Comments:A lot of people didn't know who we were since the games won't be out for a hundred more years. But they're really cool, and we have crazy swords. Yay for sintra! This was the first cosplay we've entered in a competition, and it was mighty fun. During the process there were many a cry of "NOMURAAAA" [insert fist shake] since the designs kept changing. We ended up using a synthesis of many of the designs depending on what we were working on at the time. We plan to expand on these and make a few more FFXIII series cosplays to complement each one.
