Hey there, Final Fantasy Wikians. It's Doug from Wikia's Community Development Team again. I know many of you have seen me around and about the wiki this past month organizing a wide variety of events. The collaboration between Wikia and the Final Fantasy Wiki has been absolutely stellar lately, and I foremost want to thank everyone who has helped make these past few projects possible. I stop by today to simply poll the community about the interest in another possible project. There is a Wikia Program called Closet Confidential that normally showcases various outfits and clothing of characters in games and entertainment. CC's often are community events that allow users to describe/create their own custom and personal outfit within that media's particular universe. With Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and the upcoming English release of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, Wikia is curious about whether the community would be interested in a Closet Confidential event around the use of Dress spheres/Garbs, since both games feature clothing pretty heavily. The event could feature anything along the lines of a poll tournament asking what your favorite dress sphere/garb across XII-3 and X-2 is. Perhaps an event where the community can create their own personal dress sphere. The approach can be art-focused or more ability-battle focused. So users could either describe in words or create an art piece about how the dress sphere/garb would look, or instead focus on the attached abilities and move-list of equipping this custom dress sphere/garb. There are only a few ideas that could be utilized. But I'd like to poll those out there about a few things:
All responses are welcome and your thoughts are appreciated. As a closer, I'd like to let everyone that any work related to a project like this will primarily be taken care of by me, so other than a few organizational decisions, you all won't have to worry about working on anything! You can always suggest to help me out if interested :) Thanks for reading, everyone! Have a good day/night. | |||
So... is the community interested in this project? JC Holy Knight (talk) 00:59, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
I'd be interested in a poll at the very least. While I think a fanart contest would be cool, I don't think we have enough fanartists on the Wiki to make that viable.
Final Fantasy also has many recurring outfits and clothing motifs outside Lightning Returns and X-2, so there's that we could use as well. | |||

Stopping in with an update, everyone. We've decided to host this event over on the Fashion Wikia. The event will be considered a 'Best Dressed' sort of contest between the major characters of all Final Fantasy games. Part 1 of the event will involve users writing comments of their character nominations. They can be the character's original/reworked/alternate costumes. After we get a sizable amount of replies, we'll have a follow up poll where users will vote on the most nominated for the 'Best Dressed' title. We were going to host it on a blog Fashion Wikia, but we can move it here if enough people are okay with the idea (but with blogs disabled on the FF Wiki, I can understand keeping them that way). Regardless, we'd love to have members of the community pitch their nominations and vote in the final round. Thanks so much! | |||
