Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival.

I dream of this for the future!

Has anyone been to a FFXI Fan Fest?
Please share. :-)

It'd be cool, but if its anything like the XI ones it'd probably be somewhere really far from me like California (and Japan) and they'd all get awesome exclusive items and I'd have to send radioactive jealousy vibes out to all the people that got those items.

Thats why I want to hear some peoples stories! To see if its worth travelling from Australia :-)

I went to Vana'fest in 2009 and got the Nomad Cap. Was lots of fun, well worth the flight to California from Indiana. :)

Yes! I would want one of these so bad...

But I assume nothing of this sort will happen at least until after 2.0 is launched and (hopefully) successful.

i work for a tradeshow exhibit company and would love to help with this :O been thinking about something like this myself.

Would be awesome, I heard they were quite extravagant from friends back in ffxi. Couldn't really afford travelling to Japan or American from the UK though, but if I had enough of a warning with a ffxiv fan fest I would seriously consider super saving to go. Super noodles, breakfast, lunch and dinner, Mon-Sun {do you need it?}.

I never went to one of the FFXI fests, but I wanted to so bad! I'd go to a FFXIV fest in a heartbeat!

hmm stuffz is brewin!

I think it would be so cool! I watched videos of the earlier fan fests and the later vanafest they looked awesome. I found an announcement for FFXI 2012 vanafest! A decade of FFXI! Wow can't wait to see XIV in a decade.

Plus It means I would get to meet the people I play with in RL.
Oh the fun to be had!

Went to 3 of them I think, or was it 2... I think was 3.... anyways Got 2nd place in Tarutaru race in Fanfest and won a stereo set lol + got to see Tanaka and all of them :) - It's fun little event get to see players on your LS from other states and people you didn't really like in game but actual person in RL was nice and stuff, it's pretty cool to go to.

The special battle events and stuff also is fun, only ones I really didn't care but did anyways was the live quest thingie where you have to participate in real quests to talk to people and answer questions and stuff.

And the mini concert at the end was cool imo lol

Bring it on! I cant wait!
I keep bumping this thread because i would like to hear moar experiences :-)
