Final Fantasy XIII-2: The Heroes Wear Prada
Who saw this one coming? Fashion magazine Arena Homme+ brings you members of the Final Fantasy XIII-2 cast dressed in Prada.
Although the majority of critical reception wasn’t terrible, Final Fantasy XIII was widely reviled by consumers, and stood as a disappointment to many long time fans of the series - largely due to the shockingly linear gameplay experience. The direct sequel, Final Fantasy XIII-2, looked to fix this issue, but seemed to be received by many as, “too little, too late.”
According to Venture Beat, these images were created by Square Enix’s Visual Works studio in Japan for the April 12th issue of the fashion magazine, Arena Homme+, and will be part of a 12-page feature.
As these outfits are from the Prada Spring 2012 menswear collection, it’s a fairly interesting choice to outfit the Final Fantasy XIII heroine, Lightning, in one as well.
Either way, this stands as an interesting and rather unexpected foray into the world of material fashion, by both Square Enix and Arena Homme+ magazine.

Dariana a year agoI think this type of crossover is fascinating, particularly for popularizing ‘gaming’ (as it’s frequently vilified in mainstream culture). But, that said: FFXIII? Prada? /facepalm I’d actually be way more interested in designers taking their fashion cues from the FF franchise. The world would be a better place if hot guys walked around in SOLDIER uniforms. :-D

Mock Turtle a year ago“Final Fantasy XIII was widely reviled by consumers” It’s also the best- and fastest-selling Final Fantasy game of all time, which directly contradicts that statement. I’ll agree that there are people who hate it, but there are also people who love it, and will fight to the death defending it (in a manner of speaking). Same goes for XIII-2. The reason it gets such a bad rap is because the people who hate it are a lot louder than the people who love it. Just look at Mass Effect 3: a great game that has been ripped to shreds by people who whine whine whine, while the people who like it have been drowned out.
