Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII: Reno, Sephiroth, and Zack Fair

I have no words.

For those who don’t know Gangnam Style, my question to you would be where have you been all this time?!

Featuring Jeremiah Hyoudou as Reno, Ianzky Gatuz as Sephiroth, and Louis Betita as Zack Fair. And for those who noticed, that indeed is the same Zack cosplayer as the one I photographed before in Oh No! Manga Cosplay Camp. Thanks to Ryan Romeo de Vera for letting me feature this!

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII: Zack Fair 02

Zack Fair was a late member of the paramilitary organization SOLDIER, the military wing of the mega-corporation Shinra. During the events that occurred in Crisis Core, he was revealed to have been Aerith Gainsborough’s first boyfriend, as well as a friend of Cloud Strife’s. Zack ultimately died protecting Cloud from Shinra's army after they had escaped from imprisonment and being the subjects of genetic experimentation.

Another amazing cosplayer from the Oh No! Manga Cosplay Camp 2012! I was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of male cosplayers at the event and they were very “in character” too!

Photography by me, and if you happen to know who he is, feel free to let me know so that I can tag and credit him properly!

EDIT: Thanks to Garland for commenting that the cosplayer is Louise Betita!

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII: Genesis Rhapsodos

A 1st-class SOLDIER who rebelled against Shinra, Genesis Rhapsodos went AWOL hoping to find a cure for his illness, degradation. He is an end result of Project G, an experiment involving a woman named Gillian was injected with Jenova cells before her cells were harvested and injected into Genesis when he was still a fetus. Genesis is considered a traitor to Shinra, but he is a close friend of Angeal Hewly’s as well as Sephiroth’s.

Although the contrast is pretty high on this photo, I liked the sinister effect that it gives to the cosplayer. Thanks again to Julia for sending this in!

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII: Aerith Gainsborough

When Aerith Gainsborough was 15-years-old, she helped her adopted mother earn a living by growing and selling flowers. She first met Zack Fair during his stay in Midgar and the two began to develop a romantic relationship. Unfortunately, Zack was killed after being held in a Mako chamber for four years in the Shinra Mansion basement.

Cosplayer Kanna Tears makes an excellent Aerith! Beautiful photography as well by Keith Louie. Thanks to Pyrahus for sharing this with us!

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII: Zack Fair

Protagonist to the prequel of Final Fantasy VII, Zack Fair is a 2nd Class SOLDIER who worked as a subordinate under his close friend and mentor, Angeal Hewley. He was one of the people assigned to accompany Sephiroth and two grunts, one of which being Cloud Strife, on a mission of Nibelheim to find the cause of a Mako reactor malfunction. He was the original owner of Cloud’s trademark weapon, the Buster Sword.

Very impressive looking Zack and with a detailed Buster Sword! Though I’m a little bit puzzled by the shoes, but that’s a minor detail. Thanks to Karen for sending this in!
