Final Fantasy XIII-2 x Prada in bizarre crossover promotion

We've seen FINAL FANTASY x Assassin's Creed. We've seen FINAL FANTASY x Mass Effect. And now we have... FINAL FANTASY x Prada? Wait a minute...

In celebration of FINAL FANTASY's 25th anniversary this year, Square Enix has teamed up with Arena Homme+ to showcase their characters in the magazine's upcoming Spring/Summer 2012 collection.

“The FINAL FANTASY series is known for its creativity and innovation; so working with Prada, a renowned fashion house with such beautiful clothingwas a very exciting opportunity. The images we have been able to create together are vibrant and unique,” said Yoshinori Kitase, producer of FINAL FANTASY XIII-2.

The CGI (computer generated imagery) transformation was a task that was undertaken by Square Enix’s world leading Visual Works studio in Japan, working alongside the FINAL FANTASY character designers. The 12-page feature includes key looks from Prada's Spring/Summer ‘12 men's collection, regarded by many as one the best of the season, with key pieces including printed silk shirts and sharp modern suiting.

The issue in question goes on sale April 12th. You can see an example of Sazh below and the rest including Lightning, Noel and Hope over in the Media Vault.
