Part 119: Cloche's Costumes




Gallery: Cloche's Art





This is Cloche's normal clothes. It's noted in-game as being incredibly complicated to put on and take off. It's a sort of odd mix of short parts and long parts, but does manage to by far show the least skin of the three heroines.



Oldmodern Style: This is the costume Cloche wore as the uniform at the Grand Bell Café. It's got a very traditional feel to it. This personality was noted as 'Courage' in the Cosmosphere. It's the part of Cloche that struggled to make her own thoughts heard up against the wishes of others.



Metamarole Model: This is the school uniform Cloche wore in the Cosmosphere. It wouldn't be an AT game without things like this I guess. It was noted as 'Possibility' in the Cosmosphere. It's the part of Cloche that felt stifled by her role in life and wished to be able to do other things.



Summer Love: This is the short yukata worn to the festival in the Cosmosphere. I understand these are a real thing. It was noted as 'Warmth' in the Cosmosphere. It's the part of Cloche that is afraid of getting close to others but at the same time wishes for such closeness.



Victim Pain: This is the bondage outfit worn by Cloche in the Cosmosphere. What do you say about this? It's pointed out that it's nearly impossible to move in, there's no visibility, and it's just in general messed up. It was noted as 'Commitment' in the Cosmosphere. It's the part of Cloche that no longer wishes to have her obligations. Before her level is destroyed, it really does seem like we're making progress on that front.



Pretty Viole: This is the superhero outfit worn by Cloche in many venues. It's the counterpart to Luca's similar outfit, but in Cloche's color scheme. It's noted in the Cosmosphere as 'Loyalty'. This is the part of Cloche that doesn't trust others, so much so that the only way to resolve her problem was to move closer to the 'source'.



Armageddon: This is the demon outfit worn by Cloche in the Cosmosphere. It's definitely her most over the top outfit. There's actually a lot of portions that are sort of like 'mirror darkly' versions of her regular outfit, like the demon wings. It's noted in the Cosmosphere as 'Honesty'. This is the part of Cloche that doesn't want to have to hide how she feels any more, yet at the same time she's not being entirely honest to herself about her own feelings.



Fluffuria: This is the sleep outfit also worn in the Cosmosphere. The Gergo slippers are the best little touch, and they're easy to miss. It's noted in the Cosmosphere as 'Love'. This is the part of Cloche that longs for her missing family, and who desires deep personal connections. At the same time, she fears the pain of remembrance.



Whiteris: This is the dress from the Cosmosphere. I really like this one, it's got a lot of elegance to it. This is Cloche's 'Self', her true personality.



Pippipien: This is the Pippen suit from Frelia's Cosmosphere. It's one of the strangest costumes in the whole game by far. It works because Cloche loves cute things like Pippens in principle, but in practice wearing this really pisses her off.



Bath Towel: It's a bath towel. This is only seen in the Dualstall scenes.

Bonus:



This is the bonus art from the artbook for Cloche. I don't even know, but I'd be remiss not to include it. Not as good as Mirvangelion.
