Yes, please! Dear Friends and Distant Worlds were both fantastic; an FFXI-exclusive concert would be icing on the cake.

I also really hope the Japanese performance was recorded... I'd love to have a CD of the XI/XI/XI concert to listen to!

Need to stop giving out in-game items exclusive to people attending to things like this.

Of course, it wont happen, but what I am saying is, it should be everyone, or no one when it comes to in-game items. Heck, even the 'Spinet' seems to be dwindling on being able to be obtained by a lot of players, even though it was promised to many of them.

It's fine to have real-life events all around, but keep in-game items available to everyone, please.
I know, it's useless to ask for that, but here I am, rock you like a FFXI.

I think it's fine to give out aesthetic items to people who attend irl events.

Now if they are giving out Mythics, that's a different story.

Sweet, thanks Sven.

I'd very much enjoy the chance to attend a FINAL FANTASY XI concert presentation.

I'm also partial to it being held on the east coast. Charlotte NC has a great music venue to host it at. :D

I'd love to go to one of these concerts - The only thing is I don't live anywhere near any of the major cities it would probably be held in.

Bring it to Boston, MA or Portland ME, then I could go...

Boston. Now.

Haha, would be interesting to see what would happen if they did give such things, or even a little less drastic, in some regions. Might be so interesting that I'd be fine with just seeing it ha.

But yeah, I'm a collector and like to be able to get even the useless trinkets. I mean it's fine, really, I know those who are able to get them appreciate it (well one can only hope), but I will remain more and less annoyed about it but not mad or furious even as I might have seemed. =/


Edit:


A good example:

Regarding the code for FF XI, I am still in the process of confirming if codes from other regions can work on European FF XI accounts.

Once again, I would like to thank everyone for their patience and I completely understand how frustrating it may be not to be able to get the OST delivered in all EU countries.

I'd be partial to Washington, D.C. (but biased because D.C. and Richmond are the closest major cities to me). However, I would highly consider traveling to New York City or Philadelphia for an event.

I think it's an excellent idea, since there is an apparent lack of any other type of FFXI fan gathering since fan fest. There are a lot of FFXI players out there who would enjoy this type of thing, and would love getting together, not only to share the music, but to spend some RL time together talking about some of the best times and experiences shared in Vana'diel. And a gathering of this type would give us a chance to step away from behind the screen just for a bit and interact with other players, from various other locations and isn't that what part of the game is, to travel to (ahem) distant worlds and share new, exciting experiences?
As far as location goes, I myself would also like to see something on the East coast, not only because that is where I am located, but if you take into account the previous XI Fan Fests, they have always been on the west coast. I know that this isn't a request for a full fledged fan gathering, but a concert, but we would really like to see something on the other side of the country, just to make it fair.
One of the best days in my entire life is when I traveled to Chicago to attend a distant worlds concert to meet a friend, whom I met in FFXI 6 years ago who lives very far away from me. It is a time that I will never forget, we had so much fun! We cheered when we heard ~Bombing Mission ..laughed when they played ~Swing de Chocobo and looked at one another with a tear in our eye sadly when ~Memoro de la Stono/Distant Worlds was performed, knowing that we would have to say goodbye to one another here in our real lives, but would see each other again in Vana'diel.
Please take all of this into consideration, because we are in fact more than just characters on a screen. Though simple images flashing on a screen, and the pulsing drumbeat of the music that is played, we manage to slip away from our everyday lives to become something that we wish we would truly be. The result is new friendships formed across miles, mountains and oceans, all tied together with the love of one thing. Final Fantasy XI.
