Fan Fest Revisited?

[SilvyrShadow]

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?

Fan fest you mean vanafest? They hold one every year in japan. Just had 1 last year

[Mnejing]

Maybe SilvyrShadow wants one in California, Rosina.

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.

Yeah I was referring to the one in the states

Personally, I think it's about time the EU got some love, tbh.

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.

they adding more and more flight security it is a huge hassle to fly anymore. But hey, thise forum is full if silly guesses I was being part of the "in" crowd. Also they brought in alot of ppl to fix ffxiv from other games and projects. This includes teh ffxi team. They want the game to succed. So they peulling all the stops for it to make it work out.

But ya most stuff was around huge updates. But I would guess the reason is because of the tsunami clean up is why no vanafest anywhere.

They would happily go through security IF IT MADE THEM MONEY. They would make sure there were people available from the dev teams and from the community rep teams IF IT MADE THEM MONEY. THEY ARE A BUSINESS, it is their responsibility to make money for their shareholders. They don't hold vana'events outside Japan because it loses money. Nothing else matters, nor should it.
