Persona 2018

Post by NaraHale »

I didn't Persona gathering on the forums here - so let's see if anyone is cosplaying from Persona!

I will probably be Joker (Theif's outfit) from Persona 5 at least one day of the con. Haven't decided which yet.

I may also be Yukiko from Persona 4, but that one's a maybe.

Is anyone else doing Persona? Would you be interested in perhaps a "midnight hour" gathering? (Some other time could also be reasonable, because I don't remember what time the convention closes.)

Hello! I am one of those who usually runs the midnight Persona photoshoots, in the event page that emperorsfortune mentioned! Please feel free to join and post in there as well!
There is a possibility the shoot may be bumped up to 11 or 11:30pm instead of midnight like last year. The shoots can no longer be held in the Prudential center like before. It will be posted on the facebook event page if this is the case. Thank you!

Cosplay Lineup:
Idia Shroud - Twisted Wonderland

I'm part of a Sunday group that is doing casual cosplay for Persona 5! We'll have fem!Joker, Ryuji, Haru, and Makoto. What better way to veg out in the AMV Overflow room than dressed as Phantom Thieves? :lol:

In case you weren't aware, the Shin Megami Tensei / Persona / Catherine group will have three photoshoots this year:

All three will take place in the Hynes Convention Center, in location "Venus": The first floor West Side under the second set of escalators. As a reference point, this is down the hall from the Dealer's Room Hall B entrance/exit.

Friday 3/30 from 11:00 PM to 12:00 AM.

Saturday 3/31 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Saturday 3/31 from 11:00 PM to 12:00 AM.

Please note that the 'midnight' photoshoots our fandom use to run inside the Prudential Center for the past several years (the hallway/food court area by Crazy Dough's Pizza/the former P.F. Chang's) have been 'permanently' relocated inside the Hynes. (For those that attended the shoots in 2017, we initially planned for the Prudential, but was forced to retreat/relocate to the Hynes 'last minute'). The midnight time change is to allow for cosplayers/attendees that depend on the T for travel at night a chance to be able to attend. Also the indoors location will allow us to run an afternoon shoot for the first time in years-in a stable/fixed location not affected by the weather/that is not outdoors.
Attended Anime Boston in: 2005-06 & since 2011.
Other cons I attended in the past include: AnimeNEXT, Otakon, Colossalcon East, Katsucon, MAGFest, Animazement, & Anime NYC.

...No Sunday Gathering? And no afternoon gatherings?

See, this is why I had to incorporate photoshoots into my panels in the past. What about folks who might want to have their pictures taken with cosplayers but can't be there at those times?

...I live in Boston and ran Panels for Anime Boston for 5 straight years. Planning gatherings will not be a problem for me at all.

I will attempt to organize meetups for the following times and locations so there isn't overlap:

Thursday - 6:00PM to 7:00PM: Sheraton Hotel near 2nd Floor Restrooms (same floor as Pre-Registration)

Friday - 11:00AM to 12:00PM: Boylston St. Atrium (the space under the Escalators past security)

Friday - 5:00PM to 6:00PM: 3rd Floor Hallway just past Food Stand (outside the video game room)

Sunday - 5:00PM to 6:30PM: Prudential Center outside the former P.F. Chang's

I will have Persona music playing in all but the mall locations to make finding me very easy. I'm not a Cosplayer but I will have my digital camera with me. You will have a VERY easy time finding me. I will be at these locations at these times.
