It's been 5 hours. I'm still in the merchandise line. It's been a bit of a mess. Not sure if it's incompetent staff or a bigger issue.

Yeah, that had nothing to do with Balmung. It was all Hyperion questions.

What a shame :C I'm watching the Live feed and everything is kind of awkward with the staff and the video has no direction.
Lack of training maybe? It could be worse, I think...

Still the they cheered alot when they announced more inventory. XD

I would imagine that a person would go to the fan fest for in person interaction with others players and to maybe get chance to meet the dev team. If they didn't go for that stuff and just disappointed that more information about 4.0 wasn't revealed then maybe they went for the wrong reasons and should of just watched the stream from home.

And they charging $30 for that? Glad I didn't buy the stream.

The feed is fine. Most of the people presenting are not professional presenters - so its not going to be smooth and glossy. Its real people who are part of the team just trying to put on a good show gor all of us.

I've had to present professionally numerous times and have taught others to do it. Its so much harder then you would think, especially if it not something you do regularily.

I've been watching and found it funny vharming in its rawness. 30£ for several hours of entertainment is worth it. I pay more for 2hrs for a shitty film at the cinemas.

Stream is ok, the only problem so far was the camera kept shaking the entire time during panels.

$40 as a Canadian, which I basically spent to enjoy Yuna's garb. *Edit: Adding I have no issues over the price, 10 is my favourite Final Fantasy, followed by 8; I bare no issues with showing my support*

Personally, I don't find much enjoyment in the lack of professionalism in both the presenters and film crew, though I'm glad you and others do.
The cosplay contest... what a mess u_u

Gold star for trying, wouldn't hurt to invest in something more high quality for next year.

Indeed, and I thought $15 CAD for a movie was high. For reference, 30£ = $48 CAD

This guy gets it. Its like people who complain about glam items being "walled" behind rl items and such. If you paid money to go Vegas just to see a keynote about a videogame and feel jipped, that's on you. Get out and do things. Go to the other FFXIV stuff, go gamble, see a show, DO STUFF UNRELATED TO A VIDEOGAME! TRY THIS THING CALLED REAL LIFE!

Seriously enjoy your time there, take it all in, not just a single event and call it a failure. Again if you went to one of the most fun cities in the world and think you didn't get your money's worth, then you need to look at your life.

Then I wouldn't reccomend going to the cinemas in Aus.

Tickets + drink + popcorn would cost me easily around the $40aus mark in Sydney. More if I wanted better seating.

Could you tell me more about this? Cause in US we just buy a ticket and pick which ever seat we want that available. As for my earlier post I was just comparing price of a ticket only (no concessions) to the price of the stream.

Yep. Shockingly none of the glamour/hair questions came from Balmung either.
