For the following activities, will we be able to choose which players to play with?
Also, can we use a controller or is it all keyboard/mouse?
Special Battle Challenge
What brand-new challenge awaits Fan Festival 2014 attendees? You’ll have to wait till the event to find out!
Extreme Primal Challenge Roulette
Join a team of 8 fellow players and try your luck on our Roulette Wheel which not only chooses which Extreme Primal you’ll face, but what handicap will put your best skills to the test!
Thank you,
Shu

I'm sorry, but we won't be allowing outside peripherals to be attached to the PCs (or PS4s).

Will there be any character requirements like beating story or being lv 50?
-
10-11-2014, 04:07 AMMilleFeuilleIf it's anything like the previous events (and it probably will be), you will not be playing with your own character. Instead you will be playing with premade event specific characters.Quote:

From what I've heard, they're usually decked out in pretty good gear, though most times they're missing cross-class skills and you're either not able or not allowed to modify your bars. Don't know if there's any real choice in regards to race/gender, but it's fairly unlikely.

You line up for said event- while in line, staff will group you up into your party. There, you can discuss which of the stations (job) everyone will play as well as your strategy for the fight. There is always going to be WAR, PLD, SCH, and WHM, DPS are usually DRG, MNK, BLM and BRD though I suppose there's a chance they might be throwing NIN into the mix as a special for FanFest.
The characters are premade, so you don't get to choose race, you're only choice is to pick the job you can play best while also allowing other people in your group to pick a job they are knowledgeable/comfortable with. Once you sit down at your station you'll get a few minutes to make changes to your bars to set it up how you like. It's never enough time, and you'll never get the exact setup you want or use at home. You're best option for a comfortable UI is to use the default UI now at home and get a good feel for where all of your actions are so that at FanFest, it seems more familiar to you. -

Can we bring a flashdrive with our char profile saved on it so we don't have to redo our HUD and button set ups, gearsets, and all that stuff?
Edit: if we don't use our own chars, never-mind, wish we could tho. -

I'd imagine the reason outside peripherals aren't allowed is because they present a security risk. However, even without that there's also liabilities. Like how SE can't be held liable if your peripherals are lost, damaged, or stolen.
In the case of flash drives, were they allowed then people could casually attach a drive to a computer and use it to record keystrokes, which they could then use to learn the usernames and passwords to the event accounts. That's just one example of why I think they won't be allowed. -

The premade chars info also answers the question I came here to ask. Guess I won't need to bring my authenticator since I won't be using my char.
Gonna be weird not using my character....my damage on a premade will prob suck because I'm sure what we are doing won't put me in full i110 ;-;
Thanks for this though!
