after 700 years of trying diff set pieces and coming very close to being happy with my cosplay but not quite there
I've finally achieved the perfect zooey cosplay I've been aiming for since I started played the game 🥹 with Occult Crescent, they added this excellent skirt, and it was all I needed to finish it, i’m finally happy and satisfied that all the time and effort me and my buddy @dewpriism has paid off in such an amazing outfit
trying out a new Red Mage glamor! the pitch for this one is that I wanted an outfit with a bit heavier than the usual mage robes (because rdm usually has higher defense than other mages in older ff games), as well as something that played more into the sword Duelist aspect of the job, and I'm quite happy with this
as usual, huge ups to @dewpriism for the help, both in finding good top that worked for what i was going for, and finding a good leg armor option that would work with the jacket lol that was way more of a pain in the ass than I expected
I've been working on this character based on Zooey from granblue fantasy, and all of her outfits so far have been based on her ^o^ or well, at least the main ones anyway (also big shout outs to @dewpriism for the help in making most of them)

Original outfit (slight recreation because I can't remember which gloves or skirt I was using at the time, the skirt used to fit a lot better with the top but I've since been unable to find it on my glamour dresser)
This one was the very first one I made, when I was still playing paladin in ARR, and for how limited my knowledge of the game was (and for how ugly a lot of the pieces in ARR are), I'm still proud and found of this one, even tho it's been since retired and it's not quite as good as the later ones
Dark knight outfit
This one was after I started getting more used to the game (and realized that gatherer/crafter items could be used by any class in the game), it's a bit darker than I wanted it to be, but it still looks cute imo (and fits a dark knight :V), the only part I didn't really like were the leg guard things, but I liked the shoes too much to put on greaves or boots, and sadly this game is extremely limited when it comes to skirts 😭
this also has the distinction of being the set I used the most of since I played through HW with it and used through the vast majority of my stay in free trial, only switching to the next one when I decided to play bard
Bard/gunbreaker outfit
Now THIS is the one that I feel like has been the most quintessential outfit so far ✨ it's the closest one I've had to Zooey's actual outfit (with the only downside being the fact it has sleeves), my friend did an amazing with the boots especially, since despite the fact they're made out of leather, the colors still makes it look like they're greaves without looking super clunky and heavy like in my first outfit
It's both by far the best one I've had thus far and extremely faithful to what Zooey outfits I had in mind when I started playing, while still having its own personality
Red mage outfit
This one is by far the most out of the rails one so far lol red mage doesn't really fit Zooey's aesthetic, but it's an aesthetic I, as the player, really liked, so I asked my friend to see if they could at least make a color scheme that would fit Zooey, and they knocked it out of the park once again, and once again doing a banger job of making leather boots look metalic~
While this originally was just the pvp version of the level 70 red mage set, I ended up adding the skirt once I realized how well it went with the rest of the set.
And that's it for now ^o^ overall I'm proud of these, and really happy with the results, despite none of them being 1-1 to Zooey's outfit, I still really like them, and the small differences that detract from the likeness to gbf Zooey ends up giving the outfits a bit more personality while still being reasonably close to what I perceive as her aesthetic. This is far from finished as each new expansion opens up more possibilities and chances to try out other outfits based on the new pieces I come across
Also, it's been a while since I updated these, but I got a new WoLtfit! (Tyvm once again to @dewpriism for the help, I keep getting overwhelmed by the amount of options i have and being incapable of making outfits without their help)
This one is more of a simple one, just so I have a low level outfit for whenever I wanna play a new class but their level is too low for whatever main glamor I'm using~
since Zooey comes from frontier lands, I felt like a warm set that also functioned for purposes of wandering and travel would work, and my friend delivered 🙏 it's simple, cute and functional, especially fitting for any arr classes I might pick that start at level 1
