FFXIV: ARR goes Gamescom

[ExKage]

I can't go to Gamescom but....

But wait, what was that? PvP at Gamescom? Yessir, that’s correct Sir, you will be able to play in a full party of 8 players, practice your Frontline skills and get to challenge mighty opponents in a decisive battle on the Cartenau Flats. Be victorious and /need on some awesome loot!

What loot? T_T

Fancy RL loot you might not want to miss out on. Maybe you can sneak into the venue ?

Gilgamesh isn't a Primal though, and the only Extreme I see in the text are Extreme Primals...

Gilgamesh IS a Trial, however, just like all of the Primals.

EDIT: As was said above, perhaps the Bard in the 7th Heaven Bar will be singing a story about the Gilgamesh fight that will be hilariously more difficult than the actual encounter?

Eventually maybe, but it was already confirmed that it's not any such this time.

So I hadn't planned on going to Gamescom this year. However, the kids are away with their grandparents that weekend, so...

I mean my wife is expecting a romantic weekend for the one time in the year we get to spend together without the kids around.

I can just imagine...

"What's this surprise, honey? Wow! Two plane tickets! . Hotel booked in Cologne you say... Well ok..."

*turns up at Koelnmesse*

"I can't believe you did this!! Well fine, you can spend a couple of hours here looking at all the fun stuff, but then we're leaving. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT TO SIT IN THE QUEUE FOR THE FINAL FANTASY XIV BOOTHS FOR FOUR HOURS AT A TIME?!?! I WANTED TO GET YOU AWAY FROM THAT BLOODY GAME FOR ONE WEEKEND IN THE YEAR!!!"

*receives notification the next week from the wife's solicitors*

but at least I won't have missed out on an exclusive t-shirt/jute bag/sweatband/etc.

*stares lovingly at weird LED fan thing, mouse mat and cheap FFXIV-branded gamepad*

Aloha =)



O.O I don’t think so. Neither additional legs nor additional arms or heads or other future implementations that might or might not happen =p Nope, definitely didn't announce any implementations for the game Gamescom news only I fear. Please forgive me



This is correct. The battle challenges will be on one booth and will change daily. So on one day you might get to challenge Leviathan while on the next day you get to play with Ramuh etc. whereas PvP and the extreme mode primal battles will happen on the other booth.


I guess there is one way to find out See you at Gamescom

Will there be new news regarding FFXIV at Gamescom?

Dear Mjollnir and wife,

That's why our Moogles invented the battle Arena VIP ticket system mentioned in my first post XD

Good point. Hopefully that'll sway her decision!

[Mjollnir]

Bloody hell, it actually did. However, I got home to an e-mail from GamesCom sent earlier yesterday saying they'd sold out!

Any ideas on how I can get in to the event would be appreciated (eg if anyone has a spare pair of tickets that the name can be changed on). There are just four seats left on the flight I need to take back to England on the Sunday, so the sooner the better...

edit: plans are coming together!

Hey Sasunaich, you really make my day! I'll send my mail for the Xtreme battle in a bit!

Quick question(s):
1. Will you provide premade characters or can we play with our own char?
2. Are there any press opportunities? I'll be going to Gamescom as press for the whole week
