Fangirls. When I google that, I get an image of screaming teen girls with cameras and drooling mouths. It doesn’t matter what they are fangirls of, they will be excessively obsessed and kind of frightening. For those of you who aren’t good at mental images, here is the one I was referencing.
We here at Eyes on Final Fantasy will be the first to admit that the series has not been hitting perfection with each instalment. Vivi22 and Wolf Kanno would be the first, but they are busy fighting each other for the honour of trash talking FFXIII-2. This town ain’t big enough for the both of ‘em.
(PS Kanno you’re fired.)
(Just kidding, scared ya, didn’t I?)
Anyway. The Biggest Final Fantasy Fangirl Ciddie will be awarded shortly to the man, woman, boy, girl or quina that we, the normal people, deem to be the most grotesquely obsessive lunatic to walk the site.
Now that sounds harsh, and I will apologise for that, because our fanatical little friends are still beloved members of our community, as much as we like to label them weird and wrong. Despite not realising that it’s not cool to love Final Fantasy these days, they still buy every game, every little collectible and perhaps even dress up.
Oh yeah. They dress up.
DMKA
A long-time fan of the moody, dark characters in video games, DMKA’s favourite cosplay is, of course, none other than Vincent Valentine. He went for an artsy shot here, black and white with just a touch of colour.
Jessweeee♪
Jessweeee♪’s happy go lucky personality is just perfect for cosplaying as Selphie Tilmitt. Yes, that is Loony BoB behind her. No, he is not wearing a costume.
Renmiri
Renmiri is a very mysterious character to me, and it is quite fitting to see Vivi Orunitia as the costume of choice! What lies under that floppy wizard’s hat? Who knows!
ShlupQuack
ShlupQuack loves kids. A lot. Not in the creepy pervert way though. One day, ShlupQuack hopes to have little ButtTheQuacklings running around causing mayhem. That’s why ShlupQuack loves to dress up as Final Fantasy’s PowerMom, Lulu.
Wolf Kanno
Wolf Kanno is a strange man. On the outside, he openly bashes Final Fantasy XIII. Do you know why he does this? It’s because his love for the game is so deep that, were he to share his true feelings, it would bear his very soul to the world. In his spare time he likes to dress up as his Final Fantasy mancrush, Snow Villiers.
These are you fangirls, EoFF. Mock them. Love them. Celebrate their obsession. Hide your own.
