Lack of Pax Prime

[BeePee]

So last year SE held a big event for FFXIV at Pax Prime.

This year at Gamescon they also held an event, complete with Trial challenges. This was also featured as an event on the anniversary website...

They also have Pax Prime listed on the anniversary website, leading folks to believe something's planned...

And the big reveal?!



Yup, that's right! Cardboard hats on a table at the SE booth...

Bummer.
But at least we got a whole lot of other stuff going on.

[Titor]

I really want that chocobo hat

Isn't this only Day 1 of Pax for them?

We still have 3 days left.

[Pantz]

Still waiting for FF15...

Even per Bayonne, we're getting nothing: https://twitter.com/mattalos/status/505156042989129728

Last year they didn't have their own show that is for all things Final Fantasy (in America). A show that is just a little more then a month away. Why would they share big announcements at PAX? Would kind of defeat the reason to go to their show.

[BeePee]

Haha, I'm not asking for a presentation or announcements...

Just something more along the lines of gamescon; an actual presence at Pax where people could challenge Laviathan or maybe even Greg. Get one of those cool "I beat 'insert challenge name'" shirts.

[Krr]

PAX is rapidly becoming oversaturated with every major company trying to get 'their game' on the show floor, so it doesn't surprise me that FFXIV's space is smaller than last year.

Eh, I could understand going from last year's whole conference room down to like a single screen or something, but there was nothing at all this year. Hell, WoW and ESO both had amazing displays...
