Aloha =)

Did you just announce the Gilgamesh EX battle to be coming soon ( when he finally use all his arms ) ?

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

Also, the the PvP and Extreme is in one booth, while the "daily changing battle challenges against Leviathan, Ramuh and Gilgamesh" is in another booth.

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.

@Sasunaich - Will fans at Gamescon get any free items like Fan Fest?

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

Will there be new news regarding FFXIV at Gamescom?

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 ?

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*

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
