I'd totally forgotten about these photos from the recent GCos cosplay show in COEX mall, Seoul. The event hosted several 'famous' professional cosplayers from Japan who gave a long series of interviews and did a show for us based upon their Final Fantasy 7/X-2/X and costumes. They even had a mixture of Korean and Japanese fans in the audience who shouted greetings and encouragement to them during the event.

They were dressed as:

FF7: Sephiroth (Kurusa Ruka.) Cloud (Kaname - the only man.) Tifa (the gorgeous Aira.)

FFX-2: Rikku (the terrifying Barbie Tsukino.) Yuna (Aya-san.) Paine (Tada Kaie.)

FFX: Lulu (57 - what a strange name. )

Here are some of my favorite photos from what was a wonderful show. I've put the rest under the spoiler because there are nearly 40 shots.

(I couldn't stop photographing her - she was brilliant.)

(This woman scared me - but she did embody the character very well with her mannerisms.)

Tifa was really great! I dont think the guy showing as Cloud was suited as cloud though. And Sephiroth was even more horrible. But great pics NeverGG!

Sephiroth looked like a chibi version of DMC's Lord Krauser.
Cloud got everything right except for his figure (and face, but cant do anything about that)
Lulu looked a bit evil, but nonetheless great.
Rikku looks like she had one too many botox injections.

(: Thanks NeverGG, great shots

That Cloud's hair is amazingly close to the original as is the outfit and sword. That's probably the best cosplay I've seen in terms of similarity to the original.
