I don't know quite what to make of this. Is it cosplay? Not quite. But it's not quite "proper" clothing either, as far as I'm concerned. The above image comes from Square Enix's absurdly named DKΣ3713 event, and is a piece of formal wear designed by clothing line Roen, based on finery from Final Fantasy XIII.
Square Enix and Roen have collaborated to produce a line of formal wear emulating costumes worn by characters in XIII. In something of a two-way pact, Roen has also worked on some of the character design for Versus XIII. Clever way of hawking your own products to obsessives.
Speaking of obsessive, that's certainly something you'd have to be if you want any of this stuff. We're talking hundreds of dollars here, for Roen stuff. I know, it's disgusting, but not as disgusting as this very simple and undeniable fact -- someone, somewhere, will buy these bloody things.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
