Dissidia: Final Fantasy: Squall Leonhart

dissidia: final fantasy cosplay - squall leonhart by jesukeA lone wolf in his own accord, Squall Leonhart prefers to keep to himself, earning him a reputation of being cold, even to his comrades. His own teacher, Quistis Trepe, finds him difficult to deal with, but acknowledges his natural talent. Several people wish to draw him out of isolation, with Rinoa going as far as persuing a romantic relationship with him.

This is one of Jesuke's latest cosplays, and I have to say, I'm so glad she finally cosplayed Squall! I've always wanted to feature a Squall cosplayer, but couldn't find one that I liked. Great work, Jesuke! Keep it up!

Final Fantasy VIII: Rinoa Heartilly 04

final fantasy viii cosplay - rinoa heartilly 04 by sayaRinoa Heartilly is perhaps one of the most controversial characters created. No, I don't mean her personality, design, or anything of the like. I'm talking about her fans.

You can either love Rinoa or hate her. Some Final Fantasy fans think she's cute, while others think she's annoying. Honestly speaking though, without a voice actress portraying how she actually says her lines, it's quite difficult to determine.

Then again, even with a voice actress, I think people will still either love her or hate her.

What I do love is Saya's cosplay of her. She looks very much like Rinoa... like she came straight out of the game! Wonderful work as usual, Saya! I think I'm now a fan of hers too!

Final Fantasy X: Yuna 05

final fantasy x cosplay - yuna the summoner 0517-year-old human summoner Yuna is the daughter of Spira's infamous High Summoner Braska, the man responsible for bringing a brief end to the destruction of Sin; The Calm. She has decided to follow in her father's footsteps to become a summoner herself. Yuna is expected to travel to temples across Spira to acquire all of the magical entities known as "aeons" and eventually summon the Final Aeon in a battle that will claim both its life and her own.

We can't see the cosplayer's face in this photo, which is a shame, really. It's still a great photo! Nice work!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Yuffie Kisaragi 02

final fantasy vii advent children cosplay - yuffie kisaragi 02Prone to motion sickness and hopelessly obsessed with the collection of mana, Yuffie Kisaragi is the daughter of the leader of Wutai who wishes to return her country to its former glory, and not a mere tourist spot. In Advent Children, she helps Cloud and Tifa in the fight against Bahamut SIN. There is also a prequel novella "Case of Yuffie" which details about how Geostigma pread to Wutai and what Yuffie did to find a cure to help her people.

Cute cosplayer and really awesome weapon detail! Wonder how she got it to look so real? Thanks to Kon for sharing this!


Final Fantasy X: Rikku 02

This is probably my last post for the year 2009, so lets make it... cute!

Rikku, the bilingual, 15-year-old Al Bhed, is a talented theif who is somewhat childish, but also very cheerful and optimistic. She loves her cousin Yuna dearly and wishes to stop her from going through with her pilgrimage. She also informs Tidus of Yuna's fate when she summons her Final Aeon.

So cute this Yuna! And intersting shoes I might add. I really like her outfit in X more than X-2. Awesome work!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Cloud Strife 04

final fantasy vii advent children cosplay - cloud strife 04In the recent Anime Festival Asia 2009 where Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao represented Team Philippines, a famous cosplayer was among the judges and gave the sisters full marks, even though they didn’t win.

That cosplayer is known as Kaname. I recently found out that he is also the same cosplayer behind the other Cloud Strife I featured more than a year ago.

You have to admit, Kaname makes a very convincing Cloud. If anyone happens to know where his website is, I’d love to link his images back to him. Thank you!


Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Tifa Lockhart 02

final fantasy vii advent children cosplay - tifa lockhart 02Though she plays a more minor role in Advent Children than in Final Fantasy VII, Tifa did battle against Loz and later, against Bahamut SIN. She has shorter hair than her original character design mainly because animating long hair was proven to be quite difficult.

She looks like an older, more mature version of Rinoa to be honest. But I think a few people will get mad at me for saying that. Beautiful cosplay though! And the characters for the cosplayer’s name means “little fish”, Xiao Yu. Great cosplaying!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Tifa Lockhart 03

final fantasy vii advent children cosplay - tifa lockheart 03Script writer Nojima Kazuhige describes Tifa to be "very much like any woman who's been left behind like a man", meaning someone who was hurt emotionally, but not clingy. She urges Cloud to come to terms with the unwarranted guilt he places upon himself, and takes care of Barret's adopted daughter, Marlene, as well as another child known as Denzel.

I think she may be the same Tifa as the cosplayer I featured more than 2 years ago, but I still find her pretty impressive. She still makes me think that she jumped right out of the film. Great cosplay!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII: Noctis Lucis Caelum

final fantasy versus xiii cosplay - noctis lucis caelum

The "Sky of the Night Light", Noctis is the last Heir of the Caelum Dynasty and protects his city-state from those who seek the Crystals. The Crystals allow him to control his weapon by telekinesis, as they range from swords, to spears, to lances. He is said to be the first to break the mold of typical Final Fantasy protagonists' personalities, as he is idiosyncratic.

Beautiful cosplay! I've actually yet to play this game, or any of the Final Fantasy games for that matter, but I've always appreciated their art work. And it looks like the cosplayer put a lot of effort in the details of his sword too. Great job!

Final Fantasy X: Yuna 06

final fantasy x cosplay - yuna 05

Nomura Tetsuya designed Yuna with hibiscus flowers as her name depicts. Her name also means “night” so her weapons are empowered by the moon. Yuna also has heterochromia, which explains her different colored eyes; her blue eye comes from her half-Spiran bloodline and her green eye comes from her half-Al Bhed bloodline.

Beautiful cosplay! Good location too. I wonder if she had a hard time keeping her hair fixed? Thanks for sharing this!

Final Fantasy XIII: Éclair Farron aka Lightning

final fantasy xiii cosplay - eclair farron aka lightning

After the death of her parents, Éclair Farron discarded her birth name and chose to be known from then on as “Lightning” in order to escape her insecurities and vulnerabilities. She wanted to become a stronger person so that she could care for her younger sister, Serah. As a result, she is very serious, unforgiving, and relentless.

Cute cosplayer from Winter Comiket! I really love her pink hair and the attitude. Thanks to Misha for sending this!

Cosplayer Monique Dimanlig: A Unique Geisha, Cosplay and Anime Geek

Cosplayer Monique Dimanlig already cosplayed unique characters like Geiko/Maiko, Fujitsubo-hime and Yukari no Onna. But the one that really caught my eyes was when she cosplayed Sorceress Edea. It's like wow! A big WOW! I've never seen so detailed cosplay of a Final Fantasy villain. Some cosplay are just plain school girl or not that detailed and uncharacteristic. Cosplaying a Sorceress from once rewarded "Game of the Year" is so cool. FYI, Cosplayer Monique Dimanlig was already featured here. This is her second time around here at Cosplayer Studio.



1. What are your current cosplay gigs and what are you gonna cosplay?



I don’t really have any “gigs” to speak of… I just attend what I can. I will most likely continue my geiko cosplay, with new kimono.


2. What are your previous cosplayed characters?



I’ve cosplayed Geiko/Maiko, Fujitsubo-hime, Yukari no Onna, and Sorceress Edea.


3. Full name, Birth date, Location?

4. Have you joined any cosplay contest? event? What are those?



I’ve joined several over the span of two years… I try to mount the walk when I can—but not often, because of the rules restricting non-canon characters.


5. Are you having cosplay partners or friends that are always with you whenever you cosplay?



I don’t have regular partners. I run into all sorts of people in the convention, some more than others, so I hang out with them and we all enjoy ourselves.

6. Were you featured before on TV, Magazine, etc? or endorsed product and service?



Yes, I was in Full Time Moms’ cosplay segment, PO5, the TV5 grand relaunch. And I was also featured in Otacool 2, CosplayGen Magazine’s second issue and Code Red Magazine. I also appeared (just a photo) in Game! Magazine.


I'm now a certified fan of Monique Dimanlig and I regularly check her pages, continue supporting her updates! :D

Final Fantasy X-2: Rikku 08

final fantasy x-2 cosplay - rikku 08

The prominently featured Theif and one of the main protagonists of Final Fantasy X-2, 17-year-old Rikku showed Yuna a mysterious sphere featuring a familiar person. This convinced Yuna to leave Besaid on a journey, with Rikku following close behind her.

People might say her hair is all wrong since she's not blond, but she still makes a pretty Rikku! Thanks to Benjamin for sending this in!
