Underappriciated and Overlooked RPG Photoshoot

There are so many good RPGs out there with fantastic character designs and great storylines and gameplay, but most of these get overlooked when a new Final Fantasy or other more popular RPG comes out. I'm talking about great games like Golden Sun, Fire Emblem, Harvest Moon, and the Legend of Mana series, among anything else.

So I'm wondering if there would be interest for a large gathering (or rally, haha) of all the games out there that have a few people cosplaying, but not enough for an individual photoshoot. There would be one large group shot, and then we'd seperate into smaller groups sorted by game/series.

Would anybody be interested? Please list your cosplay and what game it's from and we'll see if we can start photoshoot.

What a kind idea.

Well, I just thought I'd mention that my boyfriend and I are doing some stuff from Phantasy Star IV (Old Genesis RPG), and there may be a few others doing some as well. Who knows! Good luck with this idea.

I'd love it if you can make it. I've got a few people for the fire emblem category, but I think a large photoshoot of a bunch of small but great games would be great to expose other games other than final fantasy and dead or alive to the cosplay community.

Oh man, my Cecilia (Wild Arms... oh wait, that's that PSX game that came just before FF7 right? That explains everything >_<) costume comes with me to every con and I'm always HAPPYHAPPYHAPPY when someone recognizes me. No idea when I'm wearing that, but I'm in.

I also have a Star Ocean 3 costume, but chances are I won't be the only cosplayer from that game whatever day I choose to wear it unlike WA. I think Friday not-evening is when I'm doing one or the other so maybe then? Craziness has just went down big time for me in personal life-land and I have NO idea what my Otakon schedule is looking like now O_o

Wow, that's great! I'll be there as Nall from Lunar (small dragon form) but only on Sunday so I might not be able to make it.

Haha, I only have a GBA (and a DS) so I haven't played a lot of the PS2 games, but I've heard of Wild Arms and Lunar and I know of their relative obscurity. I'll be in Erk all weekend, as well as my other con-wandering-partners, so anytime would be good. Also, if anyone would like to help me get more people/arrange time and place and stuff, I'd really appriciate it! IM me on Cynical Erk (AIM) if you'd like to chat!

Hey, either Pent or your Lunar costume would be acceptable.

Bumping the thread.

Would anyone be interested in going out to lunch? A conglomeration of small RPGs coming together for...CHICKEN WINGS. Or something like that.

Well, good news from my corner. I got half my Harvest Moon costume today! XD Looks like I'll have it done for sure. Yay! Hey, I'm always down with lunch. Which day were you thinking? I think Saturday is best for me, how 'bout anyone else?

I can do any day, Erk will be wandering around with Eliwood the whole convention. Ooh, or hey, maybe breakfast and then a really early shoot? POPTARTS FOR EVERYONE!

AgentGinrei, who are you cosplaying from Harvest Moon? I may have to hug you, which is incredibly out-of-character for both Erk and myself, hah!
