Announcing the "VanaFest Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway"! (NA)

yeah that was my ? too. ppl have been wearing it

Players that attended the live Vanafest and completed the quest events they had running for it.

Rest of us have to wait for the survey deal to be done up, which hopefully won't be too much longer, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who's memory of the streams is getting kinda foggy as time goes on. Hopefully there's a link to the English stream floating around on Youtube somewhere, as I've only found the JP stream saved so far.

thanks for the info

Although, if you look on the new expansion packs website, it says at the bottom... Systems Supported: Xbox 360 & PC. There seems to be no PS2 support for the new expansion.

ok i like to point out, the info on the expansion is brand new and that just because sales of ps2 games are kinda obsolete does not mean SE doesn't have a plan not to support it on the ps2. I for 1 think its doubtful they will HAVE a physical dvd expansion for the ps2, but I believe there will be a 1-time registration code just like the add-ons and it will be downloadable. You can completely install FFXI w/o the game disks expansions of CoP, ToAU, and WotG, but it will take a longer amount of time to download the version updates. all the game disks do is cut the time down to download the files. SE would not expand the minimum requirements of the ps2 unless they had plans of future expansions or fixing bugs they could not fix due to limited space.

No. You're not the only one. My husband and I did it too.. .pretty much as soon as they came out with SE Accounts and before realizing what it would have meant for the future as far as having both POL ID's on one SE account. We get screwed every time with one of this events as we have to literally take turns to see who might win a prize. Would be nice if they undid the undo-able and allowed me to switch my POL ID to the SE Account I made to play FFXIV (back when it was free).

There will be no PS2 Expansion for any region other than Japan. Go to the main forum to discuss. There is an angry thread there.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...ers-of-Adoulin

Of course they had to increase the hdd space on ps2 everywhere because even without the expansion the game will be getting updated regardless. If you don't install an expansion pack you can still see ninjas and scholars running around wearing gear from other expansions areas and stuff. They have to add all that data to the game thats why everytime there has been an expansion they have a huge update and day long maint a few days before it goes live. The ps2 players will still be able to play the same game and see the same things they just won't be able to access the new areas or anything that requires going there.

so more importantly then all this "should of done this" banter, when is the actual participation date, where to fill out survey? etc etc.
everyone with all your great ideas, please apply to work at SE kthx

All i was saying is just because theres no announcement now for na/eu players to not have an expansion on ps2, does not mean there will not be an announcement ever. They may announce down the line in the future before the release. And if not, its SE's loss on money. I was not trying to be angry about it.

However, FINAL FANTASY XI: Seekers of Adoulin will only be available on the Xbox 360 and Windows platforms in North America when it is released in 2013.

My point is withdrawn with the exception of the fact they lost money on ps2 users and theres always the possibility they can change their mind (tho very doubtful). Oh well, I'm a PC user. But its very disappointing to see every1 who is a ps2 user and still couldnt afford a pc thats compatible to play ffxi get screwed.

Any Idea when this event will be happening?

by the morning of the afternoon? gotta check my agenda.

Does anyone have a clue when they are going to reschedule this or whatever replaces it?

waiting and watching here Cal. Please let us know whenever you guys decide to pick this up and actually let us in on the details...

I bet it's going to be cancelled. JP get all the fun.

I was wondering about this event too since the Dealer Moogle is out waiting to hand out prizes in the Chocobo General Information area.

Greetings!

First off I would like to apologize for the delay in launching our Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway. We ran into a couple of technical problems when setting up the system and we have been going through the testing and verification process to ensure that when it does launch it will be a smooth entry process for all of you! We don't anticipate it taking much longer, but we do appreciate your patience while we finalize everything.

I have no problems with this. Last thing anyone needs is to win a top prize only to find out the system doesn't work. Player: "Yay I won myself a 90 Ragnarok!" System: "We're sorry for any inconvenience caused by this emergency maintenance, but all records of winners has suddenly been lost."

You give them too little credit. It would probably be something more like this:

"Congrats punk, you're da winna of da Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway. As promised you getta select one of our amazin' prizes."
>Ragnarok (90)

"Oh yeah? You sure you want dat one punk?"
>"Yes, let me have it!"

"Heh here ya go, enjoy your {Ragnarok}, kiddo!"

Received Puffball.

glad to hear that this is still going along.a random side question, were the winners of the art contest ever announced? as i never saw anything official mentioning it.

Caaaant waaaaait

Thank you for the heads up... Look forward to this great event... So wanting a chance to sport that cute Moogle Costume.

Please post new date start and end times/dates in this AND a new threadfor the 50% of the poeople not following, thank you.

Where is the survey posted!

Jesus people, I'm sure they'll make a post when it's up. They just said they're still working out the kinks so that it goes smoothly it's not up anywhere yet.

Only at SE could it be so hard to make a webpage that polls the answers, then randomly chooses a set amount of winners.

Did anyone else not get the confirmation email it said it would send?

Some one said they took the survey buuut I'm thinking they were lying because I dont see any posts unless I'm missing it...
