I agree.

I give it a bad image? How? I've never cosplayed in my life. Firstly, Final Fantasy is always going to be thought of as a 'nerdy' thing in Western countries. That's how almost all non racing/shooting games are thought of. Secondly, in Japan, where cosplay is HUGE, Final Fantasy is very popular with everyone. So your conclusion doesnt make a lick of sense.
I wasnt saying you gave it a bad image i said Cosplayers do. And this isnt Japan which make's that statement illrelevant. Dont believe me that Cosplayers give what they cosplay as a bad image? Then check this http://www.ytmnd.com/list/?search=cosplay .
