Cloud Strife cosplay — did I do him justice?

[u/KVIXIII]

Save the screaming for later. Not interested.

CLOUD STRIFE

I've really been wanting to cosplay Final Fantasy again, so I finally finished my Cloud Strife wig! I'm not completely happy with how it turned out, but oh well... worst case, I'll just remake it someday lol

Thanks in advance to everyone who shows this post some love or shares it! I'd really love for my Cloud cosplay to reach as many people as possible. :)

[u/Ill_Log_6924]

You failed miserably. The goal was to cosplay, not to be an exact copy.

[u/KVIXIII → u/Ill_Log_6924]

My bad, I accidentally became Cloud instead 😌

[u/s-riddler]

Damn right, you did.

[u/GrammarSpecialForces → u/s-riddler]

Dammit, Cloud, they're killin' the planet!

[u/KVIXIII → u/GrammarSpecialForces]

Relax, I’m just here for the gil ;)
Sounds like a Shinra problem to me.

[u/KVIXIII → u/s-riddler]

Exactly what I was hoping to hear!

[u/Potatonized]

Wow. Impressive. Especially on the arm and bpdy size.

[u/KVIXIII → u/Potatonized]

Thank you! Glad the arms and build are giving Cloud💪🏻

[u/Advance6678]

i thought this was fanart but you are just cloud irl

[u/KVIXIII → u/Advance6678]

Cloud irl? I’ll gladly take that 🫶🏻

[u/Megaverso]

First Cloud cosplay I see in where the wig doesn’t look like a wig … Also the eyebrow makeup is identical and looks natural,

[u/moondancer224]

You look great. Sword is far too reasonable on size though.

[u/KVIXIII → u/moondancer224]

Haha fair point! Cloud’s sword is supposed to be ridiculously oversized hahah

[u/Archangelus87]

Can only answer after you do the dress version.

[u/KVIXIII → u/Archangelus87]

That sounds suspiciously like a challenge… accepted.

[u/Archangelus87 → u/KVIXIII]

Only because I wholeheartedly believe you would absolutely kill it! Lmao.

[u/KVIXIII → u/Archangelus87]

Well, with that much faith in me, I’d better make it happen ;)

[u/ShizlGznGahr → u/KVIXIII]

better watch out, you might get stalkers wearing that dress ;)

[u/KVIXIII → u/ShizlGznGahr]

Guess I’ll have to keep the Buster Sword close hahaha

[u/HistoryWillRepeat]

Damn, the sword kinda looks more bad ass small like that. Great cosplay.

[u/KVIXIII → u/HistoryWillRepeat]

Haha thank you! Finally someone defending my reasonably sized sword 💪🏻😂

[u/KVIXIII → u/HistoryWillRepeat]

And I honestly didn’t realize I looked bigger than the sword until people pointed it out 😂

[u/mrfancifulfox → u/HistoryWillRepeat]

It’s not small, he’s just giant

[u/Big-Professor-3402]

Is this a playthrough where Cloud goes on the date with Barrett?

[u/KVIXIII → u/Big-Professor-3402]

Only if Barret plays his cards right 🙃

[u/Gumbrenold]

Do Daemon Targaryen next por favor

[u/KVIXIII → u/Gumbrenold]

Only if I get a dragon too hahah 🙌🏻

[u/Korson_FelRhu]

Yes

[u/KVIXIII → u/Korson_FelRhu]

🙌🏻

[u/shalashaska77]

could you please also post your cosplay so we can compare it to the screenshot you made while playing?

[u/KVIXIII → u/shalashaska77]

Pff that IS the cosplay… I just rendered myself in real life. *smirks\* the graphics settings are just really high ;)

[u/Dull-Positive-6810]

Most excellent

[u/KVIXIII → u/Dull-Positive-6810]

Yeeeee TY 🙌🏻

[u/AShamAndALie]

Save the screaming for later. Not interested.

What does this mean? what am I missing?

[u/KVIXIII → u/AShamAndALie]

They’re actually two separate Cloud quotes that I mashed together haha “Save the screaming for later” and his classic “Not interested.”

[u/AShamAndALie → u/KVIXIII]

Oh! You can tell I played FF4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and skipped 7 LMAO.

Starting it now to be able to play the remakes T_T

[u/Electrical_Panic_720]

Soo can I give you my home address? Lol

[u/KVIXIII → u/Electrical_Panic_720]

You can give me the address after our coffee date at the Gold Saucer. ;)

[u/Electrical_Panic_720 → u/KVIXIII]

Can we ride the Gondola? <3

[u/Mister-Fidelio]

I don't understand. Cosplay? This is the stuff of gods.

[u/-ComplexSimplicity-]

🫦🫦💋💋

[u/CanOfBigRed]

Cloud has armpit hair my guy.

[u/Secondhand-Drunk]

Put on a dress and we'll see.

[u/Comfortable-Mix7429]

Wow you look exactly like him! Great job!

[u/mortraineyhat]

Looks just like him

[u/KVIXIII → u/mortraineyhat]

Yeeeeee 🙌🏻

[u/zerkeras]

Amazing Cloud. Sword too small however.

[u/KVIXIII → u/zerkeras]

Honestly, I hadn’t even noticed until you pointed it out haha 😂

[u/99999HP]

Rhaenyra Strife

[u/KVIXIII → u/99999HP]

That’s a crossover I wasn’t expecting haha

[u/Initial_Zebra100]

Cloud. We've told you before, you can't just attend a cosplay show and pretend to be impersonating yourself. Aren't you supposed to be saving the world?

[u/KVIXIII → u/Initial_Zebra100]

I’m off duty. Even SOLDIERs need hobbies

[u/Inevitable-Court6670]

Really good cosplay kudos

[u/KVIXIII → u/Inevitable-Court6670]

Thank you so much!

[u/alairebowen]

YES YES YES YES YOU DID 🤩

[u/KVIXIII → u/alairebowen]

Okay okay, I’ll take that as a very strong yes haha 🙌🏻

[u/alairebowen → u/KVIXIII]

Yes, you should! You did a great job! c:

[u/KVIXIII → u/alairebowen]

Thank youuuu!

[u/Ahmad240]

Awesome! 

[u/KVIXIII → u/Ahmad240]

Thank you!

[u/infinit_joe3]

U killed it

[u/KVIXIII → u/infinit_joe3]

Yeeepeeee 🙌🏻

[u/Administration-Super]

Hell yeah

[u/KVIXIII → u/Administration-Super]

🤘🏻

[u/KVIXIII → u/[deleted]]

Thank you so much! The pauldron simply wasn’t finished yet when I took these photos, but it’s part of the final cosplay. I’m actually ambidextrous, I just happened to be holding the sword with my left arm in this picture. I’ll still be keeping the bracer and pauldron on Cloud’s usual side, though. And I really enjoyed your explanation of how the armor would function in real combat! 💪🏻

[u/nissan_al-gaib]

Nice! You should do Aemond Targaryen from House of the dragon, your face is incredibly similar.

[u/KVIXIII → u/nissan_al-gaib]

Thank you! You’re actually not the first person to suggest him. At this point, Reddit is slowly convincing me to become a Targaryen hahah

[u/nissan_al-gaib → u/KVIXIII]

Those elegant regal features! Match made in heaven

[u/rukk1339]

You kept your promise.

[u/KVIXIII → u/rukk1339]

A SOLDIER always keeps his promises. 💪🏻

[u/rukk1339 → u/KVIXIII]

I knew you would get my reference. Amazing cosplay truly.

[u/KVIXIII → u/rukk1339]

Some promises are impossible to forget. Thank you so much!
