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

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #2 on:** February 20, 2009, 04:16:21 pm »

Yes, yes, I figured you would be, haha

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #3 on:** February 20, 2009, 04:46:23 pm »

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!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #4 on:** February 20, 2009, 04:51:42 pm »

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.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #5 on:** February 20, 2009, 04:57:51 pm »

Well awesome. I know you'll do a fantastic job (you already look a lot like Yuffie) ^_^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #6 on:** February 20, 2009, 09:22:27 pm »

Alright I am so looking forward to this. Hell I just want any con at this point x.x

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #7 on:** February 21, 2009, 12:01:41 am »

I will go as the Turk Cissnei / Shuriken!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #8 on:** February 21, 2009, 12:28:33 am »

Awesome! Can't wait to see how that costume turns out!

Syd-chan · « **Reply #9 on:** February 21, 2009, 01:28:43 am »

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.

Kahlan4 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 21, 2009, 03:07:43 am »

can't wait for this mock battle, it will be epic ^.^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #11 on:** February 21, 2009, 08:38:03 am »

Indeed! I just hope I don't explode out of excitement before then. I mean...I have so much to look forward to!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #12 on:** February 21, 2009, 08:57:59 am »

I know right? I am so looking forward to this....I guess this is one problem with planing things so far in advance =/

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #13 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:00:49 am »

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.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #14 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:02:15 am »

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

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #15 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:10:02 am »

lol...not a bad idea. Time-wise I'm pretty cramped, but it would still be fun to have a "practice" mock-battle, haha.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #16 on:** February 21, 2009, 11:55:09 am »

plus we can work out some of the small issues we may run into

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #17 on:** February 21, 2009, 12:21:56 pm »

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.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #18 on:** February 21, 2009, 12:59:12 pm »

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.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #19 on:** February 21, 2009, 01:13:07 pm »

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. ^_^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #20 on:** February 21, 2009, 01:16:21 pm »

Here's the video, I'll save you the trouble.

Also, I'd just like to throw another video out there for reference of an amazing Mock-Battle/LARP (and brilliant Final Fantasy parody).

nikkiolie · « **Reply #21 on:** February 21, 2009, 02:04:05 pm »

Yeah I am going to have a hard time moving the buster sword around >_>

I will be strong enough though XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #22 on:** February 21, 2009, 02:31:09 pm »

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

Syd-chan · « **Reply #23 on:** February 21, 2009, 04:34:38 pm »

xD Aw, I just remembered I need to redo my EMR. I'm not positive v.1 is okay to bring in public.

...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.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #25 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:16:00 pm »

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

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #26 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:25:24 pm »

Yeah, sure. I've got ideas and plans out the whazoo, so I will get those posted eventually.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #27 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:30:00 pm »

alright. Like I said, I would love to hear them

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #28 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:36:43 pm »

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.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #29 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:40:27 pm »

yeah that is what I kinda had in mind. I would love to do that XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #30 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:43:50 pm »

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.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #31 on:** February 21, 2009, 10:11:43 pm »

See what I mean? Because I too don't want to be kept from the con for too long

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #32 on:** February 21, 2009, 10:18:30 pm »

Well, it would be part of the con. This event would be part of the FF Photoshoot, just for future reference.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #33 on:** February 21, 2009, 10:27:08 pm »

yeah I guess you can look at it that way

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #34 on:** February 21, 2009, 10:28:36 pm »

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.

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #35 on:** February 21, 2009, 11:33:13 pm »

What do you recommend to make the Rekka?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #36 on:** February 22, 2009, 08:42:12 am »

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!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #37 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:11:04 am »

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.

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #38 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:28:44 pm »

Ok! Thank you!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #39 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:32:00 pm »

did you fine the link I was talking about? It was a tutorial for making Sasuke's weapon.

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #40 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:33:56 pm »

Not yet still looking

nikkiolie · « **Reply #41 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:35:17 pm »

Alright I will check through them as well.

here you go http://amethyst-angel.com/armormaking_shuriken.html

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #42 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:42:45 pm »

*bows* Thank you! THank you!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #43 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:43:55 pm »

you can use that as a starting point. I hope that helps somewhat.

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #44 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:45:41 pm »

Oh it will

nikkiolie · « **Reply #45 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:48:27 pm »

glad I can help. You are planing on going as Yuffie right? Or was it someone else?

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #46 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:18:44 pm »

Cisseni is a Turk that befriends Zach

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #47 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:19:34 pm »

Good luck! I can vouch for Amethyst Angel. Her tutorials are amazingly helpful and relatively simple.

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #48 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:21:31 pm »

Okey thank you

Syd-chan · « **Reply #49 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:27:41 pm »

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.
