I first heard about the game when my then-cosplay-group decided to do costumes from the latest version of Guilty Gear, so I guess that means the costume love came first!
At first blush, GG looks like just another fighting game but when you scratch the surface there's an entire universe and story behind the fights that weaves together really well. My friend rallamajoop (who has been a GG fan for much longer than I have, I must admit) has a bit of a pimping post here, if you're interested, with some official art to accompany it as well.
My favourite part of the game is probably the interaction between Sol and Ky, the two main characters (that's them in my first icon up there) who are ostensibly rivals but quite possibly Gay For Each Other. In canon, too - there's a piece of official art featuring them crossing swords with the heading "hostility is akin to love". :3
