Hello 😄 I hope you had a fantastic time at Katsucon!!! Excited to read about your VIP experience and anything from the FFXV meet 😊 (and of-course I'm dying to know if you managed to ask a certain someone a few questions...? No rush though 👀👀😂) Thank you!
Oh my gosh…. first of all, my sincerest apologies for taking so long toanswer this! It’s definitely been a bit crazy trying to get back into the swingof things with work and life and whatever after the con. You know…. fun stuff and all thatcombined with the fact I wanted to take the time to properly answer this. ^-^(It kinda ended up turning into a bit of a monster, so I hope you don’t getterribly too bored by all my rambling xD) So here we go...!
Katsucon was definitely awesome!! It was only ever soslightly dampened by the fact that I ended up getting sick literally the daybefore I left, and pretty much got to keep the cold precisely through theentire duration of the con, before finally kicking it the day after itended…>.> Thaaaaanks body. Much appreciated. *sigh*
Having the VIP badge was so 100% worth it tho! Iwill admit that I didn’t really have as much of a chance to talk and askquestions with Robbie as I had originally hoped, because he ended up not beingable to make it to the VIP Meet and Greet on Friday. It was a tad disappointingat first, but it ended up being because of factors completely outside hiscontrol, so I don’t blame him in the least. Anyway, meeting him at theautograph session, MORE THAN made up for it! ;D
BUT GODDDDD… It was so amazing and exciting meeting Robbie, I couldprobably drone on and on about it ALL heckin’ day. Haha. Though if I reallywanted to condense it down to one big note… I would say that Robbie is totallyand 100% Prompto.
As I had mentioned before, I was putting together aTundra!Prompto cosplay (which of course I was wearing when I met Robbie >:D)and literally the first thing he does when he saw me was to yell “SnowyPrompto!!” xDDD It was hilarious and hella awesome.
So of course, I started endlessly babbling about how much Iloved everything that he had done to bring Prompto to life, and how much Iabsolutely loved playing Episode Prompto and the Assassins DLC. Robbie was SUCHA SWEETHEART and was so genuinely excited to hear me ramble on and on about howmuch of a dork I am and how much I love Final Fantasy XV.
I was able to atleast ask him how it was working on the Assassin’s Festival DLC, and he talkedabout how they knew that it was going to be something that was really just abunch of fun, so they were really excited to just play around with everythingand have a good time recording everything. At one point, I did specifically askhim if he knew anything about where the ‘cute blonde’ line came from, but hedidn’t know, though still thought it was a really entertaining line all thesame.
One of the best things that happened when I was talking withRobbie was when I asked him for photo. He practically jumped up, and we took afew pictures together. Then all of a sudden, he asks, “Can I pick you up??” (I’mabout 5’ tall and only weigh about 100 lbs, despite being 27 years old. xD) Andso of course, I’m like “HECK YEAH.” So, Robbie quickly proceeds to sweep me upoff my feet, and we took a few more pics (I nearly died of happiness btw…xD)
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE. Then… Robbie goes, “We totally need to get a selfie! You are Prompto after all, and he is the photographer of the group!” Sothen, we proceeded to take some selfies together, because HELL YES, I’m notgoing to pass up the opportunity to get some selfies with Robbie! ;D
TLDR; Katsucon this year was HELLA AWESOME and I am so gladthat I had the opportunity to meet Robbie, he is so sweet, kind and fun, andmeeting him definitely made the entire con for me! :D
