Ridiculously decadent Final Fantasy XIII clothing from Roen photo

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.

And Japanese fans will buy into this. That, and the hardcore weeaboo-level fans here in the states will import it at exorbitant prices.

jim, you have no fashion sense, that suit is balla. the idea of cosplay actually being practical is exciting to me and there's nothing "obsessive" about wanting to dress like video game characters, especially if they look hot. i would totally hook up with a well-dressed gamer in a suit than a slob in a stained t-shirt and sweatpants any day.

hundreds of dollars is not that expensive for a suit. If it's in the thousands that's a whole other thing.

I never woulda guessed it was special. Even if one were to point it out to me that it came from a video game, I wouldn't believe them.

I'm thinking of ZZ Top's 'Sharp Dressed Man' at the moment.
