    Japanese FFXI event?

    Anyone know whether this is just another Fan Festival? Nov 3 I figured maybe it had something to do with the expansion being released. Forgive if this has been posted before I couldn't see it any where.

    I see someone's finally captured a picture of the elusive taru-eating leeches of San d'Oria...

    Were it possible to train leeches to do that, Atum would immediately level Beastmaster just for the snacks.

    Luckily he's a chef so he can use his highly desired craft to synth mithkabobs to ward them off

    It's for an event called "Altana Matsuri" (Altana Festival). Can't read most of the kanji, but seems that it's just a one evening event.

    Thanks man, if I had to make a educated guess it's a fanfest.

    I'm hoping that either it'll be announcing the release or possibly that we'll find out later that the Japanese fanfest will coincide with the release date. Though with the update schedule I'd guess more like the expansion will be out earliest by the mid to end of Nov.

    They might kill AV on the fanfest
    or is that the one in the US they'll do that?

    I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it was a NA interview where they said they'd do it at the fanfest. Yet they sounded on the fence about it, hopefully Bercus can beat some sense into them.

    Probably it's gonna be some lame way to kill it ..

    Re: Japanese FFXI event?

    Only two possible outcomes to developers attempting AV at the fanfest, both are equally "lulz" worthy:

    1) They manage to kill it, but in an asinine manner using godly equipment and an incredible alliance setup under controlled conditions on a test server. This of course proving nothing for us mortals who can't summon perfect conditions right out of thin air.

    or

    2) They fail miserably and mumble something about "doing research" and skulk off, Sundi looks up, says "I don't know" and AV questions are never answered again. (were they ever?)

    Now that I think about it, there's always a third possibility:

    3) They fake it.

    Re: Japanese FFXI event?

    Well I thought they mentioned they would reveal the way to beat AV at the fanfest all the while only using an 18-man alliance.

    Obviously the gear would be godly, any other variables than that would be bullshit.
