Her outfit

[Ultima Star]

What do u think about the way she dresses?
I think she's cool and her outfit is also cool

[Desi]

I dislike her outfit. The scarf only adds more to the horrible wardrobe.

my opinion would contrast with yours :P


her outfit is well designed and suits the environment well :nod:

[Kitmitsu]

I'd say her outfit was pretty good. At least they aren't pulling a X-2 and putting her in almost nothing. I suppose Desi would prefer that :rolleyes:

[Ultima Star]

Say, her outfit is good.
Has style, lol!

[Enedok]

Its one of the better styles in a long time IMO. Only Auron can compete with her. The cape/scarf looks awesome. Its not like a silly superhero cape, but it fits her.

[Ultima Star]

Indeed, Nomura-san Great job!!

[Aquaman]

I agree, the outfit is cool and the cape is cool.

[Desi]

No, I wouldn't I just have better style.

Her armpad gives a unbalance design but I guess people likes Cloud's so it doesn't bother them as much. That Scarf feels like a cheap attempt to add to the lacking detail of the wardrobe, and scarfs are almost always a bad choice when wearing a lack of clothing. I only seem to find comfort in the design of the shorts. The gloves are fine but don't need that long piece of latex going up her arm. The boots aren't practical with a short sleeve/short shorts outfit. Some type of smaller shoes/tennis/sneakers would have been much better. Damn those are a lot of buckles, take to much time to tie up. A double zipper(like his Org. XIII raincoats) would have done the job. There are other things but I won't really get into those.

well nomura likes paying attention to detail on this one..so 1 point to buckles.her shoes are slightly impractical but if their a tight fit then it wouldn't be a bother...plus it'd prevent anything getting into her feet e.g water if she were to cross some river or something :rolleyes: and the shoulder pad shows her military status or somethin so you gota have it


overall i like her design and i aint complaining :rolleyes:

The buckles are impractical. The shoes aren't a tight fit, they have so much extra space that it doesn't stop her from getting water in them. Other then the front, the material for the rest of the boots look as if they wear down in water. I know about the "Single Shoulderpad" but it also gives a unbalance look like a bull with one horn. The ring on her right arm looks like a chinese finger trap and the turtleneck sweater under the jacket adds to the degree of confusion in the whole outfit. So you wear boots, gloves, shorts, but have a sweater with a jacket over it as well? That as a a set makes no sense what so ever. It would be like having a fleece, sandals, bike helmet, and swimming trunks.

[Lifrasthir]

I would have to agree the shoulder guard does offbalance her outfit since there isn't anything to contrast it on the other side...it seems as though Square's focused everything to her left (our right). The shoulder guard's on her left shoulder, the cape comes off of her left shoulder, the pink pouch is located on her left leg, etc...but other than that I think it's a very interesting outfit. And definately better than some of Sqare's past outfits.

[Desi]

Her hair goes to the left as well. I like the hair though, the curls give her a more posh look. Even if I can't say the same for the lot of her attire.

[Lifrasthir]

Exactly. I've noticed Square's also gravitated toward girls with straight hair. I had to go through all the Final Fantasies and check my theory...

[Desi]

Now that is not true at all. Amano's girls are not fans of straight hair with only two-three without curly hair(Garnet and Celes). Nomura on the other hand does prefer straight hair(Tifa and Aya). Yoshida likes curls in the front and the rest normally is a combination(Agrias and Callo). Naora I can't speak much on, though he seems to prefer more modern I believe.

[Lifrasthir]

*is defeated* I think I counted some wavy haired girls as straight..*goes to get new glasses*

[Desi]

Yes, Terra/Tina and Faris are Wavy and Amano's favorite girl character designs. But straight hair? Not at all.

[Lifrasthir]

Ah, that makes more sense...

[Flint]

Remember that the game is called 'Final Fantasy', not Final Reality - the clothing designs are mostly chosen because they look cool or unique, not because they are supposed to be practical.

Too bad that they also look like a hot mess then huh? I am sorry you can call sleeveless turtleneck sweaters and championship wreslting belts fantasy or "unique". I don't see it as being very stylized to be called neither. Just because some guy wants to wear a trashcan doesn't make it very fantasy or unique. It is a trashcan.

You can create a very fantasy based wardrobe and still be stylish. Her mismatched choices of equipment is a joke. Unless it gives awesome hidden stats we don't know about...

Fantasy is style to me not a time period or a name attached a title. Magic, dragons, and flying boats aren't fantasy to me; stylish magic, dragons, and flying boats are though. Her outfit isn't stylish or practical. Wearing a hoodie, dress shoes, basecap, and a shirt doesn't make it fantasy because i'm fighting off fire breathing daises with a 7 foot bow and spring water magic.

To clarify:

Fantasy: something created from the imagination - it is not bound to any particular style or genre.

Unique: something that is unlike anything else - doesn't necessarily have to be a complimentary term.

When I said that they use the clothing choices they do because they are cool or unique, I meant that is the opinion of the designer - whether you like them or not is down to your own personal taste.

[Desi]

And personal taste is what the whole thread is about isn't it? I edited my post a little so you may want to check it out. I just think her outfit is atrocious.

[Terros]

The game has a futuristic world, so Nomura is free to experiment with different styles. I don't expect people in a "future" world to be wearing the styles we see everyday.

In short, I like the outfit. Because of the setting it allowed Nomura to have a lot of freedom in the design.

[Desi]

All i want is someone to explain SLEEVELESS TURTLENECK SWEATERS. It is a oxymoron, oh snap I explained it myself.

[Flint]

I kind of like her outfit, but I can understand what it is you find so ridiculous about it, I guess it doesn't really bother me as much. The only thing that really will annoy me about it is if she wears it in conditions that are completely innapropriate - like climbing some snowy mountain or something like that.

[Terros]

It's stylish, that's why, and it's a style that has already existed, I think....back in the 70's....

Let me link you to my longest post here
http://forums.finalfantasy-xiii.net/showpost.php?p=17528&postcount=23 I have a way to please.



It's stylish, that's why, and it's a style that has already existed, I think....back in the 70's.......right, I don't believe it but rich drugged up *race word* people wouldn't surprise me. If you look at the pic of her standing you notice that is it even more a useless sweater. It doesn't cover her midrift. So it is a sleeveless, turtleneck sweater that doesn't cover your belly...

[Terros]

Then ask Nomura why he made her that way. If the styles are really that bothersome then become a character designer.

[Misschoco]

you wouldnt really know if the boots are a tight fit or not.I dont really know how you can tell;)\Anyways in fact as much as i like her shoulder pad....like you said it unbalances the whole outfit.
It is a futuristic world so the number of outfits are endless....really in a futuristic setting you should experiment with loads of crazy outfits.you shouldnt really expect a style we have today in their world around 200 years ahead of us.

[Terros]

Exactly, the styles are gonna be strange because it's not "our" time.

[Desi]

Then ask Nomura why he made her that way.I would love too. I would also slap him If the styles are really that bothersome then become a character designer.
I do that.

Exactly, the styles are gonna be strange because it's not "our" time.If you want to use that as an example then why wear mismatched clothes of our time at all? Why not create totally new outfits?

[Inferno187]

Well.. At least its better than the FFXII ones.. Soo I think any positive progress is good..
No matter how little XD

[Desi]

Well.. At least its better than the FFXII ones.. Soo I think any positive progress is good..

At least XII outfits were better then the FFX ones. "Soo I think any positive progress is good.."

Don't make me start.

[Inferno187]

I disagree.. Not like y'all care anyway, but still

[Terros]

I do that.

Really? *_* -sparkily eyes-

Because that's harder than it sounds. Stop whining, your whining makes me want to punch babies!!!

[masamune]

I make mine your words. completly agree with you. And i really liked FFXIII outfits till now, visually talking, i think they fit the game pretty well. Also, I like Nomura's designs.

[Terros]

Yes, I think the outfit works with the game. It's not just about how it looks but how it flows with the enviroment around it.

[masamune]

Yes, I think the outfit works with the game. It's not just about how it looks but how it flows with the enviroment around it.This is all that needs to be said. Stop the discussion about her clothes being or not good for a battle as if we were in real life.

[Terros]

I know, I have an idea. Since everyone is so obsessed with FF charcter clothes why don't we have design your own FF character contest?

[masamune]

I know, I have an idea. Since everyone is so obsessed with FF charcter clothes why don't we have design your own FF character contest?

Great oportunity for showing off my skills:rolleyes:... we need first set a world, if its not the world of XIII. And the character would be female ou male? If the contest happens i'm in.

[Terros]

Well it's doesn't have to be in a perticular world and the character could be what ever you wanted. It's just to test character designing, and see what other members think.

[Desi]

Because that's harder than it sounds. Stop whining, your whining makes me want to punch babies!!!

I want to punch babies when people blindly love anything the guy does without any rationality. I am only sharing a different viewpoint. I said why don't he create a unique future outfit that is nothing like anything we have seen before. It was done with the plug suits in Evangelion, I am sure Nomura can come up with something.

[Terros]

Well I started topic where you can design your own ff character, I would like to see what everyone here can come up with.

[Alphonse]

Well I think shes pretty and hot.

[Ultima Star]

I was thinking will she have other outfits? or just that one?..I don't want her to be changing clothes like if she was part of FF X-2:blink:

[Alphonse]

Well I dont know. That would be cool.

[Ultima Star]

For me it'd be ok..but no..wait..I don't want to go on a dress hunt..it'd suck:'(

[Alphonse]

Well anyway shell still look hot.

[Ultima Star]

...I can't really say much about it^_^
But I don't really know.

[Alphonse]

LOL Yeah. I guess a she lookes alright right now.

[Desi]

Lets count the buckles shall we?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v733/Marsalis/669akqr.jpg

14. Am I the only one that thinks Nomura should stop drinking paint?

When Tetsuya Nomura wants to add detail--
HE DRINKS PAINT AND DECIDES TO GIVE THEM MORE BELTS.
I guess not.

[DragonFly]

I like her design, belts are sexy. Her design is very fun to draw (:

[Alphonse]

Man! Thats a lot of belts!

[Ultima Star]

It still looks cool to me:D

[Alphonse]

Yeah, She still lookes hot!

[Ultima Star]

>_> whatever the belts look pretty cool indeed:nod:

[Alphonse]

LOL Yeah. Its a nice addition I guess.

[Lifrasthir]

I guess not.

You forgot the buckle on the pouch opposite of number 10, and the three buckles on each of her shoes. So there's actually 21. :P

[Ultima Star]

Well yeah, no matter what others say i like it:D

[Alphonse]

LOL Man! Thats a lot of belts!

[Ultima Star]

Nomura went a little crazy:blink:

[Alphonse]

LOL I imagen him going crazy.

[Ultima Star]

Well, yeah I mean adding soo many belts:blink:

[Alphonse]

Yeah. He over used them.

[Ultima Star]

But it's still cool:D

[Alphonse]

Offcourse it is!

[Desi]

No it isn't. Wear that and go outside. Might be the biggest laugh people have seen all year.

[Ultima Star]

But is a game Mr. it's just a game:D

[Erika]

ee so many belts.. but it is looked cool.
i think that is prefect outfit for different weather.

[Adria]

Well I truly, honestly like her outfit. I think it's cool and very futuristic (plus this time a female character's sweater is zipped all the way up - if that isn't a sight).

[Alphonse]

No it isn't. Wear that and go outside. Might be the biggest laugh people have seen all year.

Its a game man.

[Desi]

Well I truly, honestly like her outfit. I think is cool and very futuristic (plus this time a female character's sweater is zipped all the way up - if that isn't a sight).Short shorts and a turtleneck really must be the wave of the future. Especially since they both do totally different things...

[Alphonse]

Yeah. Must be whats in freakin fashion in the game.lol

[Desi]

It also isn't safe. Unless your mother still dresses you, you should know that turtleneck sweaters are hot and used in cold weather. Short shorts are not so hot and wore in hot weather. Are you getting this?

[Ultima Star]

Well..ok..she uses different things..as you said shorts are for hot weather and turtleneck sweaters are for cold weather but perhaps this turtleneck sweater it's not made of a material like..let's see wool but perhaps is made of cotton and it isn't that warm so she can use it let's see in spring, autumn

[Desi]

Right...no.

At least you tried. I would even accept: her turtleneck is embedded with water magic to keep her body cool at all times. Or some other made up jazz.

[Ultima Star]

Oh man! Mr. perhaps the weather doesn't matter ^^
But it is an interesting thing you're saying

[lathandien]

Now that is not true at all. Amano's girls are not fans of straight hair with only two-three without curly hair(Garnet and Celes). Nomura on the other hand does prefer straight hair(Tifa and Aya).

and your saying your 12?

[Desi]

YA me only twelve! I love to play with my transformers and X-men 8 inch action figures so I can redo the fights with uncanny attention to detail.

[Mavericc]

is it a cape or is it a scarf?? whatever it is it makes her look silly :blink:

i think she should lose that bit of material that hangs off her back (i mean, what is with that!?). :D

[Alphonse]

It also isn't safe. Unless your mother still dresses you, you should know that turtleneck sweaters are hot and used in cold weather. Short shorts are not so hot and wore in hot weather. Are you getting this?

WTF!? Dude! Take it easy! Its a game! Well she lookes hot and thats it!

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

i think she should lose that bit of material that hangs off her back (i mean, what is with that!?). :D

I think it looks pretty cool :D Frankly, if I was the artist then I would add as much extra as I can to make her look awesome but not messy and trashy :P

[Desi]

if I was the artist then I would add as much extra as I can to make her look awesome but not messy and trashy :P
But she does look messy and trashy. Look at the mismatch outfit. If her shoes were different sizes, shapes, or colors that would be the feather that broke the camels back.

[Flint]

There's no need to hyper-analyse every tiny detail of her outfit, it's just a fictional character in a fictional world, why take it so seriously? Does it really matter to you that much? Would the outlandish costumes really spoil your enjoyment of the game?

[Desi]

Yes, because even though it is still a videogame the point is to suspend your disbelief if only for a little while. That outfit staring me in the face all the time sure isn't helping.

[Alphonse]

Shes still hot.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

But she does look messy and trashy. Look at the mismatch outfit. If her shoes were different sizes, shapes, or colors that would be the feather that broke the camels back.

She does look that way? :blink: Wow...observative... maybe fashion in her world is not the same as ours?

[Flint]

Yes, because even though it is still a videogame the point is to suspend your disbelief if only for a little while. That outfit staring me in the face all the time sure isn't helping.

If you can suspend your disbelief in FF to accept the existance of monsters, people with magical powers, end of the world apocalypses and a whole load of other crazy supernatural stuff, why is it so hard to accept that people would wear such bizarre outfits?

[Desi]

That is the point. It is hard for me to suspend my disbelief. I try and it fails and the outfits aren't helping. Dumpster Diving on a another world may be fashion but it isn't something I will be pleased to look at.

[Flint]

It is hard for me to suspend my disbelief. I try and it fails and the outfits aren't helping.


I imagine that must be quite a big problem for you if you play a lot of RPG's.

I wonder if the other main characters in FFXIII will have similarly ridiculous outfits? That blond guy looks reasonably dressed from what we've seen so far, at least in comparison to Lightning.

[Desi]

I imagine that must be quite a big problem for you if you play a lot of RPG's.

You have no idea. If it wasn't for the grinding that I get off on and the townspeople.

I am a fan of the little things. The more you screw around with things like changeable wardrobe, interactive environments, or non-instanced battles the better it is for me. I still play games that have none (there not hard to find) but I would expect this series out of all to incorporate this.
