You're missing a fair amount of Tales games XD Destiny, Eternia, Hearts, Xillia, The World, along with any sequels.Oh duh. Silly me! xP I'll fix the list right away~
*points at Chibi and bounces around all hyper like* I saw you soooo much during the con when you were Luke! My friends had to cover my mouth so I wouldn't run over and glomp you and shout randomly at you ^^;; "No one you're cosplaying would do that, STOP"
I can't wait to see who all will come to next year~ ^^
@Tanuki and CLAP : Should I put you guys as maybe's? o:
I'll probably be Raine from Tales of Symphonia again; I just need to revamp my staff a bit.I'll bring my hot glue gun if you need me to XD
Bahaha. Put me down as guy. screw maybe ! I WILL DO ITTTT . i'll make sure.
of course you doooo ~ its me 8DBahaha. Put me down as guy. screw maybe ! I WILL DO ITTTT . i'll make sure.
I freaking love you so much right now Niki :o:
As there are a lot of Tales games that haven't been localized, I can imagine there are quite a few that not a lot of people have played. I've personally played and beaten only Abyss, Symphonia, and Vesperia, but I have the games for and have general knowledge of Phantasia, Destiny, Eternia, and The World.
As for unlocalized games, I have read the translated script and have played a little of the game for Hearts (which is one of my favorite Tales games without a doubt), I'm playing the translation patch for Innocence, and I know where to find a script for Tales of the Tempest in addition to having the game and being able to play it.
I've unfortunately only seen clips of Graces and Xillia. : ( Hoping to be able to import Xillia at the least at some point in the next year or so.
As there ARE a lot of people who only know the localized Tales games at Kumoricon (or, that's the assumption I'm going on), it'd be pretty obvious to focus on the ones that have been brought over from Japan primarily. I personally would like to incorporate the more obscure games in there somewhere, though, seeing as one of my favorite games of the series is only in Japan and doesn't look like it'll be brought over at all.
edit: I know the girl who runs the Tales of panel every year at Metrocon, and she gave me some ideas.
- She usually runs the panel for 2 hours (which is about the time limit I was thinking since this is pretty huge). During that time ...
- Discussion of Tales games, starting with localized/popular ones and going to the more obscure and unlocalized ones. She usually has a powerpoint for this.
- Hands on playtime with some of the tales games ... I don't know how possible this will be at Kumoricon. If I had my own car, I'd be able to bring a TV myself for this, and I don't know if Kcon will allow me to request use of a TV. If I could possibly secure a television, I'd totally bring my Tales games and my consoles and let people have some hands-on time.
- Screening of Tales OVAs/Movies/Anime episodes. This IS possible to do, even if we only get a projector. I have pretty much all of the OVAs and Animes that have been made out of this series on my external hard drive (and in the case of the Phantasia OVA, I have that on DVD), and I have no issue whatsoever with showing off a few of them if there's interest in that.
- Raffle off one or two figurines during the panel. I ... don't know if I'll have the money to invest in figurines to be raffled off, to be honest, but if I have the means to afford just one, I may be able to do that.
We don't have to do everything exactly like Metrocon's Tales of Panel, since this is Kumoricon and we can add on to things or take away things as we see fit. C: But I thought these suggestions from Taisa were pretty darn awesome.
Also, she recommends having an assistant who knows the series well enough to help out with things. If I end up getting the panel together, would anybody want to help out?

I'm not entirely certain, but I believe that some projectors have input jacks that would work for the audio/visual plugs for a gaming system. I'm willing to volunteer to bring my dearly beloved Gamecube and some controllers. I only have the Tales of Symphonia game though, as well as episodes of the animation for that series, if you'd like me to bring them, too.
I actually haven't play some of the other series but I know Abyss pretty well ? This would be awesome to do ! I getting my friend to cosplay Raven and im of course going as Guy .
sdfsdfsd.
a panel would be so cool . omggg

@ Gwar - that's totally fine! ^^ Thank you for adding me! I'm pretty shy and feel odd being the only Tales of Hearts xD But oh well right? ^_^
I'm planning to get a dressform actually in January and that'll help me modify the skirt pattern for Richea, so I can make a new one that'll fit much better. Still not sure on the base, if it should be a petticoat or what... I'm thinking a petticoat attached to the skirt itself, and probably a 3 tier one...
CHIIIBIIII @Sorry .3. been gone to california xD come get it
YOU. I WANT TO GET THE WIG FROM YOU FOR GUYYY
So! I am officially signed up as Panels Staff for 2012, and my roommate has offered to be my partner for working on the Tales of Kumori panel this year. I'm going to try and put in off from work on May 19 so that I can attend the staff meeting and hopefully get the panel form in for us. c:sounds awesome !! 8D you have me' as Guy cecil and my bestie as Raven from tales of vesperia who are more then welcomed to be in the tales panel !
Speaking of Panel Content, I talked to my other roommate, who is actually a high-ranking member of the staff, and got her advice on how to handle showings of the anime ovas/movies and playing games at the panel, and it's been decided that it's probably not a good idea to do gaming. Especially considering there's going to be four of us packed into a tiny car and we can only take so much anyway, but I will be bringing my collection of Tales Games to kinda put up for show at the table at the front of the room. Just a note that I'm ... really paranoid and overprotective of them, especially a select few of them, since I'm lucky to have them.
My partner actually suggested something awesome as a minigame for the panel, though!! Tales of Graces f actually introduced a minigame called Magic Carta, which is really cool. Let me see if I can find youtube content ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMHRgbleDOQ Here! It's the Magic Carta game on easy mode.There are some name changes in the localization, so we might change those back to the original names ...
It's a HUGE homage to the previous Tales games, and it's a ton of fun. Tsumi and I are working out the mechanics of how we would do it during the panel, and I think we've got a pretty good idea of how we're going to make it work. It'll be interesting! And Tsumi and I will have a lot of cards to make, haha. There are 90 cards total, all of them of different Tales characters from the games prior to Graces.
Who would be interested in playing Magic Carta at the panel? :D
Yaaaay! A panel! <3 I would be interested in playing Magic Carta.~mhm ! mr. sexuality himself LOL.
@Clap; Oooo your friend is being Raven? Sweet! More Tales Cosplay! <3
I wasn't able to make it to the last meeting like I'd wanted to, so I'm going to look for panel forms, and I'll fill them out as soon as I find them. I'll keep you guys updated.Alright sweet ! hope we get it !
We're able to request three times on our panel forms. I requested that the panel be hosted for 2 hours on either Saturday Evening, Sunday Afternoon, or Sunday Evening. I wanted to make sure everyone who wanted to come to the panel would be able to, and Saturday or Sunday seems like the best days for that.sounds great ! i hope we dooo since i have no idea when im wearing Guy .
I really don't know when it will be put in the schedule, if it will be at all. Despite this, though, Tsumi and I are gonna go ahead with plans for the panel and hope for the best! c:
My panel partner and I are going to be working on panel content soon, but we're definitely planning on trying to play magic carta during the panel at some point. c: If magic carta goes over well and people want to play even after the panel is done, we may be able to move that elsewhere and play it?That sounds great ! Im really excited for this ! just let us know the details when its set up
I got an e-mail response saying that the panel form has been received! However, due to space and other limitations, they don't know if they'll be able to put all of the panels they receive forms for into the program. Long story short, we won't know if the panel is approved until the schedule is finalized and posted.
If we don't manage to get the panel approved, however, I know we can manage to find the time for a Tales meetup at the very least.
Also, in more Tales related news (that I'm giddy and excited about, don't mind me), Miss Leia Rolando has been revealed to be a returning playable character in Tales of Xillia 2, which is coming out in November! And she has a new outfit to go along with her return! Totally going to cosplay that outfit in 2013. >:3 She looks so good! So excited.
Ahhhhh, I haven't been able to save up very much for cosplay, but the financial situation here is getting better and I should be able to start saving up for everything after next week (Next Friday is my birthday and I am absolutely going to have fun 8D). I did manage to get materials for her headband though .... I should start working on that.
egnekgnkegn YES I saw that! I was gonna come here and announce it but you got to it first, haha XDDD SO EXCITED. I can hardly understand a lot of what I'm playing in the Japanese version of the game, so it'll be amazing to finally get to understand the epicness that is Xillia ~
Eeeee, both of Leia's outfits are pretty amazing *^* So excited to cosplay both defaults!
Seriously?! Awesome! c: Yay Yuri!
Also to everyone else, the list has been updated <3
I'm gonna have to take myself off the cosplay list. :( We're moving shortly after Kumoricon this year, so I need to save up as much money as I can to contribute to that. I'll still be attending KCon though, and the panel is still planned!Awwh well things happen and im glad your still attending.
Good News, Everyone! You are now hearing this in Professor Farnsworth's voice!HHOLY CRAP IM SO EXCITTEDDD.
... but more than that, The Panel has been approved! They're still working out the schedule, but we do know for sure that there WILL be a panel!

How about noon then?day 1 is good for me.I could do noon or 1 : 3 sorry to be a pain guys

Alright! I've seen a picture of the clock tower before. I believe it is kind of close to the hotel but not really? It shouldn't be that hard to miss, right? When is the gathering?its on day 1 @ 12:00
Also I think while at the Tales gathering, everybody should do the gangnam style dance just for the fun of it. I think a lot of Tales fans on tumblr would love to see that happening.
You might have seen me then, cause I was running around as Yuri on Day 1! : )Your album isn't set to public. You want to click into the album and near the top change the little icon that's little heads to a world (hover over it).
I posted all my pictures on Facebook. xXx (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.4203331075884.169911.1063078054&type=3) Feel free to tag yourself and your friends. : )
