All of you fans out there...i need every detail of Zell's clothes, moves, appearence and personality...i have some basis:

Clothes:
-Main clothes:

+ blue shorts with one pocket on each side
+ black and red shoes with silver socks
+ black belt with metal...stuff that makes it tighten...(have no idea what it's called)
+ gloves (I wanna wear ehrgeiz) black and red gloves with balamb symbol on the back of the hand and white....wings? near the pulse..i really need help on this i dunno exactly how they are.
-Balamb Clothes (I wanna wear these, but i know almost nothing about them!)
+ dark blue pants (can you tellme that color name? or are they black/grey?)
+ same color jacket, zipped to the top (i think) and with only those designs on the shoulders.

Appearence:

The Cadet uniform is going to be much tougher imo, so I'd try and keep it simple. Because you need time to:

If you can't backflip then it's not authentic :D

Character trait? Stuffing his face with hotdogs. Some people say that it's actually "bread" in the original Japanese dialogue, but in the video at the end of the game he's clearly chowing down some 'dogs.

[blackmage_nuke]

Dont forget that ridiculus chicken walk

[Big D]

Dont forget that ridiculus chicken walkThe "guess where I keep my spare carrot" walk?

Not Balamb symbol, but three blueish/white 'drops' intertwined in a black circle on a black + symbol. Metal caps on the knuckles. And those wings are probably just metal.

[Lobito]

oh yeah i think i can do that backflip xD...better not have anyone around though O.o

yep cadet suit is not simple i know, but that's my objective....do you have any pics, they can be ingame pics, with him on that outfit? I have the original game but ripped it to play in an emulator so the image is quite crappier than usual xD playing in psx is almost scary after all this time xD

my mother makes clothes...like jackets jeans shirts n stuff..so i guess that will make the job easier..i dunno the job's name in english.

and yeah i got that walk trained xD

[Lacarus]

Tailor?

Play the PSX.

Best of luck with the cosplay. Post pictures and let us see how you got on, if you have the chance. :monster:

[The Last Oath]

When you want to impress someone start punching LOL

Before you shake someones hand, rub your hands clean on your shirt, look at it, then offer your hand LOL LOL

Thats all i can think of atm

[*Omega Peach*]

Zell is the bestest :peach:

[Shiny]

His gloves are made of leather. His jacket and pants look like they could be made of wool and polyester. His hair is slicked back into a point in the back. In the front it's pretty obvious to see it's spiked up. You'll need some gel.

[McLovin']

You'll need some gel.

Gee I bet after making the entire costume he will neglect the fact he needs to gel his hair to look likes Zell! :roll2

[Rantz]

You'll need some gil.

[NeoTifa]

Zell is the lamest character in the whole damn series.

[Shiny]

You'll need some gel.

Gee I bet after making the entire costume he will neglect the fact he needs to gel his hair to look likes Zell! :roll2
Probably. Some people would be dumb and use mousse or hair spray. Gel will make his hair hard and phale, but it will give the desired look. Also, your dogs are gay.

[Aerith's Knight]

Zell is the lamest character in the whole damn series.

Wakka. (Close, though)

[Rocket Edge]

What? Zell was awesome, BABYYY!!!

[NeoTifa]

No.

[Marshall Banana]

NeoTifa is right!

[NeoTifa]

Of course, I always am. Wakka was 10x cooler than Zell, and I hated Wakka!!!!

[Magixion]

Oh man, Zell gave FFVIII life! Wakka.. was simply annoying. Zell is perhaps one of the most down to earth and realistic characters in the series.

[Rocket Edge]

For sure, I thought Wakka was a decent character but Zell was probably the only FF character to really make me laugh.

[wild-one]

will this be alright?

[crazybayman]

oh yeah, you'll need gel

[Rocket Edge]

I wonder how the cosplay turned out after...

[MVP]

Zell's really only 5'5? lol damn

[Jiro]

I would really like to have seen the backflip. I was so looking forward to it.
