I adore Fire Emblem, and when I started playing Sacred Stones last year I knew I wanted to make a costume from it. I settled on Joshua almost immediately upon adding him to my party because he was funny. Luckily, by the end of the game, he'd become an awesome addition to my party and the story.

I'm pleased with how this came out. I made a pattern for the hat and modified a civil war uniform pattern for the coat. I wore him for 15 hours at the convention without being too hot, too cold, or too uncomfortable, which was a nice change from some other costumes.
