SquareCon

I'm not sure this has been brought up but we need a Squarecon!
I would love to travel to one and get to meet you all wonderful people.
I hope this is something that you all are interested in.
I have been on several con's among them Blizzcon and ccpcon and had a great time and I'm sure you all would have a lot of fun to.
Please make your voice heard.

we do have one, its called the "fanfest"
usually one in Japan, one in Europe and one in the Usa.

There are 3 fanfests prior to each expansion. Those are ff14 specific conventions. Keep an eye out for them in 18 months.

Ahh ok, thank you both of you! Hope to see you all there

In addition to the fanfest for 14 in the past we have had things like Eorzean Symphony in the past for people who like the music.

Probably but now I'm all sad

I think that SE games are far too different, it's not the same as with Blizzard.
SE puts out a lot of generic NA AAA '' cinematic experiences '' games too they're not just making Japanese games and even with the Japanese games there's not necessarily a whole lot of overlap.
But when you add all of it into the mix there's even less.

Blizzard games all have that same Blizzard feel, even if you don't like todays Blizzard that's still true at least in the sense that the games they put out today still feel like they're from the same company.
But with SE?
Not much in common between games like Marvel Avengers, Forspoken and Nier or FFXIV.

I guess in the end, they did want their own Fanfest

it'll most definitely be a superspreader event.
But at this point, hospitals should be more well prepared to deal with it.

Well, now I feel like a dumb ass considering it was even there in black and white in front of me and I did not see it

The footage in the advert for the upcoming fanfests is actually from the past ones for Shadowbringers, where the director was dressing up as the new class (Gunbreaker) https://youtu.be/Plryox-p6SU

To give you a sense of what you might be going to.

It doesn't stop there, because they also go to events such as Gamescom and E3.

You grossly underestimate the game if you thought these events weren't already happening for the last 10 years.

indeed. Well, we all do mistakes, and I was pretty new to the game when I made this post

I work in medical so I'd say... kinda. Lots of places are still understaffed, many quit and the workload hasn't gotten much better.

On the other hand new best practices got implemented, treatment is better since more research has been down, new strains are less lethal and we have vaccinations.

All in all I'd say it's likely to not be cancelled.

Probably won't be canceled but I'd definitely take precautions yourself (anyone who's going) like mask, hand sanitizer, etc. if you're paranoid. I still can't go to pick up a pizza without getting some sort of sickness out of it. @_@

They managed to do the most recent Primals one so they have some experience making it work now.
