MoogleViper Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Well there are two cufflinks that I'm torn between. Triforce ones and Final Fantasy ones. I was wondering which ones you'd prefer. Personally I think the Triforce ones will be able to still pass as normal/fashionable cufflinks despite them being video gamed themed, whereas the FF ones wouldn't. But I much prefer Final Fantasy to Zelda. Triforce ones are $18 + $3 p+p, FF are $22 + $4.75 p+p. So what do you people think? Don't just say Zelda ones because you hate FF, because it's me that's getting them not you, and I like FF.
Retro_Link Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Looks wise I don't like the FF at all tbh! I think it looks a bit tacky just being the game box. And especially considering the price of them both, I'd say get the Zelda ones.
DuD Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I prefer the triforce ones. As Retro said, the FF look a bit tacky and: Personally I think the Triforce ones will be able to still pass as normal/fashionable cufflinks despite them being video gamed themed, whereas the FF ones wouldn't.
Pyxis Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I don't like either. The FF ones look super tacky and the Zelda ones are a bad shape and colour. I really can't decide. ok, the FF ones.
Jon Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 It has to be Final Fantasy man, they're just awesome.
EEVILMURRAY Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Is the Final Fantasy picture the actual pair, or do they come as the same image on each one? Cufflinks have to match dammit. Either way it's no different than having a Muse album cover on a cufflink: Shit. Plus you'll probably have to explain their existence over and over again. You said it yourself, the Triforce ones not only look like normal pr0 cufflinks, but are also an "in joke" for those who know what they really are and can appreciate them more. I'd daresay a Final Fantasy nerd [assuming one would be invited to a gathering where cufflinks would be considered wearing] would see those and say "Christ that's sad" the Zelda ones are a bad shape and colour. How so?
D_prOdigy Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I prefer the Triforce ones. They're just very simple but iconic enough to be recognisable. I'm just not a fan of the fact they've basically shrunk box arts down to make it clear that it's Final Fantasy.
Cube Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Triforce ones. The use of boxes on the FF ones is stupid.
Wesley Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 They're both pretty sweet. But they have to match man.
MoogleViper Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 They do have these Triforce ones, which I like the look of, but the original triforce is gold.
Daft Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I don't like FF but those cufflinks are ace. Sod the Zelda ones. They're as dull as dish water.
Sheikah Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 It's a shame that those FF cufflinks cover VII and IX...and not VIII. I would say that the FF cufflinks are better, even though it's American boxart. It would be cool if they just had the symbols for the games (ie. the comet and crystal) on white backgrounds.
chairdriver Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 The FF ones are really cool. I want them (but I'd prefer the UK covers...)

As Retro said, the FF look a bit tacky and: Triforce ones. The use of boxes on the FF ones is stupid. I agree with all of the above comments. It's a no-contest, in my opinion. The use of the boxart just seems pretty cheap and I don't think they would look great at all as cufflinks. It really is up to you, but I would go for the Triforce ones. As someone else said too, it looks just like a regular stylish cufflink, but it has an in-joke.
Coolness Bears Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I'm not really a fan of either. :p Personally I'd go with these cufflinks!
Tellyn Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 The FF boxart ones are incredibly tacky. The Triforce ones are more subtle, yet still videogame-related, and awesome.
Haden Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Triforce ones for me it would be good as zelda fans might be like hey are those triforces and people who would make fun of videogames might not be so sure what they were as they don't look to shabby to the eye. The Final Fantasy pair on the other are just horridly designed I mean someone has literally slapped PS1 cover art onto cufflinks and ultra geeky do not choose them.
EEVILMURRAY Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I'm not really a fan of either. :p Personally I'd go with these cufflinks! Aaaww shit, where are they from?
Molly Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.
EEVILMURRAY Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Does this ring any bells? :p I thought it was the Simpsons but didn't want to say.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 The golden Triforce ones for me, without a doubt, even if you don't consider the fact that I'm more of a Zelda fan than FF fan. The boxart thing doesn't really work for me ... it doesn't really look good, just a little silly. The Triforces, on the other hand, look amazing in my opinion. It's a beautiful, iconic symbol that works both as a handsome cufflink and an awesome reference. In fact, I want such a pair for my tux. I want a pair now, dammit!
