FanFest2014, What to bring for VIP autographs? Because its bugging me.

[Tenzen]

Hello everyone,
Was hoping to get communitys throughts on what to bring to Fanfest (VIP) for the private signing sessions with Naoki Yoshida and his team. I have all 4 CE's PC1.0 CE/AAR PC CE/PS3 CE/PS4 CE/ And Before meteor soundtrack. I Dont wana care all 4 big bulky boxes all over... Should i just bring the game boxes? Or one of the collectors edition Artbooks that it comes with to get all them juicy sigs! This has been on my mind for weeks now and i cant seem to decide unless SE has plans to give us something that he signs himself like the new soundtrack or Shirt? Anyways im stumped might just bring the game boxes. *thinks*.... Help me decide!

If it was me, I'd have my 1.0 game box & ARR PC both signed. 1.0 both games signify "where it all began" so to speak.

But when u say box do you mean the CE Box as a whole? or just the CE Game box(that holds the disk) itself?

Game box that holds the disk itself. Though if you are keeping it as a collector's item the value "may" go down by having it signed. If it was me personally I wouldn't care and would have it signed anyways.

As someone who has had a ton of memorabilia signed over the years, don't forget to bring the right pen. Your basic black sharpie will work well for some things, not so well for others. Their metallic sets actually end up looking much better on most items, really on anything that isn't pure white or certain shades of green. I prefer to use the Silver Metallic on items that tend towards blue or red and Gold Metallic on darker purples/blacks. There is also a Bronze Metallic which I don't particularly care for, but it's a matter of preference. Some people I know like it more than the Gold because it's a little more muted. I usually bring at least 5 different pens with me when I'm trying/going to get autographs and it has the added benefit of you being a hero to some people around you who didn't think things through.

Do NOT use paint pens, though. Not only can the initial results end up disastrous, with pools of ink or inconsistent lines, but the paint pens will actually fade much easier over time and are much more prone to being damaged.

If you're getting a T-Shirt, hat or other clothing item signed Sharpie make a specific "cloth" pen that not only writes easier on the items but won't bleed/fade if they get wet. Some of the less collectible items I actually wear and wash, and using the cloth Sharpie the signatures still look great.

As for what to bring, I'm really not sure. IMO, something like an art book I would have signed by the actual artists. For a Director/Producer, something more in-line with that role would be my suggestion. Game boxes, promotional materials etc. Just my opinion, though.

I didn't sign up for the VIP event but I'm hoping to get a signature from Yoshida on the map cloth that came with the EU 1.0 CE. Then I'd frame it and put on the wall.
