Yes, I've just returned from a con, and I'm planning new costumes already. I'm a masochist, I know. So right now I'm going through and doing for Rufus what I did for Sephiroth back in September - laying out what I like and don't like about the different versions. The decision is really between in-game and AC, because if full-body shots from BC exist, I haven't seen them (and I'm trying to stay spoiler-free for it anyway), and while trying to design an Amano version of Rufus would be an interesting challenge, it would also probably be a bit silly looking. So, in handy list form!
In-Game
Pros:
-Classic
-Trench coat! (yeah, I'm a sucker for long coats)
-Nicer hair
-Dark Nation, which I would totally make in plushie-form
Cons:
-I really don't like the cut of the blazer at all - double-breasted, with exterior pockets, ugh. (big deterrent for this one)
Advent Children
Pros:
-Waistcoat (...I'm also a sucker for waistcoats)
-Classier Turks (black > navy)
-Jenova head-in-a-box and tasty Jenova goo (Um, don't ask)
Cons:
-AC is really popular right now
-Most ridiculous pants in the world (the big deterrent here)
-I'm not sure my hair will go that shade (and no, I'm not trying to use a wig for hair that short)
Opinions welcomed, particularly from any of those who have offered to be my Turks, as we really ought to match. And anyone interested in joining, speak up. I'd like to debut this at Yaoicon this October, but doubtless will bring the outfit to other cons as well. Any and all Turks welcome - I've had at least two offers on Reno, which means at this rate, I may end up with a Reno clone army (which would be both awesome and scary - although I'm particularly looking for a Tseng (Skuld~ You know you want to. *coerces*)
