East Coast US Love

You could host your own community event, you know. >_>

Not everyone going to go for one made by players the point of it all is to get inside info on the game and a ingame item and see info being release 3-6+ month later in the game.

Lots of popular websites have community gatherings. Also, it wouldn't be hard to make your own limited prizes. >_> Like Custom Shirts or maybe a Sculpture of a Goobbue eating a Raptor.

If you want information why bother going to an event? it will all be publicized later anyhow.

So why do people really want something like Vanafest?

Screw compromise, they should have a fanfest all over the US and Europe at different times of the year. Also it be somewhere convenient or equal for everyone not in freaking NY or NY only unless they did one in NY and one in Atlanta. Same goes for Central North America.

i don't know you get to meet the team? the point is that it's a real event not a made one by some ppl that only 10ppl even go too and no one going to waste money to make Shirt and only 10-15 show up. Just like E3 and blizzcon it nice that ffxiv have it own event with ffxi also to meet the team and the info they give only giving in That event everyone else have to wait for ppl to post it online.

They even have events like ffxi had PVP that each server fight each other on a server they made all of this is pretty good stuff that real ppl don't have money to do.

Why would people even be against this kind of thing? Seriously I think some people just fight against stuff because they want to start fights not because they have a point of view on the actual debate. This isn't even debate worthy its just a suggestion that if they continue to do Fanfests in the US to do one on the east coast as well eventually.

Lots of websites have unofficial meet-ups. >_> And lots of people usually go just to hang out and meet up with their colleagues.

Waste money? Why would you consider it a waste? If a community meet is a waste of money then so too would any event officially hosted by SE, no? It's not like they are making money off the game...

wow you just don't get it do you? The point is that SE is there a cummunity meet up is pretty much the same thing but not as fun as when SE is really there hosting it. Community meet up are fun if for say you going to a park in FL or CA then yes but really the fun part about it is that it's SE being there giving us a bag of fun stuff like a mouse pad or something and a ingame item that you went to the event which are alway cool the overall point is

Community meet up are fun but

Fanfest = SE which you can ask question and so on and i'm talking about years down the road when FFXIV become P2P game and it been out for more then 3years

@Cairdeas am not even fighting just saying that Fanfest are better becuase SE is there vs just a cummunity meet up which a small amount of players from the same world.

I wouldn't mind having a get together of some type in Atlanta or Jacksonville in the future with players. I know Cairdeas from FFXI from Asura I believe or Remora server. There are other people I knew from XI and XIV that would be awesome to meet up and hang out talk, even if it was an SE based event, though I do prefer it was hosted by SE.
