So I am planning on a MH cosplay, but don't know what armor to do. I am a girl by the way. Kirin is just so overdone. I might do Rathalos, but I'm already doing Rathalos hammer. Maybe Barioth? What do you think?

yes, I can help, I make cosplays

first and foremost, what's your budget if you even want to get started
then, how close are your materials to get and buy, too far, very close, driving distance?
can't choose a armor, look at all the armor sets, if you're deciding between barioth, or rathalos

- Barioth, cheerper to make than rathalos, also very lighter than rathalos. Barioth will keep you much cooler, want attention? Barioth shows off skin and boobs, people look for that, rathalos, very bulky and big/flashy armor, also gets attention, your weapon also attracts attention, but remember bigger is sometimes not better, if its too big and too heavy dont bring it anywhere. Make sure your prop is light enough for YOU to carry around, and if you're at a convention, and you're doing a great or longsword, check the con's height requirements.

when choosing between two cosplays, which one if affordable, and save you money, unless you want to slurge.
