UPDATE: Well, I think I'll keep with my status as thread organizer, since no one else is making a thread for this........ T_T Buuut if someone really wants to make one, by all means, please do! But until then, I'll just keep everything FF gathering-related for 2017 here! So that we can have a gathering again..... <3 Also, like last year, I'm hoping to have help with this gathering. ^^;

Would non-FF Square characters be welcome at this gathering? specially ones from series that no one cosplays from and wouldn't have their own gathering?
I doubt I'll be able to do Ultimecia for the gathering again (nearly killed me last year), but I'm planning on bringing Angela from Seiken Densetsu 3, and since no one cosplays from the Mana series but me, there's no point in a separate gathering for it.
Of course, this depends on timing of the gathering -- I have a big unrelated group planned for Saturday afternoon -- but if it's noon or otherwise early in the day again, I'd be willing to slot Angela in that time, if my obscure old cosplay would be welcome despite not being FF specifically.
I think that would be fine! I've heard of the Mana series(think I played a bit of one of the games before on an emulator? :X As far as memory serves, anyway...)
Cool!
I'm a fan of the Mana series, but it doesn't get enough love. Legend of Mana is my favorite game of all time.
If you played on an emulator, it was probably either Secret of Mana (the first of the series to make it to the US), or Seiken 3 (which never made it to the US but there were some sketchy and incomplete translation patches that allowed me to play...most of it).
I'll let you know on the cosplay once I figure out a few photoshoot things (a lot of this depends on when I'm doing an Ultimecia shoot, since the rest of my schedule will fall into place after that), but you can put me down as a solid "maybe."
Noted!!
(With that aside, still looking for a host for this gathering!!)
I can help you out if needed.

That would be excellent!! ^^
Cool
But I would suggest you sign in to the gathering as soon as possible before you lose a good spot.
Just pick a day and time for now that looks good to which you can change later if needed. Better to have a spot saved for now.
It's been submitted. Kinda hoping for Monday, if that's ok with everyone! I know Monday's not really a big day, but I'm sure it can still work somehow!
Awesome! With the FFXV hype strong this week, I've decided to add Noctis to my lineup, and Monday's the perfect day cuz the rest of my weekend is already packed x_x lol lmk if you're still looking for a host or if someone has already volunteered~
If time permits it I might be able to come as Noctis from the new and upcoming FF15.
But don't cross your fingers as this would be a very last minute project.
If it's Monday, I probably won't be able to make it, but don't base the date off of me. :]
I feel like it'll be a smaller gathering if it's Monday, and with FF being a hugely popular series (and with the new game coming out) it might make it hard on a lot of attendees...maybe take a poll somewhere more populated than these forums, like Facebook?
Well, I submitted the gathering a few days ago so that we'd have a better choice of day and time. If the gathering does happen to be on Saturday, it would probably be around 3pm. Saturday is do-able, though, as long as it's around that time.
Saturday at 3 would certainly be the most optimal for people to show up.
But as the gathering host, in the end it's your call.
Uhm, technically I'm not the host, as I've stated in the first post. It's just that no one made a thread for this gathering, so I made one in case others forgot or something.... and then somehow everyone started calling me gathering host..... :x Yes, since I made the thread, I have to submit the gathering and whatnot, but when con comes around, I'm not gonna be the person fully in charge. (^^)" I know it sounds confusing, but I'm just running the thread!! Also I had to submit the gathering already in order to have a more open selection of days/times, that way we can work something out for everyone, or mostly everyone!!
Perhaps Saturday at 3pm will be our time, but if other gatherings are in the way, then Monday is our other option! However, you can't please everyone, unfortunately. :x
Well no worries.
I'll try to help out the best I can.
Hi @Angelx624! I sent you a PM but I'm not sure if it went through :/ If you're still looking for a host, I'll volunteer to take over. I've hosted a number of gatherings before, and photographed the FF gathering at AX last year too. Hopefully the cosplay gathering department gets back to you soon about the date/time submission you sent them. Just let me know, and I can create a Facebook event page and recruit as many FF cosplayers as possible :)
Ahh, yes, it went through, and I keep meaning to respond, but it slips my mind........ :x
Anyways, that would be great! ^^

Yeah, no prob! I don't mind. I'll keep a lookout for when the department updates the list, then create the FB event. Hopefully soon, since it's been over a week now.
Yeah :O Thank you for that! :3
So, if we want the gathering to happen on Saturday, we might have to change locations, due to the preferred location being occupied. :X
(Still think Monday might be the best choice at this point. x_x )
So, we've got a time! Monday at 1pm! (Just checked the gatherings list and it was added)
Does this work for everyone?? I do believe Saturday is pretty much booked as far as I know. I believe 1pm should be good since mostly everyone should be checked out of their hotels by that time.
monday at 1 is perfect for me. i'll create the fb event page rn too. sat i'm p busy with the monty oum gathering and then i'm in a tg panel in the afternoon too :|
event page is up! https://www.facebook.com/events/1116562901697793/
Thank you so much! ^^ <3 And same, unless they change the time and day for that, which it's in discussion right now. :x
Congrats on getting Monday :D
I won't be able to make it, but I hope the gathering is successful. :] I'll still be wearing Angela at some point, and I'll probably bring Ultimecia so I can do a photoshoot.
No worries, Nina. And thanks! <3
Monday hmm...
I am cosplaying an FF character but probably not on Monday, but we'll see if I can.
It's a tight time.
Well, since the gathering won't be til 1, there's plenty of time to take care of hotel checkouts and whatnot beforehand. :)
Actually, there's been talks about moving the gathering to 11am on Monday. Which time would work best? I'll make a poll so people can vote. XD
Well for me, 1pm is more preferable than 11am.
But it is true that I might be already done with hotel check out.
So at the moment, it's a toss up for me.
Of course, however it turns out, wishing everyone a good gathering still =)
Personally, either would be possible for me. It depends on my roommates though and when they wanna check out that day, but I can always check my stuff out before the gathering if they aren't checking out til the designated time(12pm) so that I don't have to rush over to get my stuff after the gathering. And if it's at 1pm then I can just check out with my roommates. So either way I should be good. But it really depends on what the majority of people want(and right now it's looking like it'll be at 11am)
But yes, I hope this gathering goes well. (><)"
Update: The gathering will be at 11 A.M. See you all there!
The gathering is confirmed for 11am!! ^^ Check the main post!! Now just waiting for Imperial to update the gatherings list with the new time. :D
I'll be there as Snow Villiers! I'm super excited for this, it's my first Fanime!!
Added you to the list!!
Whooo we're only a few weeks away!! How's everyones cosplays coming?? :o
It's uncanny....only a few weeks, well a month.
But still...
It's coming up fast.
Most of my cosplay is done (except my FF one...should be on time...I hope)
Still uncertain on the meet up/gathering for myself, but will do what I can.
I just have to finish painting my pinwheel and the wings on my duster and I should be set for Rinoa!! ^^
My other cosplays still need some work, though....... XDD
Just so happens that Monday is the one day I can make it as Laguna Loire. Mostly done: ordered wig today and will have it in a week or two. Also plan on making a visit to the dollar store and/or fabric store to find something for some of the smaller details.
Suppose it's just my bent imagination speaking that I find myself entertained by the idea that genderbent Laguna would dress almost exactly the same.
Yay, Laguna!! You've been added.
Hi all this is my 5th year in a row attending FanimeCon and my 2nd year ever cosplaying. I'll be bringing my finished FFXIV Black Mage cosplay. The only part that needs to be done is the Stardust Rod (hopefully done on time). Great to get acquainted with y'all. Just a little more than 2 weeks until its showtime!
Hello! Depend on my schedule and my progress (almost done though) I might be there as Lightning (her Final Fantasy 13 original version.) This is going to be my second time in Fanime and exciting to join my first Final Fantasy gathering.
Awesome!! ^^ Hope you can make it! And this'll be my first Final Fantasy gathering, too..... ;_; I'm sad that I missed them when BSaphire hosted them. D: (But I didn't start doing FF cosplay til a couple years ago, and that was at Sac-Anime, unfortunately :( )
Myself and a friend will most likely be in attendance as punk versions of Aerith and Vincent. And don't worry, we look like proper crust punks rebelling against the Shinra establishment lol
Alright, well I have you guys down. XDD
I'm going as Serah because said attending Snow told me too :p
Ok!! ^u^ You shall be added!!
Fanime's coming up..... you all ready?? My Rinoa cosplay's about done save for a couple touch ups!! <3
Doing a last minute scramble for footwear. Though if I don't find it, I'll just go without.
So, a little Chocobo told me that non-FF Square Enix characters are welcome... Incidentally, I am planning on going as Lucca (from Chrono Trigger) sometime this con, and there's a good chance I might be able to swing by this gathering. I don't have any FF costumes unfortunately, which is strange given my recent obsession with FF6.
That's quite alright. ^^ And yes, you can drop by!! <33
It was great meeting all of you at the FF gathering on Monday. I was cosplaying as the Black Mage from FFXIV and had a lot of fun taking pictures on stage. Can anyone redirect me to where the photos will be posted online? I'm excited to add them to my collection of Fanime memories.
Thanks!

I had quite a blast at the gathering!!! XD Thanks to Saite for being a wonderful host!! And to the Snow who helped her out! :)
Anyway, pics can be found in my Fanime album!! ^^ I made it public for all to see. :D https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10153901603631284.1073741872.663126283&type=3
I thought I took a photo of people running from the Tonberry King but it turns out I hadn't. So here's one of White Mage and Black Mage with glowy eyes.

(could be classified as FF9, for those who remember the game well enough)
Hello everyone!! Just a heads up that an FF gathering hasn't been set up for this year, yet! I wouldn't mind making a new thread, but if our hosts from last year want to go ahead, they are more than welcome to. ^^ I'm just bringing this up so that FF isn't forgotten for this year. :P
Ok........ so I cleaned up the first post for 2017. So unless someone wants to make a new thread for this year(which is completely fine) then I'll just stick to being thread organizer. ^^;
Also, in case anyone didn't see, Imperial gave us an update and stated that G4(the stages in the Hub) are no longer available to use for gatherings, so we will have to have it elsewhere. But I'm sure we can figure something out! :)
Just out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in a Final Fantasy VII gathering either right before or right after this gathering?? Let me know and I'll consider hosting one!
Also I'm still looking for help with this gathering!! :)
I can lend a hand if you need it.
Alright. ^^ That would be great, thank you!
Gathering has been submitted. :O If someone else submitted a Final Fantasy gathering that I don't know about, then that's fine. xDD I just want this gathering to happen again. <3
I really want to attend as Freya (IX)! Can't wait to see all the XV cosplays this year ;D
I gather no one has made a FB for this event yet...? It's a bit confusing reading through last year's posts and this year's posts, I'll see y'all there as Ignis, with a whole party, Noctis, Gladio and Prompto hopefully!
I know those who helped me host it last year made a FB event for it. I guess I can if no one else does...... xDD
That being said, I'll add people to the list!
Saturday at 10AM, huh?
My Fanime schedule is currently more question marks than anything, but that's a favorable time for wearing Ultimecia, so I might be persuaded to attend in that. Either that or Harle from Chrono Cross, depending on how hard mode I want to go.
Yes, we're official. XD And it's alright, I'm currently scrambling through my schedule as well.
I have added a link to the FB event page in the first post. :) Can't wait to see everyone at the gathering!! <3
Wasn't sure if we should be RSVP-ing on the event page or here, but I'm coming as a goofy version of Prompto and my friend will be coming as Cindy!
You can on both. XD And will add you to the list!!
Mandatory bump!!
As far as planned right now, I will be Kingsglaive Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, and will have a Prompto with me.
Alright, I'll put you on the list along with your friend! ^^
Hey! I am Kuri's friend. I'm being Prompto.
@ Angelx624 - left you a pm about the gathering, hope you were able to see it. Looking forward to hearing from you (in case you missed seeing the pm)

Hello! I should be able to attend this gathering as long as masq judging isn't around that time. I'll be Noctis in his Kingly Raiment outfit! My cosplay name is Ohtori Kagura. I'm looking forward to seeing other fellow FF fans there!

Unfortunately something last minute came up so I won't be able to attend :( Maybe next year!
I ended up showing to this late as I had lost my badge and could not find the location. But there were a few people who took photos of my fiance and I, we weren't in group photos. We were ffxiv machinists, if anyone happens to have imgs please forward them to me. :) thank you.

Aww, no worries! Things like that happen. ;_;
But thank you for showing up in the end. ^^
