatever lol its not hurting me

I imagine they would so I would check there. Ours has zippers at least ;D

Do you use the stuff in the second link? I would advice against that. Essentially what that is, is purging....part of bulimia >_>;
-
no no the product I got for the acai berry has a little of that in it. so I researched it to make sure I was safely useing it
It doesn't have that much of that stuff in it though. oh wait... I dunno anymore 0.0 I'm trying to reasearch the product I have now I'm freaking out ahhh!!
-
If you don't have diarrhea don't worry ^_^
Basically taking something to give you diarrhea is the same as putting your finger down your throat and puking. You are using something to get rid of the food you are eating therefore making you skinny =/
-
no I dont have diarrhea. I dont want it either lol. But I think I might take a break from takeing it just in case.. so its not prolonged use. I'll take a week off and see what happens.
-

Are you using it for the Org. cloak?
The Joann I go to is fairly small, but they do have different sized zippers there. (like, even 40in ones. WOOHOO)
Nah, Reno's jacket has a zipper.
o_o 40 in ones? ....wow.
-
no I dont have diarrhea. I dont want it either lol. But I think I might take a break from takeing it just in case.. so its not prolonged use. I'll take a week off and see what happens.
if you have been take it for a week you should be fine. Don't worry about it.
and Syd are you sure his jacket has a zipper? I don't remember seeing one >_>

There is a zipper visible in this shot: http://www.ffspirit.net/images/content/news/articlesimages/up2709tr8.jpg (http://www.ffspirit.net/images/content/news/articlesimages/up2709tr8.jpg)
-
Yeah but that is a figure....not in the movie. I mean you can add a zipper if you want but I don't think anyone would notice. Plus it is a blazer, like the Ouran coats, most of those don't have zippers.
-
Actually, I've found another shot, an actual screenshot from the film, that shows a zipper on Reno's jacket. Square (and vicariously Play/Trading Arts) are really good about making the figures accurate to the original models/designs. (https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi13.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa263%2FAsuya-chan%2Fadvent%2520children%2FReno2.jpg&hash=94bdcdb9025eb5c42035cac47f0735ab7e542456)
You can see the white of the zipper lining the jacket there.
So good luck, Syd! Hope you can find it.
-
Yeah I see it now.....but I still don't think people will notice if you don't have one >_>
-
Yeah, that's true. These are little details that I would suggest not stressing over. It's the kind of detail that only you will notice. Nobody is going to analyze your costume.
-
Same with the spikes on the Cloud wig ^_^ I know people aren't going to count the spikes and be like "this one is not in the right place" but I will still try my best to make the wig look amazing ;D
-
xD Well, true. But, I need practice on zippers. I mean, I'm not going to freak out if I can't find the zipper or something, but I should PROBABLY worry about getting the actual jacket first. o.o;; I do have a couple already, but one's too small and more FF VII Game color then AC[:p last resort, but it doesn't match the pants] and one's too big with a subtle pinstripe that is friggin' annoying me. o.o I just want to be recognizable. xD;;
Also! The wig has been shipped, and I think I have a basic idea of how to style it so far. Should take 10 to 25 business days, though. =.=;;;
-
Yeah styling takes a lot of hair spray. And what seems to be working for me is covering the section with hair spray, getting it the shape I want then using a blow dryer (on low) to help it dry and hold it's shape. The wig looks good so far. When I get home I will try to post some progress pictures ;D
-
Ah, yeah. I use that for my own gravity defying hair from time to time. xD >> Now I should probably get some good hairspray that isn't off brand. :p
-
got2b is good. It is what I like to use....though I have used others and they work just fine ;D
-
That's rather expensive, though. o.= I've had some pretty good results with Tresemme [or whatever], and can usually find some around the house. ....Gah! >< Can't wait for my wig.
-
its not too expensive about 6 or 7 dollars a bottle. Not that bad >_> I think I am going to have to get a new one after I work on my wig a little this weekend ;D
-
wigs are such a hassle X_X I'm currently working on getting a mello wig and a marluxia wig.. and a wig head and wig shampoo
-
So, Mock-Battle...what is one spell/attack/limit break that you all hope to see someone do or do yourself?
I am thinking I may make/bring a big orange ball and a big blue ball to use as Barret's "Big Shot" and "Mindblow" limit breaks, respectively.
-
So, Mock-Battle...what is one spell/attack/limit break that you all hope to see someone do or do yourself?
I'm fine with anything, but I may need someone who has actually played the game to guide me through Yuffie's attacks. >.>
I could help you with that, heh. It'd be fun, I can be a FFVII tutor, lol.
We could work through that at the pre-battle-walkthrough in August, or we can talk through it on here. Her stuff isn't too complicated.
-
i'd like to see everyone's limit breaks, that would be cool. a string of punches and kicks from tifa (in video editing slots could be added before the attack, like in the game), any of barret's or yuffie's, some form of omnislash from cloud would be fun, and i could do one of aeris'. what would be amazing is to have one of vincent's, but that would require someone else in a chaos/monster costume to run in and fight, lol.
-
what would be amazing is to have one of vincent's, but that would require someone else in a chaos/monster costume to run in and fight, lol.
Which would be amazing! haha, that'd be so epic.
And I just thought of this...had never even given this thought...Vincent's final form in VII is Chaos, the same one from Dirge. They are soooo different looking! I don't know why that surprises me, but I never considered Vincent's final form when playing through Dirge.
-
oh yeah, that's right... i think they made it more epic for dirge because of the advancements in technology... lol.
i really want someone to cosplay one of vincent's other forms now >.O
-
I think of all of them Hellmasker would be the easiest. It is like a cross of Casey Jones and Jason, lol
-
lol, but it would be awesome and epic if someone did chaos or something.... i've seen pictures of a chaos cosplayer, but i'd love to see one at k-con. can't imagine all the work that would have to go into that costume o.O lol
-
One of these years, we will get our Dirge cosplay group together, and we'll have to wrangle that Chaos from Washington (I think there was one from there).
-
yeah, that would be amazing ^.^
it would be fun if somehow we could edit in someone getting mini or toad cast on them XD
-
Tim and Eric could do it! Maybe we could hire them, lol. ^_^
-
So what is new?
-
Nothing at the moment. I am plotting out how I can accomplish any of Barret's limit breaks, and I am hoping to be able to help Danayoki with Yuffie's. Limit breaks = amazing in mock-battle!
-
Yeah this is going to be amazing if we get all the limits done XD
-
Yeah, you've gotta get those arms built up so you can do Omnislash! ^_^
-
Yeah that would be freaking AMAZING! I plan on it :P
-
Yay! I can't wait, haha.
Now if only I could leap into the sky, I could do Barret's final limit break.
But I'm okay with doing his more simple ones, heh.
-
I'm not even sure how I am going to do ominislash without hitting the person >_>
-
haha, bounce the sword around them, just wave it around them in large circles, lol.
-
yeah that will be hard >_> I'll give it a shot. The sword is going to be pretty heavy x.x
-
With the time you have, you could definitely build your arms to lift that sword with ease.
-
Yeah I am sure that I will be able to. I think for now though I am going to focus on my stomach but once sakuracon is over I will work on my arms ;D
-
Cool. I imagine the Buster Sword, at most, would weigh maybe 60 lbs, so working with at least that much weight a few times week should help you out a lot. Like Goku with extreme gravity training, heh. Work with lots of weight and then lesser weights will seem like nothing.
-
yeah I plan on it. But first I need to be able to lift weight under that. I believe my arms are close to being able to lift 60 lbs....I might be at 50 at this point ;D
-
Good job, Nichole. You'll be super saiyan in no time, haha.
-
Thanks. You keep up the hard work too. Maybe over the summer we can workout together?
-
Yeah, definitely. That'd be fun. :)
-
It would be fun and we could keep each other motivated.
-
I'll need to research all tifas moves XD
-
I'll need to research all tifas moves XD
i think we'll all need to brush up on our respective skills ^.^
maybe we should play some of ffvii together so we all can see the moves/limits/spells/etc so we all know what we need to do ^.^
-
Sounds like a plan to me ;D
I would love to sit around and study the games as people play. I can see someone playing and like five people in the background with notebooks taking notes XD
-
hahaha yeah, that would be awesome ^.^
eve and i will have to play and get everyone's final limit breaks and such so we can all study the most powerful ones >.O
-
awsome
I did find out about tifas dolphin punch XD that one is sooo random
and I do have the original FFVII game
-
Yeah I will have to borrow it from a friend and play it during next term and over the summer. I WILL BE A MASTER BY KUMORICON! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA >:D
-
xD I don't have the game, so I'll probably just end up looking up some gameplay on YouTube or whatever. =p Reno doesn't have a massive amount of attacks, right? ...Oh! Also, I got a jacket for Reno. It's more a FF VII Game style, a dark navy. xD Plus, that way I can have an excuse for the shorter ponytail.
-
Yeah I don't the game either. Though I do have friends that have it ;D
I'm sure your jacket would look great. You should post pictures *Nikki loves pictures :P*
-
Ehhhhh. xD I want to wait until I get my wig, so it looks somewhat complete. [/headdesk] I think I'm going to wait a while before I start Boomstick V.2. =.=;;;
-
you could just take a picture of the jacket....not on or anything :P
-
True. ....But, my camera is all messed up. [/sigh] I'm pretty angry about it. When I try to turn it on, the battery button blinks red and then the camera turns off. It also won't charge.... :/
-
FIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE! be that way :P
-
xD I could try using my cell phone? >> If I can find the friggin' upload thing. [/wanders off to find it]
-
Don't worry about it. I guess I will just have to wait :P
-
xD Aw, nah. Turks ain't that bad, yo! 8D I found the cord!! Pictures are at very odd angles, but I'm interested myself to see how they look on camera. SO! Uploading them now~
-
Yeah I will have to borrow it from a friend and play it during next term and over the summer. I WILL BE A MASTER BY KUMORICON! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA >:D
I really like the idea of all of us playing through the game together. One person playing and others watching and taking notes, haha. I just like the idea of us all hanging out, essentially.
But if we all actually had time over the Summer, I'd say we should have a weekly FFVII club, where we make a time to get together and play through the game or make observations or just plan things out for character development.
-
that would be awsome!! but I wouldnt be able to come for the two weeks that I'll be in japan
-

Yeah, your outfit looks really good so far. ^_^
And I am also envious of you, Rose. When are you going to Japan?
-
I'm sure it will all look great. If you need help we can always help you ^_^
-
well its not all fun and games.. I'm going through people to people exchange program as a student ambassador. and there are guidlines on how I have to dress and stuff so yeah. Cuz apparently I'm representing america 0.0
-
Ah, wow! Go with the pride and support of our country! *patriotic theme plays in background* ^_^
-
That would still be sweet. You really get to experience their culture :P
-

Oh!!!! I got a chance to go as a Student Ambassador!! xD I got a letter and meetup place and everything. ....Then I found out the price. o.o
-
yeah its pretty expensive
^^ I'm excited to go though, regardless of the guidelines for clothing lol
-
Well, just let us know when you're back and we can have the pre-battle. ^_^
-
And you can tell us all about your trip ;D
-
IF you see any nifty FF-related goodies or mock-battle-usable props, I'll reimburse you for them! ^_^
-
sweet deal but I have very limited money and I probably would not be able to buy anything expensive on the spot.
-
Ah, well that makes sense. You'll just have to tell us about the cool stuff you see (or take pictures, heh).
-
yush pictures will probably be my best souvenir
^^
-
Yeah I want to see pictures ;D
-
Well, for the time being until I can work with anyone who needs or wants to work through their Limit Breaks personally, here's a video showing everyone's limit breaks:

I'M IN!! As Katana Turk!
We need more Turks dang-it!! I still need to make a katana out of wood cause I really don't want to bring the stainless steel one I have. I might scare the people I'm fighting lol
But this sounds fun. With the whole FFVII Club, mock-battle practice, the ideas you've all come up with are just plain epic!!
And I'll talk to a Rufus Shinra I know and see if he's in for the whole thing.
-
I'M IN!! As Katana Turk!
Katana Turk, is that from Before Crisis or is that an original character? I know a lot of people have made up their own characters and called them Turks.
-
Katana Turk is from Before Crisis.
-
Ah, well that's cool. Glad to have you along with us. ^_^
-
Here's a link to a pic of the character:
http://s251.photobucket.com/albums/gg294/RandomTurkVII/?action=view¤t=KATANA.jpg
and here's the link to the pic of me as him ^_^
http://s251.photobucket.com/albums/gg294/RandomTurkVII/?action=view¤t=KATANA-1.jpg
-
Ooooh, cool. Looks like a great character!
-
He is a pretty cool character. Here's a short biography of him:
Katana (Male): A swordsman who was born in Gongaga and has a soft spot for beauty. He tends not to stay in one place for very long. Those in his hometown fear his skill and strength for it is said that he killed a large number of people to rescue a friend and was imprisoned as a result. Under the condition that he would join the Turks, he was given amnesty. He first appears in Episode 18 of Before Crisis, but has been a Turk for several years at that point and was simply on an undisclosed assignment. He uses a katana as his sole weapon.
I don't really know if he's dead during Crisis Core - Advent Children, as far as I know he's MIA.
-
Pretty cool! :)
He's got the Gongaga look, looks a lot like Zack.
-
I know ^__^ I love Gongonga! lol
I need to start working on my katana though.
-
Ah, good luck!
So, does he have any special moves/limit breaks, or is the Before Crisis battle system pretty different?
-
I actually have no idea. I'll have to do more research. But from what I know, the unknown Turks, the ones without set names like Katana, don't have special attacks. I don't think you even see Katana fight.
I'll look into it though. ^^
Before Crisis was rumored to have come out in the states in 2006 but...it never happened!!
-
Ah, yeah, I know that BC was a strictly Japanese cellphone game. Tsk tsk, shame on you, Square Enix.
-
: O Sounds really fun... I hope to see you guys battle off! x3
(There should be more Turks)
-
HAHA! YES! More Turks, zo-to! >D
ShinRa's gonna kick some major butt~
Hm. As for Reno and his non-existent limit breaks....
o3o I was thinking of just using attacks. I mean, the pretty basic ones. Like 'Electroprod', 'Turk Light', and the EVERSOLOVED 'Pyramid'!! 8D
FFVII~Lover: Gah! I love your Katana Turk cosplay!
-
FFVII~Lover: Gah! I love your Katana Turk cosplay!
Thank you ^__^
-
No problem! >< I never see a lot of BC Turk cosplays. :/
-
HAHA! YES! More Turks, zo-to! >D

Yeah, it will be nice to have more Turks to beat on! *fist pump*
And here is a video of a battle with Reno, Syd, in case you want to get a refresher of what his attacks look like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jMCOWIRFOY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jMCOWIRFOY)
Yup, Pyramid and Electro Mag-Rod.
-
I started working on the wig again. It is almost done. I will post pictures tonight
-
yay!!
I'm getting wig shampoo to wash and detangle my tifa wig and a wig head to better style it
-
Gah, I need to get a wig head before I start styling Reno. >< Hm. :/ I haven't seen them at Sally's, so I may have to do a bit of searching.
Nikkiolie: BVRGFDNSK 8D I can't wait to see it.
EveofAbyss: Aw, PFFFFF. Don't worry! We won't lock you in a dungeon or anything when you lose.
Gah! Thank you. ><

the left side seems a little limp so I will make those spikes stand up more....but what do you think so far?
-
O_O OMFG. 8D I LOVE IT. SO MUCH.
o.o Looks like your real scalp underneath too, so it looks pretty natural. [....Or as natural as Cloud's hair can look]
Gah, you're going to make an amazing Cloud.
I love the way the front spikes turned out. :o
-
Yeah I am pretty happy with it ;D
-
xD Wow. How long did it take you total, do you think?
-
Cisseni is done :) but the Rekka is not done yet :(
-
8D Picshurrrrs~?
-
Glad to see everyone making progress!
And don't get too cocky, Reno, two Turks ain't no match for Avalanche!
-
Ooh! i see this as a perfect opportunity to cosplay a Tonberry!. So, I'm in as Tonberry!
-
Ooh! i see this as a perfect opportunity to cosplay a Tonberry!. So, I'm in as Tonberry!
Seriously! You're really going to be a Tonberry?!? Huzzah! Would you be down for being used as a Summon in this battle? It'd be so perfect! We can also do several different battles, I'm sure. Party vs. Tonberry, Party vs. party with Tonberry as a summon, hehe. Exciting!
-
Glad to see everyone making progress!
And don't get too cocky, Reno, two Turks ain't no match for Avalanche!
Aw, whatever! We could take you down in our sleep, zo-to~

-
Alright the wig didn't take too long to style. When I got it Marie already had quite a few spikes done but it took maybe....two three hours? I would love to see progress from other people though ;D
-
Really? xD Wow. Did you use Got2B?
Progress, eh? Well, I'm trying to figure out how to make Reno's tattoos/scars stay on. The current method I have is really nice and a good color, but will go EVERYWHERE if touched. Hairspray doesn't work.
:| I should just shell out and try and find some red liquid eyeliner.
...If they make it.
-
yes I did use go2b. It makes my hands all sticky but it works really really well. There is this spiking gel type stuff that I used to make the tips and to style the back. The hair spray is got2b glued blasting freeze spray and the gel is got2b glued styling spiking glue if anyone is interested.
-
zomg that wig is amazeing nikki!!!!!
-
Mandy, how many cosplays are you going to do for K-con? XD
-
Sure, I'll be a summon lol. I'm just looking forward to taking part and seeing all the other awesome FF cosplays ^_^
-
zomg that wig is amazeing nikki!!!!!
Thank you ^_^ I want to get in full costume and take some pictures today...we'll see how that goes :P
-
Sure, I'll be a summon lol. I'm just looking forward to taking part and seeing all the other awesome FF cosplays ^_^
Yaaaay! *happy dance* Can't wait to see your Tonberry cosplay! This just got a million times more exciting, haha
-
yeah the summon would be pretty sweet. I really can't wait for this ;D
-
Yeah, I hope we can get more summons/creatures, it will be soooo epic! ;D
-
Yeah it would be. It would also be nice to have characters from other ff games >_>
-
Yup, for sure. VII vs. VIII, VII vs. X...the options are endless (if lots of people do FF cosplay, that is, heh). I would hope for IX also, but that seems to be ever un-represented.
-
I'm sure there will be other ff cosplayers but most of them aren't on the forums ;D
-
Yeah, you're right. They need to get with it and join! haha
-
yeah they really do. I will try to draft more people to cosplay ff characters.
-
Yes, Go, Ambassador Nikkiolie!
-
I know we at least got one (Devin) but not sure about others. People at my school were talking about making a group. I'll ask them again.
-
Awesome. Glad to hear there are some stirrings of interest out there.
-
We need some people to go as the three brothers from AC too ;D
Maybe that is what Sarah can cosplay as. She doesn't really like any of the female characters even though I tell her she would be a good Tifa =/
-
Sarah, one of your friends from school?
Yeah, having Loz, Yazoo, and Kadaj would be pretty sweet, but it would have to be done right (in my opinion). Those are characters that a lot of people try but rarely do justice.
-
Yeah she was Gaara at kumoricon last year.
Tell me about it. I would love to cosplay yazoo :P
-
Wow, more people than I thought are excited for a Tonberry cosplay ^_^
As for me, I'm looking forward to getting to see EveofAbyss as Barret and nikkiolie as Cloud IRL XD
So, I know the easy part will be the robe ande such...but I'm not sure how I'm gonna go about the face >_>
-
I will have pictures of the costume up tonight. Not sure if they are going to be really nice looking pictures or just pictures to get the idea of what I would look like as Cloud >_>
It all depends on who takes them XD
-
I sent invites over MSN to EveofAbyss and nikkiolie, hope you two don't mind ^_^
-
Nah, that's cool with me. ^_^ I haven't had the time to get on MSN much lately, but if I do, I'll catch you at some point, hopefully, heh.
-
I got it :P
-
Woot! XD
-
Ok I lied I don't think I will get around to taking pictures in costume today. I much rather take really nice pictures than ones just showing the costume and I don't have time to do that today. So I will try for next weekend ;D
-
Nice pictures>Costume pictures
=p It'll make the reward ever more awesome.
-
^^ Agreed XD
-
I will try to get some today. I may do the side depressed picture like in my signature :P
-
lol, awesome XD
-
So, Devin said she was going to cosplay as Tifa for this, right? Or was she doing another character?
-
haha clouds a very depressed dude XD
-
Pfff, not nearly as much as a lot of you would like to imagine, lol. He's got hang-ups (and who's to say he shouldn't?) But I wouldn't venture as far as to turn him into a depressed emo kid.
-
I know XD but for a lot of advent he is suffering from vdd (very depressed dude)
-
That is true, but at least he works through it in the end. ^_^ Happy times.
-
I'm with Eveofabyss here lol, I'd be pretty depressed if I thought I was someone else and my whole life was a lie AND had someone close die. I'll go out on a limb and call him a quiet Bad A$$ XP
-
haha *high five* I concur. :D
-
Woot! I scored my first K-Con forum high five!
PS: It's a little creepy Eveofabyss (henceforth called Eve by me, unless you're not cool with that >_>), we're following each other across threads!
-
We really need more FF cosplayers. So far it's turning out to be a FFVII Mock-Battle than just FF Mock-Battle XD
-
*Looks at updated list* OMG! It is >_>
We need to find a Kuja and a Vivi from FF VIIII lol
-
Final fantasy 7 ish the best though ^^
-
Arguable XD
My fav was FFV and X lol
-
Three Turks and a Tonberry against Barret, Cloud, Yuffie, Aeris, and two Tifas...somehow...I think AVALANCHE might win...so far...
WE NEED MORE SHINRA PEEPS!!!
-
XD Did shinra! you lazy bum! I know you dont really need that wheel chair XD
-
As proven in AC XD
-
Ehh...I'm lacking in the Playstation software, so Crisis Core is really the only part of the Final Fantasy franchise I've played.
VII has my vote? xD
...Oh, man. [/headdesk] We need more ShinRa people!

Here is one of the better ones I took >_>
I see an issue with the wig though. The netting is showing through....I wonder if I can fix that =/

Here is the emo one ;D
-
[/gasp] hujds,mdhbas,mruhwiekj
o_o
Ho snap.
EPIC.
Eh, I didn't notice until I read your post and was looking for it.
:/ Maybe adding some extensions in? >< That's pretty drastic, though. o.o You might ruin the wig.
EDIT:
[just saw the emo one]
GAH xD Love that one. x.x Really nice binding.
-
I have some extensions that might be the same color. I'll check. Good news! The extensions are the exact same color ;D So I will touch that up. Maybe >_>
Thanks ^_^ I personally think I could have taken better pictures but my mom isn't that great with the camera and Devin doesn't want to answer her phone, so maybe next weekend ;D
-
Nice cosplay! I'd say justice was served this day XD
-
-gasp- That's the best Cloud I've seen in a LONG TIME!! Way to go!! ^__^
you're an awesome Cloud!
-
Mrrr~ I can't wait for my Reno wig. Wonder how long it's been....
EDIT: Gah. Only been five business day. Supposed to take 10-25.
-
XD Nice. I guess you just have to wait a little longer. I think my next plan is to think of a few pictures I can do as Cloud >_>
I also need to do the same with Albel v.v
-
The wait would kill me >_>
Go RENO! Bash some Rudes for me!
-
xD Darn~
Hm. Well, you go to school in Portland, right?
Midgar/Edge has a very....city-esque feel about it, with lots of gray and blue tones. xD You could go take random pictures around Portland?
._. Always thought Portland in general would be a really good place for a FF shoot.
Seluecos: xD Of course!
>< Reno's so overdone, though. : | I need to be really good if I'm gonna stand out. :P
-
I agree with FFVII~lover (ariel lol)
nikkie you make an epic cloud!!
-
Maybe I'll just wait for the picnic then. Get some good shots then :P
-
Midgar/Edge has a very....city-esque feel about it, with lots of gray and blue tones. xD You could go take random pictures around Portland?
._. Always thought Portland in general would be a really good place for a FF shoot.
Portland does seem very Midgar/Edge-ish lol
-
yup I wish I could go to the picnic.
We should do an FF photoshoot in april!
-
Geez, I'm away for not even an hour and two pages are waiting for me! Y'all are crazy! ^_^
So, gotta catch up.
I have to agree that it is shaping up to be a FFVII Mock-Battle, and that's fine with me, heh. If we get cosplayers from other games, that is also awesome, but I can see plenty of fun that can be had with just the VII cosplayers we have right now.
And I also agree that Portland (on a nice gray day) does have the nice Edge/Midgar atmosphere. Hopefully it is cloudy weather during the photo shoot at Kumoricon. It would be so perfect!
-
I don't think my Tonberry will be done >_<
Even if it is, I may not have a way there T_T
I WILL TRY THOUGH! If this goes thru that is XD
-
Hm. ...I need to figure out when that picnic is. xD I think I'll take Nikkiolie's suggestion and go to that instead of the mall Hide and Seek. :p Especially since I missed out on the last one.
-
Oh, this event will definitely happen. And you still have a looot of time. This is not until Kumoricon, which is in September.
There's talk of other events goin on in here, so I will just clarify for those who are confused: The Mock-Battle/FF Photoshoot will happen at Kumoricon 2009, in September. Not the picnic, or any other event.
-
Oh, I meant the april shoot dark-rose suggested lol
-
Oh, didn't even see that.
Why would we do one in April?
-
yeah I know XD I just meant for fun in april, like a preview of what to look for at the con. Plus we can go over moves and such
-
Yeah sorry for making things confusing eve >_>
but I think we can do a mini photo shoot when we get together to practice :P
-
yayz hopefully in april or better yet MAY!!
I should set up a get together for my Birthday (only it would be the weekend and not on the actual day)
-
I might be able to go ^_^
Here's hoping! *Crosses fingers*
-
xD I would come to that. May, hm? .-. xD My birthday's in May as well.
When's yours?
-
So you want to try to do the Pre-Battle Walkthrough in April or May (instead of/in addition to the Battle Walkthrough in August)? That makes more sense. Would that work better for you because of your Japan trip, Rose?
-
I would be able to go, though it would be better if we could meet on a Friday or Sunday >_>
-
I probably can't go if it's on a weekday, unless I have vacation from school or something....
-
mine is may 13th
-
Well, I probably won't be doing anything this early. Whether you all get together or not, I am still going to be planning on having the Walkthrough in August. It just seems to be more reasonable, people will have more progress made on cosplay and things will be more prepared for Kumoricon.
But you all can do whatever you want.
-
well we don't have to be in costume to do a walkthrough >_> anyways it might not be a bad idea to do a few of them ;D
-
I agree. It will be nice to have a few practice rounds that way at the actual mock-battle, there won't be much confusion and everyone will know pretty much what to do. The less confusion the better ^_^
-
I agree with Eve. At least one walkthrough in August is good. That way, it'll be fresh in our minds.
Black~Rose: xD Aw, darn. May 24th here.
-
Okay, well whatever date you guys decide on in May for this pre-walkthrough, if I can do it I wll try to come. I'd want to be there since a lot of this is planning and stuff just in my head, lol.
And we will also just keep a day in August for the other Pre-Battle.
-
I'll do my best to make it to both pre-battles/walkthroughs. No guarantees though >_<
-
Same here.
I'm pretty positive I'll be going to the one in August, so worst case scenario, I'll at least be at one.
-
Alright I hope to be there as well. It would be a lot of fun. I can't wait X3
-
Gooooo ussss!
-
>< This is going to be so epic!
-
Indeed, I look forward to meeting everyone ^_^
-
I know I can't wait. I need to practice some skills :P
I also need to get my sword >_>;
-
@.@ I need to get started on Boomstick V2. :| I really don't think V.1 is con safe. @.@
-
I don't need skills. I just waddle and poke lol
-
xD And still get cheers!
-
I need ideas for what Katana can do, cause I have no idea what his skills are...does he even have any?
O_O help...
-
So did you all decide on a date in May when you are trying to do this?
I'll try to have my Barret fixed up by then.
-
Yee-ah! Go Tonberry! Probably the easiest thing to cosplay though >_>
Except maybe Reno (Just kidding Syd-chan!) XD
-
lol I'm just haveing a party thing in may
if you all want to practice at it thats fine ^^ but I will be trying my mello cosplay at my may 9th meetup
-
Woot! You best be munching on some chocolate (Who needs cake? XD)
-
I need ideas for what Katana can do, cause I have no idea what his skills are...does he even have any?
O_O help...
Well, just judging from his character description, I would see him as fighting very quickly, like a thief-type only more offensive. So, with the lack of any specific attacks or specials, you could always just flit about and slash at people. Or make stuff up since they didn't specify anything. What kind of special attacks could you see him doing?
-
Yee-ah! Go Tonberry! Probably the easiest thing to cosplay though >_>
Except maybe Reno (Just kidding Syd-chan!) XD
xD Ah, nah, I agree. Reno's pretty easy to cosplay. You just gotta separate yourself! xD You either win or fail as Reno. You just gotta hope that people set you apart from the people with a Turk suit, brown hair, no goggles, messily-markered tattoos/scars, and brown hair who are calling themselves Reno. Just real simple things. Like his earring or the fact that his shirt is buttoned straight to the top. .-. I would like to not fail, personally.
FFVII~Lover: I agree with EveofAbyss. He seems very quick when attacking. Personality wise, he looks like he has a very subtle sense of humour. Not someone who's going to go emo and make sarcastic remarks at every chance, or 'LESSGOOUTDRINKIN'. More of a nice medium.
Maybe more along the lines of a certain smart remark?
Laid back Tseng, almost?
-
Hey, that works for him lol
-
XD >w< I'm so excited!
-
I'm about to 'splode from excitement >_>
-
Eve/Syd~
Considering Katana has a soft spot for beauty, I think I'm going to incorporate some of that in his attacks. Graceful moves and stuff like that. I'll have to practice and come up with ideas. I might actually make a limit break XD
-
It will be like tuxedo mask! or marly! XD
-
Hahaha, Tuxedo Mask FTW
-
You know, I could take Marluxia's and Tuxedo Mask's personalities and combine them with Tseng...that sounds about right for Katana...right? XD
-
god this is going to be a lot of fun. We need a professional photographer there to get some epic pictures. So if anyone knows one...
-
we don't know yet. That is why no one answered
-
no problem. We may do one during black rose's birthday party (another topic under this board)
-
Dana, if nothing else, there will still be a Pre-Battle Walkthrough in August. That will be the main one to aim for, I'd suggest.
god this is going to be a lot of fun. We need a professional photographer there to get some epic pictures. So if anyone knows one...
And you totally reminded me, my friend Dani is a pretty professional photographer. She's not a nerd or anything, but she's one of my best buds so I'm sure I could get her to help us out. ^_^ I'll have to ask her.
-
Sounds like a plan ;D
-
Eve/Syd~

haha, awesome. I can't wait to see the moves and mannerisms you will come up with. Have fun! When things aren't specified, people have free reign to be creative!
-
yush we can do a walk through at my party but I will be trying out my mello cosplay at it XD so it would be mello acting like tifa XD
-
haha, Mello cosplaying as Tifa. So that's what he does in his down time!
-
XD He probly has matt, L, or near be cloud for him lol
-
Prolly does XD
-
Like I said, in the walkthroughs the costumes don't matter. It is just to get an idea of what we will be doing. Like for play rehearsal you don't have to wear the costume :P as you get closer to the show you might >_>;
-
lol, that means I could wear my Shino cosplay if I get it in time! And stab people! XD
-
Yeah, good point, Nikkiolie. So, whenever you all get a date set, I will try to schedule it in. If possible, let's aim for late afternoon, otherwise I can't do it. I will be there in August though.
-
just to get an idea what we will be doing.
-
We want to do at least one Pre-Battle/Walkthrough to establish the rules and ideas to everyone. That's what she is talking about, Dana.
-
plus it will give people an idea if they really want to do something like that >_>
-
Yeah, I'm hoping nobody would be scared off by the idea of it when they actually see it in action, haha. It is such a blast once you really get into it, it takes cosplay to a whole new level.
And watching it over and over again years later is just as fun (if only I had filmed the Mock-Battle from '07, T_T).
-
Yeah I'm sure it will be a blast. It would be great if we filmed the practice runs as well. Kinda like a making the video XD
-
XD I gots a video camera! ^^
-
Cool, heh. I've got my digicam also.
-
Filming would be a fun idea ^_^
-
That was the original plan, we wanted to film it so we can add effects and goodies to it afterward.
-
I still think that is the plan ;D
-
Good. ^_^
-
Nice. I hope it all turns out well ^_^
-
OKAY!! sorry for this off topic post,
but I am getting a hotel room for the con and I need an 18 year old or older to stay in the room with me and my friends. I need it to be a girl though cuz my dad is picky about that sort of thing... and You would be staying with us for free cus me and my friends are paying.
-
Hey this seems like a lot of fun, count me in
You now have a Red XIII
Really looking forward to it ;D
-
YAY a Red 13!!
-
YAY a Red 13!!
Yeah, apparently they're rare, I don't get it.
I don't care if I freeze either it's just such a fun cosplay
I'm wearing it to Sakura-con this year, yay ;D
-
yay aahh I'm freaking out about hotel room thing gah -twitch- I need an 18 year old!!
-
yay aahh I'm freaking out about hotel room thing gah -twitch- I need an 18 year old!!
I'd room with you, but I'm 16.
My friend can't go and she was the only other girl so I'm looking for other options because I don't want to room with 2 guys, they're friends, well one is, but, well, yeah obvious reasons, showering being one of them, lol.
-
lol yeah I need an adult aaagg I wish I was an adult, life would be much easier
-
No kidding.
-
-_- it really sucks cuz I'm turning 17 so I'm ALMOST withing reach of being an adult
-

Is it just you and a friend? I really don't want to be in a room with more than 5 people.
-
me, gordon, and possibly momo
-
actually aurical offered to stay with me too and ariel is planning to stay with me as well. So that might be too many people for you ^^;;
-
Yeah I would like to only have about four people in a room >_> so you might want to go with the other offer.
-
oh wait.. nevermind Aurical can stay and shes 18 and I have lots of ppl staying with me lol so its taken care of ^^;; sorry, but thank you for offering ^^
-
No problem. I think I really only want me and Devin in a room >_>
We'll see though :P
back on track XD So we got one practice run during your b-day party right?
-
yeah ^^
OH! and my friend gordon wants to be kadaj for this ^^
-
Cool, we have a Red XIII! Can't wait to see it! ^_^
-
yeah ^^
OH! and my friend gordon wants to be kadaj for this ^^
that would be sweet. I would have someone to fight ;D
-
Cool, we have a Red XIII! Can't wait to see it! ^_^
I can't wait to wear it, I'll be wearing it a Sakura-con and the wait till then is killing me, urg. I hate waiting for conventions. Especially when I'm not finishing a cosplay at 2am the night before, lol.
-
Yeah waiting for conventions can be a bit of a pain in the butt. My costumes are done now all I need is for time to pass faster >_<
-
Yeah waiting for conventions can be a bit of a pain in the butt. My costumes are done now all I need is for time to pass faster >_<
Yes, and time is about to start passing even slower, I'm getting a tutor today (I've been out of school for 3 months for medical reasons)
-
Gah, I hate waiting too lol. When the only thing you're lookig forward to is some time away, things...get annoying XD
-
xD Gah. At least there's meetups, though. :p
-
Yes, they are what get me through the long months in between.
-
Yeah, I can't wait for Kumoricon to get here, but like I said before, I'm glad for the time, as I still have stuff to work on. Haven't started anything yet, heh, but maybe over Spring Break I will.
Oh, and Black~Rose, your friend Gordon said he wants to be Kadaj, is that a sure thing? If so I will add him to the list in the first post.
-
Wait..did I read the list right? We have a Red XIII? AWESOME!
-
Yeah, someone is doing a humanized Red XIII, which I will admit isn't my favorite way to do it, but still pretty awesome and better than nothing! ;D
-
Still cool XD
I wouldn't want to go around on all fours all day either lol
-
I think it shows more creativity :P
-
Heh, thanks.
But I must say, full body paint is not the easiest way to go, but it's worth it, lol.
-
I almost want to do an Alraune cosplay next year now XD
I could Tamackle people (Term used for when an Alraune, with likeness to a tomato, tackles you XD)
-
;D I like it, made up words are the best.
-
Heh, thanks.
But I must say, full body paint is not the easiest way to go, but it's worth it, lol.
Yeah, that's cool that you're really going all out for the costume. Good luck! It will be so awesome to have a full party, which it looks like we might. We'll have Barret, Aeris, Yuffie, Tifa, Cloud, Red XIII...we just need Vincent, Cait Sith, and Cid! (That is unless Makichan decides to cosplay as Cait sith this year! *pleasepleaseplease do!*)
-
I may have a Cid coming ;D
-
No weeeeiiigh! Sweet! Is it someone from your school?
-
Yay, I hope we can have a full group too, I shall huggle Cait Sith if we get one ;D
-
haha, I'd say we'd have to get a picture of her riding on your back, but maybe that wouldn't work, lol.
-
Well, that depends on who is cosplaying it. I'm not the biggest person, it'd be hilarious if I was riding on their back. It probably could be done either way, I'm kinda strong.
-
heh, nice. Maybe we can just use some trick photography, lol.
Even if that doesn't happen, this is looking to be the best Kumoricon for FF Cosplay in quite a long time!
-
I know! I cant wait ^^
-
Yup, definitely. Urrg, why won't my wigs arrive, rawr. I need to style the Red XIII wig and I need time to mess up and stuff before Sakura con.
-
Wait...we're getting a Nanaki and Cait Sith? O_O
YAY! SO EPIC!!
wait....NUUU!! The Turks are even more outnumbered ;__;
I don't think Reno, Cissnei and Katana can take on all of AVALANCHE...Where's Tseng when you need him? -__-
-
lol we win XD
OH and by the way I started another countdown thread XD because I'm so excited
http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=9777.msg370754#msg370754
its also a countdown for school ending just to make it more reasonable lol
-
Avalanche will always beat the dirty Shinra lapdogs!
-
Ack, FF VII mock battle now >_<
We need other FF chars...Where are Kuja cosplayers? Seymour, Garland, and other FF bad guys too!
Oh hey, I could be a monster instead of a summon, that'd help even things out. Also, Reno does take 3 members of AVALANCHE head on and does a decent job, by that number, Turks only need like, 5 people XD
-
We kick all of your inferior asses
RED XIII: RAWRRRRR!!!!! Idiots
lol
in other news, I got my chii wig, great, now i just have to modify it, it's down to my thighs, ahhh.
-
lol sweet XD
I like the turks though so its quite a prediciment for meh ^^;; in avalanch I would likely be pretty neutral
-
Avalanche will always beat the dirty Shinra lapdogs!
8D Pay is pay, yo.
-
lol, why all the complaints about it being a VII mock-battle? If other cosplayers show up, then of course it will change, but with everyone who is here being from VII, it makes sense for now.
-
GO EVE!! VII ROCKS!!
-
YESSS. xD ...Wonder if any random civilians will come up and be all "....wtf?" during our rehearsals and stuff.
-
Most likely, but with it being in Portland a lot of people are used to street performers and public exhibitions, so most know to at least stay out of the way and just watch, heh.
-
xD Really? Gah, I think I've only seen one street performer. >< I need to get to the city more. xD EDIT: Oh, that reminds me. >< Did you guys ever come up with a location for the August meetup? :/ It's pretty far away, though.
-
Yeah, Portland's full of them, haha. Keep Portland Weird is the phrase after all.
So a bunch of people fighting in costume shouldn't be too far off the radar for most.
-
xD That's amazing!
Ah, I knew we had one coming up. @.@ Just couldn't remember when.
-
As for the main meet-up in August, we were thinking maybe just some park or some central location. Either that, or we could meet-up at the Hilton (where the con will be) and take a walk through the area and see where we would want to do it. Either Pioneer Square or one of the parks in the area.
-
Sorry....went to see Watchmen again...anything important happen? ^_^
-
xD Really? Gah, I think I've only seen one street performer. >< I need to get to the city more. xD EDIT: Oh, that reminds me. >< Did you guys ever come up with a location for the August meetup? :/ It's pretty far away, though.
May 9th at Black~Rose's (I forgot your name D:) B-day Party.
There's a thread in the Plan Adventure board somewhere~
my name is mandy ^^
-
I knew that :P
-
@ Danyoki ~ XD I am so bad at names so don't worry about it. I Know your name cuz momo says it a lot and your forum name sounds like it too so it helps.
-
:P I'm also terrible at names. >> But, nice to meet you Mandy! xD [/points] I'm obviously Syd.
Eve: Ah, okay. Eh, it depends on whatever's most convenient for you guys. xD It's pretty much all the same distance for me.
Nikkiolie: xD I don't blame you, it was amazing. Eh, anything important? xD Not really.
-
Alright good to know ;D
-
Yeah, well as for a location of the meetup in August, it is my personal preference that we meet at the hotel (the Downtown Hilton) and scope the area as a group, see what people prefer. I know there are a couple parks in the area, there is Pioneer Square, there are a few possibilities for location, but I think checking it out as a group before Kumoricon, during this meetup, would be the best plan.
***And Kahlan just brought this to my attention, but both of us are also planning to do Final Fantasy VIII cosplays for Kumoricon, so, we had a suggestion as for how to properly schedule things so we can fit both our cosplays into these events. We're doing our FFVII for this mock-battle, that's already decided. And we would like to do our FFVIII cosplays for the Final Fantasy Photo Shoot. So, how does everyone feel about making the Mock-Battle separate and at a different time from the Final Fantasy Shoot? I know this may contradict what I suggested a while back, but hopefully you all can work with this idea. ^_^ So, Mock-Battle and Photo Shoot separate, yeah? Does anyone think it is a possibility? I know things are still a long way off, but I want to make sure we can have things working without a hitch.

that is not a bad idea. I was thinking about doing another early con would you like to do this the same time or let it have it's own meet-up? If we did it during the early con we could raise the interest a little with people who aren't participating but it could distract us from getting things done.
It's up to you ^_^
-
Yeah, I think having the walkthrough during the Pre-Con Meetup isn't a bad idea. What all do you think would need done? If there is a lot to do, then I wouldn't want to distract you or anyone from those goals, but if we can fit it in, it may be a fun thing to do and a nice use of time.
Also, just to clarify, I still want to have the Mock-Battle during Kumoricon, just at a different time from the Shoot. Just to clarify, heh.
-
Well there isn't really a whole lot we would do at the pre-con. Walk through the hotel, maybe have Tom give us a tour again. Eat something afterwords then work on this?
-
Sounds like a plan to me. ^_^
So we'd do the pre-con sometime in August, a few weeks ahead of time like last year?
-
yeah that is what I was thinking ;D
-
Cool, works for me. ^_^ I like the pre-con, it was fun last year.
-
Yeah it was a lot of fun. I just wasn't sure what we could do after seeing the hotel since there wasn't a mall close by....or at least one with a skating rink, but this worked out quite well ;D
-
Yep, we can check out the hotel and then scope out the area for a battle arena, lol. We can find the location for Golden Saucer's Battle Square!
-
that would be pretty sweet ;D
-
so a squall outfit magickally appeared and arranged itself together in my closet ((I love my magick closet, I REALLY REALLY love my magick closet ^^)) so do you have a squall yet?
-
We do not, but we'd love to have one!
So how'd you come about this magic closet? I'll have to get me one! ^_^
-
Awesome.
As for the closet I'm not entirely sure where it came from, its pretty awesome tho. The squall jacket it gave me even had the white fluffy thingy, I love that closet like a brother LOL.
((Its awesome when the universe gives you free stuff ^^))
-
haha, awesome. Good luck getting the rest of the costume put together!
-
the pants are there now and ((tho I hate admitting haveing to have paid for something)) I did buy the necklace a while ago. Now I just have to hope that my hair grows out enough to get it cut before all of this ^^
-

Ah, well sounds like you've got it coming along nicely. Still plenty of time for hair growing, too.
And you won't be alone as an VIII cosplayer, at least, not if you show up to the Final Fantasy Photo Shoot. My fiance and I will be there as Laguna and Ward, respectively.
-
I'm excited To scope out the area ^^ that would be fun!
-
Yeah! I'm really excited for it too. ^_^
-
yeah that sounds about right....
-
Yeah, you've got it, Dana. Sorry things are kind of confusing. Simply put, the Pre-Battle/Pre-Con will meet at the Hilton in August. Then, during Kumoricon, there will be two events: The FF Shoot and the FF Battle.
-
awesome
-
Yeah, you've got it, Dana. Sorry things are kind of confusing. Simply put, the Pre-Battle/Pre-Con will meet at the Hilton in August. Then, during Kumoricon, there will be two events: The FF Shoot and the FF Battle.
Alright then that sounds good. I'll put up a topic for the early con after school gets out ;D
-
Okie, I'll let you do that. ^_^
-
God I am so looking forward to this. I want to get some awesome pictures of our group.
-
Yeah, for sure. That is one of the main things I have always wanted out of cosplay that I have rarely achieved: pro shots (individual or group). I think we can get that this year. ^_^
-
The FF shoot and the FF battle will be consecutive events right?
-
The FF shoot and the FF battle will be consecutive events right?
there has to be enough time in between for some of us to change. eve and i want to do different costumes for both events >.>
-
Yeah, we're not sure if they will be consecutive. It all depends on the schedule that gets made. At the moment, we just want them to be at different times. That could mean an hour between, a day between, who knows? It's up in the air.
-
We SOOOOOO need a pro photographer to take our pictures XD
-
I still am trying to get a hold of my friend Dani, but I am 99% sure she would be glad to help us out.
-
yush well I'm wearing the same outfit for both so yeah. I just want to make sure I have time to fit my other cosplays in lol
-
This sounds like it's coming along very nicely. I can't wait! I just need to paint one of the wooden katanas I have and then I'm done with his costume!
-
I still am trying to get a hold of my friend Dani, but I am 99% sure she would be glad to help us out.
ALRIGHT! That will be so sweet. I want to get some nice pictures of Cloud. I will make sure to get some nice ones of my Cloud and Devin's Vincent too :P
-
We got a pro to take pictures of our sand sibs but he has had issues with his site so he is behind on uploading pictures =/
-
yeah I guess that would work too. Devin is quite good at taking pictures. She did my Albel ones.
-
Yeah other than the three new ones she took those ;D
-
Yeah, Dani knows a lot about photography and has had pretty extensive experience on both sides of the camera, so she is definitely a good person to work with. ^_^ I'm stoked!
-
I am too, this is going to be a lot of fun ^_^
-
I might be in for this if it is all FF character and not just 7 like I was thinking originally. I'd bring my White Mage if that was acceptable.
-
Hell yes!
-
sweet! You have good connections eve.
-
on the event that they cant let me know. my friend deydra is going to kumocon and shes a prof photographer, i doubt shes as good but its something ^^
-
Huzzah, well I will plan on coming as long as I get an ok from Eve as he seems to be running this. And if I go there's a good chance that my boyfriend will come with his Black Mage too. Neither of ours are from a certain game, just some weird japanese fanart we found but the are indeed recognizable.
-
Eve is ok with it. Anyone from any FF game is allowed to participate.
-
Yup, glad I have a second mouth here to answer for me when I'm gone. ^_^ (I'm just playing, Nikkiolie, haha) but yeah, of course I'm down with it. The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. It will be great to have so many different FF cosplayers, allows for some fun variety. And I am fan of your White Mage costume. From what I've seen, it is really impressive.
-
yeah it is for any FF character but the majority of them are from 7 >_>
-
7. Bah. overrated. don't get all upset peoples, i too loved the game. But you cannot write your thesis on FFVII ^^
-
lol, whatever.
Anyway, we are expanding, yeah there's a lot of VII cosplayers, but like I keep saying, it's not like any of us are asking for VII cosplayers, that is just the pattern of cosplayers who had showed up first.
As for non-VII cosplayers, let's see...we have: Squall, Black Mage, White Mage, Tonberry...things are branching out, so...yeah, give it time if it really bothers you, lol.
-
im not saying that it bothers me. its a little to non-important for it to bother me. so people like 7, no big. i liked 7. and im not really complaining. more like... random thinking outloud
*giggles* pony...
-
I would cosplay Rinoa one day >_> not any time soon though =/
-
Yeah, Kahlan and I are also planning to cosplay as Laguna and Ward, not for this Mock-Battle, but for the Shoot. So, we will be wearing VIII cosplays at some point in the weekend.
-
awesome. my closet likes 8 ^^
I found 8 in my closet. I think it was bingeing. kinda reminds me of the time i found chrono cross in my magick closet. i hadn't ever bought it rent it borrowed it or even heard of it but i do thank my closet for the gift ^^
-
Yeah, Kahlan and I are also planning to cosplay as Laguna and Ward, not for this Mock-Battle, but for the Shoot. So, we will be wearing VIII cosplays at some point in the weekend.
I am looking forward to that as well ^_^
-
Yeah, I didn't realize until today that my character is mute, lol....so that should be interesting.
-
XD yeah that should be interesting
-
Yeah, I didn't realize until today that my character is mute, lol....so that should be interesting.
lol. one of those types that refuses to break character?
-
I was planning to cosplay rinoa someday since I pull off tifa well ^^ but it would be in the future lol
-
Yeah, I didn't realize until today that my character is mute, lol....so that should be interesting.
lol. one of those types that refuses to break character?
Yeah, I actually try really hard to stay in character when in cosplay. That is the full experience to me, it isn't just putting clothing on, it is becoming that character. That's my take on it anyway.
-

I think that would look good on you, Rose. ^_^
-

I must attempt this. Such would be awesome
-
I know it definitely makes me respect a cosplayer more when I see them being in character. It adds a whole new level.
-
I was pretty faust character... i think i can pull off my zetta cos character. As for jim while i did love outlaw star I dont think that any of the characters actually went in depth enough to be in character :(
-
heh, Being in character can be as simple as talking like them or using a phrase that the character uses. It's just about the effort and the accuracy.
-
hm... i had no idea. i am interested in learning more *nods*
-
I'd suggest checking out cosplay documentaries or videos on youtube. Pretty much anything that follows a professional cosplayer will give you a glimpse into what it's like to aim for this in-character mindset.
-
haha, then it doesn't have to that hard, heh.
-
It wasn't too hard to be Temari XD
Cloud should be kinda easy. Maybe I can be Cloud at the end of the movie :P
-
heh, I'm post-credits Cloud, the version you don't see...when he's all giddy with the childrens!
-
Heh, it'll be really hard to be in character for Red...Rawr, lol.
I'm the kind of person who squeaks and jumps when some surprises them. That's why I like Chii so much, not much change.
But, I guess it's time to put all those theater classes to work.
-
Well, Red XIII doesn't say much at all in AC, he has one line, lol.
Red is a very solemn character, though. That is one facet of him that comes out very strongly.
-
No, Yuffie is pretty "regular" compared to most of the characters. She's very bubbly, energetic, happy-go-lucky. Perfect character for cosplay, heh.
-
That's what I figured, heh, I just have this feeling you'll make the perfect Yuffie. ^_^
-
Well, Red XIII doesn't say much at all in AC, he has one line, lol.
Red is a very solemn character, though. That is one facet of him that comes out very strongly.
That's what I'm worried about, I'm bubbly and ditzy and, think Tohru from Fruits Basket and you're spot on, lol.
-
But doing a humanized version of a character, people are automatically going to assume that you're going to be going for a spunky, peppy personality. It matches the humanized costume. Don't worry, nobody is going to be holding you to these weird standards, heh
-
Yeah, but as a Thespian it's hard not trying, I'll be probably more of a "lets do this thing" attitude, but I will probably have a tinkerbell blanket with me (there's not much to the cosplay), that'll be a sight.
-
lol, well, you'll have all of our support, of course. You'll be welcomed warmly.
-
I'd hope so, that's why I go to the conventions, lol.
-
Ah, I don't know what I'll do. Act mage-y I suppose? I guess I can kind of make up something since my character is so generalized and doesn't have a set personality.
-
I didn't mean to make it sound like everyone has to be in character for them to gain my respect. I love all y'all just for doing FF cosplay, heh. Didn't mean to pressure anybody. ;D
-
Oh, I just supposed this was getting into "How we are to act during filming" ha ha. I tend to cosplay things that my personality already matches so it isn't that hard to get into character.
-
Yeah, that's cool. With me, I tend to just be naturally drawn to characters that already act very similar to me. Barret is just over-the-top with his blunt, forceful speech, but we're basically the same. I still try to make sure I'm in character, though.
But yeah, I'm not asking anyone to do anything for this, just do what you like, heh. We'll go over the details about the mock-battle at the pre-battle/walkthrough. I was just saying that I personally like being in character.
-
I do to, I love acting the part for any cosplay.
Side note: Rawr, I hate waiting for the cosplay chess placement for s-con, I think the waiting will kill me, heh. And it's only been a week since the registration closed, wow impatience stinks, lol.
-
I like tifa's personality. She is pretty happy and bubbly but at the same time she's very strong and independent ^^
-
Yeah, I think Tifa is probably one of FF's strongest female figures, one of the best role models for young women.
And Cid is totally the role model for young men. Cuss and drink, kiddies! lol
-
I would say Tifa would be one of the few girls I cosplay :P
-
Curious, Nikkiolie, why would you say it is you prefer crossplaying as guys? Is it because you see a lack in female characters that appeal to you? Or something else?
-
Ehhhh, Reno personality. xD I'm normally pretty random, but a lot of people are at conventions. >< I'll need to be thinking of witty things to say, since I'm cosplaying FF VII Reno. :/ A little darker than Advent Children, I think. >> Also, I need to figure out if I'm going to use the 'zo to/yo' speech thing. xD
Nikkiolie: xD I don't blame you. Tifa's pretty awesome!
-
yush ^^ thats why my main cosplay is tifa lol and I will continue to be tifa forever ^^ But I might end up getting a new tifa cosplay sometime lol.
-
xD I am in love with your Tifa cosplay. x.x So amazing.
-

Nikkiolie: xD I don't blame you. Tifa's pretty awesome!
I'm so in the dark about this...what is this "zo to/yo speech" I keep hearing people mention when talking about Reno?
-

I'm so in the dark about this...what is this "zo to/yo speech" I keep hearing people mention when talking about Reno?
xD It's fine! I actually didn't know until I saw it and went back and watched the movie again. When the movie's in Japanese, it's my understanding that he says "zo to" after most sentences, almost like "dattebayo" for Naruto (but cooler [/shot'd] ). They didn't do anything for this in the English dub, but a fansubbing service used "yo" in place for "zo to" in the subtitles. It just...kind of stuck. xD
-
Ah, so must be some degree of casual/slang dialect particle endings. Fun, heh
So does that mean you'd speak in strictly Japanese? Or would you add it to the end of English sentences? lol
-
xD Yup!
Ehhh, not sure about that one yet. xD Maybe no strictly Japanese sentences JUST yet~ >> Well, I don't want to be all "YOGAIZZ. YO. WAZZUP, YO? ZO TO, YO. ....YO" all the time. o.< xD So, I think I may just have to figure out what works for me.
-
Curious, Nikkiolie, why would you say it is you prefer crossplaying as guys? Is it because you see a lack in female characters that appeal to you? Or something else?
I guess the female characters don't appeal to me but most of the guys do.....O.O secretly I want to be a guy XD (total joke)
-
@ Syd ~ Thankyou ^^
-
Curious, Nikkiolie, why would you say it is you prefer crossplaying as guys? Is it because you see a lack in female characters that appeal to you? Or something else?
O.O secretly I want to be a guy XD (total joke)
Scary thought, lol
But yeah, that makes sense. If I ever come across someone who I think would fit you well (and wouldn't require you to bind or do anything strenuous) I will pass it your way, heh.
-
I may steal Devin's Tifa one day and she can wear my Cloud XD
-
XD cloud and tifa switch ZOMG! What if you steal her tifa outfit but keep the cloud wig on and have her in clouds outfit with tifas hair? XD it would be a funny sight to see.
-
heh, that's a switch that would actually work, I bet. Like Black~Rose said, you could do some crazy partial switch, like the pic in my signature or something wacky, lol.
Oh, so is Devin doing AC Tifa or game version?
My personal bias would lead me to hope for a game version Tifa, but either one is great.
-
I think the plan is that she is going to do CC, game, and AC Tifa....in that order >_>
-
Wow, quite the workload! Is she planning all that for this year? Well, can't wait to see her costumes. She'll be the first person I've seen as CC Tifa (and I think game is my favorite), so I will be looking forward to that. ^_^
-
That was the latest plan I heard. I think she said for the picnic she was going to go as CC Tifa.
-
Ah, gotcha. Well, I've said it before, this is looking to be a fantastic year for FF, both in cosplay and other ways.
-
There might be a CC Tifa at the picnic? O_O ZOMG YES!!!
-
You'll have to be sure to get some pics, in case she doesn't wear it for Kumoricon.
-
yeah it should be a lot of fun ;D
YES I will have two Tifa's XD
You'll have to be sure to get some pics, in case she doesn't wear it for Kumoricon.
Of Devin, you should get pics yourself because you should go to the picnic >_>
-
I'm bringing my camera for both the picnic and the mock battle so no worries ^^ I'll take alot of pics of everyone lol and maybe even some videos ^__^
-
yeah it should be a lot of fun ;D
YES I will have two Tifa's XD
You'll have to be sure to get some pics, in case she doesn't wear it for Kumoricon.

We'll see, heh
-
I'm bringing my camera for both the picnic and the mock battle so no worries ^^ I'll take alot of pics of everyone lol and maybe even some videos ^__^
Yeah, I will definitely have my camera for the Mock-Battle.
-
yay pics and videos ^^ It sucks that I cant be at the picnic V_V But I will be haveing fun on the vacation so yeah, I look forward to seeing pics of CC tifa ^^ I'm not brave enough to show that much skin yet lol. Mostly cuz I need to tone my abdomen before I'll even think about showing it.
-
With Tifa being your foundational cosplay, I think it'd be really cool to see you branch out to her other forms, eventually anyway. ^_^
-
yeah that would be pretty sweet I agree :P
-
Just like sometime I want to cosplay as Sailor-Disguise Barret, haha
-
^^ I will once I lose enough weight and get a toned belly
-
Just like sometime I want to cosplay as Sailor-Disguise Barret, haha
O.O OMG YOU HAVE TO DO THAT!
-
^^ I will once I lose enough weight and get a toned belly
Good luck. ^_^
Just like sometime I want to cosplay as Sailor-Disguise Barret, haha
O.O OMG YOU HAVE TO DO THAT!
Yeah, I really want to. One of these years. Next year I am going to be working on game-version Barret, so maybe the year after that I will try Sailor Barret. Glad to know I have the support, though, heh
-
I loved Barret's sailor disguise!! That was one of my best memories from playing the game ^^ (next to Cloud in a dress XD)
I would love to see you cosplay as that!!
-
XD yay sailor barret!!!
and I agree, cloud in a dress was epic.. mabey someday I'll do tifas wallmarket dress 0.0 I dont need a toned belly for that one ^^
I also wanna do aeriths wallmarket dress cuz its red and prettyfull 0w0
-
I've only seen one group cosplaying as Wallmarket Tifa, Aeris, and Cloud, and it was amazing. I'd love to see it done more, though.
And yay, good reception for the Sailor idea. I'll definitely keep it on my list of to-do's then. ^_^
-
Oh god what I wouldn't give to see a Don Corneo cosplayer XD
LMAO
-
XD the pimp?
-
It'd be the most pervy cosplayer ever...and he'd become the new Man-Faye and get banned everywhere, lol.
But it would be worth it, haha
-
XD we should make gordon be him XD
-
XD the pimp?
Well, not quite. The "Don", mob-guy, ladies' man, overall perv with the mansion in the Wall Market, heh
-
XD we should make gordon be him XD
Could he pull off a blond Mohawk? lol
-
XD we should make gordon be him XD
Could he pull off a blond Mohawk? lol
no but it would be hilarious XD
-
it would be funny
-
XD you met him at the dance didnt you? lmao
-
you could always have him do it and follow you around all weekend flirting like a madman, lol
Might get creepy/annoying, though haha
-
XD you met him at the dance didnt you? lmao
yeah I did ^_^
-
we are a tag team for hilarity so I drag him everywhere I can XD
-
Sounds like that would be a perfect pair cosplay for you two, if not in looks (on his part) just in personality, heh. Wallmarket Tifa and Don Corneo, lol
*Oh, and I updated the first post list of cosplayers, if anyone's name isn't on there let me know and I will add it or make necessary changes. ^_^
-
Whoo~ I am on the list.
I just thought I'd post in here too that I have only two more small things to do for my White Mage. I'm pretty happy. I need to start looking through some games to see somethings I can do for both photos and the filmings.
-
Sounds like that would be a perfect pair cosplay for you two, if not in looks (on his part) just in personality, heh. Wallmarket Tifa and Don Corneo, lol
*Oh, and I updated the first post list of cosplayers, if anyone's name isn't on there let me know and I will add it or make necessary changes. ^_^
I don't think I need to check for my name >_> I'm sure it is on there XD
-
I might do that next year for tifa ^^ wallmarket tifa would be awsome for dances.
I really want to see a wallmarket cloud XD
-
Yeah....I might be up for it >_> I would have to make the dress though....I MIGHT be able to find one at Goodwill that is close enough
-
awsome XD
-
It would be great if we could get the whole group....and by the whole group I mean the three of them :P
-
yeah it would be pretty sweet ^^
-
I wonder who we could get to go as Aeris >_>
-
I could convince Kahlan to cosplay as Wallmarket Aeris. ^_^
-
that might be a pretty sweet group :P
-
sweet, I love aerith's wallmarket dress ^^ its so pretty
-
that should be our plan for k-con 2010 ;D
-
^^ sweetness!
-
i'd cosplay wall market aeris for that group >.O
-
haha, maybe for that year I'd do Sailor Barret since we'd be doing costumed costumes, haha
-
i'd cosplay wall market aeris for that group >.O
Alright then we possibly have some costume for next year? XD
-
yup looks like it XD
I can just get a blue dress at good will and alter it for this lol (cuz I still dont understand sewing zippers >.<)
-
yeah I'll need a blue dress as well....but the one I will need is a little more....old fashion -_-;
-
XD frilly blue dress, you might find one around halloween. Like little bow peep sort of stuff
-
yeah...I'll keep an eye out for it :P
-
yeah I'll need a blue dress as well....but the one I will need is a little more....old fashion -_-;
Actually, Cloud's Wallmarket Dress is purple. ^_^ There's a great illustration of it in the unofficial guide by Ultima. We can get you a shot of it if you want, but yeah, Cloud's is purple.
-
I'll the ones I have seen have been blue >_>; I see....it's right in between purple and blue
http://cosplay.sweetvenus.org/pictures/cloud-wallmarket/_thm/_1.jpg
-
Yeah, I think I may be a bit off in my eyes. I've always seen that color as pretty rich purple...may need eye-work, lol
-
Plus artwork always looks different from game play >_>;
-
Gameplay Wallmarket Cloud looked purple to me too. I'm pretty sure it was a dark purple. Like the purple in your Albel cosplay.
-
yup its purple lol
-
Ah, it's not just me then. ^_^
I'm excited for the year I can see this Wallmarket group, heh.
-
well the purple in the Albel costume can look blue at times XD
-
Ah, maybe different angles or lighting can affect it. *shrugs*
-
Yeah....anyways....I will do it some time :P Just like I WILL cosplay Kuja XD
-
Well I look forward to both. ^_^
-
not sure how soon I will cosplay Kuja but it will happen. Cloud is likely to happen next year...it shouldn't be too hard....though I may have to get another wig to do the braids >_>
-
Yeah, Cloud's girl wig is so cute, lol, it seems pretty simple though.
-
yeah basically his normal hair with braids at the bottom :P
nvm ^_^
-
yup lol as if he had a mullet or something XD
-
yup. I figured I would just get another wig and wear it under that....or use my own hair XD
-
your hair is blond, It would work perfectly for the braids ^^ and wearing two wigs would probably be uncomfortable 0.0
-
yeah it would be. So maybe as it gets closer to the time next year I'll just get my hair dyed to match the wig. I think it will only slightly be off from what it is now.
O.O I just thought of something really cool....if only I could have the dress made so that I could rip it off and be ready for battle XD
-
That'd be pretty fantastic. You could even whirl around as you take it off like Cloud does, haha
-
THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS!!! XD haveing it like snap button up or velcro would work.
-
Yeah, I'm sure it would be pretty simple to make it a tear-away dress by just leaving one side open and having velcro connecting that whole side.
lol, you'd be such a cos-star if you did that.
-
Yeah....but it would be bulky because I would have his outfit on underneath >_>
-
Oooh yeah...forgot about that, lol
-
Yeah...but otherwise it would be very sweet.
though it would be funny just to watch him fight in a dress XD
-
If we could find some people to cosplay as various goons, we could have Wallmarket Cloud vs. Don Corneo's Goons, haha
-
XD that would be awsome
-
Wouldn't be hard to do either, since the Goons are just various punks and thugs.
I'd actually love to see that at this event. ^_^
-
It would be awesome. I want to do that now XD
-
Oh, it must happen now, heh. I think we could make it happen for the Mock-Battle (of whichever year you choose to wear this cosplay).
-
it may be next year....also I am putting some serious consideration into cosplay Kuja next year >_>; I would buy the costume and alter it a little bit.
Some great news though, the sword I though was going to weigh about 50 pounds should only weigh about 6 ^_^ So I really don't need to beef up my arms too much...they look a little muscular now so just a little more work and they should be fine ;D
-
Yeah, there are some seriously authentic replicas out there. It's pretty impressive. ^_^
And yay, Kuja! What are you planning to change about it?
-
it may be next year....also I am putting some serious consideration into cosplay Kuja next year >_>; I would buy the costume and alter it a little bit.
Some great news though, the sword I though was going to weigh about 50 pounds should only weigh about 6 ^_^ So I really don't need to beef up my arms too much...they look a little muscular now so just a little more work and they should be fine ;D
(BTW, you know how Cloud's sword are various swords put together? I actually saw one that could split into different swords like that 8D
Although it was 500 bucks...)
its just one sword, I don't have that much money to spend on all of this.
as for what I would change on Kuja, the outfit I would get would all be cloth and the stuff that goes over his chest is more of armor, so I would just put some cardboard or something under it to give it the armor shape. Also the boots it comes with aren't quite right >_>
-
Aa, wakarimasita wakarimasita.
-
But the costume is $330 x.x so I am not sure when I will be able to get it. Though I really really want to cosplay Kuja so it MIGHT be for this year >_>
-
Oh, wow. Well, I'll be looking forward to it, whenever it happens, heh.
I have always wanted to do Steiner...but the armour is so daunting. I'd be afraid to take on a project like that, heh.
-
We'll see how things go >_> I would love to do him but I really really need to save money v.v;
-
You should always maintain a clear view of your priorities with cosplay. If something is beyond your budget, don't let yourself be convinced that it is somehow feasible. Just do it some other time.
-
Yeah I am going to have to force myself not to cosplay Kuja. I'm sure the urge will pass =/ I just have to maintain till then :P
-
Yeah, just remember how much satisfaction you'll get out of the cosplays you already have planned for this year. There's always next year, or the year after that. ^_^
-
true true. I am more than happy with Cloud right now. I need to make that costume perfect before I move on to the next one :P
-
That's a mark of a great cosplayer, in my eyes. The ability to prioritize and see when and where it would beb est to focus one's efforts. *thumbs up*
-
I don't have too much work left to do on it. I would like to get the belts to lay flat....not sure how to do that though >_> Also I need to finish up the gloves and find some shoes that add three inches to my height :P
-

The Rorschach Solution...Elevator Shoes! (http://www.elevatorshoes.com/)
-
yeah all those are expensive. I was just going to look at good will for some platform shoes or something :P
something like the shoes she is wearing will work http://images.cosplay.com/photos/16/1622299.jpg
-
Oh, so you're planning to wear some pretty hardcore platforms, then? Good luck! I know of quite a few places around town with platforms (goth, gogo, and the like), if you can't find anything else.
-
Yeah....I'm sure I could find some but I really don't want to pay too much for them. My first stop will be good will and value village....after that, then I might start looking at other places. :P
-
Ookie, well good luck then. ^_^ Just a warning though, if you would be Mock-Battling in them, you should definitely practice walking, running, just generally balancing in them. Platforms can be quite tipsy if you aren't use to them. It'd be easy to break an ankle or two.
-
I will get some practice in them....though I am not too worried >_> I can run in heels :P and I do have a few shoes that have a little bit of a sole in them but not too much.
-
Though FF7 is my home, how big is this mock-showdown? Does it span all FF games?
-
Yes, it is all Final Fantasy games, not just VII. Vii just happens to be the favorite cosplays of many who have joined up so far.
-
Whoo, done with Reno! >> I'm...not even going to start Boomstick V.2 for a while. xD;; So, that another challenge in itself. 8D But, Reno's outfit/wig is officially done!
-
Sweet. I can't wait to see it now ;D
-
....[/headdesk] ...Thanks...Dana. xD;;; There's not a full body shot yet, but maybe I can get my brother to do that today....>> Since all I have is my phone camera. But, more specifically~ http://glacialmai.deviantart.com/gallery/#Reno-Cosplay
-
I think they look good so far ;D Thanks Dana :P
-
Hiya guys ^^ I'm still on the cruise ship lol I'm heading home tomorrow 0.0 I'm sunburnt too X_X but I had fun ^^
-
I still haven't started any of my cosplays >_>
-
Neither have I. Haven't been in the mood for cosplay or any of it, really.
-
I shall be going as Genesis.
-

awesome ^.^
-
Cloud is pretty much done, I just need to make a few little touchups to the wig and get the sword and I am good to go :P
-
Expect me as a re-vamped JENOVA, and my brother as Sephiroth. We'll come and prolly get in on this action.
-

Ooh, which "Jenova Manifestation" are you planning to do?
-
Expect me as a re-vamped JENOVA, and my brother as Sephiroth. We'll come and prolly get in on this action.
I am sensing an epic battle between Cloud and Sephy :P
-
DUDE!! YES !!! we have sephy YAY!!! we are now completely guaranteed to be epically amazing!!
-
Now all we need is an Angeal.
-
Expect me as a re-vamped JENOVA, and my brother as Sephiroth. We'll come and prolly get in on this action.
Ooh, which "Jenova Manifestation" are you planning to do?
A cross between the tube torso Jenova and the tentacles from JENOVA-LIFE and JENOVA-BIRTH. It's...interesting, so far.
-
That sounds interesting. I would love to see some progress pictures when you get them ^_^
-
^ same here
alright so the mock battle practice at my party I am going to be tifa (changing from a boy to a girl XD) I was actually considering cosplaying shelke this year though if I had the money and time to make the cosplay.
-

Ah, Shelke? .....Maybe do her again at some later date when I finish my Azul?
-

I'd love to see a Shelke. I'll hold out hope for next year!
Yeah, all I've got right now are silly conception sketches. When I get somewhere with the actual costume, I'll start posting pics...somewhere. ;D
-
Sounds amazing though! Can't wait to see the finished product. ^_^
Tentacles of any kind = true love, haha
-
yeah, I'll probably end up cosplaying shelke next year
-
Sounds amazing though! Can't wait to see the finished product. ^_^
Tentacles of any kind = true love, haha
What's really sad is my main idea was, "Well, I want to go as JENOVA again...but the no arms and legs thing is kin....OMG TENTACLES!"
-
haha, tentacles save the day again!
-
haha, tentacles save the day again!
Haha, as always.
I have a feeling I (or rather, the bottom half of my costume) will be posing with lots of schoolgirls after the minors have to leave, though. Especially since I'll be hanging out with one. *sigh*
-
lol, didn't even think of that popularity...but yes...you will have fans, haha
-
Hello! I'm really new but, I'd like to perhaps join in with all the FF fun as Yuna from Final Fantasy X-2? In her default outfit, not the Lenne/Songstress dressphere :)
-
that would be pretty sweet. So you are talking about her gunner outfit right?
-
Yup! I'm currently working out so I can pull off Nico Robin from One Piece, so I can probably do Yuna as well :3
Now I wish a Tidus cosplayer would come along! lol
-
Oooh. That sounds awesome!
xD Aw, maybe you can kidnap one at the con?
Hm. Speaking of the convention. What are we to say if someone comes up to us asking, "...what are you lot doing?" : | I've known police officers, 'normies', and even other cosplayers to be a little confused when it comes to things like this.
-
We tell them "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! SHINRA CORP. IS ATTACKING!!!!!!!!" then I waddle up and use the famous Karma ability (since I'll be a Tonberry) on the unweary cop and he'd explode and be veeeery sorry he didn't listen >:3
-
You can put me down as Irvine Kinneas. I plan on having him done by Kumoricon. ^_-
-
Yeah, I have a lot of planned cosplays, but they aren't all going to be for Kumoricon. XDD I've already cosplayed four out of those anyway, or at least have the costumes finished.
-
lol I just orderd my mello wig yay!!
and I re-did my tifa wig. I'm very proud of it ^^
-
I would love to see it. If you could get pictures up.
-
I will soon, I have to find some black buttons and replace the flowers on my apron and get some hikeing boots to paint, then I was planning on haveing a tifa photoshoot with kadaj (friend of mine) at a graveyard near my house ^^
-
Yup! I'm currently working out so I can pull off Nico Robin from One Piece, so I can probably do Yuna as well :3
Now I wish a Tidus cosplayer would come along! lol
A bit late of a response, but....Wooo! Yay, we have a Gunner Yuna! I'm excited! Good luck getting it all done!
-
Barett do you need a Hojo because I am going as hojo ^_^
-
Of course, you're welcome to come as Hojo. ^_^ If you can think of how Hojo would battle, or remember what he did in the game, that'd certainly be good.
And if you don't want to battle, there is always going to be the separate FF Shoot that you could attend.
-

Well thank you I might have to do a bit of research since I haven't played the game in a while but by the time kumo-com comes around I will be up in battle mode for you but I don't think I can make the forms of Hojo that he goes through in the game.
But I hope to be the best I can for you. ^__^
-
Well, whatever you end up doing, glad to have you! I'll at least have to get a shot or two with you, haha
-
Not if I get you first Barett I mean I am faster and I have more needles then you do so I would watch your back I might just beat you at the mock battle. ^__^
-
Oh, you can bring it, sucka! I've got unlimited ammo in six barrels wit yo name on it! Bring it! I'm gonna save the planet!
-
This is going to be very very entertaining ;D I need to get my sword >_<
-
haha, yeah, gonna be a brawl of epic proportions.
Actually, I have no idea how this is going to pan out...didn't expect this many people, lol. We'll sort it out...hopefully, haha.
-
Well you might have two less people to figure things out for!
My boyfriend and I might not be able to be in the FF photoshoot or this depending on what time/day. I know I'm not going to be able to do anything but Soul Calibur on Saturday which I'm assuming is when the FF shoot will be.
-
Ah, gotcha. Well, yeah, it will probably be Saturday, but it could be Sunday too. It all depends on when things happen. We'll know when the schedule comes out. But no sweat if you can't make it. ^_^
-
Oh god. I'm used to Sakuracon. I forgot that this con goes Sat-Mon instead of Fri-Sun. Anyways Saturday we can maybe do, Sunday is a no-no since it's SolCal day. But yeah, just keep me posted on times and I'll see if everyone is ok with scheduling the Pokemon gathering around it.
-
Pffff. We all know who's goin' home with the crown, yo. [/coughSHINRAcough]
8D
-
I was going to wear Cloud on Saturday, Sunday is set aside for my Larxene
-
haha, yeah, gonna be a brawl of epic proportions.
Actually, I have no idea how this is going to pan out...didn't expect this many people, lol. We'll sort it out...hopefully, haha.
Rember this though Hojo owns all and you can blaim him for everything. ^__^
-
It depends, I might actually go ahead and get my Xion wig to be her this year instead of next but I will definitely be Marluxia... Although it annoys me how many Xions are planning to go cuz when I decided to be here I was the only one... Oh well, what ya gonna do? haha
I have my FF stuff pretty much done, I'm planning on takeing the flowers off my tifa outfit and replaceing it with buttons and getting better shoes. I also need to redo my Lucrecia shirt and get a clip on ponytail >.< Cuz I am going to be cosplaying her this year.
-
Keep in mind that the game with her in it is coming out around Kumoricon. If it came out before then there would be a lot more.
I think you should stick with Tifa, this is a FF battle not FF and KH battle.
-
lol no I was talking about days for wearing cosplay. How to divide that day
-
Well I think our plan was that we will try to do the FF battle and photo shoot Saturday, and the KH photo shoot Sunday. Or at least those are the days that I am for sure going to were those costumes.
-
o= That seems pretty good to me.
-
yeah, but I have other cosplays to think about too, so I will probably cosplay tifa only for the FF photoshoot and battle thing then I'll be moveing on to my other cosplays X_X
-
That is fine with me.
-
I'm also cosplaying lucrecia so I wonder if I should do the mock battle as her... but then again she is totally useless except as a HO HO HO for HO HO HOJO XD JKJK but yeah nevermind I'll just stick with tifa
-
Hey guys! I'm back! My comp died and I didn't have net >_>
Anyway, still planning on going, but I -might- not be able to cosplay T_T
So, put me down as a maybe now >_<
I'll watch and help out for sure though!
-
Do we have a date in mind for the practice round?
-
Umm I was wondering if someone could hold me and my mom in a hotel room we are willing to pay we need help.
-
Hummm.....Well, I have several villians I may have finished in time and perhaps one good guy.
So My FF cosplays are as follows
Sephiroth
Seifer - Hyperion is real. :D
Zell
-
Sweet. I would go for a villain because we need more of those, we got lots of good guys already :P
-
ooh, I love me my villains. Go as villain, they're the best.
-
Yeah, we need someone to fight. You would be very very popular. XD
-
I'd so join in! I'd either have my Martial Artist Turk cosplay or(if I can get it together for Kumoricon), Lulu from Final Fantasy ten. Sounds like a fun little thing to do. ^^
-
I would totally say Lulu. I love her outfit.
-
Actually, I would prefer to go as Rufus Shinra. That way, I can command my Turks. ^^ Also it seems like we need more villains.
(Also, I would have my own shotgun in case we wanted a replay of the fight of Cloud versus Rufus. Wonder if I could dredge up a Dark Nation somewhere... ^^)
-
Yeah Rufus would be great. We will probably have a lot of Reno's anyway x.x
-
yay for rufus!! ^^
-
I should have some good bad guys to fight, we are going to have a Hojo, Rufus, and possible Sephiroth.
-
XD I also expect a lot of Renos.
8D We have a Rufus?
-
I am going as hojo and he's a bad guy
-
Yeah pocky reno said she might go as Rufu ;D
-
Oh yeah change of plans for this. I will add to the list of villains. I am going to be cosplaying Kuja from 9 on Saturday.
-
Ok, Rufus it is since people seem to be excited about it. ^^ I get to be evil, hurray!
-
Alright go Villains XD
-
8D Villians ftw. We may just outnumber the heroes. [/coughprobablynot]
Also...I don't know if this was discussed earlier, but did we ever have a date set for the practice date?
-
I don't think we do have a date set. I would like to do the con three weeks early again so maybe during that we can do it?
-
That sounds good to me! Three weeks seems like enough time to keep certain battle movements or such from falling out of my head.
-
I need to ask Tom if he would be willing to do a tour again.
-
a tour would be awsome
-
That is what we did last year. I'll have to send him a pm.
-
You guys are so making me all nostalgic over that Shinra car that showed up last year xD That was epic.
^_^ Well I probably can't participate, but I'm definately going to try to catch it at the con~
-
If you cosplay a character from Final fantasy you are more than welcome to participate.
-
So, sorry for being away and out of the loop. Did you want to take over planning this, Nikkiolie? If so that's cool.
But, I still love the idea of doing a 3 week early con and having this walkthrough during it. I plan to attend to early con anyway, so sounds good to me.
Aaaand, lessee, whatever time you want to do this for is fine, because I have decided I am only cosplaying Barret this year, which means I won't have any costuming conflict between FF Shoot and Mock-Battle. So, all is good. ^_^
-
@ Nikki: I meant 'participate' in reference to my own ability to do a mock-battle thing xD; Still, it'll be fun to watch and see how it goes~

no no no no I don't want to take over this. I have a tendency to say I am going to do something at the con and then not do it >_>
I figured during or after the photo shoot would be fine. Like the photo shoot is over? Ok lets go to wherever we are going to do the mock battle.
-
Yeah, that sounds like a good plan to me. ^_^ Since a lot of us will be going to the early con, we can still work out the logistics of it later on, but that is a good basic plan.
-
That is what I was thinking. Though I will be wearing Kuja instead of Cloud now. I didn't want to wear Kuja on the last day since it is such an epic costume, so I moved Cloud to the last day XD
-
Ah, well good luck getting that all done. It has become a Dissidia Battle now! Trans-Universal Battle of Epic Awesomeness!
-
It will be awesome. I can't wait till the costume gets here so I can make the needed changes and add stuff. I also need my pay check so I can order the wig x.x
-
Ah, well good luck! Don't forget the feathers. Kuja's hair seems to be very predominantly made of feathers...at times anyway.
-
I will use one for the part that sticks up...I may also put them in through out the rest of the wig but who knows.
-
XD This time I'll actually come to Con Three Weeks Early. As for the mock-battle? ...hm. Well, it can get pretty hot in august, so if the photoshoot's at like....1, it may not be a good idea to do if afterwards so we don't have people passing out. But, isn't the shoot at like...10? D8
-
At the moment it is planed to be around 1. If it were at 10 a lot of people couldn't go because they would be in line to get their badge.
-
Yeah, 10 is without doubt too early, but 1 sounds reasonable. Probably be about an hour, so 1:00 to 2:00, then Mock-Battle after that.
-
That sounds good to me. They seem to spend a lot of time on final fantasy 7....it could go on to an hour and a half, but still not a huge issue.
-
Yeah, sounds like everything should work out decently.
I have not been updating the main post list, so I will go back and do that now.
-
That might work out. And you can add the run through date to that.
-
Do you guys have a Hojo yet? I might consider joining if I can pull together Hojo.
-
Yup, we have one Hojo so far.
-
I am excited that Kuja uses magic so we can add some special effects into the video :D
-
well really everyone, all the main characters, use magic in all the games >.O
-
I am excited that Kuja uses magic so we can add some special effects into the video :D
Yeah, I plan to equip some Materia, and use Barret's limit breaks, so there will most likely be special effects all around. Even Cloud has his limit breaks and materia too. Magic can be a pretty common thing between FF games.
-
yeah I guess that is true. I need to learn what some of his attacks are. I do plan on buying the game again....or getting a hold of it somehow.
-
Same here, Need to learn Red's attacks *goes to play FFVII*
-
yeah I guess that is true. I need to learn what some of his attacks are. I do plan on buying the game again....or getting a hold of it somehow.
Yeah, wouldn't be a bad idea, lol. Always nice to know the real Who of who you're cosplaying. I'll see if there are any videos of Kuja available in the meantime.
And this just occurred to me, but there is only one instance in FFIX where you actually fight Kuja, and by that time he is Trance Kuja (but his attacks and spells are the same, one could assume). Something to think about, perhaps.
Same here, Need to learn Red's attacks *goes to play FFVII*
Yes, play it! Even though there are videos on youtube of Red XIII, don't sell yourself short. Never miss an opportunity to replay an amazing game if you've got the time. ^_^
-
i should post my amv for ffix, kuja is in it for a bit >.O for kuja, you just need to make sure to have a smug smirk a lot of the time and a really superior attitude ^.^
-
Thanks. I did play 9 but I never got as far as to fight him....so I may end up watching a video of that fight and taking notes :P
-
yeah, my favorite, (do-able move) for tifa move is the dolphin punch XD .. I think thats what its called, its either that or the water kick.. I 'll double check
-
yeah, my favorite, (do-able move) for tifa move is the dolphin punch XD .. I think thats what its called, its either that or the water kick.. I 'll double check
Dolphin Blow, and Water Kick. ^_^
@Nikki: It's never too late to play through IX. It would at least give you cred in my book. ^_^
-
I just don't know if I would be able to go to it before the con.
-
Ah, yeah. Well if you do decide you want to try, you can always borrow my copy.
-
Yeah Patrick has it as well. I need to call him once he gets back in Portland.
-
So I am still planning on making Barret's Rocket Punch to bring with me for this battle, maybe for a weapon switch between fights, heh
-
So I am still planning on making Barret's Rocket Punch to bring with me for this battle, maybe for a weapon switch between fights, heh
sooo excited for that one ^.^ i'm still going to do the umbrella for aeris, just need to find one, which shouldn't be too hard >.O
-
I should think of a gag weapon for Kuja....something gay like XD O.O A RAINBOW!
-
Pretty Rainbow Sparkle Ray! GO!!! XDD All Sailor Moon style. XDD That would be awesome.
Good thing I have my Turks to fight for me. ^^ I'd probably get my butt kicked otherwise.
-
Yeah you would XD
-
Am I missing something? Kuja with a rainbow? I like that idea XDD
-
We were thinking of gag weapons and Kuja is very gay looking...seeing how most people confuse him for a girl =/ So I figured a rainbow would be the best XD
-
Yeah you would XD
Oh thanks. XP I'll remember that when I'm watching you get your butt kicked by my Turks. XD
-
*pfff* Like they could touch me.....let alone we are on the same side.....the side of EVIL!
-
*pfff* Like they could touch me.....let alone we are on the same side.....the side of EVIL!
Ah, that's true... about being on the same side, I mean. Well, we'll see how things go... *evil chuckle*
-
... weird
Yeah and boss can have a mother box filled with thoes snakes that pop out of cans.
Don't dock my pay boss, take it out of Reno's
-
FFFF, WUT? I come back to "dock Reno's pay"? LUL, NO. I need that. D8 For thingsss. ...And cosplays.
-
She was referring to a different Reno. There are too many of you. I told Hojo that cloning you was a bad idea... one Reno is quite enough to deal with, let alone an army of you. XP
-
Yeah there really is too many of them =/
-
bad Hojo is bad. We should dock his pay.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if I come across a Reno army at KumoriCon. x.x Now to figure out a way to stand apart.
-
Be better than everyone else? lol Reno is an easy costume...and an easy one to make look bad. So, just do better than everyone else, lol
-
Yeah if you put some effort into it you should look great.
-
Which is exactly why I'm redoing my wig. xD
-
I can't wait till I get my wig for Kuja. I will post pictures. I will be the best Kuja I can possibly be.
-
That's why I might not be cosplaying Reno this year. I have other cosplays I could pull together in time... I think... I'm sure you'll be a spiffy Reno though! ^^
-
Yeah you would be better off as Ruffus, or better yet, Irvine for this :D
-
Well, I'll try for Irvine, but I might not be able to get him done for K-Con. I think I'd rather be Rufus anyway, just so I can boss the Turks around and be evil. ^^
-
Yeah that would be cool too. Its just that not many people cosplay Irvine :P Either would be helpful though.
-
haha I am gonna get to meet real anime artist and animators on my trip to japan!!! And I hope to make a stop to the square enix store, they have a life sized sculpture of sephiroth floating in the life stream in there. I wanna take pictures of it sooo sooo sooo bad!!
-
And I hope to make a stop to the square enix store, they have a life sized sculpture of sephiroth floating in the life stream in there. I wanna take pictures of it sooo sooo sooo bad!!
jealous... >.< lol
-
That does sound nerdgasmically awesome. I hope to see pics of it!
-
That would be pretty sweet. I think I saw a smaller one at Sakuracon. They were raffling it off.
-
I know! I hope I get to see it. It depends on the exchange group though.
-
That does sound nerdgasmically awesome. I hope to see pics of it!
Ha nerdgasms. My favorite kind of gasm ^.^
-
lol I have never heard that word before XD
-
Well, basically anything can be a gasm, just take the work, like... cute and add "gasm" to the end and voila, cutegasm ;P
-
I said nerdgasm at my first con. I walked into the dealers room, looked around, and said, "Whoa. I'm totally having a nerdgasm right now." XDD So much shiny things... I kinda got dizzy. XD Ah, con cherries. So much fun.
-
I think I did the same when I heard Vash's speech at my...2nd Kumoricon, at my first I think the whole thing was a nerdgasm ;D
-
Nerdgasm? So what's going on now? I'm too lazy to look back on the past posts.
So I guess I'm doing Elena.
[random thought: Chokyukai(Inuyasha)'s tattoo's look like Reno's]
-
It seems like we are getting more and more bad guys and not enough good guys =/
-
I'm a good guy! You don't mind if I join do you? I'm going as Elena
-
No, you're totally welcome! Glad to have you. Though your Hero/Villain status is ambiguous, since a lot of the Turks want to be villains. *shrug* It's up to you to choose which side you are, I suppose, heh.
-
Well in my other skit I'm good turned bad. So I'll be a villan >D
-
Ah, okay, heh. So you'll be FFVII Elena as opposed to FFVII:AC Elena (who is definitely more of an ally than an opponent by that point).
-
Yup.
-
This will be fun. I hope everything works out well >_>
-
In my skit I have Mother and the boss I fight convinces me to come to the darkside due to them having more Mother boxes and... cookies
-
Sounds interesting.....I just hope we have enough good guys.
-
If anything I could be a good guy if we don't have enough
-
i think it'll be fine if we have more bad guys than good, and it could work really well since the good guys are always outnumbered in the games anyway >.O not necessarily in individual battles, but on the grander scale.
-
True, very true. I'll stay bad then. Oh! Should I have Geostigma since I'm carrieing Mother? since that was my original plan was to be a Turk with GS
-
Elena didn't have Geostigma, though. She just got messed up by Kadaj and his flunkies.
And I agree with Kahlan, I think things will be fine as they are. This, again, doesn't have to be terribly complicated or balanced, because we all know the game wasn't always equal, heh.
-
Yeah that does make sense. But if we only have two or three good guys and like 30 bad guys....
-
I know she dosen't have Geostigma, I was planning on doing a Turk with Geostigma worse than rufus, and I don't think I can convince mom to cut my hair and bleach it, and I don't have enough money for another wig at the moment. So I'm probably ending up on not doing Elena.
-
Yeah that does make sense. But if we only have two or three good guys and like 30 bad guys....
Yeah, but if you look at our current list of attendance, we actually have at least as many heroes as villains, if not more. Seems like things are going just fine for the moment.

Ooooh, okay, gotcha.
-
Yeah, I tried to get mom to cut and bleach but she's all like "No, let your hair grow out!" so I'm a Turk with Mother and Geostigma
-
Someone holding Mother for Rufus while he is tending to the rebuilding of Shinra, right? Yeah, I'll believe that, lol.
-
haha I'm not holding it for boss, I took Mother XDD. Aww now boss'll dock my pay
-
Then you better watch out for all the other Turks, they'll be gunning for YOUR head, heh. You should jump in with Avalanche, we can keep you safe! ^_^
-
I see. I didn't see the list if it is posted >_>
but I'm sure everything will work out great. And if we need I can go change to Cloud for it ;D
-
Aw nuts, it's bad enough Kadaj wants Mother, and I won't give it to him.
-
Then you better watch out for all the other Turks, they'll be gunning for YOUR head, heh. You should jump in with Avalanche, we can keep you safe! ^_^
FFFOR. Or not. Pfff, Barret's trying to take our friggin' employees!
-
All Turks are with me. Any kidnappings of Mother with be dealt with accordingly. To keep the sides even, I think the Turks and myself should fight on the side of evil, for kicks and giggles. Then, if the bad guys start kicking too much ass, whoever is left could switch over, sort of that "just kidding, I was good all along" kind of thing. ^^ Plot twist!!
-
Alright my materia is done. It looks arlight on one side. I am going to try to make it better.....not sure how though =/

Sorry the picture is blurry.
-
Looks great, Nichole. Looks pro.
-
well it foamed and bubbled out of the top so have of it is foam like....I'm not too sure what I could have done to keep that from happening....maybe if I over filled it instead of leaving room at the top. I don't know. I don't think I have enough resin to make another one right now. But if I hold it that way it looks great XD

Ha, gotta love those, well that's how Aeris ended up a Turk, lol.
-
Aeris, a Turk? Nooo way! She'd never join in with the likes a'y'all!
*shakes gunarm*
-
Sheesh, boss I'll give mother back, maybe. ONLY if you join the darkside... then I'll hold onto her for you... that way you can fight. jk
-
ooo i wanna join it would be fun! (but i dont realy know how it works exactly and i cant make th precon ;_;, but other wise id be ffx-2 thief rikku
-
It's not too complicated. We'll just be re-enacting the battles from the games. The battle system of rpg's, with characters taking turns and fighting. That's all there is to it, heh.
You're welcome to join! Even if you just show up during Kumoricon, that's still cool. I'm sure you could catch on quickly.
-
So how are we doing this? would we be having like cardboard cut=outs of the battle menu? Just wondering.
-
It's not that specific. Just think of Pokemon. You know how they always call out their attacks before they do them? That's how this will be. Everyone will have turns, like in the games, and instead of physically picking your attacks and actions, you call them out. This will be great for magic spells and limit breaks especially.
Make sense? ;D I have the tendency to overcomplicate things when explaining them.
-
no, I get it, I was wondering how we'd go about fighting, in another skit i saw they're having cardboard cutouts
be back in a sec I have to save my kitty from the dark clutches of underneath the bed with doors they can't open cause they're too heavy
-
Ah, well, let me clarify: THIS ISN'T A SKIT. ^_^
This is just people gathering and having fun together.
-
no I know, I was just saying I saw a skit that was doing kinda the same thing as we are.
-
id love to join ^^ if its "random battleing" then i totaly understand how its gonna work should be great fun
-
damn I'm good at causing problems
-
No, there's no problem. I just typed it in caps so everyone is sure to see it. I wasn't sure if you thought this was a skit or not, seemed like you might have. But anyway, no problem, just wanted to clear that up, heh.
-
mah, I didn't read that part I guess
-
i have to say and you allready know... eveofabyss i freaking love your berret
-
Well thank you. ;D Never gets old, being told I did it well, haha. I'm sure your Rikku will be amazing, and I can't wait to see it. ^_^
-
thanks! i cant wait to wear it ^_^
-
Yeah, you should definitely come to the mock battle, if you can. It'd be great to have someone representing FFX. So far we may have a Lulu, but Rikku would be amazing as well. ;D
-
only may? i want a lulu to bother! and if he orders in time by bf will be cosplaying auron so i could rope him in
-
That sounds great! Best of luck getting everything done and getting your bf convinced, heh.
-
as for the menu thing....maybe we could add that in during the editing process.....but it isn't necessary. I think it would be great though XD
-
I think I FINALY chose who I wanted to be. ; 3 ; I was thinking about being Paine from FF X-2. > o <
Idk, what do you guys think? :'D
-
I think that would look great. Go for it!
-
now that I'm most likely going to cosplay a FF character I'm kinda interested in this lol
-
What character are you thinking about cosplaying?
-
That's a secret 8D But I'll have to tell you and Eve lol
-
Sweet :3 you can send it to me through.....XD NVM!
-
Yeah I just sent it to you lol
-
I saw that :P
-
I'll tell eve one he gets online lol
-
Alright well I look forward to it ^_^
-
o.o! fired chicken if i see a paine i will steal them so i can have a paine >.> *needs a yuna and paine*
-
as for the menu thing....maybe we could add that in during the editing process.....but it isn't necessary. I think it would be great though XD
Yeah, that was my original plan. I thought that would be a really keen way of doing it, heh.
And what's this I hear about a secret cosplay, Sugarlat? I'm intrigued. ^_^
-
@Chelseahavoc:
: OOOOO Oh my! x D
Well that's fine with me. :'D
Maybe I could get my friend to be Yuna this year instead of next year. : o Hmmmm.....
I was thinking about being Gunner Paine, BTW. : D
-
ooo that would be realy cool ^^ i sooo want a yrp group!
-
Well....You just got your group....cause my friend said yes! x D
-
Sent you a pm eve~
-
omg! *sqwee* now im uber excited!!!
-
I'm excited for this too. I can't wait to see the finished product.
-
Sent you a pm eve~
Excited! Sounds awesome, heh
-
Sweet >D I have my own category XD
-
That you do. ^_^ Didn't want to give anything away by putting you under either villain or hero, heh.
-
That makes sense! Thanks 8D
Actually I'm not positive if said secret cosplay is hero or villan XD
-
Secret person is in a category all on their own: super amazing awesome, lol. Doesn't need to be good or bad, just rocks with the power of WOW!
-
It also rocks with the power of curiosity XD
-
Come to think of it I'm not too sure what position that character does hold
Oh yeah. I got an email from the guy that is making my sword and it should be done and sent by Monday. :D
-
Omg that sounds so exciting!
I hope my sword is super special awesome
-
I can't wait. I wonder what it would look like ;D
-
Epic. It looks epic, lol.
Hard to say anything about this without giving things away. So I'll zip it, lol.
I'm really stoked for this now. I started working on my costume again today. And the con-spirit hit me like a tidal wave, with the scent of hot glue and craft-work, heh. Got the gun about a third of the way done, and then I will hope to have the Rocket Punch made as well (or maybe just bought).
-
You should totally post pictures. I would love to see it ;D
-
Yeah, once I get to a semi-complete stage tomorrow, I'll get some shots taken. I'll post progress pics from the first gun and the 2.0 so as to compare them. See if there's any difference.
I'm probably going to end up just buying a boxing glove for the Rocket Punch, I don't think it is something I could make feasibly, heh.
And thanks for the support, Nikki! ^_^
-
I don't think it could be something I could make either. But it will look fantastic XD
I can't wait to see the pictures. You know I'll post pictures of the sword when I get it ;)
-
Of course I can't wait to see the sword when you get it. I've only seen one or two custom made Buster Swords before, and they've always looked amazing. I've never seen a custome made AC Sword, so yeah, that should be mighty epic.
-
I'm hoping it looks great. I heard it was going to be light too :3
-
Yeah, I can see how that could be important, heh.
-
Yeah....he said it was made like a surfboard so foam on the inside and hard on the outside.
-
Huh, that sounds pretty nifty. Glad you were able to find someone to make that. I've got a Buster Sword replica, but it isn't to scale and definitely not for use, as it's real metal, lol
-
Well you could use it for some nice pictures ;D
-
True, true. I can always bring it with me, in its sheath, in case you would like to have it with you for any off-conspace shots.
-
It might be useful. Though it depends on what the one I have looks like ;D
-
Oh that sounds cool!
I've never heard of a sword being made like that.
I need to go buy some special glue to finish and I was doing research all night for my sword XD
I still have a long way to go but now I don't have to do any wood work XD
I'm gonna try to make it light up too 8D
-
Good luck with that. I wish I could find a sword that comes apart like Cloud's. There are some like that but they are made of metal =/
-
i wish i could find a cloud sowrd i could actualy lift =/ i tried making one and couldnt pick it up at all when i was done xD so its locked away somewhere, so much for a boffing buster sword
-
Yeah I am happy that it will be so light. He said it would be about 6 lbs and no more than 10.
-
holy wow o.o;; thats what i call an epic sword
-
I asked him to send me a picture before he mailed it to me but he hasn't gotten back yet =/
-
Hm, still sounds pretty awesome, though. The only other time I've seen a Buster Sword made well enough to be functional was in one of the Anime Hunters episodes, where it was used to physically bust up a TV set. Pretty burly!
-
That sounds intense. Mine wont be able to do that x.x I'm still waiting for an email from him.
-
Yeah, I wouldn't imagine most props being functional, heh. I mean, ideally, I'd be able to make props sturdy enough to be semi-functional (if needed), but appearance is good enough, heh.
-
Cissnei's weapon is being cut out as we speak.... I will paint it after 4th of July.... ^_^
-
Nice! Are you cutting it, or is someone making it for you?
-
My dad is cutting it for me... my parents do not trust the with a power saw... ^_^
-
Ah, makes sense, heh. So it will be made out of wood then? Nice and sturdy.
-
Yes... it will 3 foot by 3 foot a little smaller then I wanted but it is the right weight
-
my yuna summonr staff shall be done in 3 days! only thing that sucks is i cant take it cuz it wont go on a plane ;_;
-
You're making a cosplay prop and you can't bring it with you? That sucks! Sorry. Where are you flying from? Maybe you could ship it?
-
That seems a little pointless to make a prop that you can't bring....but I guess you can take pictures with it outside of the con.
-
Yeah, I'd feel incomplete if I had worked on a piece of my costume and couldn't take it with me. Part of me would be missing, but I bond really quickly to my props, so....yeeeeah
-
i was considering asking a friend to bring it for me but i dont know! >< its realy lame that i have to go on a plane!
-
Where are you flying in from, anyway?
-
Maybe you could ship it to a friend and have them hold onto it for you until the con?
-
im origanaly from southern oregon but i'll be flying in from NC (LONG story...)
-
I think shipping it would cost quite a bit x.x
-
Oh, well, yeah, if you did want to ship it, though, I'm sure there is someone here who could receive it and hold it for you (heck, I could, heh).
-
I could too. I'll have a room for the con, but I bet Eve would too :P
-
Yup, we (Kahlan and I) will have a room for the con. At this point, a spendy one, because our friends have kind of bailed on us this year.
-
i have a room and evrything ^^ *shakes fist* just the army is making going to kumori hard for me this year! i think if i ask nice enough chibiorochimaru might take it for me *crosses fingers*
-
Ooooh, well hopefully you can get something worked out! Yuna can't go on a cross-country pilgrimage without her staff, after all!
-
xD! very true!
-
So how is everyone's cosplay coming? Any more to join in or drop out?
-
Ack, it turns out I'm not doing Gunner Yuna anymore (though IcyMelon is now) so I think I'm going to have to drop out of this >.< I could come as Rikku, but chelseahavok is already, so I'm probably just going to step down xD Looking forward to seeing the battle though, good luck you guys! :3
-
Alright. Well still look forward to seeing you at some point. Thanks for the update. :)
-
aw thats depressing that i knocked someone out ;_; but i cant wait to see your rikku and fallow your group around xD
-
It's comming, slowly, but comming none the less
-
I'm done! I will start studying Kuja as soon as I get the game ;D
-
I'm still at same point I was last week XD I need liquid epoxy to attach my sword together and acrylic gesso :3
-
Yeah.....I am not going to have much more progress >_> XD
-
: O I'm so taking Zidane!!!! Its been forever sense I brought out the mage mashers!
I cant wait to see your Kuja nikkiolie!
-
Can't wait to see your Zidane! You actually made the Mage Masher?
-
: O I'm so taking Zidane!!!! Its been forever sense I brought out the mage mashers!
I cant wait to see your Kuja nikkiolie!
Do you have pictures? I would love for there to be a Zidane there ;D
-
http://chibi-orochimaru.deviantart.com/art/Attack-119023506
Definitely not the best picture I took buts its the only one I have with the mage mashers.
-
Nice! Love those weapons. ^_^
-
Thank you ^___^ There a bit heavier then what I wanted but still good.
-
Ah, what did you make them out of?
-
Wood and clay for the squiggles.
-
うわ！
shinigami's lending me some of her clothes for my Turk. :3 I found geostigma make-up now I just have to figure out a weapon... Maybe Kaguya... MAYBE TENSHI... OR BOTH ><
-
oh nice! that will be interesting to see.
-
i has quick question can a new person join
-
Yeah, definitely, as long as it's a Final Fantasy costume. The more, the merrier.
Which costume did you have planned?
-
either genesis from crisis core or ashe from ff12
-
oh id love to see an ashe! id steal 47 pictures >.>
-
Yeah, you're definitely welcome to join. As we get a more diverse range of characters, I'm thinking we may have different rounds of Mock-Battles, for different games. Like, my only real interest is VII (because that's what my cosplay is from). But if other people want to do crossovers, that's cool too. I just am going to make sure to have at least a VII Mock-Battle.
-
id like cross overs that way people arnt all angry and sitting around being bored doing nothing. and i know 7 always out numbers every one, id like the other ffs to be doing something other then standing and waiting
-
I would say go for Ashe since there is so many people from 7 already :P
-
yeah im still gona get geneisis for years to come also im gona walk there in orginazation over coat
-
I wasn't suggesting we do one at a time...I dunno, I just meant at some point I wanted to have a VII mock-battle since that is what my original intentions were with this idea.
-
It would be nice to have a different variety of classes too O_o A battle of like....all thief’s would be awkward...yet epic. >.> Or like nothing but giant sword chars
-
but wat if someone wants a theif with them and someone with a big sword along with black mage
-
=O two thiefs?!?!?! wouldnt that be like... zidane and thief rikku going at it with thier weapons? xD
-
That could be pretty fun, heh
-
xDD Yes I can see it now
-snatch-
r.r -snatch back-
-----------four hours later-----------
><;;;; -steals AGAIN-
-
First one to use Mug wins, lol
-
lol true and wat type of sword does ashe use
-
Ashe could use any kind of sword (or any weapon) really. XII had soooo many to choose from.
-
xD fun stuff i feel another kumoricon battle video comeing up xD!
-
*gasp* Was there an old Kumoricon Battle video? Must see it!
-
lol only ones i know of were of me and chibiorochimaru as rikku and orochimaru (video is on purplelaundry on youtube.) and there was another with a few of us random people basicly goofing off... forgot the name though xD!
-
Ah, nice. I will have to look those up. Yeah, I definitely want to document the battles this year. I missed my chance in '07, and it won't happen again!
-
I'll make sure to track you down >.>
If random Zidane glomp attacks you.....thats me ^_^
-
Ah run away ramdon Zidane glomp attack XD
I was just playing 9 a few minutes ago...
-
i wonder if i'll get attack by an ed again this year as rikku.. funny stuff...
-
Lets please try to stay on topic.
Do people have any idea what attacks they are going to do?
-
No not yet I'm not positive of any of the moves my cosplay does at all XD
-
Yeah that would be a bit of an issue for you. :P
-
^^;; sorry nikki... um... yes---ish... i know how rikku does her basic attacks and steal and item use and all that... "fun" stuff xD
-
SO sign me up for my Wedding Yuna. I'll try to bring along my FFX Shiva friend too.
EDIT
What is this about a Zidane? Damn... maybe Yuna should have been last year and dress Garnet this year. >.>
-
i havent played ff 12 in a while so i forget ashe's attacks
-
That was you ?!?!?! D8 I wanted to glomp you so bad ><;;
Well its not too late to bring Garnet ._.
As far as attacks go...I'm set ^___^ Attack steal flee umm...grand lethal D8?
-
For me? probably something to do with infecting people? since I have mother
-
:/ I need to get on that. Reno's basic attack is a given... Well, how exactly will the attack thing work out? Turn based, right? Does each person on a specific side take a turn or do they discuss or something?
-
It'll be turn-based, and we'll probably just go through each side. One side would go and then the other side. That is how most of the games do it anyway, the Time Gauges all usually fill around the same time for a party.
And as far as my attack go, I will be using the basic Attack, maybe some magic, and I will definitely have some limit breaks stuffed up my sleeve if y'all piss me off too hard. ;D
-
Ultima....apparently Kuja liked to use it on the party :P
-
I think Flare Star and Holy were Kuja's favorites. Those two were his main attacks in the Terra fight, with Flare thrown in often also.
Then of course, Ultima was the battle-ender. There's no defense against that one, lol
-
So I will make sure to use those :P Mine are really easy XD
-
Yeah, you can see the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWN2mjPwv98 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWN2mjPwv98), if you need a reference and won't be able to play through the game.
You're pure magic, Kuja! Hope you won't mind standing in one place throughout the whole battle, lol
-
That makes it much easier for me. I am going to get the game a week from Satruday then I will start playing through it ;D
-
Nice, have fun!
Now that I think about it, I may play through IX soon here as well. I am kind of at a stand still with VII and want to play something, heh.
-
It wouldn't be a bad idea if you plan on cosplaying from it :P
-
Yeah, I'm not cosplaying from IX this year or anything, but I would like to play through it again. I played through it so many times when I first got it, most of it has been essentially burned into my memory, heh. Still, there's nothing like playing through it again.
-
I meant for next year not this year :P
-
Yes, of course. I definitely plan on running a refresher before I cosplay. It is just necessary in my mind. With VII, I have options (can watch AC, play the game, etc.), but for IX there's only one place you can go, heh.
-
Hmm... if I have time, I might quick change into Garnet halfway through the battle. With a Kuja and a Zidane there, it's pure blasphemy NOT to do Garnet at least for five minutes. ^^;; So... if Yuna gets KOed early, I'll run like hell and change into Garnet and run like hell back.
That just made me think of the ending scene of FFIX, when Garnet's running.
Or maybe I'll just be Garnet for the battle. Is it during the photoshoot or after? After if it's after, then I mgiht have time... *trying to force Garnet into the battle*
As for attacks, probably Cure, Attack, Summon Shiva... and something else. XD
For Garnet... Summon Shiva, Attack, Cure... hell, they're both healers, they'll probably have the same attacks. >.>;;
-
Yeah, the battle will be after the photo shoot, so I'm sure you'll have time.
-
*sqwees* i'll for sure reconize you as garnet! xD *slightly off topic* didnt you say you were going to fix the crown?
-
I have a half-finished foam version in my room. XD I need to re-hem it, clean it, fix the leaves with paint and add beads to it, possibly get a new wig.
-
Ahhh!!! Nikki i saw your sword!!! IT's so cool!
-
Thanks :3
-
What is it with Final Fantasy characters and compensating for something via huge sword? Tidus, Sephiroth, Cloud, Squall... Zidane seems the only one not compensating. But, then again, there IS that tail...
-
Well, what is a sword after all but a large symbol? Go back to Shakespeare....it's in there. Go back even further....it's a constant metaphor. Final Fantasy didn't start it, they just reinforce it, lol.
-
...That's a very good point, Eve. :P
-
I'll add that if we can pull our minds away from the typical phallic symbol ideology, there are still some very awesome symbols within the world of VII.
It all starts with Sephiroth, his sword is the Masamune, the 7 ft. monster. He is the war hero, the hero of Shinra and everyone's idol. So it starts with him.
Then we have Cloud, with the Buster Sword. Not as long as Sephiroth's, but ten times as wide. A form of compensating, attempting to live up to Sephiroth's status.
Then we have Kadaj, a mere remnant. He is just a child really, with a double-bladed short sword. He cannot live up to Cloud, he certainly cannot live up to Sephiroth, but he will try with all he's got. So in all his attempts to be like Sephiroth, he has a sword with two blades instead of one, hoping to become like Sephiroth with the 7 ft. masamune...but he is only a remnant.
See? Symbolism everywhere, clean symbolism...not dirty Shakespearean stuff, lol
-
Hope you dont mind me stealing you in Garnet for like five minutes.....I demand pictures D8!
-
Is someone wearing Garnet? I know someone that wore it last year but I didn't think she was doing this year.
-
Yeah, Mitsukai Mizu Amaya said she is going to try to wear Garnet this year. she wore the Wedding dress version last year, so this will be a natural progression, heh
-
SWEET! We are going to have more ff9 characters :P
-
Yeah, surprising, actually. I think I'm most surprised by the Zidanes (yes, plural) that I have heard will be coming. That costume was pretty much untouched until recently (because of Dissidia I'm sure).
-
Really? This will be great. I will have to take some sort of pictures with them XD
-
Definitely. Hopefully at least one will show up to the MB so we can get some Bad Blood Kuja v. Zidane shots, heh
-
Yeah that would be great. We could do a one on one kinda showdown.
-
Yup, totally. It'd be epic, no doubt.
-
I hope who ever is planing to wear Zidane will come to the early con :P
-
*grumble*
Should've done Garnet this year instead of last. >.>
-
My friend Jacob said he might be Zidane this year too but I donno if he's willing to do anything like this and stuff lol
-
I really hope some people cosplay the 9 Version of Zidane rather then Dissidia, sticks to classics ya know ^_^
-
*grumble*
Should've done Garnet this year instead of last. >.>
Oh well there is always next year :P I think we will be getting a bigger group together for it anyway :P
-
this reminds me... i need to make my garnet/dagger its been almost a year senc i bought the fabric xD
....you may wish you would have done it this year but... i realy look forward to your wedding yunie!
-
Yeah, just look forward to next year, Mitsukai. I'll be Steiner!
-
And just to update, can everyone post a final word on who they'll be for this? I've got a bit lost in all the "maybe's" and "I dunno's", lol
-
Yeah, just look forward to next year, Mitsukai. I'll be Steiner!
and i'll be beatrix ^.^
-
Woo, the Mock-Battle that year'll be coooooool! Kahlan, we can reenact the defense of Alexandria!
-
xDD I can't wait to see that
-
Yup, just gotta convince Kuja to conjure up some Mist Creatures, heh
-
That is what CG is for XD
-
Eeexactly, heh
-
That does sound like a lot of fun. I made a ff9 topic btw http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=10460.0
-
Cool, nice going, Nikki.
-
I'd die of a nine-gasm if there was a giant group X-X
-
The way things are looking now, we'll definitely be having a Mock-Battle next year as well.
But, I won't post a new topic until after Kumoricon this year, just to make sure things work out well enough to warrant another MB.
-
OH HO HO HO
I found some perfect light up led lights that work perfect for my sword and they're onle a buck each
-
Wow! Sweet deal. Glowing sword = epic fun.
-
I was hoping to use leds in the handle but my wiring skills suck no matter how much research I do XD
-
im gona change to lulu cause ashe just has too short a skirt
-
Oooh, Lulu! Good luck with that! That's quite the monster of a costume, but amazingly gorgeous when done. Kahlan cosplayed as Lulu in '07, so I know how much work it is, heh. Can't wait to see it!
-
Oooh, Lulu! Good luck with that! That's quite the monster of a costume, but amazingly gorgeous when done. Kahlan cosplayed as Lulu in '07, so I know how much work it is, heh. Can't wait to see it!
and someday i hope to re-do it and make it a million times better... lol
-
oo a lulu! there was a lulu last year. dont remember if she went to the shoot though...
-
Hmm, I think I missed that Lulu last year. I always tend to miss some really amazing cosplayer every year though.
-
I saw her. I actually think I have a picture at my myspace XD
-
This is exciting, will be cool to have a Lulu for the MB.
-
Is someone going to cosplay Lulu?
-
that would be me as lulu nikki
-
Oh I thought you were going as someone else
-
They changed from Ashe to Lulu on the last page (or one before it).
-
I see, well that will still be cool.
-
Yeah, I'm excited because my personal preference leans towards X over XII. So it has me excited, heh
-
i just thought of somthing ill get really hot from the black coat and fuzz
-
Yup, that's definitely something to take into consideration before you decide to do the cosplay. If heat is something you struggle with, it may not be the best idea.
-
or if you get realy cold >.< after last years rain i cant believe im doing rikku again
-
yeah but ill be fine in the heat
-
Ah, glad to hear you can handle the heat. :)
-
Heats nothing to cosplayers >D XD
-
Speaking of rain... I was all white last year, all white this year, and all white next year...
Please, please oh gods of anime... DON'T LET IT RAIN ON ME!
-
Oh, man. XD Wow. I'm not sure to root for my sake and personal preference of rain or yours and root for no rain.
-
Right it rained a bit last year. Hope for better weather this year :3
-
I love rain so much too T.T
Oh, by the way, does anyone know where to get tiny little beads I can embroider onto Garnet? I want to do that as well as either fix the headdress or finish my foam version(figured out how to permanently fix the clay one), rehem it, remake the necklace, either fix the wig or get a new one, and redo the zipper line since I NOW KNOW HOW TO PUT A ZIPPER ON RIGHT >.> *so wished I knew last year*
And another thing; my Shiva won't be there because I haven't had a chance to call her and... I'm saving making tht cosplay for last for obvious reasons. @.@

tiny beads could probably be found at joanne's, or any bead shop really. there's on in tigard near the joanne's- across the street on main street. i'd just check joane's and if they don't have any, look up a bead shop near you ^.^
-
Oh, man. XD Wow. I'm not sure to root for my sake and personal preference of rain or yours and root for no rain.
Well seeing how rain would ruin some costumes if it does rain I wont be there. So I hope that it doesn't. Also if it rained anyone with a styled wig wouldn't be there either.
-
Yeah, I love rain, but if it could hold off, at least til after the Mock-Battle, that'd be much appreciated, heh.
-
yeah rain isnt fun in my csplays seeing how for some reason i dont have a single warm one! (must fix that)
-
For me it isn't even a matter of comfort. I actually would be comfortable in the rain (anything to keep me cool is gooood), but I have props and pieces that just couldn't hold up in the rain, so I try to keep them dry.
-
I actually don't think too much would happen with Kuja, the paint would run on the feathers and possibly the dye would run but that is is. The dye shouldn't run because I rinsed that wig really well.
-
Well, I'm sure the leather and parts would fare better dry. I'll just hope it doesn't rain.
-
its fake leather....it would probably do better dry but oh well.
I have a question, what color is an Elixir? I plan on making one that is drinkable for the battle since Kuja uses a lot of magic :P
-
It depends on which game you're referring to. I know there are pixelly images of them in VII (like when you pick one up or find one), but in IX....hmmm...I'll have to take a look. I would imagine they are light blue. That is what they are in VII anyway.
-
Well I will get the game Saturday so I should be able to figure it out :P
-
go for blue deffinatly, If glitter didnt stick so bad I would bring some of that ._.:
-
I make potions and elixirs; made a bunch for Garnet last year, remember? I'll bring my box-o-FF items and we can use 'em.
I have... elixirs, hi-potions, potions, phoenix downs, phoenix pinions, antidote, and a few others. And LOTS of summoning gems. ^^
-
I made my Elixir out of blue Mt Dew :P

-
yay elixer! looks awesome nikki!
-
Oh man that's soo cool.
Love the coloring of your eyebrows
-
That's a really great photo, Nikki! You look amazing.
-
Thanks. I had a lot of fun today.
-
i really wanna do vincent but theres already too many ff7 people
-
Poppycock! There's never too many VII cosplays! ^_^
-
You did look amazing nikki.
-
now to change my decision now and forever for this battle
-
lol, there will always be next year for a different idea.
-
exactly
-
So, did you decide on Vincent then?
-
yep but ima have shorter hair then him
-
Oh, well, still awesome! Gonna do Lulu some other year then? I'd still encourage you to do that (if you wanted to). She's such a great character who is rarely cosplayed.
-
Awww... No epic-awesomness of a Lulu this year? =O
If I wasn't so self-conscious about my body, I would so go as Lulu, this year! ><
-
Well, maybe next year. ^_^
And it's better to not do a cosplay if you're going to feel unsure about yourself. Always cosplay so you feel good about yourself.
-
Yep~yep! =D
Next year, I'll hopefully be doing a Thorn cosplay, so I can join in on the awesomeness of the FF MB~!
-
Cool. ^_^ Glad to hear it, heh
-
I just have to hope that my cousin will still say yes, to being Zorn! =O
If not, I will have to find another FF character.
Like Tidus! Since I has his necklace. ^^
-
It tis be epic however.
-
haha, yup, epic epic epic. :)
-
Yes~! You can bet, that even if I'm not in the epic~ness of the MB, I will be watching it! >3
-
Well good. ^_^ If nothing else, I can give you my camera to film it for me, heh.
-
It will be awsome trust me.
-
That would be AMAZING! I would love to film it for you! =O
-
Yay! Thanks in advance for being open. ^_^ If I see you at the battle, I'll probably ask you to help out then, heh
-
I cannot wait to fight as hojo although I am having prblems.
-
And I'd love to help! Helping makes things go smoother~!
I'll more then likely be in a Nana Osaki cosplay.
-
Oooh, I like Nana. ^_^ Sweet, heh. I probably would only need help when I am involved in the battle, so it probably wouldn't be for too long. I would just be using a basic digital camera, so it's not like there's any equipment or anything, haha. I'm small-time film, lol.
And what's going wrong with Hojo?
-
I was wondering if anyone can help me with hojo and fighting for the fact all he does is sommon monsters.
-
That's fine~! I'm small-time film, too~! =D
OH! Ang! Use stuffed animals or something! THROW THEM AT YOUR OPPONENTS!! >D
-
No, Hojo does more than just summon monsters. I just fought him the other day, heh. I can find you some help with that. Just hang tight. ^_^
-
Please and thank you Eve and thank you Cloud ^^
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRyZf71ij2g&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRyZf71ij2g&feature=related)
Yeah, actually. What Cloud suggested is a great idea, heh.
In his first form all he does is Capsule, summoning things. But I'm sure you could employ attacks from his other forms too (Sleepel, etc.).
I dunno, I think you could mix it up, since the lines between Hojo(s) are blurry anyway, heh
-
You mean one of my suggestions actually sounds like...a good idea...? o.o
-
Of course, m'horse! I haven't known you long enough to think of any of your ideas as bad ones! ^_^
But yes, that was the first thing I was thinking too. Stuffed animals do actually make fun and great props for these situations, heh
-
Alright I have enough stuffed animals to do it with ^^
-
I'm glad my suggestion worked. ^^
My brain is here, if anyone else needs a suggestion for something.*nods*
-
If you need any abomination-type monster plushies, lemme know, lol
-
Eve you have some??? I want one.
-
Nothing specific to the game. I just have a lot of monstrous stuff, lol
-
*pokes Eve* This man, is like...UBER amazing! =O
-
I want some I could make some myself too ^^ U am handy when it comes to destroying stuff and I could summon turk Vincent LOL
-
Yay, I am Uber-Amazing. ^_^ *pokes Cloud back* You aren't too shabby yourself, lol
And you totally could summon Vincent, heh. It wouldn't even have to just be Turk V, you could do regular V since Hojo made him that way.
Technically....Hojo could even summon Sephiroth. He is his daddy-o after all, heh
-
Sounds lke fun I want to do and both of you are amazing ^^
-
man 2 pages made in 2 eps of black cat oh well i should focus on getting vincents gun and golden glove
-
that's what happens.
-
*pokes Ang* You're pretty amazin', too! =D
Hey! If I find some left over fabric and stuffing around my house, I might be able to make you a nice(or not so nice) plushie, of a FFVII creature, Ang~!
-
Cool sounds good Amy ^^ I have stuff toys I can cut up and sew in diffrent places.
-
So I just finished playing through VII. It was really helpful in getting me reacquainted with the style and battles. Now the MB can be even better!
-
I need to play that game again it's been such a long time to bad that I don't have that game anymore TT__TT
-
Yeah, I am glad I never lost my copy. It is nice to go back and revisit it every few years. Next: Finish VIII with Kahlan and then do IX!
-
I wish I had a copy of VII to play. That way I could figure out what spells I can use, i'm pretty sure that the spells [names and effects] are different in VII then they are in III, VIIII, X-2, and XII.
I need to prepare a list of spells.. I should also start working on my Mother box soon too huh?
-
Wouldn't hurt to get a start on the box. Can never do it too soon, heh.
And what character are you thinking about? I could help you with spells if I know what to look for.
-
I'm not sure yet, that's the problem...
-
Okay, lol. Weell, I guess it doesn't matter, if you plan to cosplay a party member (because they all share materia and thus could do the same things).
If you get an idea what direction you want to go in, I can help you out.
-
yeah, I'll have to think about who, seeing as my cosplay resources are limited... I'll let you know tomorrow... Maybe later tonight, I'm scaning in some pics right now so that'll give me some time to think. XD [I keep watching Repo over and over today... it's like the 6th... [[i lost track]] time today I've watched it... ima go get some cerial Lucky charms or Pops?]
-
How about pops? lol
Yep, Repo! is a fantastic film. Best of the year (even though the critics called it the official worst movie of 2008/9).
And yeah, I will be here if you get any ideas, heh
-
I picked Lucky Charms XD I wanted crunchy Marshmallows
Yeah, I've watched it at least 10 times since I've gotten it... I was singing it last time I watched it. All the way through... I hurt my throught singing Chromaggia XD
Cool cool, I'm gunna get off in a little while when I'm done scanning I have to switch computers.. XD gives me a chance to finish uploading the TWEWY pics from MONTHS ago XDD
-
Have fun with that, heh.
And I know what you mean about "Chromaggia". I've had plans to do a metal cover of that song for a while now, just have never done it cause I can't play anything but the bass. I'd love to get some black metal vocals to that one, though.
But this is way off topic, so lessee....You were talking about FFVII characters and spells, right? Or were you referring to FF games in general? I tend to forget not everyone is always talking about VII, lol
-
From VII, OR IX, I kinda wanna do Zidane or Garnet, I could do a red dress version of Garnet since I don't have a white dress... But it's a stretch, I havent worn the dress in two years so i don't know if it fits.. and I would love to find and FF character that uses Katana's since I have two of them.. Besides Katana Turk.
I love the song, it would be amazing to hear a metal version of it.
-
Well, Katanas...Cloud has a katana-like sword in VII. But that's about it. Steiner could use one, but it would be a stretch.
And as far as spells go, in IX you'll be much more limited because that game operates on a class system, meaning everyone can only do what their class allows them to (I'm sure you know all this already, heh). So the only spells in the game are black magic (Vivi), white magic (Garnet, Eiko), blue magic (Quina), and then various character skills. VII is much more loose on the spell front.
-
I know.. I don't have the materials to make steiner.. And Nikki's already doing Cloud right? or was she changing to Kuja? I think I might do a red version of Garnet since it's easy.. It just sucks that she isn't able to use other magic besides white. Though i could be a healer mostly and attack when needed. That's how I ended up defeating the game.. Oh! I almost forgot about the Eidolons [I think that's how you spell it.] and her summoning ability.
-
Yeah, Garnet summons Eidolons, can heal, and physically attack with rackets or staffs. I would just give you the heads up that you do run the risk of not getting noticed since Garnet doesn't wear a red dress in the game, to my knowledge.
You could always make the cloak she wears at the beginning of the game, when she is escaping Alexandria. That would be cute. http://www.kackreiz.net/wp-content/uploads/ff/9garnet.jpg (http://www.kackreiz.net/wp-content/uploads/ff/9garnet.jpg)
But yeah, she does have a few eidolons that you could tinker around with: Ramuh, Shiva, Ifrit, Atomos, Odin, Leviathan, Bahamut, and Ark.
-
Yeah, the cloak is cute, maybe i'll make that and have like a staff or lacross racket or something like that.. I'll have to go back into the game and see what Eidolons I had gotten for her. I think i didn't get all of them for her.. I know I did for Eiko. Maybe make a Eidolon plushie to carry around? but i'd have to buy stuffing and fabric..
-
An eidolon plushie would be cute. And Ark was the really hard one to get, I never got that one. Any of them would be really cute though.
-
Yeah.. I'd have to figure out which Eidolon to make though.. i think I got Ark, lemme go see.
-
It'd be a hard one to make, that's for sure. It was just a massive airship-type thing, I think. My personal preference would go for Atomos. I loved that one. And it would be pretty easy probably. Round orb with spikes and a big mouth, heh.
-
yeah, probably. Turns out Garnet DOES have all the Eidolons. I'm checking Eiko if she's got all them too... yup all four of 'em. I didn't think I had been so through with my game, all of them have the best weapons and spell and such. i'm making a list of Garnets spells and such so i won't forget to do it later.
-
Okay, cool. So you think you'll be doing Garnet for the MB then?
-
yeah, I will be Garnet. I'll just need to figure out when I can find a sewing machine white and red fabric an material for the plushie.. How big do you think Atomos should be? I kinda wanna put a clip on it so it can perch on my shoulder.. A Bomb plushie would be cute too XD
-
I'd say anywhere between 6"-12" would be pretty perfect. It'd be really cute if it was perched on your shoulder, haha
-
good luck on your garnet! i've wanted to make her for a long time.... but i think im just gonna give up on that... i've never played 9 and id hate to ruin her char because of it. and i could always use the 5.5 yards of orange fabric i have for something like phenix... or something muwhahahha
-
Oooh, Phoenix! Would looooove to see that!
And hopefully you'll do Garnet next year too, Konan. We're getting quite the IX group put together already. I'll be Steiner, Kahlan will be Beatrix, Nikki will be Kuja again. Should be coool.
-
Hell ya! I'll do garnet next year for sure! I'll hunt for a good picture of Atomos and I'll have to re play IX so I can get reaquainted with Garnets habits. I keep replaying the end cause i like the fight with kuja @-@ pretty colours
should probably switch computers soon...
-
heh, yeah, I look forward to playing through IX again soon. If you would like to see Atomos (or any video clips) without playing the game, you can go here: http://bluelaguna.net/movies/ff9/fmvs.php (http://bluelaguna.net/movies/ff9/fmvs.php)
http://bluelaguna.net/viewimage/ff9/fmvshots/1411/17.jpg
(http://bluelaguna.net/viewimage/ff9/fmvshots/1411/17.jpg)
-
Ah, thanks Eve, you are a life saver, saves me the trouble of having to go into battle with Kuja XD
-
haha, no problem. ^_^ That site has been a crazy awesome resource for a long time.
-
I bet, I'll start drawing up a pattern and such for Atomos also, did you notice that Garnet's cloak looks like the with mage cloak from III?
-
Yeah, I'm sure it's a subtle reference to her class, heh.
-
I wouldn't doubt it. They all have a charateristic from III Zidane [theif/warrior] Steiner [Knight] Vivi [black mage obviously] Garnet [evoker/white mage] Eiko [evoker/geomanger] Kudja[[the red haired dude]] [ranger/red mage] Elphina[[the rat lady]] [ranger] and the guy with the big tongue named him bridget[[dunno why]] [no class]
-
Well, that's all because IX is a return to the class system common to old school RPG's. Each party member is a different class, meaning a different role or type of character.
Mystic Knight (Steiner)
White Mage/Summoner (Garnet, Eiko)
Thief (Zidane)
Dragoon (Freya)
Blue Mage (Quina)
Black Mage (Vivi)
Monk (Amarant)
-
Yeah, I still love the game despite the class system. I noticed that it didn't stay for long. in 12 there's no classes X-2 i think as well..
-
No, there has been no class system since IX (not counting XI, because that's an MMORPG and class system is deep in that type of game). I actually really like the class system; I like the order and structure it gives. Also, the class systems are generally tied to the more medieval/"old school" RPG's (which I really like) and are very different than the futuristic RPG's (like VII and VIII). I like both styles, but I would like to see the class system return in a future game (maybe Agito?).
I'm getting off-track though, heh. I need to go back and edit the first post so it says you're cosplaying Garnet now.
-
So I was thinking for Atomos putting a little wire inside of it so I can make the mouth open and close. Or make it into a sorta puppet type thing. But I still like the idea of it perched on my shoulder. And I'm half assing Garnet, I'm just making the cloak. It's cheaper that way XD.
-
I got ff IX now I just need to start playing it :P I plan on stealing Devins memory card since someone has mine >_>; and I'll start really soon :P
-
Cool, go, Nikki! ^_^
And that sounds pretty awesome, Konan. I can't wait to see Atomos! (I'll try not to steal it, but I make no promises, lol).
And now that I think about it, I think you were right about X-2. X-2 did operate on a class system, it just was much more polished and subtle than the other games. Also, there were a lot of more obscure classes, not just the typical ones you see in other games. It definitely was a class system, though. Thief, Gunner, Alchemist, Dark Knight, Samurai - Good stuff.
-
yup yup. Never really like X-2 though... too charlies angels to me. I've drawn up the plans for Atomos.
-
If you need any help, just ask.
So, how many Garnets and Zidanes are gonna be in the battle? XD
-
I'm doing the cloak version of Garnet
-
It seems like there was a lot more then there was originally going to be. I think I could have gotten the ffIX ball rolling :P
-
i need to go buy some bottles for my potions and feathers for phoniex downs
-
So I am curious who all plans to make items and things for this? Bucket_Stalker, you do obviously. Anyone else? Anyone willing to share?
I do plan to make some items myself, but it would just be nice to know for reference.
-
I may be able to put some thing together, not sure what though
-
I think I would like to make (at least for my use): potion, ether and phoenix down. If other things come to mind, I may go somewhere else. But I would at least like to work on those, I think.
-
Haha i could make a moogle plushie instead of Atomos.. or both. SAVE POINT!
-
haha, a save point would be great. And bring a tent! lol
-
wat colors are would feathers be for a phoniex down red or a dark orange or a light red thats not pink
-
probably dark red tinged with orange.
Bah tents Who needs tents when you have a save point?
-
save point restoration only works in KH. Unless it's in other FF games. I've only seen FF7.
-
What do you mean Save Point Restoration?
And tents are good because they let you heal at Save Points.
And Phoenix Downs would probably be dark orange with red streaks.
-
Psh duh, of course i mean Save point Restoration. they do that in FF XII. :3 revives too.. though to revive it'll cost ya a pretty potion XD
-
OH, yeah, that was nice, did that in X if I remember right.
-
I've got stuff too! ^^ Potions and stuff, all edible! Well... except the phoenix downs and pinions...
Unless...
Do they make edible feather candies?!
-
Hmmm, if they did have edible feathers, it would probably be some sort of cotton candy creation. Actually, probably wouldn't be too hard to do if you did have cotton candy...just be kinda messy.
But no, I don't think you would have to worry about the Phoenix Downs being edible. They just get sprinkled over people anyway.
-
Except with Aerith. They don't work on her...
*has a revelation*
WE NEED TO KILL AN AERITH WITH A SEPHIROTH AT THE BATTLE! For old times sake... and to show the futility of phoenix downs. XD
-
lol, that inevitably happens every year. Every single year, everyone gets together and thinks, "There's not a chance this has been done before!" and gets Sephiroth to kill Aeris......again, lol
-
Oh I know it's been done countless times... but think of the reason why; it's a classic!
-
Could have someone else kill Aeris >>
-
... someone should be a zombie Aerith.
-
Have you seen the zombie Aeris on CosCom? It's pretty fantastically done.
-
oooh No I haven't~
It would be a fun turn of events, though... A Zombie!Aerith returns from the dead and takes out Sephy. XD
-
Yeah, that would be pretty crazy, heh. All possibilities, this year or some year.
Kahlan will be Aeris this year...I'll have to fight off all the crowds wanting her to die, lol
-
ok im gona make half of the phoneix downs wat eve suggested and the other half wat konan suggested
-
Well, if (hell, who am I kidding? WHEN) she does, I'll spirit her off, apply zombie make-up, and then she could take out Sephy! XD j/k
-
haha, definitely would be amazing. The Great Gospel returns!
-
would she use Un-Holy?
-
come to think of it... at our final fantasy 4th of july parade group our sephy DIDNT kill airth...
-
come to think of it... at our final fantasy 4th of july parade group our sephy DIDNT kill airth...
Really? Remarkable, lol
would she use Un-Holy?
Un-holy.....I wonder, heh. She would have the Cursed status, so it would be impossible for her to cast Holy. What would substitute that, then? I think she would probably just cast Meteor on Sephiroth, beat him to it, haha
-
Oh please, that's why I said UN-HOLY it's the opposite of Holy dur du dur
-
But Un-Holy isn't a real spell, lol. We've gotta be accurate now.
-
I know, I was kidding XP
But she can't use meteor can she? I haven't played in years so I dunno.
-
No, but she can't come back as a zombie either, lol.
Let's compromise, how about this: If Aeris were to come back as a zombie, she would have the Cursed status, and do physical attacks, which would essentially have Hades' status linked to them, meaning she would physically attack with Princess Guard and cast Cursed, Poison, Mini, Toad, Confuse, Silence, and Darkness.
How about them apples? lol
-
Alright I got ffIX I got my memory card and I am ready to start playing.....I mean researching :P
-
haha, the best type of......study....out there, lol.
Have fun, Nikki! Tell Artemecion the Moogle I said hi, lol
-
lol lucky! i've never realy been able to play 9... no memorycard for ps1 ;_;
-
Hmmm, know anyone with a PS3? You don't need memory cards for that.
-
I never got rid of my memory card for my ps. I didn't have any games for it for a while but I still had the card :P
-
Same here. That is actually why I was originally a little bummed when I got the PS3. Call it naivety, but I got the PS3 and thought "Well, where's the memory card go?" ^_^
I had to start FFVII over, but that was a good thing. Not too bad, heh.
Anyway, Mock Battle! I'm still excited.
-
Alright, Eve sounds good. I still need to re play VII I got past the train part in the begining and gave up >> Then again, I was little so I got mad with it.. Haven't seen it sence.
I think I'll make some potions and elixers and other stuff of that stuff XD. As well as my moogle, Atomos, AND tent plushies. Happy Eve? I'm bringing a tent!
I'm sticking to my PS2 for some strange reason it lets me play certain PS3 games..
-
lol back to the mock battle eve? xD btw do we have an offical plan yet?
-
I think we're still figuring that out XD
-
Official plan in what way, Chelsea? Basically we're meeting for the pre-battle at the Early Con to walkthrough it. Then at Kumoricon, the real MB will be after the FF Photo Shoot on Saturday.
And I was kidding about the tents, you don't have to make those, Konan, lol. I don't know what we would do with them, really, heh
-
that's why it's a plushie perched on my shoulder :3 i'm putting clips and such on the bottoms of them so I can clip em to my shoulders/head. And it's only one, with patchwork :3
-
I plan on making a few types of items, mainly mp recovery ones :P
-
hey wait didnt they have phoniex downs in ff7<----- late post about the arieth thing
-
as in who aganst who is what i ment lol
-
hey wait didnt they have phoniex downs in ff7<----- late post about the arieth thing
Yeah, they did have Phoenix Downs in FFVII. Are you wondering why they didn't use a phoenix down on Aeris when she got killed?
Well, to make a long explanation short, when a character gets beat in battle, they don't technically die - they just get KO'd. Thus, it is possible to be brought back from unconsciousness, but not from death - which is what happened to Aeris.
as in who aganst who is what i ment lol
Oh, well no, not really. I figured we would basically square off people from each game (VII, then VIII, IX, X, etc.). And then if anyone wanted to do individual battles or trans-game battles (VII vs. IX, etc) then that can be done too. It is very open and mellow, really.
-
So I am going to go against like 6 people? XDDDDD I WILL WIN!!!!!!
-
It doesn't have to be that way, basically whatever people want to do, lol. My only concern is doing a FFVII battle.
-
lol eve loves all us non-7 cosplayers so much... hes so concered >.>
-
I still think it would be funny to have me against 6 people :P
-
lol eve loves all us non-7 cosplayers so much... hes so concered >.>
lol, I was just explaining that it is up in the air. The plans are open to suggestions. Didn't think you all wanted me running all tyrannical over your suggestions, lol, but whatever. Here is the plan:
We'll start off with a battle for each game, and work out from there. How's that? :)
-
im gona have trouble making vincents cerberus or should i just use his wepon of choice the hand gun

Well, it depends. Which version of Vincent were you thinking about cosplaying? If you are doing the game version, then the handgun would be perfectly acceptable. Even if you were doing the AC/DoC version, he still has a bunch of different guns. I would just do whatever you want to do, and not worry too much about it.
-
yeah so far I'm leaning to do Cerberus if i can make it actually look like it ill use then if not just the handgun
-
Ah, okay, well good luck with that.
The one thing I'd suggest is for the barrels of the gun, use PVC pipe. Three pipes = three barrels.
-

I second Eve's suggestion, there.
PVC pipe is great when it comes to making Vincent's gun.
I had to help a friend with that, once before and PVC pipe was a lifesaver~! <3
-
Yup, it basically makes the most part of the gun. After that, you just need to sculpt/shape the handle and trigger, and the little figures on the barrels.
-
yeah i was thinking of useing pvc pipes for that and ammo roll will use smaller one
-
Ammo roll? You mean the chambers? I was thinking you may actually want bigger PVC pipes for those. They'd be shorter, obviously, but you would probably want to get wider pipes than those you would use for the barrels.
-
ok an shut up im not a gun expert
-
heh, I was just asking to make sure that is what you meant. I didn't want to give you advice for something if you meant something else.
Anyway, you can carry this on over to the cosplay progress thread or something, it's getting off-track.
-
Aw spoil our fun why dont you Eve XD
-
Well, everyone is picking fights, lol.
I am trying to explain it as best as I can, I don't know what else you want me to say. ::)
-
boffin guns D8 Its the 4th all over again I cant wait x3
-
I'm not picking a fight am I?
I'm gunna try and find some bottles later this week for potions and other stuff like that :/
-
Wow... 87 pages of replies...
I thought cloud would be the first to fill up.
My costumes are Squalla and Clouder.
Holla for Squalla or louder for Clouder.
-
Squall? squall=teh sex
-
either would work, I am not too sure of many ff8 people going through so it might be better for you to go as cloud >_>
-
That's great, though, glad to have either one. And your rhyme is fun, haha
I would say go as Cloud, since (like Nikki said) we won't be having many people from VIII this year, may leave you without much to do if you cosplayed Squall. There are plenty from VII though, heh.

No, I guess you weren't really. It is mainly Chelseahavoc and Bucket-Stalker. I know they both are just playing around, but nitpicking (even jokingly) can get really taxing after a while. I was trying to answer questions and my answers just weren't good enough, lol. But, I know Chelsea was just joking, so I will let it pass. ;D
-
xD i had to go back and see that i "nitpicked" about xD sorry. i personaly say squall just because i always see clouds. but if you wanna be part of a larger grup then be cloud
-
i forgot wat potoin bottle were shaped like
-
theres actualy "potion bottles" being sold at hottopic. i think they were 5 bucks? little tiny things. but i think they had something to do with wow...
-
Well, they tend to vary from game to game (and usually you don't ever get a clear shot of what they look like in game anyway). The typical idea of what potion bottles look like is the small, round bottle (like in Nikkiolie's avatar pic).
But if you want to get really technical, this is what they look like in Crisis Core (and all of VII by extension, I guess): (https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cscoutjapan.com%2Fen%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2008%2F07%2Ffinal-fantasy-vii-potion.jpg&hash=b32054ab1c9f64605470c10af66ae9bb6087204a)
theres actualy "potion bottles" being sold at hottopic. i think they were 5 bucks? little tiny things. but i think they had something to do with wow...
Yeah, the Mana and Health Potions, taken from World of Warcraft. They definitely work nicely if you can't find anything else. They are what I used last year. You can get them at Hot Topic, Best Buy, or Fry's. Probably other places too.
-
Eve where did you get that picture?
-
Google image search for "potion". Third result, heh. It is actually the Anniversary Potion Square released in Japan a while back. Lucky ducks. I want one, heh
-
That's great, though, glad to have either one. And your rhyme is fun, haha
I would say go as Cloud, since (like Nikki said) we won't be having many people from VIII this year, may leave you without much to do if you cosplayed Squall. There are plenty from VII though, heh.
Makes enough sense to me. I'll rock on with Cloud. Looks like Squall's position is filled up anyways.
-
Could have someone else kill Aeris >>
I have no problems with killing Aeris. :)
-
i found one of the bottles like eves pic for 75$ but i dont think ill buy it
-
Sheez I want one of those OwO
I'm gunna hunt for bottles today and take prices down since I gotta save my money for saturday.
-
i found them for cheaper and i got some bottles for mana and other stuff like antidote
-
I was totaly gunna go take cans back today and find bottels. Huray for procrastination. I'll do it tomorrow XD and find fabric for the Moogle Tent and Atomos plushies.
hey eve, dosen't Atomos kinds resemble the shoop da whoop thing off of 4-chan?
-
Does anyone else notice how that bottle looks kinda......dirty >_>;;;
-
Yeah, your right, it does, I think it's just the resolution of the photo though.
-
The resolution of the photo wouldn't alter the shape of it >_>;;;
-
dirty in both instances...
-
true.. >> i'm probably blind. oh wait, i am
-
Where did you get the bottle in your avvie, Nikki?
-
A craft store.
-
don't talk **** about my potions they are uber special awesome*sits in corner and pouts*
-
You all who said the bottle looks dirty.....TSK. TSK. *shakes head in shame*
And maybe this weekend I can go bottle hunting. I am really in the mood for it now, heh
-
you should we need more items always stock up before battles
-
Yup yup! Gotta make sure to have 99 of everything!
-
XD that's what a game shark is for
-
boo game shark i only use if ive beaten the game already
-
There's no Game Shark for real life, haha. We gotta make 99 potions!! (I'm just kidding, heh. I will make one or two, maybe.)
-
wait how will we decied attack points and hp and mp
-
The battle isn't going to be that specific. It is just cosplayers playing around. We'll battle until people want to stop or do something else, or switch to different characters. More like us just going through the motions as opposed to doing a REAL battle with rules and HP, MP, and stuff like that.
At least, that's how I'm picturing it.
-
ok cause that confused me
-
Yeah, really this is just for fun. I don't want anyone thinking too far into it really, heh. It's just the most simple thing, just people acting out their characters in a battle scenario.
-
maybe i could get little balls or candy for items for me.. seeing how i'll only have tiny little pockets
-
Yeah, you have a lot of freedom with X and X-2, since you don't really see any of the items from those games. Only spheres, heh
-
Which reminds me....I need to see if I can find a picture of a potion in FFIX *starts playing* I'm doing pretty good. I just got Freya and am about to see Kuja for the first time :3
Ok there are just little bottles but they are shaped the same as the one I have. In IX the potions are blue, ethers are red and elixirs are yellow....so I need a yellow liquid that is not pee >_>;; XD
-
lol, you could always just dye water, or get some arizona lemon teas, or ginseng sobe.
-
Yeah that might work. The whole carbonated drink didn't work too well. It bubbled over a lot x.x
-
dont for get lemon aid
-
yeah and lemon aids tasty too! ooo i could use boucy balls.... if i dont eat them... hmm what other thing could i use thats round ish and doesnt melt...
-
ummm jaw breakers
-
You eat bouncy balls chesea? weeiiirrrd I used to tear em apart when I was younger >>
But those hurt >> Foil balls?
-
Gum balls or jawbreakers sound like they'd probably be pretty fitting with Rikku, heh
-
Foil balls too they're shiney >>
-
yeah and i need to know where to get pvc pipes that sizes varies
-
Lowe's or Home Depot are both great for PVC pipe. They have many different widths of pipe, all for really cheap.
-
all right thanks ill go to both soon
-
gum balls sounds like a good idea. jawbreakers hurt too much xD and you cant blow bubbles with them
-
Yeah, that makes sense, heh. So would you have a different color gumball for each item or something? Sounds like it could be really cute. Really in-character, too. (Rikku's totally a gum-chewer and bubble-blower, ^_^ )
-
But what if the gum falls out? You should say 'Disasteriffic' XD haha I love that line
-
haha, that'd be great. I love it when cosplayers adopt their character's phrases and mannerisms - takes being in-character to that next level.
-
lol yup! when ever im in rikku i do my best to stay in char. i pratice manerisums and lines until my friends wanna shoot me xD
and yeah eve i think id have diferant colors... hmm maybe green for antidote?
-
That'd be really cute, Chelsea. I think you may be on to a new product to market to FF nerds, now! Item Gum - get your potions and antidotes here! Chew em til you feel better! lol
-
xD!!! omg you just made my day right there
-
I'd buy a bag...or fifty! lol
-
hmm... i should run around the con randomly give them to people that look sick or something xD...
-
They'd definitely be useful in the MB, heh. Just pop one to an ally when their in need, lol
-
wait when will this be
-
This will be at Kumoricon, Saturday, after the Final Fantasy Photo Shoot, which is at 1:00pm (so probably 3:00pm).
-
And we are doing a run through on August 16th
-
ok
-
I noticed that someone said participants would meet up at the Hilton in Downtown Portland between 6th and broadway. I'm going to assume that the mock fight event would be practiced somewhere not at the Hilton hotel since I'm sure that the rent-a-cops are dying to earn their pay.
-
lol
-
That's only for the Pre-Con Walkthrough. When we do the actual MB during Kumoricon, we will have a set location for it, so we will meet there. We just don't have a place picked out yet, which is what we aim to do at Pre-Con.
-
Sounds doable Eve :3
-
So glad I found this thread!
I'll be attending as Red Mage. :3
-
I'm considering not being tifa for this 0.o...... IDK I have a different one I could be but its not like she has any fight moves so I dont know...
-
I just didnt get as much done with my tifa cosplay as I would have liked to.
-
If you can't make the practice MB can you still be in the one at the con O_o -has work-
-
I dont see why not, I'm not going to the practice one.
-
Yeah, you still can participate. It isn't a difficult concept to pick up, so anyone should be able to show up and figure it out.
-
So for the walk-through, participants meet at the Hilton but then go somewhere else for the actual practice?
I can't think of any empty public places near besides that playground near the rose garden/japanese garden ..
Or PSU.. The PSU garages have a nice Tokyo Drift feel to it, but I don't suggest practicing in front of any buildings with staff in them, like the Administrative or Library where half the building is windows.
-
No we are going to meet at pioneer square for the early con. There isn't anywhere to meet outside of the Hilton.
-
Yup, meet at Pioneer Square. Easy enough to find.
-
yeah it is a pretty big landmark :P Hey if we meet at 11 then we could possibly get on the news XD
-
Which building of Pioneer Place? And which floor?
-
read again it is Pioneer Square not place. Pioneer square is outside.
-
Will there be a place we can change into our cosplay? I'll be taking the buss, and wearing Garnet... not a good idea.
-
I don't know. I think there will be a bathroom nearby.
-
im gona hate haveing to go to k-con this day cause id have to carry reno around in my bag (refering to cosplay)only reason for this is because im stayin at my sisters house in eugene so far is my plan. and only reason im complaining is because i set my bags on ground when sitting in chair and most the time forget
-
Wow, lotsa questions (Thanks for fielding them, Nikki).
We'll meet in Pioneer Square, outside area (not the shopping district Pionner PLACE). There are bathrooms at Pioneer Place though, in which you can change into your costume. It is only one block away, so you can easily change there and come over to the Square.
And, Bucket_Stalker, are you saying you don't want to come to this pre-con mb walkthrough, or are you talking about the actual con?
-
im talking pre-con cause my moms havin eye surgery and she wont be able to drive me then and my bro wont want to drive me but ill be able to go to durin con one.but im just whining about wat ill have to do at con
-
Ah, well there's definitely no pressure to come to pre-con if it will be a strain. Like I said before, this MB will be really basic, so you could just as easily just show up at Kumoricon and be fine.
-
i know
-
Oh! has anyone thought of battle music O_o? I have one song that shuffles through the battles themes V-X and an ipod dock I dont mind bringing.
-
Yeah, I had planned to have music in some way. I also have an ihome I was considering bringing, the only problem being finding a place to plug in. If you have a solution to that though, of if yours doesn't need to be plugged in, you're welcome to bring it. Having music would definitely be a great aspect, heh
-
Yay music ^^
-
I was originally thinking to have the themes from each game, and then play them for the different battles, or alter between them or something like that. It's all up in the air, though, depending on how the electronic aspect will play out.
-
that sounds like a good idea. I mean each character kinda has their own theme.
-
Yeah, that's true. I was actually referring to the battle themes from each game, but the character themes could be used also. Everyone could have their own introduction into the battle, lol (like WWE/WCW!)
-
sounds good I think the original battle theme would be the best though ^^
-
i want the victory theme as well and if i get a laptop by then ill play it whenever somone wins
-
that sounds like a plan.
-
The run through is Sunday, we are meeting at Pioneer Square at noon.
-
[face-palm] Eve, I'll only be able to make the first plushie [totaly blanking on the nme at the moment.]
-
Atomos? It's okay. I can't even remember what else you said you were going to make, heh. I'll still be amazed at anything you turn out. ^_^
-
Yeah that one, I was also going to make a tent and a moogle. I might make the tent too, but not the moogle, not enough material.
-
Ah, wow, that would be a lot. There's always next year or some other time. A moogle would be cute, but don't stress yourself out over it. :) Atomos will still be my favorite, heh
-
yeah a moogle is cute but really don't stress out if you cannot do it in time dear ^^
-
Atomos will still blow my mind, haha.
(Or suck it out, rather...)
-
which reminds me... i dont remember if i mentioned this but chibiorochimaru, a few friends, and our self did "battle" for a parade. the music REALY did help me to be in char more
-
That's cool, and I totally agree. I had never even considered battling without the music. It would be like playing the game muted........okay I have done that, but still! lol
-
Ums, I dunno what the context was but I have a moogle plushie if someone needs to borrow it for something. As long as it comes back intact, I'm happy to help.
EDIT: Here's a picture.

Bad picture I know but I see you :P http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Etaru_Kaumoto/cosmode931437.jpg
Yeah, That's super exciting! ^_^ Thanks, Nikki!
-
Now you just got to buy it :P
-
Do you guys think I should go to the Rehersal thing in the full Red XIII get up w/body paint?
-
yes because it would attract a lot of attention :P
Maybe you could skip the paint and just wear the outfit and wig :P
-
I....think I'm going to cut Reno out. xD The wig isn't cooperating and I don't think the EMR is going to get finished. xD So, sorry. There should be a lot of Renos though.
-
Now you just got to buy it :P
Yup. I saw they started stocking Cosmode at the Beaverton Uwajimaya (which I had never seen there before), so I am going to have to pop by there and see if this issue is in.
I....think I'm going to cut Reno out. xD The wig isn't cooperating and I don't think the EMR is going to get finished. xD So, sorry. There should be a lot of Renos though.
No problem. You are officially buh-leeted from the list on the first page. ^_^
-
Thats perfect, because I had to cut Sephiroth. So I could either go as Zell or Reno. Which ever you need more of. But I do a REALLY good Reno. :D
-
Well, you're free to do whichever you want to do the most, Artamis. Either way, I'm sure there will be at least one other cosplayer of your character (Reno or Zell), so just do whichever you want to do more. :)
-
Thats perfect, because I had to cut Sephiroth. So I could either go as Zell or Reno. Which ever you need more of. But I do a REALLY good Reno. :D
Just to put in my two bits, I think your should be Zell, since you go as Reno to everything else~!
-
Eh - its up to you guys. I could do either one.
-
I'd say do Zell, but you may be somewhat on your own this year. I don't know of that many other VIII cosplayers attending the MB. At least with Reno you'll have others to interact with.
-
I would say Zell as well. Not a lot of 8 cosplayers but a lot of 7 :P
-
yeah zell definatly.
-
Alright, I'll play Zell than. I'll have to come up with some nifty psudo martial arts moves. (Doesn't have any experience with it at all. V_V)
-
just be really hyper and jump around happily.
-
Doing research is always your best bet. There are tons of videos all over YouTube, just go searching for VIII gameplay footage or something to that effect.
-
if only my selphie cosplay was finished....
-
Yeah, if you want to do Zell next year too, my fiancee and I will be Laguna and Ward respectively. You'll probably have more of a group next year.
-
hmm sounds like i should finish her for next year then?
-
It'd be fun to have a Selphie, for sure. ^_^
-
ill try then ^^
-
sweet! I'm gonna try to be Rinoa sometime. I got my grandma to knit me the blue sweater/coat thing and arm warmers.IDK if she really is but she likes to knit me stuff and I usually end up not likeing (but not telling her that, I just stick it in my closet after she leaves and never take it out again ^^;) it so I asked if she would make that for me and she said yes so.. yeah lol
-
Hey - if I could get a few Trainee FFVIII characters. That'd be great! I don't have the traditional Zell cosplay. (Because I'm lazy) So, if there are going to be a few in that uniform, that'd be great. :)
-
Waaahaa I have to get a job if i'm going to buy the material for Garnets cloak [emoface]
-
We'll see if I wear full Kuja to the practice mock battle or not. I may be more of a casual kuja for the early con :P
-
I'll probably do Skirtless Garnet for the practice because I don't want to get the skirt too dirty. Might even bring the ol' 'Zidane stole my skirt' sign. XD Got my potions done! Just got to fill the potions, hi-potion, and elixir with their respective juices! Also; it's all either juice or candy!
EDIT
I take that back. Just got a look at the dress today and started fixing it; I've got to remake the top completely. There's a bunch of seamline tears I can't really fix without taking it apart, so I'm just going to make Yuna and use the leftover to remake Garnet's dress top. So I'll just wear the wig! XD
-
I wish I could come to the practice xO stupid work -kicks air-. oh well : / just have to make up for it at the real thing.
Oh and I don't mind if you need the music ^_^ I'm pretty sure mine takes batteries.
-
I need to get tape so I can bind properly. I plan on it being better than last time, now that I wont be burnt to a crisp x.x
-
Speaking of music, I've got soundtracks um... FFIII-FFXII not counting FFXI, soundtracks for crystal chronicles, dirge of cerberus, crisis core, advent children, the FF piano collection, all three Black Mages cds, and FFX-2 soundtrack. So if any help is needed with getting the music, just ask for a song and I've either got it or can find it. ^^
As a sidenote; Wedding Yuna. Holy crap. O.o just got done cutting out and altering the pattern pieces... that train. @.@ Think my Garnet from last year time three in length and four in width. XD
Thank the video game gods for the clips I'm sewing into the underside so I can roll it up into the feather motif~
Aaaand back to the mock battle; I don't think I'll be able to bring my Tiger Racket for Garnet because I'm taking the bus to it. But I will bring my potions, hi-potions, elixir, soft, vaccine, phoenix downs, phoenix pinions, annoytment, antidote, remedies, summoning jewels, and ether for the practice. Yay for candy, juice, feathers, and costume jewelry!
-
WOW you are bringing a lot of stuff x.x I need to get my potion bottle out of devins car :P
-
Yeah, as far as music goes, between Kahlan and I we have a lot (all the music that I would want anyway: FFVII-X-2, Crisis Core, AC, Black Mages, Distant Worlds...all that awesome stuff). I just need to put it all on my ipod and I'll be good for my purposes, but feel free to bring anything you would want if not in that range of what I'd have with me.
And also, Mitsukai, will you be at the con on Friday (Pre-Reg Night)? Kahlan and I will have a hotel room, and if you would like to store your props/items/random things in our room for easy access the following day, you're free to do so. We'd be glad to keep them safe for you. ^_^
-
I have the song that will be played for mine. The one time you fight Kuja in the game he has his own theme :P I like that song a lot XD
-
Yeah, "Kuja's Theme" is so epic and infernal. Really nice, heh
I need to find Barret's Theme now.
-
D:! heather your icon <3!!! i ish so jealous >.>
and... crap i forgot what i was gonna say that was on topic...
-
Ok, I've decided, full Red XIII. Gotta see how well I can attack without actually touching people. It doesn't come off easily but since you guys put so much effort into your cosplays I don't want to take any chances.
-
Thankies chel D8! I have a feeling im never taking Zidane off at the con xD
Can't wait for the battle x3 I have someone who said they would record it for us too (not like a million people will anyways r.r)
-
oh noes zidane takes the place of oro? and is it sari?
-
But I lover Zidane so it's fine.
-
I want a Zidane :D
-
Nikki you want a zidane so it won't be easy to steal Garnet right?
-
....sure >_>;;
-
Ooops did I just give that away << *Sigh*
-
I don't want him there because it would be harder to kidnap Garnet I want him there for other reasons >:3
But I got tape to bind today and some skin colored paint to help hide it. I am ready to go for the run through.
-
I know it would be harder but I think it will be cooer tht way you two fighting over the princess
yay you got binding ^^
-
So nikkiolie....you know im going to demand pictures with you right -cough cough-
-
Its alright I will want some with you too :P
-
w00t n.n!
-
what kind of pictures lol
-
the best kind ;) XD Epic ones of course :P
-
Yes because you guys are epic XD ^^
-
Naturally they are, it's just their natural state of being
-
of course ^^
-
I feel so loved here n.n -bows to everyone's epic-ness-
-
If everyone's so epic than that will automatically make the battle awesomesauce, case closed.
-
of course our battle will be awsome.
-
we shall um....be all over youtube? O_o
-
*Reading all the postage she missed*
I'm getting... stolen? And fought over? O.o Meep!
By the way, depending on how late I get home and how much fabric it takes to cut out Yuna(Got the pieces altered, just got to cut the fabric) There is a small chance I can remake the shirt tomorrow(Today? XD) and then wear it to practice. But that's a very slim chance~ Hopefully I'm not completely bushed and decide to at least TRY to remake Dress Garnet's shirt/overdress part... now to just figure out where I stashed the pattern... xD
EDIT
Forgot I'm bringing Eye drops and Echo Screen... pretty much all usable items from FFIX. XD And Eve, I may just take you up on that offer if I can't find myself a room and end up having to take the bus. Does the bus run at like... midnight? XD
EDIT AGAIN! ^^;;
Holy Eidolons... I just saw your Zidane cosplay on deviant... Amano Zidane?
...
Garnet is SO glomping.
-
we shall um....be all over youtube? O_o
That is the best part Zidane ^^
-
Hmm... I just noticed I was put down as 'Wedding Garnet'. I love how everyone thinks that dress is a wedding dress. XD
-
it looks like one but I do not blame you.
-
Alright I did a little research and the two times you fight Kuja he uses just a few attacks: Demi, Thunderga, Flare Star (lots of this), Flare, Holy, Curga, Reflect, and finally Ultima (ends both battles)
I will work on his stance and what not. He uses a few different ways to cast magic but I may just stick with one :D
-
Nikki you can do it ^^
-
Thank you n-n Garnet AND kuja....so hard to choose.....
I just recently finshed the rest of my last cosplay so I'm gonna have alot of free time, I'm going to try and make a good amount of potions and elixers and what not for those who cant make some n.n
-
could I have some potions ^^
-
xD yep!
I can see me showing up with this giant bag full of various items and dumping them on the ground going "Whos the best thief nao " -generic Zidane pose-
-
Yes zidane is amazing that way I know ^^
-
Wow, so much posting and activity. I'm just glad to see people stoked and genuinely excited about the MB. The more enthusiastic people, the better!
I see a lot of IX cosplayers posting lately, where's my VII peeps? Barret needs some Shinra foos to bust up!
-
I am right here barret
-
I know it seems like ffIX got really popular since I announced Kuja XD
Also I have a very basic plan mapped out for the early con tomorrow, it is posted on the first post of that topic
-
tsh IX is just that much better then ya'll r.r
<3 you Barret n.n
-
hey I am going as garnet next year ^^ And I lovers 7 but nine is like my fav at the moment
-
Yeah, I know, heh, I was just playin' in character. I'm doing IX next year too.
-
Me too. xD so easy to stay in character.
Mine too n.n First one I played through.
: o Your gonna do Garnet next year?! Ima do Eiko
-
And I'll protect you both as Steiner. ;D
-
Me too. xD so easy to stay in character.
Mine too n.n First one I played through.
: o Your gonna do Garnet next year?! Ima do Eiko
Yuppers I am doing Garnet and stiener we love you.
-
I wish we had a oglop cid ._.; Be the most epic- thing ever.
-
you could meake one most likly.
-
Kahlan (General Beatrix) was actually considering making a plushie oglop Cid. Big ol' mustache and all! lol
-
dawws adorable. ;D
-
xD awsome. I thought about making a plush blank to carry around.
-
That'd be really cute, heh. You could have a plushie Blank and someone else could sculpt a Blank statue, for when he got petrified, lol
-
yesh ^^
-
For potions I Have alot of old bubble containers (Like they give out at weddings and such) Do you think they would work well if they got super cleaned and painted?
-
yeah that would work.
-
Sounds like it'd be a nice fit.
I'm kind of perplexed when I go looking for plastic bottles to use for potion and prop bottles. I never have been able to find anything made out of plastic that looks good (excluding the obvious Mana and Health Potion energy drink bottles). All I can find are glass, which is nice, but I don't like the idea of having a fragile bunch of bottles with me, you know?
-
I understand your problem.
-
yeah especially during a random battle >.> If only you could throw the empty bottles at enemies.
I have close to 60+ containers. To the paint!!!
-
where do you live maybe I can come over and help paint ^^
-
Central Point, Or. The middle of nowheres D8
-
wheres that?
-
Near Ashland xD
-
LOL I need to find directions
-
aww thats oki n.n I have alot of time to make 'em
Im thinking
potions- green
Elixers-red
echo screen- gold/yellow
ethers-pink?
-
yeah sounds good ^^
-
I may make an Amano Garnet next year... if there's an Amano version of the dress. Is there? Either way, I'm dress Garnet again next year. Anyway, I'm going to be just Garnet in the sense of the wig and the potions; I'm at a friend's house figuring out her cosplay. She WAS going to be my Shiva, but we ran out of money and Shiva is a 300+ costume if you want to half-ass it. XD And I half-ass NOTHIN'! But she will still be my Garnet/Yuna summon... AS A MOOGLE!
An FFIX one... complete with 'SAVE POINT' stamped on the rear end of her dress. XD
-
Yesh do it.
-
Elixers in IX are yellow. I checked on this just recently. I don't know if I will have my potion bottle tomorrow or not because it is in my friends car. I am trying to get her to go to the run through but I am not sure if she can make it or not.
-
sadness I lovers your potion bottle nikki
-
I'll have it by the con. I may even try to go by there tomorrow just to get it, though I wouldn't have any liquid in it. I'll just borrow the mana potion that Sam has :D
-
Yeah, it is pretty fantastic. The best one I've seen so far (and that's including the official FF Anniversary potion!)
-
I will bring the vials I had last time ^^
-
Well, the anniversary one is great for FF7 because it is very industrial looking, but for 9 you need the typically rounded bottle like the one I have :D They have other shaped ones at Micheal's. Also at the game dance they had a whole bar filled with potions and stuff. It was really cool :D
-
really can you send me a pic?
-
here is the one for 7

here is mine

-
Potion Bar? Sounds like absolute nerd paradise, lol
-
gahh I can't get on of the FF7 ones in time TT__TT
-
Potion Bar? Sounds like absolute nerd paradise, lol
It was really really cool
And that ff7 potion is quite expensive. About $100 it is a collectible after all ::)
-
Yeah, I have priced it multiple times, hoping the price will eventually drop when I find it on ebay or something, heh.
I need to stop by Michael's, keep forgetting.
-
some one should get me one LOL
-
I actually figure the price will go up rather than drop >_>
-
it's true
-
Yeah, but maybe someone will get their hands on one and have no idea what it's worth. I can hope, lol
-
yes that will be the day.
-
I saw one at sakuracon and I should have gotten it x.x
-
Wow, for real? Yeah, I am hoping some of those SakuraCon treasures will trickle down to Kumoricon, heh
-
well see. I hope so too. I would get one :D
-
yes that would makje hojo happy *Twitch twitch*
-
sounds like the win ._. I want one
-
I want one too I tis hoojo I need one *Twitch*
-
Hey, is this still open? If so I could join as Vivi... If not, I will be watching in earnest!
-
you can join ^^
-
Woot! Hehe, I can't wait.
-
LOL we need a vivi ^^
-
Oh, totally! You're definitely welcome to join in as Vivi! ^_^ Welcome. ;D
-
;D ;D YAY EVE ^^
-
yay! I feel so welcome!
-
of course your welcome.
-
Lol, thanks. This is going to be my first con... lol...
-
It's going to be my frist too ^^
-
Nice. Hehe... man this is tough though... My Kios cosplay is all done, but I need to make vivis hat and get one of those see through masks too...
-
Good luck getting everything done. You've still got a little less than three weeks, so you've got plenty of time. ^_^
-
yes you can do it ^^
-
Rodney you need to get everything done too :P
-
Oh, I am painfully aware of that, lol. I am just waiting for Kahlan to be in the mood to sew so she can help me with my vest. That's it. I wish I could do it myself, but I'm sew retarded (get the pun there?) I can't make a needle and thread work together.
-
it's alright I kinda fail at sewing too
-
Lol, I'm sorry to hear that... Really the only thing I'm worried about is money... my mom isn't paying me back the other $60 she owes me yet so basically I'm just on repair duty... my coat for vivi is a little TOO beaten up, lol...
-
I understand I have six cosplays ><
-
I have... 2. Lol. And one is only a cosplay in the sense I'm basing it on one of my characters... That I made, so I'm not stressing there...
-
yeah well I was kinda forced into them LOL
-
Grrrrr why do I have to live so far away >< I'm pretty good with a sewing machine!!!! I'd love to help you guys out TT_TT
Also....Vivi Yay!
-
Yeah, thanks for your consideration, Chibiorochi. ^_^
And yeah, I can't wait to get some pictures of Zidane and Vivi together! ;D
-
I'm so exited n_________________n
-
Hmm... I'm tempted to just be Garnet for the photoshoot again this year. Saves me the time from changing from Garnet->Yuna->Garnet in a very small amount of time. XD Which would be better for the photoshoot; Wedding Yuna or Dress/Queen Garnet? Saturday's my Garnet day anyway, and the others are Yuna.
-
I'd say go with Garnet, since there's no accounting for how many X cosplayers there will be. IX may be better if you want some group activity.
-
Agreed, Go with Garnet. n.n
-
Yeah, probably. I'll be wearing Yuna for two days anyway and it's just easier for me. Plus, I'll be Garnet for a whole day! Yays! xD And since I've got a really good camera now, I can actually get some good pictures with our Zidane and Kuja!
-
Yaaaaay! Were gonna have some good shots.
-
Stick with Garnet we will be a great group :D
-
Just wondering do you guys have a Beatrix yet?
-
Not for this year, to my knowledge, though my fiancee plans to do Beatrix next year, and I'll be her Captain of the Knights of Pluto, Steiner! ^_^
-
ah, Steiner. :3
-
Wow, theres a bunch of IX people eh? Thats cool... I thought I'd be all alone...
-
Hey, I WAS alone last year. Only FFIX person at con. XD
-
that must have sucked...
-
but your dress was amazing! im happy i get to see it again this year!
-
I've been dying to do Zidane >< but finally got around to making it n.n and your dress was amazing
-
Yes, your dress was fantastic. I'm so glad I randomly stood next to you waiting for the J-Rock Panel. I wouldn't have met you otherwise!
-
Its great how things work out like that xD
-
Indeed, heh.
So I just saw this and am slightly alerted to an issue we may have (but hopefully won't). I saw in the policies that any fighting "play or real" is not allowed. Does anyone think the Mock Battle would fall under this description?
-
I dont see why it would upset anyone.
Last year we had a couple random battles and a good couple of people were in them : / I think most people are going to just stand and cheer/ video record and stuff.
-
Yeah, I know Mock Battles have happened before, I just didn't know if this was a new addition to the policies and if anyone thought it would be a red flag. I doubt it, though. It is just such a harmless event, really. We aren't fighting, anyway, we're battling, lol
-
As long as noone starts bleeding of anything r.r I'm lookin' at you Kuja
-
I think it'll be fine. ^^
Turns out I've got enough fabric left after Yuna to remake Garnet's top! Yay! ^^ Once I get that done I'll add the glass beads and fix the skirt. Will probably use more clay and glue to fix the headpiece or remake it; same with the necklace and waist piece. With my new silver wire, it should be good.
I just thought of something; what about items? Who will be the one to grab them and give them to whoever's using them?
-
I know Kahlan will have a few on her, I will have a couple on me. I figured if someone needed one, maybe they could call it out and then someone on their side could toss them one. Maybe?
-
Hmm... possibly. I'll have a ton with me.
-
Or I also suppose if people are acting out their characters, when they are low on health they will be hunched over or physically beat looking, then someone else could use a potion on them anyway, heh
-
Hmm... That would be fun to do with Zidane.
-
Yeah, you will be the White Mage after all. You won't even need items, heh.
-
Or I also suppose if people are acting out their characters, when they are low on health they will be hunched over or physically beat looking, then someone else could use a potion on them anyway, heh
That would be sweet, or they could attack each other to get there limits and trances up XD
-
Yup, should be fun. I want things like Limit Breaks/Trances/etc to be pretty liberal. Like, each person can have their own inner gauge and just do their limit breaks whenever they feel ready, perhaps. It's hard to plan this out without putting too many rules over it, which I don't really want to do, heh
-
I so want to watch this if I can. It sounds amazing.
-
heh, yup, just come on out to the Northernmost Park Block around 3:00pm, Saturday. ^_^
-
I wont do my trance....I'll just end the battle at one point with ultima >:3
-
D: it appers i might not beable to go ;_; even though i have m badge i dont have enough money for a room/gas/food until a monh or so after con ;_;
-
Wait - limit breaks?! If I had to run around the friggen world, I'd never get back in time for closing ceremonies. xD
-
You lost me, Artamisalbrya, lol.
D: it appers i might not beable to go ;_; even though i have m badge i dont have enough money for a room/gas/food until a monh or so after con ;_;
And that sucks! Was really looking forward to meeting you. Hopefully you can figure something out, but if not, there's always next year.
-
One day - take a look at Zell's limit Break. He has to be the flash or something. Because, running that fast around the world? Intense.
-
Oh, "My Final Heaven", yeah, that is intense. I can see what you mean now, lol. Wouldn't want you to miss Kumoricon! Maybe you could just run around the battle area once to replicate it or something, heh
-
Yeah - we'll figure something out. I may just use his other moves and figure something out for that Final Heaven one later.
-
Tsh I could show you all up with my Grand Lethal n.n Thats how cool I am.
-
I dunno about that Zidane, I'll turn you all into dust with "Catastrophe". ;D
-
And that sucks! Was really looking forward to meeting you. Hopefully you can figure something out, but if not, there's always next year.
[/quote]
but i have huge plans for this year! D: mahhhhhh stupid army and thier need to ruin things! >.< must find room and ride... *starts calling random people*
and.... rikku... doenst real have a limit break in x-2
-
Rikku does have her special dressphere though, MAchina Maw. Not that that would be easily reproduced in battle, lol
-
ummmmmm....hello.....? Ultima. I think it is pretty obvious who is going to win XD
-
You put too much stock in your powas, Kuja! (Well, not that you'll be going against me anyway...but if you were, I'd put you to the test, lol)
-
I don't think you could, you are not even the star of your game. Only the star could possibly take me out :P
-
Psh, egos have been the downfall of many a villain. *Shakes fist*
.....even though you're totally right. Barret (and everyone else) is just support. We're the team to support Cloud...we don't do much on our own. But still, doesn't mean I can't rough you up a bit! I'll punch you right in your delicate face!
-
hey be careful I may just blow you other arm off >:D
-
XD You guys make me laugh.
So are you just going to wing it or are the outcomes planned?
-
lol, I was just gonna wing it.
-
Same....though I am kinda hoping that the ix battle ends with ultima >_> they still technically win....
-
Yeah, but you can still get the satisfaction of being the battle-ender, heh.
How are you thinking of doing your spells, Nikki? I know a lot will be effects added in afterward, but did you have any ideas for physical things to represent your spells or anything of that sense?
-
......I didn't think of that....no. I'll figure something out. Maybe.....I don't know >_>
-
Like, for example, one thing I might do is to throw an orange ball for Barret's "Big Shot" or a blue ball for "Mindblow". I may refrain from that though as I'd be throwing with my left hand, and the last thing I want to do is look like an idiot for throwing terribly, lol
-
Maybe I can through feathers or something.
-
Yeah, whatever you want. Again, it's just a preferential thing. Dowhachuwant, lol
-
I have pretty bad aim so I don't think I am going to throw anything, plus it would be more to carry >_>
-
Yeah, that's a good point. I suppose, in a sense, if I won't be throwing anything for regular bullet ammunition, I don't really need to throw anything for other attacks or limit breaks either. We all have strong imaginations, after all!
-
@ Nikki, plus feathers will be messy and the park should be kept clean after the battle.
-
Yeah, definitely.
As for items, I am thinking that for potions and things, they don't need to be used up on one turn like they would in a game. For me anyway, one swig = one potion/ether/etc. That way it lasts longer, heh
-
I was thinking glitter.....but that wont work XD
-
Well, for Ultima, it is like six beams of energy....so, something that you could throw up in the air like an explosion (like confetti) but still be clean and easy to transport. Hmm, that's a hard one.
Can always just add it in afterward, though. You can just call it out and leave it at that or something.
-
You could throw yarn.... Get colors and just use one long strand for each color, yarn's easy to clean.
-
You could throw yarn.... Get colors and just use one long strand for each color, yarn's easy to clean.
That's what I was thinking. Still may be a little troublesome, but seems like the best bet at the moment.
-
Or like, bring a vacuum cleaner or something. XD We used to have one of those hand-held ones.
-
I think we could just add it in afterwards. For magic I would need something like glitter so it is not big deal.
-
Yeah, sounds good to me.
I really need to get on that video editing research. I have to get educated in quality techniques and all that stuff. Unless we want the MB to look like some weird episode of Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!, lol
-
we'll figure somthing out n.n.
Oh, I have 73 potion, Elixer, Ether bottles for who ever wants them.
-
I think I might need some ^^
-
73?! That's such a random number, lol. Nice to have a bounty of them, though.
-
yup
-
damn straight n.n
-
You are the Master Thief, after all. I suppose it is only fitting that you'll have a lot of them....can't have more than 99 though! lol
-
Oh, and I updated the first post with the current time and location that the MB will happen. ^_^
-
Its a good idea to have it updated. I'm sure there will be a lot of questions.
-
I love it - my name is there three times - Zell, Sephiroth, and Seifer. xD Two from the same game!
-
Have you chosen for sure one of the three yet, Artamisalbrya?
-
Hmm... I may need some extra bottles.
-
Hmm... I may need some extra bottles.
Ooh, for what items?
-
Oh damn....I need to get my potion bottle....and Devin is leaving tomorrow =/
I guess I may just have to buy a new one.
-
Yup. It's hard for me to find them except the special glass set I've gathering. Garnet may be a drug - I mean potion - dealer, but she's no master theif. ^^;;
-
Ah, yeah, I haven't seen too many bottles around that have really stuck out, but at Michael's the other day Kahlan and I found a couple bottles that really seem perfect. A couple colored glass bottles, but their shapes and colors are perfect for FF.
-
Yeah, that's where I got my glass potion and what will either be a hi-potion or something else. I'm waiting for them the restock the others... and I just got back from Idaho about an hour ago.
-
xD Now fill them with coolaid!
master theif + sugar = O___________________O
-
Oh, that reminds me...anyone have potion concoctions they suggest? What mixtures have worked for you guys significantly well?
-
Espresso shots o.o;
Also T___T How come i'm not on the list yet -pout pout pout-
-
*gasp* I'm sorry. You slipped through the cracks because I guess I was looking for a formal statement of participation. I'll add you now. Zidane, right? Obviously, lol
-
oh sorry D8! I didnt know there was a diffrent way of signing up! yeah Zidane xD
-
Well, I go to the store and find drinks that are different shades of blue, red, and yellow and then have fun mixing them. I also use candy for some of them, like remedies(Skittles - usually orange -) and ethers(pixie stick dust).
Maybe my concoctions are what caused Garnet to become the 'drug dealer' at the early con. XD
LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME, ZIDANE! REDUCED ME TO AN ETHER-ADDICT! - sulks off to etherolics anonymous-
-
haha, Garnet is the Ether Junkie and Zidane is her dealer (for anyone who has seen Repo! - Garnet is the junkie to Zidane's Graverobber, lol)
-
o.o Does that make me Amber Sweet and chibiorochimaru GraveRobber? XD
-
It sure does, lol
-
...
That tempts me to make an Amber Sweet version of Garnet now. XD
-
lol, is that possible? That'd be a bizarre mash-up, lol, but would make for a really really funny cosplay video/skit.
-
Sure, why not? Instead of Zydrate, Garnet's addicted to Ether! Oh geez... now I'm picturing doing that scene between the Graverobber, Amber, and Shiloh with FFIX characters >.<
-
xDDDD God this is gonna be a big inside joke now
-can see other ff chars going "O_o???"-
-
WOOT
-
...
I am SO going to make an Amber Sweet version of Garnet now. Maybe for the next picnic.
-
xD yes
-
Cool I want to see ^^
-
i might have to be turk vincent
-
costume problems O_o? Anything I can help with
-
Hojo always likes a turk vincent *Smirks*
-
random thing! i was bored and decided it was time for a new chibi ^.^ i figure this would be the best thread for it... lol

awws so cute if not painful I like ^^
-
thanks ^.^ i put it on deviant art and someone told me to do a series of these, one for each game, lol. perhaps i shall... but not right now *yawns* time for some zzzzzzz's
-
Night dear ^^
-
That picture is awesome, and you totally should do a series. You're so good at it!
-
GUESS WHAT
im going =D yay for finding rides and rooms!
-
Woo, yay! Glad to hear it. ^_^
-
I will be going as Kadaj (Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children)
YEY!
-
Could I please be added to the list? I'm going as Red Mage. Put it a while ago but didn't see the list updated.
I also have a friend going as a Moogle, and her boyfriend going as Luxord. Not sure if you wanted to include KH characters since they're part of the FF mixup too.
-
Ah, sorry about that. Consider yourself added. ^_^
And also, I added your two friends. I'm sure there would be some people who'd have fun mixing it up with some FF/KH battling, so they're free to come. And who doesn't love Moogles? lol May be hard to do actual battling with a Moogle, but they can hang around and watch or something, whatever they want.
-
so now we have two luxords going to the con....wow XD
-
You'll probably have some fun with that, eh, Larxene-Nikki?
-
I have a friend going as Amarant hes considering going to the MB xD Thought i'd bring it up.
-
KIDNAP HIM. THE QUEEN DEMANDS IT!
joking. xD Zidane/Amarant pics would be awesome~
-
xDDD Damn Straight! but hes so very tall O_O
-
well, he towers over everyone in the game too, so...
Now I want a pic of you and him fighting over the Pendant(Or Eiko's gem, either one. XD)
-
xD so great
-
Also, if there's a Rinoa... we need to reenact Eve's siggy. ^^
-
xD That would be so epic. I hope we get a Rinoa now.
-
I'll bring the puppy plushie! xD
I'm also bringing 'Mother' for the FFVII people because I got bored when making part of my Yuna staff. xD
That reminds me... I need to get off meh lazy bum and finish everything. ^^
-
Also, if there's a Rinoa... we need to reenact Eve's siggy. ^^
We did that at the last years early con

Ahhhhh good times!
And we totally need more ffIX cosplayers :P
-
Yeah, that was a fun pose, but it's exclusive. We have it copyrighted, lol.
Now Kahlan and I are thinking up shots for Barret/Aeris, heh
-
Bah humbug, I dunno if I can do cloaked Garnet.. Not enough white fabric, nor do I have red fabric. [/sadface]
-
but... but... TWIN! ;.;
-
I'll try to pull something together last minute [I'm sure I can do it... NO I KNOW I'LL DO IT!]
If i'm not cloaked Garnet then I'll have to settle for Punk! Garnet :3 my fallback plan hells yes since it's nearly done anyway..
-
Oh, tragic. Hope you can finish it though. The cloak is so cute. ^_^
-
I doubt I'll finish it this close to con with out it looking crapy unfortuantly. That's why I've got my backup plan Garnet.
Atomos is nearly finished though..
-
Well yay for Atomos! heh
-
it's kinda like a ball.. a patchwork ball... it's adorable though
-
I got a new potion bottle. It isn't the same as the other one. It is one of the tear drop shaped ones. So I'll use that during the battle :P
-
coolio
-
Nice! *thumbs up* I think it would be cool to just get a few pictures of all our items together. The FF treasure trove, lol
-
Yeah it would be pretty sweet ;D
-
... and our master thief's 73 bottles <3
xD
-
Haha I'm working on making a mouth for Atomos.. it's wierd looking actually.. an adorable wierd looking plushie
-
I shall love it, heh. In all it's odd, semi-deformed oglop/hedgehog pie-looking glory heh
-
Haha oglops..
-
Oglop: "Gwok!"
Moogle: "Kupo!"
Chocobo: "Kweh!"
Zidane: "Speak friggin' english..."
-
xD Ahh the creatures off the FF worlds... OH, FORGOT ONE!!!
Moomba: Laguna! Laguna! Laguna! LAGUNA!
Squall: I swear to Griever, if you say that one more time...
(silence)
Moomba: ... Laguna.
BOOM.

Bwah poor Zidane

O__________O meep!

Blank: Well, today the situation in Bermecia is--- WAIT, WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS!
Ruby: What is it, Darlin'?
Blank: It seems there has been a freak accident in the Theatre District of Lindblum. A stampede of Moogles, Oglops, Moombas, and Chocobo ran down the streets in a fury. Luckily, no one died, but one was severely injured.
Ruby: What made 'em do that now?
Blank: Apparently one of the local actors set them off by insulting the way they spoke.
~~~
Garnet: Oh sweet Eidolons, Zidane! >.<
Zidane: (In a hospital bed bleeding out of every pore) I... just told 'em... to speak... friggin'... english... @.@
(Sorry, it popped in my head and I couldn't help myself. xD)
-
haha, I'm sure Kahlan will have fun with this scenario, I feel a comic coming on, lol

great comic idea, as eve said ^.^ maybe i will have to work on that soon... hehe
-
I have a lot of ideas for short comics in my head... just gotta get up and do 'em. xD
-
I hope so, heh. I'm eager to see oglops and creatures in chibi-form. ^_^
And you two should collaborate! I'm crap at brainstorming, so Kahlan could definitely use a partner, heh
-
I sense some very odd skits coming up at the shoot xD
-
I'll bring the make-up and fake blood! *ish actor/costume lady/make-up person*
-
makes me wanna do a comic of it >> should do it... but needs convincing
-
I hope so, heh. I'm eager to see oglops and creatures in chibi-form. ^_^

*smacks you in the arm* you're not crap at brainstorming!
but it would be fun to get some more ideas ^.^
-
heh, well, thanks. But I would like to see some of this acted out or replicated with us cosplayers. Could be really goofy.
-
Hmm... well, a chibi version of my MB idea would be fun. Sephy kills Aerith, Aerith comes back and kills Sephy. >: D Or the infamous "Use a phoenix down on Aerith!" "I can't..." "Why?" "... they're all past their expiration date." xD
Zidane gets in trouble and has to de-rust Steiner's armor.
Zidane overprotective at the Nobles trying to get with the Queen.
Zidane when he eventually gets married to Garnet(We know it'll happen) and becomes King. xD (Zidane on a throne... wow)
Squall's apathy/pigheadedness makes Rinoa mad and equals Rinoa = Ultimecia. (Such a fun idea to mess with. XD)
And so many more...
Oh! of course... Amber Sweet!Garnet getting Ether rom Graverobber!Zidane. ^^;;
@Eve: That would be hilarious: someone should bring a film/recording camera to the photoshoot. >: )
-
OH, it will definitely happen, lol.
-
Oh wow.. that's amazing xD
-
great ideas ^.^ i'll have to take some time to draw some of those out >.O and i can't wait to see the random skits and such that will happen at the mb, i know eve and i have got some random poses and such planned out ^.^
-
Psh, don't lie. We've got next to nothing....or, actually...I just can't remember anything, lol
It will still be fun, though!
-
My brain goes at Mach 3 so I can crank out ideas pretty fast. xD
I've got a lot of random things planned for the photoshoot and MB >: D
Oh, another one!
Kuja and Zidane fighting over a Garnet plushie. xD
-
heh, that'd be cute, too. I like the Steiner-Zidane idea, also, heh.
-
My brain died about a half hour ago..
-
Thus why I disappeared to get this great thing called sleep.
Or, in keeping with the theme of the thread, I had Sleep cast on me.
-
I had a question about the mock battle, do you plan on doing a series one at a time or have a few going on at once?
-
Well, given the space we could probably do two or three at a time (if we have the whole block to ourselves), which I would be fine with. We could also just do it one at a time...whatever people feel like doing.
I know there will be a lot of cross-over battles, so if that's the case doing them one at a time may be easier and less-complicated overall.
-
I think doing them one at a time could be good. It can give people an idea of how to do it and also enjoy the show. I figured each one would be about 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Yeah, sounds good. They don't have to go too long, just enough for people to have fun with it.
-
That is what I was figuring. This should be a lot of fun :3
-
The music aspect is the only thing that may be a problem. A lot of people want music during the MB, and I think the original idea was to add it in afterward in editing. I just can't figure out how we would have the actual music there, without any electricity or non-headphone speakers.
-
Well, if I could get batteries for my cd player I could bring it. xD
-
I think the music should be added in afterwords. It would sound much better anyway. The speakers on the camera wont be able to pick up the sound well.
Also my mom won a video camera in a poker tournament a few weeks ago so I may bring that. It is a little thing but the video is pretty good quality, it is HD after all :P
-
Oooh, that'd be nice! Yeah, I think it would be cool if we could have multiple cameras going over each battle, so when we mix them we'll have different angles, close-ups, etc.
-
The only one I have is my little camera. It's 10 mega pixels and can take HD video, but the video will barely, if ever, take a lot of sound because the sound recorder is TINY on the thing. xD Takes good pics, though.
-
Yeah, I've got a 6 megapixel Digicam, not great with sound either, but if we're adding it in after the fact it doesn't matter too much.
-
We'll need those participating to record their battle cries/lines and stuff then.
-
I don't think I will do any sounds or lines. I think mine might just be text to stay true to the game :D
-
xD that too. : D
-
Well whatever we do we need to do it as a group. So if one person wants to call out attacks everyone does. It would look weird if some where calling out attacks and some where not :P
-
I don't wanna call out attacks.. I'll just trow Atomos at who ever I'm attacking
-
I guess my main thoughts on calling out attacks is that it lets everyone know what you're doing and how to act accordingly. Like, if I did a limit break on someone but didn't call it out, how would anyone but me know that that was a high-power attack (like, in the sense that they would need a potion or something, just to be more dynamic)? I like the idea of doing text in the final version, but I also think for the sake of comprehension, it may be nice to have attacks called out in the battle, if only for our own sakes.
But I do agree, whatever we choose, it should be uniform.
And also, this got me thinking...maybe limit breaks aren't that necessary. Maybe just doing basic attacks would be easier, and still just as fun. *shrug* I don't want to over-complicate it.
-
Well, my attacks are pretty simple, Throw [summon] atomos, heal, use items, and die Dx
[it's konan]
-
Yeah, I get the feeling I may be over-complicating things. I dunno, though. I'm getting a tad overworked...hard to think at the moment.
-
So take a chill pill?
No need to be stressed Eve, it's all fun. Bah! Atomos is a patchwork puppet that's put over top of Miroku. Since I don't want to gut a pillow and stuff it, and it works since Miroku's a tad bit smaller than Atomos so it fits like a glove.. kinda
-
haha, that sounds really cute, Xigbar/Konan. I can't wait to see it. ^_^
And yeah, I just needed a breather. I'm still dying in this heat. I can't wait for Summer to be over.
Anyway, back on topic: I think calling out attacks, like I said, may be a good idea just for the sake of everyone being on the same page. The audio can be cut later on if we want to replace it with text or voice-overs, or whatever - it would just be for the benefit of the moment of battle.
-
I'll call out my attacks, like healing and summoning [throwing] Atomos, but when it comes to using items.. How would that work? keeping track of HP/Mana or is it infinate untill we decide we've died?
-
I wasn't gonna keep track of HP. With items and things, it can just be an arbitrary number or effect. If someone wants to die, they can die, lol. (Or if someone does a battle-ender, like Kuja's Ultima, then that would obviously kill everyone anyway).
-
And can't forget meteor and doom. I'll be able to cary Atomos around without actually holding him. It's gotta string on the head.
-
lol, just keeps getting weirder and weirder, lol. It's gonna be awesome.
-
But's it's adorably creapy
-
I bet, lol. That's a pretty accurate description of Atomos, heh.
But back on topic, hmmm, I'm excited for this. It will be really fun working with all the footage. Hopefully my computer won't crash from the workload, haha
-
that'd be bad if it crashed! I'm excited tooooo.. Like Toucan sam and coco puffs... >>
-
lol, I'm Manic for Mock-Battle! Manic for Mock-Battle!
-
XD that's perfect, that should totaly be someone's attack.. I'm not gunna bring Atomos, the mouth.. it's bugging me so I gotta fix it.. Unless I', gunna pull an all nighter and just not sleep xD repo makes for excelent background noise when trying to stay awake :3
-
Well we could always call out attacks then get rid of the sound during the editing process :D
-
True true.. My Punk! Garnet's almost finished I think.. I've got less than a week to finish it.
EDIT: I JUST REALISED THAT I HAVE A RED CLOAK HO SNAP! But I still don't have enough white... Not unless I inverted the cloak would I have enough for it.
-
Well we could always call out attacks then get rid of the sound during the editing process :D
Yeah, that's what I had been thinking.
-
...ok im gonna prove my late-night-non-smarts whats a "Punk! Garnet"?
-
Garnet in a skirt.. kinda street fashon garnet, but I found a red cloak so.. I'm gunna invert Garnet's cloak so it's white on red instead of red on white
-
Ah, that could be cool. Can't wait to see it!
-
During editing we can add in health points and damage points; just making sure that it reaches zero or more whenever the character dies.
... I just had a funny brainstorm. As an end of the entire MB thing, I mean at the very end of the last battle, Kuja pops out of nowhere, casts Ultima, and EVERYONE(Even Kuja) goes down. Fade to black and a screen that is a collage of all twelve or however many game over pictures from the FFs comes onscreen along with one of the death themes. xD
-
Haha that'd be epic, should be ff9 death music or 7..
-
I can make miss, hit and other attack signs if you guys wanted any of those, i won't be participating in the fight but i will be recording
-
we're not using signs I don't think at least. >> at least I think I already asked that..
-
I would be up for that. I want to kill everyone >:3
-
lol, sounds funny. We're doing several battles, though, so....which one would you like to do the Kuja thing on? heh
-
maybe for one of them we can do all bad guys against all good guys? That would be a good time. I could see all the bad guys like "no no no stop!!! I WANT TO LIVE!" XD
or Kuja like "well if I am going to die I'll take you all with me" and all the other bad guys like "yeah!....wait.....what?!"
-
Oh, I was thinking of some grand finale at the very end. xD
-
sounds like a great plan ^^
-
I like what Nikki said.. >>
-
me too ^^ I like that alot I culd see hojo begging for his life
-
... And dissidia victory theme played right as I read that Ange XD talk about perfect timing
-
that would be epic
-
I'm not kidding, I'm listing to the Dissidia soundtrack RIGHT NOW and the victory theme played righ as I read 'Hojo begging' and I lol'd so hard I almost chocked on my fries
-
hehehehe
-
I'm gunna start working on inverted garnet, though I'm not too sure i really want to put holes in the actual cloak. sleeve less inverted garnet?
-
I tis going as either garnet or zidane next year XD
-
I might squeeze Zidane in next year.
I fixed Atomo's mouth, I'm gunna finish Atomos later today.
-
I want to do zidane *NODS*
I really want t d kuja but I know I cannot pull it off
-
chibi oro keeps telling me to cosplay from 9 xD
-
do eet! another garnet? it'd make three :3
-
Idunno if I want to be another garnet next year after all I want to do zidane ^^
-
i wasn't talking to you ange >>
bah humbug too much sewing..
-
and yes chel do it you would look good as garnet
-
I think you should do Freya, Chelsea. Nobody ever does her, and I think you could really pull it off.
-
Ah! Hadn't thought of her >> what about Beatrix?
-
anybody know who I could pull off LOL
-
You should do Quina, Blackfeather. You seem to share a very lighthearted personality, and I can just see you prancing around like Quina does, lol. You'd do it really well. :)
-
BLANK. ANGE SHOULD DO BLANK.
sorry.. still a little over-excited about having dissidia
-
LOL
-
Sorry, but Blank is fricken amazing
-
Blank is pretty cool. I was hoping to see a Tantalus cosplay group next year: Blank, Marcus, Cinna, Baku, Ruby, and Zidane. Be kewl.
-
you want me to do blank?Personally I think that is a ood Idea however I really want to do zidane XD he so awsome and I like hitting on people
-
haha.. it happened again. victory theme right when I read 'I like hitting on people'
bwahahaha Do blank. He's amazing
-
whahahahahahaha i should be petrified and people should carry me around LOL
-
seriously.. it's would be epic
-
I want to try to wrangle the topic back towards the MB since it's getting really close. So, does anyone have any questions or anything they are unsure about? Let's get as much worked out as possible.
-
Hmmmm I think all my questions right now would be really stupid to ask since they've already been answered.
I fixed the mouth, it looks better now. it's still freakish looking
-
well do we know who we are going to fight or will it be random?
-
There will be several fights, arranged by game. People who cosplayed from the same game can fight each other. Then they can mix up and cross-over if people want to do that.
-
alright ^^
-
Sounds good to me
I wanna fight a Kadaj >>
-
I dunno fighting sephiroth sounds good.
-
[/fail] I'd wanna fight Sephy too
-
yeah
-
I think I will make a small tent, I have a little blue fuzz ball thing that I'm not using anymore.
Atomos' is looking even more aborable now.
Xigy's breakfast of champions: Pepsi and ramen :3
-
Sounds good to me
I wanna fight a Kadaj >>
I could arrange that. XD
The Kadaj I know doesn't know about the mock battle I'm pretty sure, but I think he'd like it.
-
X3 I'm getting SO EXCITED!
I also have a friend cosplaying Reno, can she join?
XDD
-
xD fraya, beatrix, and garnet? xD you silly people and your main chars...
anyways i wanna battle zidane... thief vrs thief would never end XD
-
xDD I remember talking about that
Rikku: -snatch!-
Zidane: r3r....-snatch back-
-
Garnet: Now Zidane... play nice. >: (
-
Garnet2: Or else you wont ever see your precious dolly again >8D
-
rikku: *snatches back and proceads to steal the garnet's garmet grids* xD that would be funny... illigal.. but funny
-
Garnet2: I don't have garment grids... D8 [/jumps off a tower]
-
Queen!Garnet: Oh yeah? I have something none of you have! POLITICAL AUTHORITY! *Blacklists everyone, deports them, and then proceeds to throw them in FFIX's version of Guantanamo.* >: D
-
rikku: D= im not even in this game WTF just happened?
-
Cloaked!Garnet: You Rikku, just got owned. Hey future self! Make sure if Zidane decides to run off and not see you for a long time, smack him. THEN give him loves..
-
Queen!Garnet: ...forgot to tell you, FFIX Getmo is run by Garland and Seymour(yes, crossover! xD) You're. All. Screwed. >; D Oh, you're going too, my lovable past self for jumping off the tower. ^^
-
... why ont give him loves then smack him?
anyone else considering doing this in another topic as to make make other forumees upset?
-
Good point... someone make a random thread in the Spam area. xD
And because smacking afterwards could be S&M, dear
-
I'll go make the thread
-
sounds like a plan

yay random tread!

-
Awesome, so eager to see it!
And where was I? Playing Dissidia, but that's not important, lol.
Anyway, any more questions? Dig deep, everyone, let's get things laid out. :)
-
Cake? my brain isn't functioning right now.
-
multitasking. Dissidia and forums at the same time, all day. xD
-
Nice. That was my plan this morning. It's proficient. ;D
-
on the forums only during loading times. xD
-
You think like me. Do we share a brain...maybe?
NE-weigh....I'm excited to fight peeps.
-
Possibly. xD I really need to get my cosplay done... let's see... sewing or leveling Zidane beyond the lvl 66 he is now... hmm...
-
Sewing :3
-
God Dissidia is a drug O___O;
Only a few more days X3 Im so exited
-
I'm gunna get some good sleep then I'm gunna work real hard on my stuff, I reaaalllyyyy need to finish in the next few days before i have another panic attack [/facepalm]
-
I got my cosplay tag done last night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fmoGDNtKU0 For those of you that haven't seen it you can get a glimps of my Kuja :P
I am really looking forward to this too. I will have to watch a video of Kuja fighting in IX now because all that is coming to mine is Dissidia type fighting XD
-
Whee~ Moogle is finally finished. Been working on it off and on for a few days for Lulu during Kumori. <3 Lulu is almost finished. Just need to help Katy with figuring out the belts at this point, then I'll be all ready for the mock battle!
-
yay you go lulu! and im now only taking ffx-2 rikku with me so we cant do anything with my ffx one... which needs a new shirt anyways
-

I really can't wait to see it. I will take lots of pictures of you so they can go on the DA XD
-
Nice, Lulu! ^_^
-
I got a pokemon shoot at two on Saturday, but I REALLY wanna watch this so I'll book it to these parks if I have time! O:
-
DO ET DEMONY!
I dyed my hair and cut it for Kairi, but I'm sure if I keep my hood on I'll be good 8D.
Oh, Atomos is done, but it looks like one of those worm things from Dune, so I might not fight with him. I'll bring him, but more than likely he'll stay locked up.. and outta sight due to his hideous ness for looking like a worm-ball thing
Also, my cloak can't have sleeves, I asked my mom and she said no. I'm also half assing it, with the triangles, I'm not putting any under the bust since I don't have that much fabric, [/facepalm] it's the only thing I've got left to finish.
-
I have to re dye my hair for japan and mori XD
-
Zidane is all ready to go n.n just got to put some touch ups on the blades.
-
What're they made of, anyway, wood? Which ones did you make, his first daggers or the Mage Mashers or something?
-
Zidane is all ready to go n.n just got to put some touch ups on the blades.
Yay I can't wait :3
-
hmm i should touch up my rikku blades but theyer fine for now
-
I actually need to add a little paint to my buster sword...but I am not using that for this :P
As for Kuja I guess I am going to need to use the nails. Kuja has some pretty long nails in the game :P
-
I'm stitching on the triangles now, while dying my hair haha
-
I need to find something to do x.x
-
talk to us? Play the drug... You know, tough choices huh Nikki?
-
ooo nails! i wont be the only one who cant hold things at kumori!
-
Yeah I got ones that are prefect today but I really can't do much with my hands. I have to make sure that I carry the glue with me just in case one falls off x.x
-
i need to buy nail glue.. what kind works better o.o
-
Just checked and I noticed that my Reno-friend didn't get added DX
SOYEAH.
RENO-FRIEND.
-
XD I tis still going
-
List updated. :)
-
I have a friend, he was at the last early con meet, who expressed interest in being Kadaj to this when I spoke with him on the phone an hour ago. I dunno if he's decided to do it or not, but he thinks it would be fun.
-
Okay, weeeell, just keep us updated here, heh
-
Eve, I finished Atomos.. It's so scary lookin >> I'll show it to you so we can laugh at it. but I won't use it for the battle. Also, my mom said she dosen't like the fact that I'm stitching triangles onto her cloak. If I came in the red cloak [with out triangles] and I can find some red clothing and throw together a red mage. It would make my mom happier knowing that I'm not destroying her cloak =o= hurr.
-
D= noooo darn mom... seam ripping is easy and done right wont leave holes!
-
Mom dosen't want her $50 cloak ruined, so I'm gunna listen to her and be a red mage from FF3
-
oh... 50... bucks.. ok makes sence now
-
Yeah, so I'll be what? the ONLY one from 3? Lamers.
-
List updated. :)
YAY!
thank you XD
-
Yeah, so I'll be what? the ONLY one from 3? Lamers.
You are officially listed as Red Mage now. ^_^ Won't be lame, it'll be awesome, heh
-
Hey, 1 is more OLDSKOOL HOMG. XD 3 came out not long ago. LISTEN TO YER ELDERS.
/shakes cane at!
I'm glad to see a different Red Mage though :3
And whaddamean Moogles can't fight?! Haven't you played FF6? DDDD:
-
... I has no twinsy now? D: *huggles Konan* FFIII for the win! xD
-
red mage is also from 1 and 2
-
not sure where else to post this where people would actually care, lol, but here are a couple progress pics of my costume, which i finished today! ^.^ they're from the neck down just because i didn't do my hair and my face is yucky... lol. and there's a pic of the princess guard i made which has been done for a while and just sitting in my room

O.O IT LOOKS FANTASTIC :3
-
^.^ thanks!! it's soooo comfy, i kinda just want to wear it all the time... lol. can't wait for the con and the mock battle! now i just need to play some ff vii and study aeris' moves and such, then i should be good to go >.O
-
I'll be fine with Garnet when it comes to moves and such; I got her in a fandub, so I need to study how she acts and stuff anyway; why not study poses and attacks for this as well? xD
By the way, great costume, Kahlan! And nice tattoos~ *wants a tat*
-
I concur, it looks bloody brilliant, Kahlan! I just can't believe how perfect you got everything. ^_^ I also can't wait for the photo shoot and MB, even more now.
-
thanks guys ^.^ just can't wait to see everyone in their costumes! agggghhh the wait is gonna kill me... lol
-
God this is going to be so much fun. I am going to go to the gym soon to help prepare my body for all the skin that will be shown :3
-
So, just to get a little more organization going (may not even be necessary), but here is a general outline/idea of how things could go down for the MB:
- Game-specific Battles (just working up from 1).
- Crossover Battles
Sound good? Any suggestions?
-
That is what I was thinking it was going to be :P
-
Yeah, but you can never oversimplify some things when large groups are involved, heh. ;D
-
Ok I see your point XD. I feel like there is things I need to do but there really isn't
-
Yeah, feel like you need busy work, just because you're eager to get going. I feel the same way, heh.
-
nikki use your magical kuja powers and make it con time already! im so ready for a mock battle!
and eve: will we be having baddies vs goodies for the games? and what if theres one person from said game? do they fight themselves?
-
If there is only one person from the game, they can do what they want. We'd probably just skip the Game-Specific, and they could participate in one of the Crossover Battles.
And yes, for each game we will do heroes vs. villains. And if there are any other ideas people have, they can happen too. It would just be nice if people suggested things in here so we can talk them out first.
-
...hmm... i wanna see all yunas vrs everyone from ffx just to see what happens. and what if theres no baddies? =O?
-
If there are no villains, then we can do one of the other ideas instead.
For example: VII - we will have heroes and villains, so there will be an obvious good/bad battle. In addition to that, if people want, there can be a hero vs. hero battle, a villain vs. villain, and so on. It is all up in the air and can happen rather spontaneously. I just would like everyone to be on the same page, structure-wise.
So yeah, if there are no villains, then heroes can battle each other, if the cosplayers so desire. Nothing has to happen, just if people want to. If none of those heroes want to fight each other and there are no villains from the game, then we will just skip that game in the Game-Specific, and they can participate in the Crossover, if they want.
-
ok thank you for clearing it up eve ^^
-
No problem, Chelsea. ^_^ Glad to.
-
I do want to do all villains vs all heroes :P
-
Yeah, that would be enormously epic, and would fall in the Crossover Battles segment.
-
I know, I am just saying that we have to do that one XD
-
Oh, and here is the current list of participants, can everyone just take a look over it, and make sure you're on it. If you know anyone who wants to participate and isn't on it, just let me know.

Nice! How's the process going? What did you end up making it out of?
-
My dad needs to cut it out tonight... it is out of thin wood!
-
Sounds pretty good. Can't wait to see it!
-
I figured out how to make a ghetto-staff look good. xD Cardboard inside to make it stiff, craft foam on the front and back to make it metallic and stuff. ^^ I'm no good with wood yet.
And, by the way, chibi? Your Amarant friend is getting a hug from Garnet. And Kuja. And Zidane. And Vivi... hell, all the FFIX's get hugs from the Queen! I'm not alone!(if you get that, you get an ether)
-
Oh, I got it, lol. The lonely hero is not anymore!
-
I was thinking of the song "You're not Alone!" from FFIX, but yeah, that too. xD
-
No, that's what I had in mind, but I was mentioning how the song was a reflection of that notion, which happens to reappear in several games (VII, VIII, IX), heh. Guess I should have just said the song name. :)
-
Ah, good point. Hmmm... I love FFIX so much <3 xD The only FF with a bloisterous, perverted, happy-go-lucky main male.... I think.
-
the drawing looks great I too can not wait to see the final product!

WHEEE!

On your list you have this: Seifer (artamisalbrya) he is doing Zell not Seifer.
-
Thanks; fixed.

I'll have my camera but it isn't the best quality. Here is an example of the quality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fmoGDNtKU0
-
That's about the quality of mine, maybe a little better. It would be nice to have some super high-quality footage, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll be happy just for a video of it in any way. I just would like to have something to remember and enjoy years down the road.
-
[/coughcough] So uh, I had lost interest not to mention became unvelievably irate with Cloaked!Garnet BUT my mom gave me some courage and finished it. Though it dosen't have sleeves I just finished it a few hours ago so Cloaked!Garnet's back on for the MB. >> yeah wishy-washy this close to con made me go nuts.
-
What are you wearing under it? Do you have the jumpsuit?
-
Eh hehehe no, I don't but I'll find something >> probably princess-y I'll look around for my crown too. I didn't have enough time to make the jumpsuit, or find anything like it. Though as soon as con's over, I'll start working on my Black Waltz no.2 and work on improving inverted cloaked!Garnet for next year. Meh, I'll dig around for something, as it stands I'd most likely be wearing School!Kairi under it.

ookay, well I updated the list with your changes, Konan. ^_^ Cloak Garnet and not Red Mage, yes?
-
Ok sad day, but I figured the person it matters most to, posts here the most often. But I am going to be leaving Cloud behind for this con. I have lots a lot of interest in cosplaying him and I much rather do Kuja for the mock battle and since that takes up so much time I will end up wearing Kuja all day Monday. I'll wear Cloud for some con, maybe next year.
-
Oh well, no big deal. ^_^ Doesn't effect the Mock-Battle, and I think I can survive, heh. I'll definitely have the Barret costume for future years, so I will just get some pics with you then. :)
-
We need more villians... otherwise, this is going to be a very short fight. ^^''
-
No, kidding. I didn't notice how gradually the list became pretty heavily imbalanced. It can work in some cases though. Boss fights usually are 1v3/4 anyway, so at least that can work realistically.
And I'm gonna start posting the list on every page, just to keep it seen.

Oh yeah, I didn't think about it that way! Should be interesting. ^^ Though, I don't exactly have a double-barreled shotgun or a Dark Nation lying around, so I'm not sure what I'd be doing to fight...
-
You still have time to make one, or go to a toy store and buy something similar and just paint it or mod it out a bit.
Or, you can just fight with any turks that show up and sick the turks on everyone, lol
-
I don't really have time to make one, considering I work pretty much full time this week and won't have much time before the con starts. Although, Rufus doesn't do much in battle anyway... I think grabbing the nearest couple Turks would work. That and I have an airsoft pistol I can use... take some creative license, since I'm going to be AC Rufus anyway.
-
please! Kuja can take on all of them and win >:3
-
If we all band together, the power of good can defeat you!

And if you do go the route of airsoft guns, just be really careful since the policies are touchy at best with airsoft. Currently, the policy states:
Certain props are not allowed within the Convention Space. These include, but are not limited to:
* Airsoft or projectile weapons
* Live (sharp enough to cut) steel
* Props wide enough or long enough to inhibit flow of traffic
* Replica weapons that do not comply with state or federal law
* Paddles (all varieties—including “yaoi” or “yuri” paddles)
* Props which impede personal or public safety
So, keep that in mind. But then again, since the MB is not in the conspace, you may be able to do what you want with it. *shrug* Your call.
-
oooOOOooo! Ill be back as Vincent Valentine, since I didnt have time to make anything new! My Girlfriend will also be Lucrecia, although how useful she will be in a fight, im not terribly sure.... *shifty eyes*
-
Okay, cool. List updated. It'll be good to fight beside you Vincent! And Lucrecia...she can cheer you on, lol. (Or have a slap fight with Garnet, or whatever, lol). I didn't add her in the list, but if you think she will actually want to participate, I will go ahead and do that.

I can scratch peoples eyes out with my freakishly long nails XD
-
You could do that, lol. I can totally see Kuja having a slap-fight/cat-fight with someone, any of the series' heroines, actually, haha
-
Garnet would be a good one... if he already wasn't set to kidnap her all the time. xD
-
You could do that, lol. I can totally see Kuja having a slap-fight/cat-fight with someone, any of the series' heroines, actually, haha
Maybe for the chess game O.O That would be a good one. XD
-
I can scratch peoples eyes out with my freakishly long nails XD
Long nail battle, lol. Hmm, who would win, Nikki or Me?
-
Oooh, I think you get the trophy on that one, Nanaki. ^_^
-
DX I have the host club thing I have to go to
-
Sad day is sad. Uh, since I fail epic bad at sewing, and the fact that I didn't have enough white material, the triangles aroung the waist aren't there, BUT I did get the four on the hood AND the mantle [though I had to gut my Team Magma hoodie for it] Meh, it looks alright.. Kinda...
-
I don't know if I can make it to the mock battle
-
sad day is sad ange. YOU CAN MAKE ET!
-
No I have to host for the host club during that time I can only make it to the photoshoot saddly DX
-
I, too, may not be able to make it.
-
Ah, lamesauce, but no worries, you two. We'll definitely have the videos up for you to check out eventually. Shall I go ahead and take your names off the list then?
-
yes I am truly sorry I really wanted to go maybe I will have a battle with vincent and it will be recored
-
I, myself, am just not sure yet.
-
so walmart didnt have gumballs... i got gummy dots instead
-
Ah, still very Rikku-ish, heh.

xD eve i just realized you said "lamesause" and dots are much easyer to chew and smallow then gum balls >.>
-
*sighs* Sorry for dissappearing for a while... family stuff from hell... Anyways, I'm still going to be there... though I'm panicking about my vivi... his hat fell apart, so I'm needing to remake it...
-
Well I hope you get it done in time. I want to see it :3
-
Yeah, good luck getting it done.
And that's good that dots are easier, Chelsea. Glad you found a suitable candy.
-
How did your Vivi hat fall apart? What material is it made out of? You can PM me if you'd like - I might be able to give you some ideas to fix it.
-
I really hope I get my wheelchair in time... T T I lent it to a friend for her Rufus cosplay last year, and it somehow ended up at her aunt's house... ><'' I'm a poor helpless cripple!! How can I get around without my wheelchair?
-
Hmm, that is a bit of a dilemma. Hopefully you can get that back soon.
But if you are just referring to your character and not yourself, I'd say you'd be fine being non-wheelchair'd Rufus. He's not actually dependent on the wheelchair, only doing it as a minor convenience in the healing process. We see him up and walking in both game and film, so....you could really do without it.
But if you are actually referring to yourself, then yes, I hope you can get it back soon. :)
-
wahahaha if it runs too late I'll have to cut my part short. I wanna go to Kirks panel, I think its on saturday, correct me if I'm wrong, BUT. I found the Perfect Atomos bwahaha I'll use my little sis to attack as Atomos for me, that way he plushie atomos dosen't get tossed around and torn since he's a delicate litto flower xD. I'm still binging the plushie mind you. We can laugh at how bad it looks Rodney. Cause I was laughing pretty hard at it yesterday afternoon >>
-
lol, I doubt any of us could survive an attack from Konan-Sibling! That's the ultimate summon right there, lol.
And yes, I am eager to see this monstrosity you've given horrible, horrible life to. ^_^
-
Haha, she'll be the ULTIMATE attack. I'll have her dress as Namine? but if I wear Rouge Samurai!Kairi under the cloak, then that'd be bad mojo jojo for her. Meh, I'll figure something out.
It's so adorably ugly and horrific. It's the first plushie I've ever sewn, so lets mock the monster I've created. [just goes to show you just how bad my sewing sklls are without a damn machine. :/]
-
haha, well, I will still love it, I bet (the Atomos). Abominations are my pets of choice, so you're talking to the right person, lol
-
Haha good, it was made from a sleeve and silk [/died] you can totally see the stitching on it too. I kinda gave up on it near the end so it looks like a freakish thing. I love it regardless. I'd give it to you had it not my Miroku and a bandana in it haha.
-
haha, fair enough. I'm excited to see it. Heck, I'm just excited for this whole weekend!
-
I know how ya feel I can't sleep for the life of me..
OH PSP! I'm gettin one tomorrow afternoon so I'm real excited that I finally get to play Dissidia [/happydance]
-
Oh, its fine... my hat just got ripped apart by my cat (somehow it got left out of my room) and its just regular fabric over a wire frame... not TOO hard to repair... I'll get it done by tomorrow! (smiles)
So, I feel like a noob for asking this but... any special guidelines/rules as to how this is going? I didn't see anything in the first few posts so... maybe we should put that along with the list?
-
and what if its pouring down rain?
-
its just going to be turned base.
Also I am not too sure if I will be able to call out my attacks or not, well see how my voice is tomorrow. I was sick for a few days and now I am getting better but as a result I am losing my voice. I hope it was going to be better today but it is worse, and I will be talking a lot today so I bet tomorrow it will be even worse x.x
-
Ok, thats good! Was a little worried there for a minute >->
-
Oh, don't worry yourself, Nikki. If your voice isn't up to it, you'll be fine to act without calling them out, I'm sure.
And yes, it will be simple turn-based style. Good suggestion, I'll post some basic rules in the first post.
-
My moogle's attack is to hit people with the big 'SAVE BOOK' from FFIX. xD
-
haha, Atomos will be for show? and my sister will be my real attack
-
haha, Save Moogle will destroy you!! lol
-
Rawr! Fear my Flare!
"But theres nothing there!"
... Thats because its so powerful your mind cannot process it!
-
I could NOT find ANY photoshoots that were actually set up, so sorry about not showing up. :/ The whole layout of everything is just... yeah.
-
I dunno who thought to take control of this and start giving people false information, but I don't appreciate it. If it is cancelled, it's cancelled. IF you're gonna do it, then please be so kind as to let me know it's still on. I (and a horde of others, apparently) missed out on this because nobody could keep their facts straight.
-
Yeah it was raining at 1 and then I ended up changing out of Kuja and was hanging out with Zack and went to the anime hunters panel. While I was there I got a text saying that it was on but it was too late for me. I blame the whole thing on the weather >_>
-
I wish there had been some way to be able to contact each other. Yeah, the weather was crazy... there should have been had a second plan in case it rained.
-
there isn't really anything we could have done. If it rained we had no idea how long it would last.
-
maybe we shall plan it as a meet-up
-
I second that.
-
Indeed. I still would really like to do a MB, so maybe at some point later on. It still sounds super fun, heh
-
Then we can devote it to a photoshoot and mock battle and have epicness on a grand scale, no? ^^
-
I just hope that I have no need to use a pizza box as my weapon of choice.
-
xD Oh man, that was so epic.
-
Well we kind of need to be able to do that sort of thing in SOLDIER.
-
Meh... I still made your King and Queen defect... twice!
-
That's just because you were using a legalized version of cocaine to lure them.
-
Yup! ^^
-
I was tormenting the Anime Hunters with them after closing. They're addicts.
-
So it was them who nabbed them! The links hardly got any out of that bag! xD
-
WTH are you all talking about? ???
As far as MB goes, yes, let's aim for a retry in the next couple months, perhaps. Because I didn't get anything out of this weekend.
-
We did have a mini-battle : / didn't last very long but I second the motion to try agian in a few months XO!
-
I do too. I THIRD IT.
Roxas wig Roxas wig
-
FF brethren, it has been moved and seconded...and thirded that we hold another mock battle in October/November. Is there any discussion? Time, head count, scripted or freestyle?
-
It would just be "freestyle", I guess. If that means it will be a replication of the FF battle system...actually, you know what, I posted the rules and gist of everything in the first post. It will be like that, haha. I'm lazy right now.
-
I'm lazy too Rodney, I'm supposed to be registering for school, or at least heading that way right now >>
-
So, since we're essentially starting over with this plan, I'm asking that everyone repost with their name and character they plan to cosplay for this. It's an easy way of doing things, because I don't know who plans to do this, since it is not Kumoricon.

If you need any help with your Black Mage, I can certainly lend a hand. And that goes for everyone. ^^
-
well, as it is, I haven't started on it yet, the only real problem I see with it currently is the wings [/shot]
-
Hmm... I'll have a look at pics of them; I can probably help you seeing as I made Yuna's wings from scratch. ^^
-
>> the wings are fricken HUGE, I'd have to scale them bown by like a LOT
-
Of course... let's see... I'd say get some possibly tealish or light blueish/turquoise feathers, some purple ones, and just a couple gold ones for each wing. This is a very good site for ordering, it's where I got my Yuna feathers from; http://www.rainbowfeatherco.com/index.html
Make sure to specify you want them seperated right and left feathers, the wings look better that way. You can only do that at the one pound mark, so if you get half a pound, be prepared to sort them yourself. Yuna's wings were about a half a pound of turkey flats, probably less, but I ordered the full pound to make sure I had enough for them and the feathers on the bottom of the dress. Here's a great site for a tutorial; http://www.paper-wings.org/tutorials/index.html
Where do you live? I could prehaps come and help you out, if you need it.
-
Well, as it is, I'm out $70 that was stolen from the room, so ordering things is a no-go right now.
I live in Forest Grove, about a 1 1/2 hours away from Portland.
-
Well, if I had a place to stay, I could definately come and help between now and next con definately, especially after I turn 18 and my mom can say nothing about it. xD I'm job hunting right now for a jobto pay for next year.
-
First post updated with the redone list.
-
Rodney: cool cool
Scarlet: you could stay here, if you don't mind my mom and ken smoking in the house, I'm job hunting too.
-
Sure; that's fine with me. xD My mom's a smoker, so I'm used to it.
-
yay started Trance Kuja. The tail is done and I have started to sew on the feathers to the tights. I may post pictures latter tonight.
-
I would love to see it
-
Ah okay, but yeah, I keep the back window open to keep it from gettin stuffy since the apartment's so damn small half the apartment's mine haha
-
xDD
I wanna see yours and Heather's trances so badly! They're actually sort similar, if you think about it; maybe it's a Genome thing? xD We'll need pics of the three of us in Trance at con next year!
-
I wanna see all three or your trances :3
yeah.. I got my roxas wig but it's all knotted up and I gotta brush it out =a=
-
OH gods, don'teven make me THINK about brushing out Garnet's wigs >.>
Hey, should my Amano Garnet be brown-haired or blonde? I may have a regular Garnet for pre-reg day and of course PJ Garnet for the laaaaaate nighttime, but what do you guys think? Trance Garnet is definately blonde, but Amano Garnet is originally blonde and had no hairband; no other form of her is without one, and I don't really want to get two(maybe three if I replace my current wig) new wigs. Maybe Amano Garnet with the hairband and still blonde? I dunno... I'll check to see what others have done in the past.
-
Haha, I chopped off most or the rats nests, it's still pretty tangled though. I wanna do a half assed Roxas style and be Roxas tomorrow for the first day of school xD
-
DO IT.
-
I should [thinks about what japanese teach would say about it >> I should totally get my friends to take pics >> I'l lovin this idea right now. though I can't remember if tomorrow's day 1 or day 2, probably day 2 so I'd have japanese.
I WILL.
-
The best I can come up with is either a red ninja from FF1, or a player Turk from FF7: Before Crisis.
Forum Name: TurboSaiyanJason
Age: 22
Cosplay: Red ninja or Turk.
I read the first post, and I'm still not clear on how this works. I guess I'm just used to letting randomness decide (rock-paper-scissors) rather than choose myself whether I'm hit or an attack missed. I'm a better player than an actor.
-
Hey Turbo, you should go as a ninja. XD I'm definitely going as Red Mage. Sooo...

O: Kahlan can be our Zombie Aerith! xD *from my idea for when Aerith dies by Sephy, to have to come back as a zombie and kill him* j/k
-
Well, Kikyo did the same thing...kinda. She was raised from the dead.
-
@ Turbo: If you have played Final Fantasy at all, you would know what I'm talking about. It isn't acting, per se, it is just playing as your character in a random battle scenario. You know how battles work in FF games, right? Well, that's all this is. Don't over-think it.
-
Okay, I updated the first post with the list.
And as far as hit/misses go, this isn't really competing to win in that sense. It is just playing along, We weren't planning on keeping tabs on HP or any stats in that sense. It really is just people going through the motions for the sake of having fun as their character.
Also, are there any times people would prefer to shoot for to do this meet-up?
-
I'll try to make it as Kefka if it's at all possible for me. I don't know yet so don't get your hopes up!
Name: Ariel/FFVII~Lover
Character: Kefka Pollazo (MAYBE)
-
I Kefka would be EPIC O_O!
As for time and Day: I don't care as long as I get ALOT of notice time, so I can get it off.
-
same. Sunday's would work best for me since I don't work those days >_>
-
Possibly same here too; I may or may not be working on our school plays, depending on if I get in the thing...
Which reminds me; I so want to get cosplayers to come to our play. xD
-
I'd have to know in advance; I work retail so my schedule's pretty packed most of the time.
-
D: noooo darn my must i be moving.... and eve! i was looking forward to meeting you D:
-
Yup, sorry. The plans failed hardcore.
-
oh well perhaps another con...
-
Yeah, I'll be around next year if you come to Kumoricon again. I won't be attending, but I will be at the FF Shoot.
-
so what are we doing?
-
Choosing a time for the MB meet-up.
-
alright I will let you guys decide because anyday is good for me ^__^
-
do we want the mock battle to happen outside of the con? And if we want it to happen soonish I rather do it before it starts to get cold, seeing how I will be wearing little clothes. But if we wait till spring I am alright with that as well. I will have trance Kuja done by then :D
-
Yeah, as time passes I am in less and less of a hurry to get this done. I am fine with doing it next Spring or some time farther off. Definitely no rush, if people would rather wait.
I'm kind of moving on to other things at the moment, so cosplay isn't as much a priority for me anymore. We can postpone it and aim for sometime next year. That's fine with me. :)
-
I would rather do it in the spring then I could use trance kuja :3
-
Sounds good to me! Event officially postponed until Spring 2010!
-
YAY! After Sakuracon of course :D (right?)
-
Yes, of course. I figured there'd be a pretty weighty absence of cosplayers due to that event, heh
-
xDD I'll probably have regular Garnet and Trance Garent done... maybe Amano. Dress is a given, because it's nearly done anyway. I also figured out how to trance in the middle of the battle! ^^;;
wear Trance Garnet under Regular or Amano, then run over to someone going 'UNZIP MEEEEEEEEEEE~' And pop out as Trance Garnet! xD
-
lol, that sounds pretty spastic and fun, heh
-
it would be cool to go into trance mid battle but I think I will stick with trance for the whole battle.
-
Yeah, I can imagine how hard and weird it would be for you to try to alternate mid-battle. They are too drastically different, I would assume.
-
The only issue I'd have going Trance mid-battle would be the wig; in Trance Garnet's blonde. >.< Well, if I decide to do it, I'll just have to be brown-haired Garnet. xDD
EDIT
Unless I decide to do it under Amano Garnet, because Amano's is blonde too~
-
With that theme, I'd love to be Trance Steiner, but there is a general glow about the characters in trance that I don't think you can properly replicate with just materials. You'd need to have like, iridescent lights plugged into your costume, lol.
-
That's what editings for. 8D
-
Indeed. :)
-
Okay, I updated the first post with the list.

Also, are there any times people would prefer to shoot for to do this meet-up?
Exactly what I thought this would be. Though in my small opinion, there is no way for the battle to end. Example: Cloud and Sephiroth each take their turn attacking and the other one declares the attack a miss every time, godmodding in a rough sense. 10 turns later, Cloud lands a heavy blow on Sephiroth, but he runs away flawlessly.
So this is going to be more of a photoshoot than a game. The attacks and reactions to the attacks are just opportunities for good shots of cool poses. I understand now.
-
If anyone is up for it, it might be fun to meet up before hand and talk a little more about what we will do and what not.
-
Doesn't sound like a bad idea.
-
I'd be up for that. :3
-
I am up for it too
-
I hope I can wear trance all battle, now the fabric needs to hurry up and arrive r.r.
Are we going to be having it in the same park?
-
I hope I'll have Amano done by then, then I'll get someone to help me strip halfway through the battle and be Trance Garnet.
I think it'll be in the same park; makes sense 'cause everyone knows where it is, I think.
-
:(
I probably won't be able to go this time, making a trip to portland (two-hour drive) just for a mock battle is NOT gonna fly with the parents.
-
Hmm... maybe my mom would let me take in one of two people for a sleepover that night so it won't be just a 'drive up, drive down' thing. Also depends on when it is; if it's on my birthday, she can't say no, but my birthday's in January. I never have people over anyway, so one of two during a weekend or spring break should be fine with her. xD
