So ACEN 2010 is going to be my first ACEN and coincidentally my first time cosplaying. I have a few ideas of what I want to do and I plan on spending as much money as I need to to make it look perfect. Here are my ideas:

Main character from Persona 3
Finn from Fire Emblem 5
"Brown sleeves Link" from Oracle of Seasons
Or this guy ---> http://www.onemanga.com/The_Legend_of_Zeld...s_Mask/10.1/03/

Please tell me what you think? Which one would be cheapest? Easiest? Etc.
If necessary I can post a picture of myself for comparison. I want it to be as accurate as possible.

well...I do like Link in all forms....yeah, I'd go Link dude.

[Finn]

The problem with doing link is that its completely overdone. I want something unique. Im pretty much using that as a plan B because it seems simple an easy compared to the others. Did you take a look at that last one? Pretty much link. Hah.

[grandmaster-L]

yeah, I saw it. that one is pretty pretty awesome. And since I've never played fire emblem or Persona 3, I have no opinion about those guys....*sigh*

[Finn]

Yeah. Id want to do that one the most but thatd be quite a stretch and make things very difficult for me. If I can find someone to make the costume I would totally wear it though. As far as not having an opinion about the others just google image em. lol. Works for me. Ill post a picture of me in a sec.. I want to pick something thatll match up.

Link from Oracle of Ages/Seasons!!!!

[Finn]

It seems like Link is the fan favorite so far. lol. I guess there IS a reason its used so often. Btw.. Cant seem to find a recent picture of me so just take a look in my profile for reference. I dont want to dress as someone if it just looks off.

I think the easiest one would be the Persona 3 cosplay.

[Finn]

It would be easy but expensive. Hah. But I suppose it would as far as getting a hold of all the pieces. I want to get my hands on those special edition headphones anyway. That would give me an excuse!

[Lina]

I looked at your profile and you make a great Link! If you do Oracle of Ages/Seasons Link, I will have to do Nayru or Din! Most likely Nayru because she is my favorite.

[grandmaster-L]

told ya dude. Link rules

[Finn]

Hahah! Back then I did have the hair for it. I got most of it cut off so and it practically looks exactly like the main character from P3 only brown. Purely on accident. I would have to get some weave put in to make my hair long enough for Link. I want to stay away from wigs. I want it to look natural.

While I'm no expert on cosplay, I think it would not cost that much money. Using the below picture as a guide, you could most likely find most of the items at a local Wal-mart/Good Will. You might even already have most of the stuff. I've already got most of the stuff for the cosplay sitting in my closet. You might have to go to Ebay for the pins and the armband.

Awe! Don't say that about wigs. D: If you put the wig on right, the wig looks like real hair. Take a look at this picture of me: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v285/Vam...ss/stuff009.jpg

Also, if you grow your hair out now, you will have it in time for ACen! =D

[Finn]

If I was going to go for the P3 guy I would want the actual headphones and badges and stuff. So thats atleast $150 right there considering the headphones are going for like $100. And as far as the clothes go.. I have and wear on a normal basis everything except the jacket. I plan on getting someone to make it for me or something. There are a lot of subtle little details that I want to have included in it and I want it to be fitted right. I see all these people dressed as him with a super baggy jacket.. Bothers me so much. Ick.

I dont plan on cutting my hair until then so well see. Itl be hell straightening all of that though!

[Lina]

Good luck with that cosplay! I'm sure it will turn out great! =D

[Finn]

Thanks. ^^ I hope it goes well.

[kahad]

If you are interested in the headphones, there is an auction on Ebay right now and the price is currently $34.00.

[Finn]

Really? Thats a good deal. I wont have any money until the end of November though so Ill have to miss it. Damn.

[wrexness]

Hmm... well, if you want someone unique I'd definitely suggest Finn. While Minato Arisato (Persona 3 lead) wasn't the most popular costume last year (I'd say that would be Simon and Kamina from what I saw), I still ran into 3 or 4.
