Just in case you all missed the official announcement on PlayOnline, the North American Community Team will be making an excursion over to the far eastern lands of Yokohama, Japan to cover VanaFest 2012 scheduled to take place June 23rd-24th!

It's been two years since Devin and Matt from the North American Community Team set out on their adventure to Tokyo to cover VanaFest 2010 for the community. They were able to bring all of the hottest news straight from the development team to the adventurers around the world. In the two years since then, FINAL FANTASY XI has evolved by leaps and bounds and the level cap was raised to 99. Well, they too have leveled up to the max to bring you even bigger and better coverage this year.

Yes, the intrepid duo plan to set out once again on a quest to bring everyone the hottest news, craziest revelations, jaw-dropping-est... things that happen at VanaFest 2012! You better believe that there will be tweets. You can guarantee that there will be videos. And you can bet that there will be contests!

Stay tuned for all of the details as we unravel their plans for the future!

What this didn’t mention is that we will actually be live streaming the whole thing and giving Community Team digests covering the information and exciting things taking place at the event!

Hope you are all looking forward to this and we will be giving you updates as the event draws near!

Last Vanafest they had a portion devoted to XIV. I wonder if they will again this year.

They are making me work behind-the-scenes because they are afraid I might take all of their spotlight!

I won't be by my lonesome at the NA office though, Okipuit joined "Team Community" so we'll be tag-teaming all of the back-end work while Camate and Bayohne are at VanaFest.

sorry to hear that Rukirii

just testing something...

Posting quotes from the XI boards on teh XIV boards gives our Reps different pictures which lead to character accounts... are these our reps actual characters!?

Camate: Sivraj Armond

Rukkirii: Sindy Marfy

Bayohne: Thanos Xiv

Probably not but weird all the same.

Wow, I've seen Bayohne around Durandal. Though I think only back when it was Rab?

Odds are no since E3 will cover XIV in June. Vanafest is suppose to be about the future of XI so involving XIV in any way would just take away from the focus on 11.

=) o_O =( =x

See no reason to have FFXIV stuff at Vanafest personally seems like a wasted effort, show it all at E3 and the Live Producer letters.

[Thanos]

Well they should have a bit of stuff for FFXIV I think

Seriously guys go to the quoted posts, they arent even rep posts on here or the FFXI forums, you's all falling for a troll thread.



See I can do it as well, magic O.o

Delsus, go visit the FFXI forums, and read one of the rep posts. "Reply with quote" to it and copy the text and post it here. For some reason it assigns not the reps avatar and character info on this forum.

I'm not trolling, just maybe i found a glitch in the system. I think it's highly unlikely that these are truly the reps characters. I posed a question, not a factual answer.

As far as Vanafest being XI only. I do recall them saying Vanafest would be an event for both XI and XIV back in 2010. Will they continue this I dunno.

Having a 2 day event devoted solely to XI seems kinda wasted effort if they don't PR some of their other online FF games.
