Final Fantasy 7's Aerith Gainsborough is one of the most iconic characters in a game that's filled to the brim with them, and a new cosplay could hardly be a more accurate interpretation of the character. FF7 has been a popular inspiration for cosplay for decades now, and the recent release of FF7 Rebirth has led to another surge in excellent fan projects. The detailed costumes of the remake trilogy provide a new standard to aspire to, and successfully translating the appearance of any character to real life is automatically memorable.
The stunning new Aerith cosplay comes courtesy of Reddit user PaperClip2304, who posed with a basket of flowers in an urban environment that could conceivably pass for the slums of Midgar. The posted photo shows off her costume in detail, which recreates everything from the zippers on Aerith's red jacket to the surplus of straps on her boots.
What's especially impressive is that the cosplay is apparently self-made, which helps explain why the material quality stands out in a way that even great pre-made costumes often fail to match. This isn't the kind of cosplay that can just be thrown together, and the results speak...
