    Where can we order Market Wards queue survivor T-shirts?

    Fan Fest was great, one small issue caused a lot of people pain though... thousands of people trying to purchase items with only one cash register. Me and a friend only went to the Market Wards 10 minutes after the opening event finished and got into a line which stretched through the entire building. Where we queued, and mainly stood for four hours before we got in.

    To make matters worse, those which got there later than us had times up to six hours, as you can guess. This meant we missed out on a good amount of content available at the fan fest and had to rush around in order to even see every activity available.

    The biggest slap in the face however was the lack of communication from the staff members, nobody in the queue had any idea what was going on and most people were queueing for the Delivery Moogle which was thought to be an item only obtainable from the Fan Fest, no staff members came up to us and informed us that the Square Enix store was updated with the items at the event, else most of us would not have had to suffer for prolonged periods of time.

    Yoshi walked down the queue and apologised to everyone a few hours in but that was the only compensation we had for this lack of foresight and bad management. I suggest we get some Market Wards queue survivor T-shirts!

    Apart from that.. the Fan Fest was good and I enjoyed it after the queue of doom was over.

    I remember staff coming by from time to time to tell us that Market items would be available in the online store, but no one left the queue. I guess we were all hoping that people ahead of us would leave. Still, we were not sure if everything would be available in the online store, and if it included in-game codes, and anyway, an item bought at the Fan Fest has sentimental value, and is like loot to take home.

    I saw people leave 20 steps away from the cash register ....
    And I always knew that the most important things (artbook and moogle) will be obtainable online.

    The ONLY compensation? I got to put my arm around yoshida and have a picture taken with him. Others got an Autograph. (just could get one not both :P)
    Considering that normaly would have been VIP only, it was worth to wait moe than 3 hours. And I met some nice people with whom I tried Odin and beat Gilgamesh

    I was stuck in the queue for about 4 hours too, I was pretty pleased with Yoshi P's autograph though, and my boyfriend and I kept tagging out to look around. Still it stopped us doing some of the things at the event so I was pretty annoyed at the time, I really wanted to get loot while I was there because it seemed more special some how. It was an awesome day other than that, but queue survivor t-shirts would be hilarious xD
