Looks like SE is apologizing to them for something, something about a nomad moogle rod, and other things. could we get a translation?

Looks to me like they're apologizing that the Moogle Rod was unavailable to Japanese players (since it was only given at the California Event), and that they are (were at this point) making it available at the Tokyo Games Show event.

it would only make sense for them to give a "moogle rod" to those that attended the VanaFesta since we got one for attending the Fan Festival in LA.

Technically, yes, but the idea that someone's going to pay for a plane ticket to California from Japan on top of the cost of admission/hotels/food/etc. just for a moogle rod is a bit weird. Really rich Japanese players had a chance at the moogle rod, I guess, but given the average age of most of us, I'm not gonna bet that there were too many Japanese players hanging around the event.

HEY! If I'd had known that I would have gotten the Nomad Moogle Rod from going to Japan, I would paid for the Vanafest for Japan.
I wanted to dual wield moogle rods... :(

This actually applies to US gamers as well. Not everyone lives in The LA area, or even California for that matter. If this is an apology for not getting them a chance to get it, I want an apology for not bringing it to anywhere near I live and give me a chance.

I'm surprised S-E can resist the urge to venture further into RMT and just sell the rods to Japanese players like they did with all the non-attending NA ones.

I'm just glad I didn't know about the BC fight against Shantotto, otherwise I would've been tempted to fly to Japan just for the chance of killing her... :vent:

Looks to me like they're apologizing that the Moogle Rod was unavailable to Japanese players (since it was only given at the California Event), and that they are (were at this point) making it available at the Tokyo Games Show event.

They were planning to give the rod to the randomly drawn people out of those who completed the survey at the TGS, but there were too many people trying to do the survey than expected, and that made SE's booth too crowded and could affect the entire TGS if that continued as it had, so they decided to discontinue it. That's what they're appologizing to.

In addition to those who completed the survey at TGS who are already subject to the drawing, JP players will have an opportunity to complete the survey on POL Viewer for the chance to win the rod. While the chance to win for those completed the survey at TGS remains the same (as per the original win/lose ratio), for those who will do it on POL, there will be more rods availbale than originally planned.


Online survey will be conducted as follows;

Location: FFXI's Top page
From: 10/4 around 14:00
To: 10/5 around 14:00

Times are JST, and you must have a JP POL Viewer to complete the survey. Further, as it requires the character's name/world for the purpose of delivery of the rods, I assume the account must also be JP, although it only states "you must be a user of Japanese version to participate."
