Hello there Final Fantasy cospeeps!

2015 is the last year I will be hosting this gathering @ FanimeCon. I have many wonderful memories over the past 9 years because of you, the cosplayers, coming out to my gathering and making wonderful things happen. :)

2006 was all the fun cosplay cross-play pictures that everyone was game to do. 2007 It took a break and came back in 08 with a vengeance! So many people showed up that I vowed to have it every year as long as I could run it. 2009 was the first year I had to juggle the commitment to organizing all the gatherings for Fanime and the commitment to organizing my own gatherings which taught me that I could juggle, but not as well as I would have liked *LOL. So in 2010 when we were officially our own department I set out to reward different gatherings with surprises and Hiroyuki Yamaga came out to the FF gathering. He was kind enough to judge all the FF cosplay costumes (where an Auron from FF 7 won) and I got to cosplay as Siren from FF 8 for the first time with our department cosplayer mascot (My grandson) who was a chibi Carbuncle also from FF 8. 2010 - 2012 saw our numbers increase with the new FF game releases and year after year I saw more extravagant & detailed Final Fantasy characters come out and represent their favorite FF game.

2012's FF gathering was (most memorable year for many) actually my best surprise at ANY gathering to date.... The Final Fantasy VII (mock) Wedding (with real marriage proposal) where none of the attendees knew what my surprise at the gathering was till it was gathering time! We held it at "The Slab" where Sephiroth walked Cloud Strife up the tree lined path to the stairs. All the female cospeeps formed two lines leading up to the stairs and all the male cospeeps circled the path to the alter. There the mock Pastor Jehova clone awaited with Zack Fair (the Groom) Aerith (Matron of Honor) and Tifa (as the Best Man.) The "Turks" rounded out the display and were key to letting the bride (Cloud Strife) know this was a REAL wedding proposal by holding up a sign with her real name and the question on it. The actual mock wedding script was a whole lot of fun to write and is posted here:  http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,12683.msg444949.html#msg444949
2013 I saw, for the first and only time, one cosplayer from each of the FF online games (FFIX, FFXI, FFIV) represented. It was a wonderful surprise that I never thought would happen. 2014 (last year) Saturday was just an unfortunate day for me. I had someone go and run the gathering since an emergency arose and I could not be there. I missed out! I missed ALL of you wonderful FF cospeeps and it SUCKED!
So this year I WILL BE THERE! Though it may be My last year hosting this gathering I sincerely hope it is not the last year for this gathering. I know I will need help, and I plan to cosplay, but I truly want this to be the biggest and best represented it has EVER been. PLEASE take the time Saturday, 12 pm, @ G9 (the "FALLOUT ZONE" in front of Registration where the stairs are) and come join me in MY Final ~ Final Fantasy All gathering.

MUCH LOVE
B

I'm gonna start working on a Lulu cosplay as soon as I get some money.   I think the hardest part is gonna be the 'belt skirt.'

Darn right!  I just did the estimate....unless I manage to get all the base parts from Goodwill, it'll probly cost about $200.  My poor wallet...

I have updated the list. Some names appear with a ? who are unsure if they will be attending (I sure hope they do ^^) and others are unsure of which character they will be cosplaying (Have a friend wear the one you aren't and bring both *LOL :P

Thanks for posting everyone! With the theme for 2010 being "Fantasy RPG" I sure hope that this gathering ROCKS THE HOUSE! of course I want the Theme gathering to be Rockin too :) so be sure and try to make it to that one too ;D

Please let me know if there are any changes/confirmation on the character you will be wearing. If you are coming from a specific title or version please post that also.

I'm so excited! I don't know if I will be cosplaying from VIII, XII, XIII, or Crystal Chronicles yet.... but I will let everyone know when it gets closer to Fanime...

I might go depending on whether it conflicts with other gatherings I'll be attending. But if I do go I'll cosplaying as Dyne and my niece will be cosplaying as Marlene. Dyne was a friend of Barret.
