Inspiration: Originally, when I was putting together a Final Fantasy group for Anime North, I wanted my friend Remy to go as Maqui because he's good friends with the guy going as Snow and it made sense, but he changed his mind and wanted a Noctis costume instead. I was totally cool with that because I was in over my head anyway and Noctis was way simpler.
Favorite Aspect: It's a bitching cool outfit! Plus, the actual design of the coat is rather simple and yet still recognizable.
Easiest Task: Surprisingly enough, the hip pouches. They came together beautifully!
Hardest Task: Hand-sewing the design on the shoulder, not because it's hard, but it's time-consuming and boring.
