One of the many great things about Final Fantasy 7 Remake is its revitalization of characters from the original game. Jessie Rasberry is one such character who got the Final Fantasy 7 Remake treatment, with one fan showing off their stellar cosplay of her.
Jessie Rasberry is a member of the revolutionary group known as Avalanche, and one of the main characters players interact with in Remake. Although she appears in the original Final Fantasy 7, her portrayal in Remake by Erica Lindbeck instantly breathed new life into the character, after only being characterized through text before. Her look is iconic, wearing a bold red bandana with long brown hair, a silver chest piece and pauldrons, and green capris. Beyond Jessie, the game’s other leading females Tifa and Aerith are also very popular to cosplay as well.

They nail all of Jessie’s mentioned key design traits, from the silver armor plates to the red bandana and hair styling. Furthermore, Aly’s stance and pose exude the bubbly, personable spirit that many fans fell in love with Jessie for while playing Remake. A key distinction from another recent Final Fantasy 7 Remake Jessie cosplay is that Aly appears to have just styled their hair as opposed to using a wig, providing a different, homely quality to the interpretation.

In addition to Jessie, Aly has cosplayed some of Final Fantasy’s other leading ladies. They must be a fan of Aerith Gainsborough because (besides their Reddit username), they have cosplays of Aerith in her traditional clothes as well as her Don Corneo attire. Another lady they cosplay is Final Fantasy 8’s Rinoa Heartilly, a game and character that are both grossly underrepresented other than some fantastic Ultimecia cosplay. Other characters that Aly has cosplayed include Link from The Legend of Zelda and Lara Croft from Tomb Raider.
Fans in the comments have given Aly a ton of love for their interpretation of Jessie. One fan pointed out Aly’s smile, it being one of the greatest indicators of Jessie’s personality. Others are clamoring to see Aly’s Jessie alongside cosplays of Biggs and Wedge, Jessie’s closest companions from the game. As shown with cosplays of Cloud and Red XIII from Final Fantasy 7, they only get better as more characters appear.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake is available now for PS4 and PS5.
