A married couple takes to social media to share their cosplays of Tidus and Yuna, the main protagonists of Final Fantasy 10, as the pair recreate an iconic moment from the game. The Final Fantasy 10 fans were complimented by their peers for their handiwork and attention to detail with how the cosplay photo was handled. In Final Fantasy 10, Tidus is dragged from his life as a rising Blitzball star in Zanarkand to the land of Spira, where its denizens are at the mercy of the monstrous Sin. After Tidus washes up on the shores of Besaid, he meets the fledgling Summoner Yuna and tags along with her band of Guardians on her pilgrimage to defeat Sin. As the group travels north to the ruins of Zanarkand, Tidus and Yuna form a bond that blossoms into romance. The romance comes full circle during the party’s return to Macalania Woods, as Tidus and Yuna share an underwater date and solidify their status as one of the Final Fantasy franchise’s best pairs.

While individual cosplays of Yuna and Tidus remain popular with Final Fantasy fans, a couple recreated the famous underwater date via their cosplays. On the Final Fantasy subreddit, a Reddit user named Reikage shared his cosplay of Tidus alongside his wife’s cosplay of Yuna. The pair stood in waist-deep water during their photoshoot, which was taken and edited by a photographer known as RainGodSeiji on social media. Reikage’s Tidus cosplay included his Blitzball uniform, an earring with the Zanarkand Abes’ logo, and a necklace. The Yuna cosplay worn by Reikage’s wife showed off her iconic Summoner’s attire, which consisted of a purple dress and white top, with a yellow bow across the middle, and a blue strand of hair attached to her right earring. The background was blurred and altered to simulate the blue tones of Macalania Woods.
