Kingdom Hearts Cosplay: Yuna, Rikku and Paine

Cosplay the Gullwings' KH2 Costumes!

Yuna, Rikku, Paine-- what happened to you!?

The Gullwings' costumes in Kingdom Hearts 2 are simpler than their FFX-2 outfits, and they're really cute. But there aren't many screenshots of them around, so it's hard to cosplay them, right?

This should help. I've got some screencaps of details so you can design your YuRiPa costumes. Plus, I'll point to a few adventurous cosplayers who have already tackled the Kingdom Hearts pixie versions of our old friends from Final Fantasy X-2.

Legal stuff: Kingdom Hearts Yuna, Rikku and Pane are © Square-Enix, which allows amateur fan cosplay, as long as it's not being used to create for-profit movies using their characters. Fair enough!

Kingdom Hearts Spoilers - The Gullwings' final scene with Sora

Yuna, Rikku and Paine in Kingdom Hearts 2

So, our heroes from Final Fantasy X-2 are back as bite-sized pixies and treasure hunters. Since Kingdom Hearts was aimed at a younger audience, the girls have covered up a bit and are more cutesy than skimpy. (Hit spacebar to pause.)

Yuna Kingdom Hearts 2 Reference Screenshots

To help with Gullwings costume design

Yuna Gullwings Kingdom Hearts 2 ModelOpen up a Yuna Final Fantasy X-2 model for comparison (or go to my Gunner Yuna reference screenshots.)

In KH2, the Zanarkand Abes symbol across Yuna's chest is so simplified it almost looks like a Mickey Mouse head (probably no accident). Her blue shorts are longer than in FFX-2, and slightly ruffled. She's got a blue drawstring for her top, with a bow and laces hanging in front. There's a blue fringe tied to her half-skirt's waistband over the right hip. She's lost the pouch on her left hip. And of course she's got wee wings tied to the end of her long braid.

Note: This model (right) is from game data, but it appears to have a holstered gun which is NOT visible in the game. I can't explain what it's doing there. O.o

Here's Yuna's Kingdom Hearts 2 Concept Art plus some screenshots to help pin down costume details. Click thumbnails to enlarge:

Rikku Kingdom Hearts 2 Reference Screenshots

The Gullwings' chief instigator of mischief

Rikku Kingdom Hearts Model RipRather more modest than Rikku's thief dressphere in Final Fantasy X-2, Kingdom Hearts' Rikku is frighteningly cute.

At right is Zerox's Rikku model rip. I've cleaned up some rendering glitches (the skirt) and flipped it horizontally to match in-game Rikku.

So, basically: yellow bows on both hips, scarf, detatched cream-colored sleeves with the zigzag dags that are all over KH, orange dagged shorts, white thigh-high socks (note the band at top), and floppy cartoon shoe versions of Rikku's thief shoes in FFX-2. She's wearing at least one dangly earring.

Here's a few in-game screencaps plus Kingdom Hearts 2 Concept Art for Rikku:

Paine Kingdom Hearts 2 Reference Screenshots

Paine the Goth Fairy?!

Paine Kingdom Hearts 2 ModelAgain, Paine's Kingdom Hearts II costume is much simplified from her FFX-2 Paine Model. At right, I've cleaned up and flipped Zerox's Paine Model to match her in-game render.

The KH2 model adds a black cami with red straps underneath, and slings her overwrap over her left shoulder. Belts and boots are much simplified, but basically the same as in FFX-2.

Here's a few in-game screencaps to show Paine's back and sides, plus Kingdom Hearts 2 Concept Art:
