Summary
ADestiny 2player recently brought the fan-favoriteFinal Fantasy 9mage Vivi Ornitier into the game for the Festival of the Lost event. Every year around Halloween,Destiny 2players gather at the Tower to celebrate Eva Levante’s return by collecting candy and unlocking special items in festive quests. In true Halloween fashion, players sometimes dress their avatars up in costumes while participating in the Festival of the Lost, and the connected quests require them to equip a special mask provided by Eva.
Destiny 2’s Festival of the Lost 2024 event started on October 29 and will run until November 19. During the short time that this year’s Festival has been underway, talented players have gotten into the Halloween spirit by customizing their in-game characters to look likeIt’s demonic clown Pennywise, a “Runner” fromMarathon, and even a PlayStation Move controller among the many gaming and pop culture characters.
A Reddit user by the handle of Actual_Life_303 recently joined in on the costumed fun by theming theirDestiny 2Titan afterVivi fromFinal Fantasy 9and sharing their creation on r/DestinyFashion. While this version of the diminutive Black Mage is taller and more armor-like than the actual Vivi, Actual_Life_303’s rendition retains his signature look through a pointy wizard’s hat, a mask that closely resembles Vivi’s Jawa-like face, and a blue and grey outfit. As some in the comment section have pointed out,Destiny 2doesn’t have a staff weapon that matches Vivi’s default Mage Staff, meaning that Actual_Life_303 had to give their version a gun instead.
