This year, I will be cosplaying as Yuna from Final Fantasy X-2, in her default gunner dressphere.
According to the Final Fantasy Wiki, Yuna is the female protagonist of Final Fantasy X and the main protagonist of Final Fantasy X-2. She is the daughter of High Summoner Braska and an unnamed Al Bhed woman, who died when Sin attacked her ship at sea. Yuna's mother was the sister of Cid, who is the father of Rikku and Brother, Yuna's cousins.
A powerful summoner like her father, she embarks on a quest in Final Fantasy X to expel Sin; meeting Tidus, who teaches her that there is more to life than sacrifice. In Final Fantasy X-2, she embarks on another quest, to uncover the mystery behind a movie sphere containing the image of a man resembling her lost love. She embarks on this quest with Rikku, and the mysterious Paine.
My reasoning for cosplaying as Yuna is actually a bit odd. I hated her character in Final Fantasy X. I was a LuLu fan, and Yuna just seemed like the typical female protagonist; she was the empathetic character who had sooo much on her plate. I just knew I was going to dislike her, but then her character developed, particularly because of her pilgrimage. At the end of Final Fantasy X, she became one of my favorite FF characters.
When Final Fantasy X-2 slipped into my Playstation 2, I saw Yuna's gunner dressphere and was in awe. It was colorful, it was fierce, it was sexy. I knew I had to do it one day.
To celebrate the end of my 5-year hiatus, I chose to cosplay as Yuna. ^_^ Cosplay is being commissioned by Alanna Dawn, a.k.a. DestinysEnding.
Who are you cosplaying as, and what character are you hoping to see at AWA this year?
