Hey all,
I was planning on going to '08 as Fuuka from Persona 3 and was wondering if anyone else was planning on cosplaying from that game (or the general SMT series), or if, you know, anyone had ever even heard of Shin Megami Tensei. It, along with various other Atlus games, seems to be a rather... obscure fandom.
Hey, right now I just conivced my group of friends to go as Persona 3 characters as well. Hopefully by the time Fanime rolls around you'll be seeing a Junpei, Mitsiru, Akihiko and an Elizabeth.
I'm thinking of going as either Pharos or Ken Amada. I haven't decided because I don't know where I could find the fabric for Pharos' clothes and Ken's outfit seems like it would be really expensive...
Anyway, I will be one of them for sure.
>shrugs<
Possibly another Mitsuru.
I'm so indecisive. LOL
I'm contemplating Shinjiro.
I've been teetering on whether or not to cosplay as Ken (i need a wig! guuuh), Maiko (easiest to cosplay!-- hopefully) or a Persona (.. yeah), but I will be there!
I'll be bringing Chidori, it would be awesome if we could get a Jin and a Takaya too =3
Ah, now I kinda wish I went ahead with trying to make an Elizabeth cosplay. Oh well, I've got too many cosplays on my hands as it is.
Hey I have a question to all the Persona cosplayers out there. Are you going to buy or make your Evokers? Since its almost a sin for someone cosplaying a member of SEES to be without an Evoker I'm really struggling to think of a way for our group to all be packing Persona summoning heat. I've tried buying a gun lighter on Amazon because they look pretty darn close to the real thing but the thing is waaaaay to small.
I believe it's most common to either build one out of cardboard and paint, or to buy a silver airsoft gun and mod it a little. I dunno, I probably won't have an evoker in time for Fanime.
Sigh...
how come no one cosplays from a series... when it's good? They always cosplay from the series after it turns shitty. Persona 1, 2EP, 2IS, those were great! 3... not so much at all.
Maybe i'll get off my ass and finally do Persona 1 cosplay like I've wanted to.

Who were you thinking of going as from it?
Guuuh, does anyone have a proper screenshot/photo of Maiko? I've spent the past few minutes trying to put her whole outfit together, but all I could catch was a pink t-shirt (I think there was a rainbow on it?) and her jean jacket & skirt.
I'd love to see how her hair's actually made up as well. x]
Thanks!
I'll bring my Arisato costume then
I bought a cheap dollar store gun, spray painted it, and am going to fix it up a bit. Nothing fancy. Though, I have to repaint the tip to adhere to weapons policy.
And I am 100% sure I am going as Mitsuru. I just need to work on my holster. Everything else is ready.
I have a friend who'll be bringing his Minato cos to Fanime; if I have time, I may make a quick Persona 3 cosplay as well~ :3
Crud looks like our group is going to have to raid the dollar store for evokers as airsoft guns are banned. Either we get a new supply our we just pose with them outside. Also since we do have a few persona cosplayers going to fanime maybe we should arrange a date and time for all of us to meet up and do a mini photoshoot.
Hey guys, I think we did well this year. To my estimations...
Minato: 3
Junpei: 2
Yukari: 1
Mitsuru: 3
Akihiko: 2
Aigis: 2
Apathy-Syndrome victim: 1
I had fun (I was a Mitsuru). Hope you guys had as much fun as I did. I found another Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Junpei after the gathering. D: Hopefully the RPG gathering will reunite us all, SEES members.
It was my first shot at cosplay (along with Miranda/Jessica/Aigis) and I had a blast. Its nice to see a cult game get such a good following going.
Props to everyone and their outfits and lending to the overall awesomeness of Persona.
Wow, looking through the con reports and various pictures from fanime posted, it seems that there were a lot more P3 characters at the con than what showed up at both the Saturday and Sunday gathering. It would have been totally awesome but hey its an anime con so no biggie. I will say it was a total blast meeting you folks, chatting with you, sharing meals and even sword fighting (you know who you are :D)
This goes without saying that if you manage to find any photos of the P3 cosplayers at fanime or if you have your own pics then by all means post them here as we would love to see them.
BTW I was a Akihiko cosplayer, the one who always had his jacket slung over his shoulder.

Amazing dude! Hey is it cool if I upload these to my cosplay.com account. I'll give you full credit along with naming all the people in the pic that I know.
Yeah, I may snag some too. =D
Wow, I look pretty sick. (ahem...http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk108/jvsad1/DSC00925.jpg)
Yeah, that sword fight was badass. Good job Akihiko-senpai!
Kudos for Apathy Syndrome guy for being kick ass as well.
Yeha thats fine you can use whichever ones that you want
I also uploaded these on cosplay.com as well
I made a small album dedicated to the Persona shots one cosplay.com right here. Now I have a few missing identities of people like our two Minatos so if you can please tell me who you are I'll gladly fill that info in. Also I found our jazz hands pic over at American Cosplay experience and it just looked wonderful so I used that one. I suggest taking a look at it as it really brought a smile to my face.

I was dressed this weekend as a couple different outfits of the Protagonist/Minato (Summer uniform, and summer casual, and at one point I borrowed my Junpei's jacket for the whole outfit...), but unfortunately couldn't make it to the gathering since it interfered with another event... I was happy to see all the P3 love at this con...! did anyone get my photo? I was with a Chidori a lot of the time ~ <3

I thought your Minato was awesome. I was also Minato and I took a pic with you with my little neice and cousin who cosplayed as Mitsuru and Yukari.
Here are my Persona pics from Fanime 2008:
http://go2sleep327.multiply.com/photos/album/14/Persona_3_cosplay_Fanime_2008#
Persona 3 represent! I cosplayed as Minato Arisato and I brought my little neice who was Mitsuru and my little cousin who was Yukari. It was their first Fanime and they loved it.
I just wanted to say thanks to G-Force for creating the post about the Persona 3 cosplayers. I know there was more P3 cosplayers and it's too bad we all couldn't have been in the gathering. It would have shown that P3 is more popular than expected.
Also thanks to Saint-Vegas who cosplayed as Junpei Iori and to your friend (I don't know her name) but she did a fantastic job cosplaying as Aigis. She totally stayed in character everytime I said Hi to you guys, which was a lot lol.
And thanks to jvsad (Apothy Syndrome victim) for posting all those pics.
Her name is Jessica, but the nickname everyone calls her is Miranda. All the same, I'm sure she'll be glad to know you liked the outfit, because she wanted to look her best and tried really hard. It was also her first convention, and our first attempt at cosplay.
It was a really good experience all around. She'd tell you herself but she hasn't had an opportunity to join the boards (I'll make sure that she does).
Hey G-Force, you down to come back to San Jose this summer and party with us?
I was the school Aegis. I go by Miranda and Jessica. Thanks for posting the pics they look great! :D
I wish we'd stayed for noodles... :P It looks like you all had fun.
PS I saw a picture with Fuuka in it as well as Shinji so they really were there, we just missed them.
I saw the Shinji too, Saturday night at Starbucks. They certainly were tall. xD
The gathering sounds like it was fun, now I wish I had actually went ahead and cosplayed either Minato or Elizabeth. I'm planning on it next year though...
Anyways, I think my friend might have pictures of a few of you on his camera, if he does I'll post them here whenever I get the chance.
;D I didn't even know there WAS a gathering, much less two... not that it would have mattered. I was working artist alley as a Minato (in costume only on the Saturday), and my group left on Sunday. Still, it was awesome seeing so many of you all around, and all such good costumes! Hopefully there'll be a gathering next year too, because my friends still want to make the P3 costumes they didn't get around to this year! ;)
I'll have to be more careful in checking the forums from now on! Great costumes, everyone!
PS- If possible, could the Yukari from the group shoot at the stairs outside the convention hall on Friday PM me? Or at least I think it was Friday... We were talking but it was loud, you guys were still getting pictures taken, and I didn't quite catch how we knew each other. (Frankly, I was in shock that someone I knew could be at the con, and cosplaying the same game, no less!)
