Most goth character.

[Irish Vincent]

Who is the most goth FF character ever?

Note: Lulu does not count!

[Raebus]

I choose Lulu.

[PuPu]

Vincent and Lulu both seem equally "gothic," if your definition of "gothic" is what I think it is.

[Goldenboko]

The definition of Gothic has become warped, blown apart and retarded. Now anyone who wears a lot of black is "gothic." I miss the time when Gothic was just a style of architecture.

Anyway.

I choose Lulu.

Black Mage from FFI is one goth son of a gun. He sets a real standard.

This thread is also best suited to General FF. General FF is basically the forum to go to when you want to make threads about characters from every FF game.

Paine, Vincent and yes, Lulu all strike me as somewhat 'goth'. Squall rates an honourable mention.

Paine has thigh-high boots, a barbed-wire necklace, and a sword with a skull on it. If she were any more goth, she'd poo bats.

Don't we need some kind of definition for "goth" here? Are we going with the traditional Byronic hero type? Or is this purely a question of aesthetics? If it's the former then it's obviously Squall, and if it's the latter then I question the purpose of this thread.

[Bolivar]

the Dissidia/nomura representation of the "Warrior of Light" might be a little goth with the horns and skull.

I figure we're probably going with modern 'popular' conceptions of the word, which tend to favour style over substance. The traditional (many might say, 'proper') uses of 'Goth' or 'gothic' (tribal, architectural, literary) aren't really what the thread's aimed at...

Just ignore it. That hack ran out of original character designs around a decade ago.

I'd like to know why Lulu is not allowed, though. Not that I'm a big fan of hers anyway, but what, were you hoping that everyone would just default to Vincent, if they couldn't choose her?

[blackmage_nuke]

Clearly the correct answer is Selphie

[Bakamut]

Err... Why doesn't Lulu count? I'd say she's pretty dang gothic.

Actually the term gothic for CLOTHES, means clothing styles based off the clothing worn around the dark ages to the victorian periods, which would fit lulu completely, last time I checked, she was the only one who wore a corset.

is a clothing style worn by both male and female members of the Goth subculture. It is stereotyped as a dark, sometimes morbid, eroticized fashion and style of dress. Typical gothic fashion includes black dyed hair and black clothes. Both male and female goths wear dark eyeliner and dark fingernails. Styles are often borrowed from the Elizabethans and Victorians. The extent to which goths hold to this stereotype varies, though virtually all Goths wear some of these elements.

Goth fashion is often confused with heavy metal fashion, and uninformed outsiders often mistake fans of heavy metal for goth,[1] particularly those who wear black trenchcoats or wear "corpse paint" (a term associated with the black metal music scene). Such misconceptions are especially rife in regards to the black metal subgenre.

Goth fashion can be recognized by its stark black clothing (or hair or makeup), often contrasted with boldly colored clothing, hair and makeup in strong shades of deep reds, purples, blues or emerald green, in fabrics and styles that evoke romantic eras as well as morbidity, that usually combine style elements that flow and drape as well as restrict or emphasize and sexualize a body part (i.e. corsetry or tight sleeves or trousers). Goth fashion further emphasizes the personal power of an individual, as the calculated juxtapositions of elements of the rugged accessories(i.e. metallic and leather), to that of the vulnerable, fragile and sensual restriction of body parts (i.e. lace, silks, and high heels for either gender). Like other fashions that embrace elaborate fashion choices and rules, goth fashion elicits attention from others, both goth or non-goth.

Personally, Lulu's the only one that actually fits in the definitions given above, She wears clothing peices of the victorian periods (see her corset) she wears leather AND lace, (Her dress is leather and her sleeves have lace trim) Her necklaces ARE purple, blue and Green.
