oops i forgot, i just wonder how he was a gym leader with lv 9 pokemon! ummm prof elm, and officer jenny?

but no terry, or may!

May would be an exception... cause I'm pretty sure that May's character model was the same model for the girls in-game character in Ruby/Sapphire. And I also think that Pokemon R/S came out before her anime debut???? (I could be very wrong on that one, cause I forgot about the japan side of pokemon... DOH!)

But who's Terry?

[akaikurama]

I'll make note of where this is meeting...Yea we have a place....

[simonsaz3]

This sounds awesome! I'll definitely be there to take pictures of everyone!
=D

[Kasin]

it took drew stuff, but then ash would be a go to then, because he was in blue as main character, and gary was the rival

[Agitato]

I'd love to do this!
I'm going to be Sheena from Tales of Symphonia on Saturday!
Looks like loads of fun!

[Neonraver247]

I'll let the people from our Devil May Cry shoot know, since we're doing it ~1:00 on Saturday.

The more the marrier...

[Kasemei]

I will be in some pokemon cosplay. XD four to choose from is hard.

[NoseMaster]

I'm down (Pirahna plant from mario), I'll try to swing by there around then.

[mrhoohaa777]

I'll join in! I'm doing Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes!

Though it is quite late to reply to this... here is the 'clear up' for .hack

If you are just looking for characters which where in Video Games, the following .hack// characters would be considered 'okay'

Project .hack
-----
All //IMOQ main characters and supporting characters, as well as 'minor' characters (Kite, Blackrose, Mistral, Elk, Helba, Lios, etc)
A full list of all characters can be found here: http://dothack.wikia...Game_Characters

All //Sign cameo characters (they were in IMOQ as wandering AIs or memory fragments)... Tsukasa, Subaru, Mimiru, Crim, Bear, Sora, BT, A-20

.hack Conglomerate
-----
All //GU main characters, supporting, and minor characters (Haseo, Shino, Atoli, Kuhn, Ovan, etc)
Again, a list... http://dothack.wikia...ames_Characters

Other .hack characters acceptable
-----

AI Harald
Aura
Jun Bansyoya (he had a character in R:1 and R:2 before his death, and was shown in the Terminal Disk)
Salvador Aihara (you can find his character in the japanese GU games, not sure about english)
Shugo and Rena (they were in //Fragment)

Also, due to the existance of //Fragment, you have to take into account some 'technical' factors here...

//Fragment allowed you to choose about 6 character models of each of the original 6 classes of the //IMOQ era, and recolor them in 5 colors (may be wrong on the number). So... technically speaking, all those would be acceptable as well.
------------------------------------

This was just an analysis of the question of '.hack' when it comes down to video game cosplay. Sorry if I over did it, it is just that I am a .hack buff.

The rule states that it has to be a game first to count.

[Soulcrash]

It's sad to announce... I just got word on what happen at AKon.. the final count from what I heard is... 697.... ****!!!

I got two options..

#1. Don't bother doing it next year..
#2. Gotta find a way in getting that number....

I'd suggest trying to really spread the word around - on other convention forums, other forums in general, LJ groups, etc. Set the date/time for the gathering right now or very soon and start spreading the word. Then spread it again come closer to May of '09.
Anyone that has Livejournals, Myspaces, Facebooks, etc., make posts in them now and closer to the convention too!
I wish I'd know about this last year, me and my two friends did Ace Attorney costumes one day :/

OMG where did they fit all those people?
It would take a lot of marketing to try to beat that

[RFBcaptain]

Me and my friend are going as Riku and Sora from KH2! I know it's probably already being done by a lot of people but the more the merrrier! <-- kami that line is lame XD

[Rissid]

Oh, I'll definitely be there! In a lovely Great Fairy costume. We should win that record. That would be really neat.

Totally agreeing that this would help out.
A more noticeable spot would be great too cuz this year I wandered around a bit beforehand trying to find it and was confused and then gave up... >> Then again I'm navigationally challenged.

I'll have A.B.A again next year though I'd love to wear Patchouli to this if Touhou counts...

[Gaming_Gurl14]

Heh, yea I couldn't find it this year too, so an official location would be great. Since my costume pissed me off this year I'll revamp it and wear Lulu again next year.

[~Sarah-Chan~]

Did ya have to put this on Saturday? V_V Oh well

I do have a game related cosplay however it wont happen cuz my hair will be dyed blood red and my game characters hair is brown....

More power to ya tho, I do know several FF cosplayers so I'll let them know if they wanna do this.

[DesertLily]

Two of the costumes I went to bring to Acen are from video games, so I will join in this too...though it would be nice to make it official somehow.

[this_chick25]

O hay! I'm doing a video game cosplay too (in fact, I may actually be doing two)! Hmm... If I can make it I will definitely try!

[Pantsless Roxas]

I know I'm definitely going to Roxas from Kingdom Hearts and will have an Axel, Saix and a Demyx. If it doesn't clash with the Masquerade stuff then I'm sure I'll be able to drag them along. I'll get back to you on a later date. :3

[arcticferret]

This sounds like fun! =D
I'll try to make it over; My friend and I will be dressed as Refia and Arc from FFIII.

[HaruHE]

Baiken from Guilty Gear, count me in.

[Krystal]

What day is this?

Well this thread was orginally for ACEN 08.
this may or may not be happening for ACEN 09, I'm hoping that it does I had fun at it last year.
Here is a link to couple of the video's from last year that Soulcrash took.

[this_chick25]

I didn't make it on account of 1) not knowing where the location was, and 2) getting utterly flashmobbed (a double-edged sword--I loved the love, I hated missing so many things I wanted to go to).

Next year, I may be able to make it if it happens.

We keept getting shooed away from the spots we started to gather at and finally ended up at the entrance to the convention center outside where the red carpeted stairs were. It was fun because we keept getting people to add on by everyone asking when they walked by....
