Nice!!!!

Thanks for the advance anouncement.. I'll reserve ticket to manila...hahah

Nov 3 is other event, and nov 4 other event? right

Both 3 and 4 have cosplay or only on 4?

Is the ticket available at the day itself?

oops sowee for the thought

I think the cosplay event will be on November 4 since the info is saying that the registration will be on that day. Look at the highlighted text above.

But there will be an event on nov 3, altho probably, there wont be any cosplaying on that day.

wow ok..
btw sa mga nakaexperience na ng lu live last year.. mga what time natapos ung cosplay event? and ung mga awards?
and pahabol na din.. sobrang crowded ba sa place? thanks..

Tanong din ako kung saan ba nagbibihis yung mga cosplayers twing LU live? Sa bahay ba, o sa event premises, like sa CR?

At saka kelangan ba naka costume bago mag register? or pwedeng mag register muna tsaka na magbihis..? kasi baka maubusan ng slot sa registration.

Hello,

I was the one who handled the LU Live's cosplay event last year. As far as I can remember, everything went as scheduled and the cosplay winners was announced early evening. As of now, we cannot give an exact time when the catwalk will start as well as the announcement of cosplay winners because the program for the whole event is still being finalized. If it makes you feel better, we are very strict with schedules. The participants from last year can attest to this.

As for the crowd, the space is pretty big, hello, it's WTC, so I guess it will depend on how much people will attend the event.

You can come in costume or change in one of the CRs. I think there are 2 (one for each gender), located on north and south side of WTC.

hmm... nung umattend ako ng last RPC event, WTC was crowded. Kung baga nakakapagod magikot kasi parang palengke sa dami ng tao. Malaki nga WTC pero mas madaming umattend.

waw i think nov.3 its the Tourneys eh... waaaa T_T
malapit na CUS T_T huhuhuhuhuhu

huwaw. i can't believe this. sana makapunta na ko this time... sana no classes na pag sat. wee. bakit hindi siya oct.. para sembreak na sana

question..

can RAGNAROK: ABYSS pde i-cosplay dito?? i mean the RAGNAROK MANGA...

our group is planning to cosplay this..

just asking..^^
