I haven't buckled down to do my own FFXIV cosplay yet, but I've worked on a few for friends. My personal suggestion for anyone dabbling in armor for this project to look up suppliers for PVC Foam Board, light, easy to work with, and primes/paints super easily. We made an entire Dragoon Job set + Gae Bolg spear with the stuff in under a month.
Unfortunately for me my group tends to want to go all-in with mutual interests... only one other person in my cosplay group plays FFXIV /gg
