I mentioned in my first news update that my focus is on Final Fantasy multimedia both offline and online. What better what to combine those to than to post photos of some excellent cosplay. Cosplay has an internet reputation for being comical, as there are many unsucessful cosplay photos floating around. On this website, we'd like to focus on promoting hard working cosplayers who succeed by putting a great deal of effort in their costume and accessories. So take a seat and prepared to be amazed by these fantastic Final Fantasy cosplayers!
Note: While we on Eyes on Final Fantasy love to give credit to all of the excellent cosplayers featured on our front site, we often are unable to find their information or name to credit them by. If you are one of the cosplayers featured on the front site and would like to be credited, please contact us via email, or better yet, contact us via the forum, and we will add your credit information ASAP! Thank you for your patience!
First up: This super awesome Final Fantasy X-2 cosplay of Yuna.
"Two years since the demise of Sin, Yuna finds herself involved in a Sphere Hunting group called the Gullwings after finding a Sphere which may contain the whereabouts of her lost love, Tidus. Since she can no longer summon Aeons, she has learned to defend herself through powerful machina pistols known to her as the "Tiny Bee"."
Wow, look at all of the work put into those accessories! Truly, there is not one detail spared. And the cosplayer even looks a lot alike Yuna. Fantastic! My favorite touch is the microphone. Songstress was always one of my favorite battle orientations to fight under!

Another Final Fantasy X-2 cosplay: Rikku!
"Rikku's back! Wearing a revealing outfit and wielding two daggers, she assists Yuna as a fellow member of the Gullwings. She was the one that set events into motion when she showed Yuna the mysterious Sphere of Tidus. Rikku is Yuna's younger cousin and is also the little sister of Brother."
Look how colorful that costume is - especially the scarf! The costume looks so incredible well sewn as well. The hair is also very well done. Who ever you are, Rikku cosplayer, Eyes on Final Fantasy gives you two thumbs up for your hard work!

I'm sure by now, you are all wondering why there haven't been any male cosplayers, or any other Final Fantasy cosplayers featured. Not to worry. I will satisfy both - here is a fantastic cosplay of a male character from Final Fantasy 7....
Reno of Final Fantasy 7!
"Reno is a prominent member of the Turks, ranking directly below Tseng, whose main weapon is a retractable, metallic stun baton called an Electro-Mag Rod. He is characterized as cocky, cynical, and somewhat lazy, but is nonetheless highly skilled and takes pride in his work."
Whoa! That tough look on his face scares me a little bit, to be entirely honest! He really nailed this cosplay well. It's one of my favorites I've ever seen. One thing I need to know: HOW did he get his hair to stay so perfectly styled? Hairspray could not possibly do it all. I bet he used egg yolk, but I'm not sure. Feel free to tell us your tips, cosplayer, on our forum.
