I suppose I'll be the one to start it up this year...

Attention all fans of the Koei "Warriors" series of games, if you're interested in having a gathering, this is the place to let us know. Please let me know who you plan to cosplay and if you are going to be at Fanime for certain. I'll keep an updated list of who is coming and the cosplay they will be doing.

I will be going as Sima Yi, as I did in 2009, and I will also be doing Oda Nobunaga. Not sure which I will do for the gathering though. I'm thinking Nobunaga. Well, I hope we can get this started. Also, if you have recommendations for when we should have the gathering, as well as where, let me know.

Fanime will be taking group pictures during the Gathering this year. If you do not want to be included in those pictures please step aside for those photos. By remaining with the group when the pictures are being taken you give your consent to be photographed.

I was surprised to not see some kind of discussion on this, but I suppose it just goes to support one theory. Are these games losing popularity just because they are so overdone and they have been around for so long? Or were they just never that popular to begin with? With Dynasty Warriors having gone from the original to Dynasty Warriors 6 with Xtreme Legends and Empires expansions put in periodically, is Koei just beating a dead horse? There was a small gathering of DW characters at Fanime this year, but still, with the wide range of characters there is someone for everyone to love, isn't there? And there weren't any Samurai Warriors characters, unfortunately. Perhaps I'll make that a project for 2010.

What is your opinion on why these games are still somehow being produced, and do you think they should be discontinued?

Also, share some highlights from the games if you've ever enjoyed them. Favorite characters, favorite battles, favorite game from the series, whatever you care to share.
