Description
Unfortunately, with the awkward size of the arm pieces, he can pretty much only do this pose, lol. We tried to come up with some new things, but they are just too long. So apologies for the repetitive poses! I still think this is the best photo of his costume yet. I love the colors.Model is

As awkward as it would be with the poses, I don't think I've ever seen anyone try and be that legit with it.
wow, way too awesome.

Thank you! Unfortunately, not many people cosplay Amarant in general.
But we thought it just wouldn't look right without his huge arms! Kei (model) is too thin so he needed the arm pieces, haha. We really wanted to try and do him justice to make up for his lack of fan representation.

totally, I've only seen a few, and most of them are halfway decent, but man.
This is definitely the best representation I have ever seen. c:

I don't think I've ever seen anyone attempt this, AWESOME. Love the dreads, they're fleece, yeah?
Been way too long since I played this game.

Thanks! It's roving wool stuffed into panty hose and sent through the washer.
I replayed it late last year, which is what spawned the inspiration to make these costumes, lol. I thought for sure I wouldn't like the game as much after several years but if anything, replaying it made me like it even more. If you get the time, you should definitely revisit it.

That is really clever. Gives them that sort of uneven, bunched look that real dreads have.
Out of all the Final Fantasy games, I remember that one most fondly. I think I'll have to.

I can't take credit for the idea, but I agree that it worked out really well. Although I wish I could have sewn them onto the wig cap better.
I haven't played all of them yet (working on it!) but I agree when some people say that IX is what a Final Fantasy game should be like.

Amarant is definitely under-cosplayed. For that reason, decided to cosplay Amarant instead of Steiner. I have only ever seen 2 other Amarant cosplays, none in person. D:

Oh snap!!! I loved this guy in ff9, even though he was quiet he was still pretty bad arse~!!! Awesome! Very work job all of you. You can see the hard work you put into it and you can note the model had fun.

It was definitely an interesting experience making this costume, and even though it's uncomfortable to wear, enjoys doing it. He's a trooper.

It looks Awesome and it is even cooler he was a trooper X3. Got to love stubborn cosplayers who work with you.

Nice one. I rarely used Amarant though... hmmm. Yeah. The only time he was ever really useful to me was when you had to go to the anti-magic place. His throw ability made quick work of the boss.

Yeah, I rarely used him too. I don't really like him much (personality-wise and fighting-wise). He's like the one IX character that is FLAT! BUT my boyfriend fit the body type for Amarant more than any other character, so he wanted to cosplay him.

It's a good cosplay. I have a rule that people shouldn't cosplay characters and the like they can't pull off. He pulled it off.
And yeah. FFIX was my favorite FF game, and Amarant was my least favorite out of the bunch for pretty much the same reasons you gave.

Glad you approve! While I don't really care whether or not people cosplay characters they don't fit, it's way awesome when the people do fit the character, and my boyfriend feels that way too.
Amarant really didn't get enough development in the game, which is why it always surprises me when I hear people say "He was my favorite!"
