Here's to hoping for some nice surprises!

[Spira]

anyone else see the newsletter?

its like, just for the sake of hyping people

at least we know there will be teasers before the event

[Toth]

Something to look forward to at least. The complete lack of version update teasers has been troubling but maybe, just maybe, they are saving all of the info for Vanafest and then surprising us with a March update. Pipe dream I know.

Still, this does look like fun to watch :D

[Trigun]

I know he didnt get a ticket but where the f*** is Elmer?

I am shocked that SE is officially speaking up and recognizing the discussions of a large-scale expansion. How can they afford to even MENTION this unless it really is a full expansion? Anything less will surely disappoint.

I can think of something else that was announced near the last VanaFest, and could be happening at the end of February regarding FFXI, but then again it might

Spoiler: show

I've said too much already

SE: And now I present to you the special anouncement you've all been waiting for! *drags the curtain*
Fans: ... Wut?
SE: I present to you, a real-life size Altana statue! Purchasable for ONLY $3000 and comes with an in-game item granting you a new emote!

Either that or a new mini expansion featuring Cid. You heard it here first.

[Ksandra]

Big surprise:

[NervosaEternal]

I DEMAND BLOOD!

[Midnightjade]

Yay, that means new pics of the design team, ammunition for the old SageSundi thread:

[fusionx]

I'm personally glad to see they're going to be doing live coverage.
I'll be interested to see how they're going to expand on just a simple live blog like JPbutton and FFXIclopedia/Pet Food Alpha have done at events in the past.

[quannum]

the new ffxi avatars will be unlocked w/ a one-time key that comes with ffxiv

[NervosaEternal]

We ganna havta pay 20 dollars each for 4 total expansions downloadable via Playonline viewer, each expansion will be 30 quests long, all quests similar to gay farming acp like missions, after each completion you unlock one new avatar. i can see it now.
