ah damn, forgot the C'MON!

Toasticus

Right, the guy in the $3,400 suit cares about cosplay!

Sh-sh-shsh-shshsh-sh-shsh-sh...

Toasticus

Totally agree. If the quality and stylishness warrant the price, so be it. My favorite brand is Diesel and it's fantastic. f@Augustburnsred:

GameCasa

Too bad for people who had there high school senior graduation party already. :)

zkotaku

That looks pretty nice. I'd buy it if it were affordable.

Raziel66

That is a really boring outfit. I've got more exciting ensembles I could make with the current contents of my closet. Where are the items worth seeing!

Morphie

I like it personally, seems smart and quite casual and with the £ to $ exchange rate $240 isn't that badly priced.

I like the canned potions in the link though.

Emiat

Those aren't Final Fantasy clothes. There aren't enough random zippers, and it doesn't look like it includes a half vest at all.

yeah write

At the Square Enix warehouse, you're gonna like the way you look. I guarantee it.

bigman88zz

Uh, yeah. I would buy this if my credit had not already reached it's limit break. Hah!

RatMessiah

Next thing you know Square's emperor in Final Fantasy XV will be running for emperor IRL...

Absent Blue

I hope they are well stocked with XXXL.

gadjet

..how do i know itll still fit me well when the game comes out in 2012? that's too much planning for me.

TheIrishNinja

Roen has stupid clothes, they look like something a rich pedophile would have...

ultimate920

Nothing is more manly than having Japanese heros that look like women on your Tux.

adragonfang18

@Erwin: Rule 34.

Woodwater

LOLWUT?

Jelly_Jiggler

...real world items worn by in-game characters - perfect for the prom!
Jesus, I read "porn." Man, is this what the internet does to you? I mean, knowing porn, I'm sure it will appear somewhere near an exposed breast or other, but what a jump to make. I'm gonna go do something wholesome now.

Erwin

I wouldn't mind paying that much to look sharp. I would wear it for two weeks straight but hell it looks worth it.

Augustburnsred

And I heard somewhere in the range of $3k for a decent suit from those guys. I'm sure the executive Final Fantasy fanboy market is frothing at the mouth, though.

Datheron

I wanna be Japanese.

archibaldleech

240?! I wonder if that's in actual american $ or in gil.

akumaserge

way to know your demographic

gadjet

Cosplay has become subtle...

trogam

What kind of nerd can afford this shit? Certainly not me, unfortunately.

Crosswayboy

+2 to spiffyness

jaws3people0

For the hardcorest of the hardcore businessmen!

D Mitsuki

This doesn't shock me at all, Nomura has seemed pretty obsessed with the fashion of his characters for a while. This feels like a natural step.

yomachaser

Wow, that´s a really snazzy looking suit.

Phantasos

I don't believe they come in xbox size. Score one for PS3!

Baka_Survivor

@Emiat:

No, they were saying a TANK TOP from this fashion house costs $240.. other folk were saying their (they being Roen) suits are $3k+.

bainelaker

Did Square choose Roen on purpose because it's an acronym of Reno?

PotoinMan

Now the Turks have to let me in!

hagridore

@bainelaker: Don't surprise me seeing the suit not been the $240 item, I thought it was a bit too low priced for the suit.

Emiat

You're gonna like the way you look. I guarantee it.

uveridiot

looks good. but expensive. ill get one!

underbaker

I agree with Urutapu, this suit is very plain, it doesn't look like someone should pay over 3Gs for it. I'll admit that I don't look at suits in pictures very often, but the fabric of the jacket just looks crappy. You can make suits like this with individual items you can buy at an outlet store, no need to spend a great deal of money on it. If you want to buy a real name brand to impress your friends/coworkers, buy Armani, buy Hugo Boss, buy Zegna, not this.

prozacjack

Didn't Capcom try something like this with Resident Evil 3?

I vaguely remember seeing an article a while back about Capcom releasing an "officially lisenced" outfit as worn by Leon Kennedy.

I could be wrong.

Diddy_Mao

I think the worst part is that there's nothing particularly remarkable about that suit.

urutapu

WILL THE SPINOFFS NEVER END?!?!

Placentasaurus

@PotoinMan: The world doesn't revolve around FFVII. Its an old game. With a movie. And a spin off game. Thats it.

Nets_Fan

Where's my SeeD dress uniform then?

Odin

So uh... is there a point ot this?

Do enough people buy them to justify selling them... and do the people who do even pull it off?

I mean maybe they sell them to PMCs who have style.

I'd work for them if they had a decent rate of survival.

SaanZ

I checked the brands official site, and I wasn't impressed. :/

.em.

$240 is fine. I just found my new interview clothing.

Ryodestined

i'll buy it if i can afford it.. damn nice..

jsc_tidus

Waiting on some Turks suits then im game.

Project Thanatos

@Ryodestined: And I reiterated: They're saying a Roen tanktop is $240. The suit? Try three grand.

urutapu

i like this. this assumes that gamers arent geeks who fail at life. by merely offering this, it shows that squenix assumes gamers are dorks (at least japanese gamers)

maraxusofk

Cosplay that is viable in a high-end social scene
I approve

Lelouch

now thats some expensive cosplay!!!

limitt_45

no middrift? do not want.

kyle

That doesn't look so good. :\

physical

ooo I want! I have always wanted to wear cosplay stuff out randomly in public that didn't scream "HEY IM A COSPLAY NERD!!! LOOK AT ME!!!!!"

:3 I would totally buy some nice cosplay ff versus XIII dresses and stuff

hrabbit

It looks like a plain black shirt pretty much. I don't see the point in having that put on a stand.

Llost

$240 = about £130. I've spent far more on a suit than that. I may just get one of these if the quality is nice.

UkGuru

Soon to be a laywer here !! That is one spiffy suit and even if it wasnt in-game, I'd be buying one, just because its so suave

Nelo-Risi

@UkGuru: Learn to read others comments. $240 is the price of a god damned TANK TOP!

EvilMetsFan

@gadjet: ZOMG, Roen is ruining Square Enix. /sarc

I might want.

xShinigamiEyesx

:) Watching nerds/guys get their first taste of designer clothing prices never gets old.

accela

The best thing ever would be if they started to release Vaan's outfit, I would die laughing if i saw a man walking around the cities wearing that..

Desertwolf

black on black with black accents. how boring.

Obviously, it needs some belts and zippers to really spice it up.

BossMonk

This looks like the suit that the councilly-people in the leaked Versus trailer were wearing.

But then again... I'm no suit expert, never was.

Greenstuff-Alex

Come on, you can get an entry level Bespoke suit for the price of the Roen suits. Custom fit, custom fabric (much higher grade wools, and possible cashmere blends,) and custom overall aesthetic--it boggles the mind why anyone would purchase one of the Roen suits, unless they were some demented business fanboy.

When you people start to get into formal wear, you'll realize just how lame the Roen suits are very quickly. Believe it or not, this suit would look quite goofy in a sea of more conservative suits that the majority of men wear.

mayonnaise

Oh. So, what next, underwear?

...

Oh god I just realized i'd kill for chocobo boxers.

damn.

PsyComa

PIMP.....I'd rock it

yfuzo

Hurrah for corporate synergy. I'm thinking
more than a few would-be cosplayers will go totally bankrupt for these in the near future. Who knows? They may even be great suits.

And I think the best judge of a suit is to see an actual person wear one. A good suit is light years ahead of a bad one, but half the time you need to actually see someone wearing it to really have its merits come through. And a good suit is easily in the 3 grand range. Hard to gauge from just a picture though.
