Fan Fest 2008

[Correction]

Looks like only 2000 people showed up last year. Cutting it down to one day may reflect attendance expectations for this year's show.

[Legend]

Some girls do go there, you can't tell if they are cosplaying a lusty RDM or Barney though =/.

lol..

I dunno if that pic is trying to prove me right or wrong? I see 3 mediocre looking girls (first one looks like a rat) and some Richard Simmons looking guy in the middle.

[Arthars]

cutting it down to 1/2 a day u mean

since first 1/2 of day will be spent on AV Q&A

[Titanss]

I wanna go









and fuck a nerdy girl

Except they where turning people away at the door because they didn't have enough tickets.

Its probably only 1 day to avoid 2 days of having to dodge AV questions.

SURE I'D LOVE TO G.... OH SHIT WEST COAST LOL

Whatever happened to the BG road trip to Fanfest? I'd totally be in on that!

[Tahngarthor]

Staying anywhere near hollywood for a couple days is most likely insanely expensive.

[Ceiyne]

Holy crap, I figured they weren't going to have one this year since they hadn't said anything yet...

One day is kinda sucky though, I don't know if I want to fly out there from Florida just for one day of Fan Fest without even a new expansion pack to play before release.

[Jkun]

That PUP is hardcore.

HARD. CORE.

But seriously if I hear one more thing about AV in this thread I'm going to cap a bitch.

[Antithesis]

why are these always in CA? ; ;

Seriously I know what the fuck. Give some love to the people on the East coast...

"only?"

tickets sold out. They can only have so many people at an event like this.

lol..

That DRG is gimp. Is that Jaridah gear?

[Correction]

The other way to look at it is that they have therefore cut the budget for fan-appreciation celebrations in half with only one day of events planned. It'll be 2 hours for lunch, yell at the dev team for an hour, then Star Onions and yay go home.

[Indalecia]

I'll be honest: I wanted to just jump the carby chick and stick it in. Prolly won't make this one, tho.

We did have some cute taru's running around tho lol.

I'm ready for some in-game only item that will make me look cool the day after the event! >.>

[Silenka]

That's totally Jaridah.

I know it doesn't help the bitching any, but JP-based events are ALWAYS on the west coast because it's closer to Japan. Add to that the fact that the whole gaming industry basically is situated in the west coast, as well as Square's own NA headquarters, and you've got the reason they're never going to come to the east coast. Gaming convention + Japanese guests = Califorina bitches.

[Kriz]

One day? That hardly makes for an adventure. Hell, more a weekend excursion. And Hollywood has to be massively expensive even versus Disneyland Anaheim.

Of course, you could technically just skip over there and come home without skipping a beat.

Depends on their hat selection

[Corrderio]

Why does that mithra DNC look like she just wants to get the f*ck out of there?

In all honesty though. I think these fanfests are kind of a ripoff. Why pay money for a ticket to enter the fanfets. And if you live nowhere near CA an airplane ticket just for information that'll be posted by ppl that went there within a couple of hours?
