AKB48 Idol Designs Final Fantasy XIII-2 Costume For Serah

Yuko Oshima isn’t just a Final Fantasy XIII-2 judge, she’s also a costume designer. Square Enix asked the AKB48 idol to design two costumes for Serah and her moogle. Starting on November 15, fans will be able to vote on which one makes it into the game as downloadable content on the Judge13 page.

Oshima calls this first outfit "exposure and defense." When designing this costume she wondered is it really possible for Final Fantasy female characters to fight with so much showing. Oshima thought adding pointed shoes and a shield would make Serah ready for a fight.

The second costume has a red riding hood motif. Oshima thought the idea of mixing red and white together defines a character transitioning into an adult.
