The main story of Final Fantasy VII surrounds mysterious SOLDIER Cloud Strife, but the farther into the story players delve, the more layers of backstory and illusion are revealed. In the spin-off of FFVII, we meet Zack Fair. We finally see true glimpses into the life of the SOLDIER elites and see how the FFVII story came to take place. The game was a surprisingly deep and emotional glimpse into this beautiful world.
To celebrate the release of the Reunion story, well-renowned cosplayer Zackt brought together a powerhouse team of cosplayers. Taking on the role of his cosplay persona’s namesake, Zackt featured many of the main characters of the original FFVII: Crisis Core. Teaming up with some stunning photography, these images are absolutely gorgeous. Looking at them feels like looking at stills from the game. It’s absolutely shocking how good these images are, and we are pleased to feature them here on BoLS! Here is a bit more about the inspiration for this photo set, we hope you enjoy these AND the game!
Crisis Core: FFVII Reunion officially releases today! In celebration, we are releasing the FULL photoset of our Crisis Core group. This project is a dream come true for me because as you all know, this is the game that got me into FFVII as a whole and what made me want to cosplay. It’s a full circle experience for me living the story and getting to fulfill this big project with dear friends who are just as enthusiastic about this as I am . We did our uttermost best to recreate scenes from the game. We hope you guys enjoy this as much as we did bringing this story-driven photoshoot to life.
