Final Fantasy VIII FF8 Rinoa Heartilly Cosplay

rinoa-a2Rinoa Heartilly is the main female protaganist of Final Fantasy 8.  She was part of a resistance group fighting the Galbadian army before she met Squall and joined his party.  When designing Rinoa, Tetsuya Nomura emphasized that he tried to avoid letting the possibilities presented by the recent advancements in full motion video technology become the entire focus, believing that these innovations might tempt developers to make their female characters “too beautiful” and focus more on physical appearance than personality. With this concern in mind, Nomura set out with the intention to avoid making Rinoa gorgeous, and to simply make her “cute” instead. To further emphasise this, he wrote a list of vocabulary traits and physical habits for Rinoa’s character that he felt conveyed this idea of “cute, not gorgeous”, and sent them to Nojima along with the character’s design. Rinoa’s costume is simple yet stylish. She wears a blue wide cut sleeveless duster coat with detached sleeves. If you’re making the costume yourself, Rinoa’s duster is probably the most important part to pay attention to. She has a V-neck black tank top underneath with black shorts. Over her shorts and around her waistline Rinoa wears a blue skirt with two strings hanging off the front side. She also has a black band tied in a knot on her left upper arm, high heeled black boots and wears a ring necklace.
