FFVII 25th Anniversary Retrospective Gallery
Today is the 25th anniversary of the 1997 release of Final Fantasy VII, arguably the most popular game in the RPG franchise (not counting the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV). So far it is the only one in the franchise to get remade using modern technology and storytelling, as Final Fantasy VII Remake, released in 2020.
You may remember that we’ve already done a FF7 retrospective gallery back in March 2020 when the first playable demo of remastered version of the game came out. That was also the first retrospective gallery I posted, back when it finally became clear that we wouldn’t be able to get a constant flow of new cosplay content, because the pandemic was causing conventions to cancel for what at the time seemed like a few months. In 48 days, it will be two years since that first retrospective cosplay gallery.
So once again, enjoy this look back at cosplays of Tifa, Cloud, Barrett, Aerith, Cid and more. In some of the group shots there may be Final Fantasy characters from other games, but I tried to stick with just those from FF7, in either version.
Cosplayers in this gallery include charlottegracepsychic, tinysithassassin, materiajunkee, sabi__cat, PaperGauntlet, crystaltifa, foreveryoloing, jessicaaaam10, Moonie Warrior Cosplay, hjlovecraft, atkpwr, Everyone’s Hero Cosplay, Stephanie Stone Cosplay, awesomejaymee, Chocobobutt, Byron D. Zero, Petry Cosplays, zimmermanjoe21, Ryosuke91k Cosplay, honeychan.cos, justins_sketches, assassinsfate, and many more.
We now use Smugmug to present cosplay photo galleries and will post all photos there, with a link to each gallery in its own gallery article. This will allow us to give you higher resolution images to download — still for free.
