Announcing Coverage of VanaFest 2012!

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

Will it come with a Parade Gorget, or do you still need to find the spawn point?

the powder is cocaine isn't it

[SpankWustler]

It's people. Red Powder is made out of people. They're making drink condiments out of people.

On second thought, I take that back. Could someone from the development team (since thy seem to be active on this thread) explain just why there is such a huge difference between the real-life event and the in-game event? Apart from some new, re-skinned and occasionally useful finery, a largely useless experience ring and a fully unleashed set of kupopowers it's like just any other day in Vanadiel.

Oh just calm the fuck down. In-game events have never been too big to begin with. Keep your complaining to the thread you made.
....

ANYWAYS,

Too bad it doesn't seem like we'll ever get another US Fan Festival. That's the only real complaint I have about any of this. I was too young to go to any of the other Fan Fests, and now it seems like I won't ever get a chance to experience it.

So now they're just teasing us with all the food we won't be able to try because we don't live in that country and can't buy tickets?

[Savlyn]

Does anyone actually care about these posts?

[Camate]

All of these VanaFest-related posts are for all the players around the world (whether attending or not) to see a variety of famous food and drink from Vana’diel come to life. Just because this event is being held in Japan doesn’t mean we should not share these behind-the-scenes type of posts. We hope to give everyone a chance to see the kind of stuff going into the making of these famous dishes, and hope people enjoy it! But even if you don’t, that's okay, too. We would just ask that you not be overly negative to dissuade the enjoyment of others.

I'm sure there are people who do see it as exciting, however there appears to be a larger majority who note how they cant attend view the stalls,performances,contests etc. purely b/c they are not in japan. To be fair yes we should be glad we get the live stream, however that only does so much, and to other players it only reinforces what they miss out on for not being in the region it is sponsored in. as a comparison there is a massive difference from seeing a concert or sports game on TV versus actually being there
