Final Fantasy XIII-2 has Yuko Oshima costume
AKB48 member designs two costumes for Serah.
by [@salromano] at 08:35 AM EDT, November 10, 2011 .

Yuko Oshima, part of Japanese female idol group AKB48, is not only the face of marketing for Square-Enix’s Final Fantasy XIII-2. She’s designing a downloadable costume for Serah, too.

The red costume was made in the theme of Little Red Riding Hood. The black costume was made in the theme of “Exposure and Defense.” According to Oshima-san, she attached small shields to Serah’s body because sometimes she wonders if Final Fantasy characters are able to properly defend themselves with such little armor.

Only one of these designs will make it as downloadable content. Square Enix will open voting at their Judge13 website soon. Commercials promoting the costumes will hit Japanese airwaves starting November 15.

    i like the RRH one. although it may be a bit to similar to velvet’s attire in odin sphere… i can imagine that it would look great on serah though.,

    I like both, as they both look better than the crap she’s wearing now. Though the one on the left looks more like something Lightning would wear.

    She looks yummy in the RRH outfit, BUT it really really REALLY sticks out from the rest of the world and the other character outfits, the denim outfit manages to stay in line with the other character outfits.

    Plus as others pointed out, it draws somewhat from Lightining’s own attire in the previous game, which is always a plus in my book.
