    Fan Fest Revisited?

    Being that the last FFXI fan fest was way back in 2008, it has been some time since our community has had the change to gather together and celebrate the wonders of Vana'diel. Is it possible that SE will continue the tradition and hold another gathering some time in the near future, since next year will be the 10th anniversary?

    Speaking of which, they either skipped the JP one this year or no one in NA cared enough to care about it to inform us it was taking place.

    Oh ok. I didn't know we had one state side. I would assume they stopped it for reasons like airport security, and things like E3 being much bigger. Plus this game is old and they fixing ffxiv. I would like to go to one, but I perfer it be in boston. Maybe have 2 in the us. 1 in Eur and 1 in japan. But ya I think venafest was cancelled this year because of the earthquake and tsunami. Rememer they still cleaning up there.

    Lol security or ffxiv. They don't do it in the states because they don't make money off it, that's all.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty certain that at least one of the last two fests sold out. Other than an attendance issue, which I am sure isn't the case, I believe that the lack of a fan festival is because of lack of new content. Is it a coincidence that every convention seemed to coincide with a major version update or a new expansion?
