Questions
I was recently asked for an article for the PlayStation Magazine in Britain. Here are the questions and my answers:

1. Talk us through your favourite FF costume.
It probably has to be my Tifa Lockhart from Advent Children one, since it took longer due to the material and effort put into it. I'm not saying that I didn't like my Aerith cosplay, I do, it's just that the leather made the outfit, and it was a bit more comfortable than Aerith's.
2. How much have you spent on FF costumes?
I spend at least weeks to months just working on an outfit, whether it be a Final Fantasy cosplay or not. I try to put in as much effort and work into it to get that look from the character.
3. What advice do you have for readers looking to get into FF cosplay?
I would say to spend as much time, and NOT rush to get it done. A rushed cosplay of a FF character makes you look horrible and it gets some fans dissapointed that you didn't spend time with making it. I would also advise that you get a character that you love dearly or enjoyed in the game. A favorite character makes for a great cosplay.
4. Do you ever get funny looks in your FF costumes?
Sometimes, especially when I did the Aerith one. I burnt my self while doing my hair (the bangs) and had to apply twice the foundation to cover up the burn. The look on the E3 goers made me almost laugh and also made me almost run out of there. But every cosplayer gets funny looks when they're wearing or doing a cosplay. It's normal behavior, I believe.
5. Is there any costume in the FF universe that you wouldn't wear? If so, why?
Probably either Selphie Tilmitt or Fran. Selphie because the dress is super short and I'd have to cut my hair super short to get the look. Fran because I've seen some cosplayers who have done Viera cosplays, and Fran's outfit is just time consuming. Plus, the Rabbit ears are hard to find.
