Reddit user GrinitD sent his mother a picture of Mireille Dudley, Kyrie’s grandmother, because he thought she looked like her. The response GrinitD got from his mom was that she was going to try and match theSector 5Slums NPC’s look. GrinitD shared the resulting image, and the resemblance is stunning. GrinitD was entirely right in that his mom looked exactly like Mireille, and the cosplay is spot on. The most impressive thing about it is that she didn’t go shopping for the look; it was all from her own closet.
Fans have commented that she fits the character perfectly, and even makes the outfit look better in some areas, such as the goggles. Some fans are also saying she deserves to be seen as “legendary” like theSkyrimandAnimal Crossing-playing grandmas, which GrinitD has done his part to pass on the compliments.
Even if the mother doesn’t play any video games herself, the story is rather sweet in that she saw a photo her son sent thinking of her and decided to go as far as even dress up as the character pictured. It probably certainly helps that theFinal Fantasy 7 Remakecharactershared her fashion sense it seems, but it’s still a wonderful exchange between mother and son.
