FFXIV: ARR goes Gamescom

[Mjollnir]

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*

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!
