Lightning, Noel, Sazh, and Hope are modeling Prada for British fashion magazine Arena Homme+.

Wow, Hope is sexy.

Well...color me surprised that the article isn't dated April 1st.

I really can't get over Sazh's shoes.

Video game characters would probably be one of the last things you'd expect to see when you open a fashion magazine, but this month's Arena Homme+ will feature just that. Part of SquareEnix's 25 Years of Final Fantasy celebration, the 12-page spread will feature characters from the games wearing items from Prada's Spring 2012 Menswear collection.

Yoshinori Kitase, producer of Final Fantasy XIII-2 (and several other Final Fantasy games) said in an interview, “The Final Fantasy series is known for its creativity and innovation, so working with Prada, a renowned fashion house with such beautiful clothing, was a very exciting opportunity. The images we have been able to create together are vibrant and unique."

The issue featuring the CGI images, created at SquareEnix’s Visual Works studio in Japan, will hit shelves April 12th.

This is awful.

[Jinx]

Hope is so sexy now.

[Loony BoB]

Sahz looks alright. The rest of them look like they have dress sense worse than mine, and I assure you, that's saying something.

[Freya]

Yeah I agree. They look bad besides Sazh. He looks stunning in a suit. The rest look, silly. 'Specially Lightning.

[Mirage]

I really like lightning's clothes in that picture. I'm totally serious, too.

[Depression Moon]

The hell?

Also I'd rock that suit, just give me a different pair of shoes.

[Carl the Llama]

When they say fashion I just assume its the designers way of poking fun at the idiots who buy this crap, absolutely awful with the exception of Sazh.

[Marshall Banana]

Creepy.

[Laddy]

Sazh works. Everyone else looks silly. Lightning looks like an elderly metrosexual working at a sushi bar.

[Mirage]

Maybe that's why I liked her.

[Roto13]

Men's fashion is so boring.
