Clearly, the destruction and chaos on Gran Pulse and Cocoon isn't enough to stop the plucky heroes of Final Fantasy XIII from taking some time out to fashion Prada's 2012 Spring/Summer men's collection in Arena Homme+ magazine. Because hey, you've gotta look your best when facing mountain-sized demons. Dapper, even.Lightning, Noel, Snow, Sazh and Hope are all "styled for action as they step out of their usual outfits and into Prada," reads the Square Enix
press release here. As you can see from the pictures included in this story, you can see just how carefree our usually über-serious JRPG protagonists can really be when they're not saving the world.
Here's a bit you might be interested in, regarding the actual work that went into the CG. "The CGI (computer generated imagery) transformation was a task that was undertaken by Square Enix’s world leading Visual Works studio in Japan, working alongside the FINAL FANTASY character designers. The 12 page feature includes key looks from Prada's S/S12 men's collection, regarded by many as one the best of the season, with key pieces including printed silk shirts and sharp modern suiting."
Personally, I want what Sazh is wearing. It will allow me to pose quite nonchalantly with a tiny Chocobo in my hand too. I need that in my daily life.
