One of the highlights of FanimeCon 2025 was the Persona cosplay gathering. This was an opportunity for fans of the acclaimed JRPG series to meet up and showcase their cosplay.

FanimeCon 2025 Persona cosplay gathering took place on Day 1 (May 23rd) from 4 pm to 5 pm at location G7. This gathering was open to anyone cosplaying as a character from the Persona series. It was also open to anyone cosplaying as a character from the Shin Megami Tensei series. This includes characters from the Devil Summoner series and Dante from Devil May Cry, who was a guest star in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturn. Also invited to the event were anyone cosplaying as a character from Metaphor: ReFantazio. The photoshoot started with Persona 3 cosplayers, followed by different categories and themes. It all concluded with one massive group photo.
