    Default Eyes on Final Fantasy Cosplay - Terra Branford

    terra2.jpg

    Welcome to the first edition of Eyes on Final Fantasy Cosplay. Every 2nd Saturday this article will gather together some of the finest, most daring, most inspired or most colourful cosplays of a beloved Final Fantasy character.

    Each time you'll get to vote on who you think is the best cosplayer of the bunch and we'll do our best to try and get an interview with them for you.

    If you're a Cosplayer and you'd like to be featured in this series or if you've simply found some Cosplay that you think should be featured, then please get in touch by sending a Mognet Message to either Aulayna or Melissaur, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

    For our first edition, we will be looking at one of the most popular Final Fantasy females and arguably the first female protagonist of a numbered title in the franchise earning her the right to represent Final Fantasy VI in the Dissidia series. Yes, if the big image and artwork haven't already given it away, it's Terra Branford!


    Whether going for her Final Fantasy VI appearance or her Dissidia appearance, Terra's outfit consisting of a red leotard, purple sash, red boots and gloves is an immediately eye-catching look.


    However, as fans of the character know, Terra starts out as a confused young woman often questioning her emotions, or apparent lack thereof. Early on she is easily confused and frightened but eventually becomes more assertive and determined. Ultimately though, she is brave and willing to fight to make the world a better place. This is something worth bearing in mind when looking at the cosplays below!





    Constantine Constantine goes for the Dissidia variation of Terra, looking rather pensive on that rock.

    It's worth pointing out the attention to detail here on the cloak and the finer parts of Terra's leotard.












    Madoka Madoka-Swan goes for the original Amano concept art design with her costume.

    Just look at all those flowers!













    Gilraen Gilraen goes for the more traditional FFVI look with the trademark mint green hair.

    Be sure to open this one up fully and take a look at the attention to detail.












    Liliana Liliana keeps us on the theme of the classic Terra design with her costume.

    Just look at the internal anguish reflected in those eyes!













    Relterra Relterra continues leading us on this charge - is she looking up to the sky in a moment of brief contemplation, or is she about to unleash a Magitek Elite skill?


    Be sure to take a look at the full photo, it really looks like a casting animation!










    Kapalaka Kapalaka rounds us off for this edition with her elegant interpretation of Terra's sprite and art. Red Leotard? Check. Purple Shoulder Pads? Check.

    Speaking of checking - Check out the the detail on the leatherworking!

    Well that's it for this edition! Be sure to comment below with your thoughts and take the time to vote in the poll for your favourite Terra. We'll feature the winning Terra, hopefully along with an interview with her, in our next edition.

    But... what Cosplays will we be seeing in the next edition, I hear you ask? Well, that would be telling! But to give you some hints - this character pretty much set the bar for villainy badassedness and the verdict's still out on whether his hair is longer than his sword. Who will it be? Come back in 2 weeks to find out!

    Either of the first two, but I'll go for Madoka-Swan. Cool name as well. And great work! Can't wait to see other people's incarnations of characters! Do Balthier next!

    Gilraen gets my vote. Lots of detail and very faithful to the original; looks like Amano's art come to life.

    All of these are very impressive!

    Madoka-swan is the only one with the right attitude.

    So, the poll is closed and as voted by you guys the best Terra is Liliana!

    We're working on getting an interview with her for our next edition which should be out this time next week. :3

    Madoka-Swan didn't win? Travesty.

    Still, they were all excellent interpretations, though I do have a preference to the Dissidia version. I can't wait to hear the interview.
