We knew that she liked the design of our Zelda inspired wedding band so we began with that as the structural design basis.

Takayas decided to focus on Lightning's gunblade because the gold pattern from the top of the sword guard lent itself well to the ring's design.

It was a little tricky incorporating the Cactuar request because Cactuars by design are a little comical looking compared to the ornate Final Fantasy world. For this reason, Takayas built two Cactuars into the under gallery of the band so that they wouldn't compete with the main Lightning theme.

In this way, they became something hidden and special that the couple could share.
