WTF? Home of the Texas A&M Aggies? I could not think of a worse place to have a convention dealing with FFXI, RPGs, etc. than Aggie-land. They probably thought it was going to be about Madden, Halo, (insert random sports/shooter game played by drunken rednecks) and proceded to beat people randomly like a roaming pack of wild boars.

Oh wait, I get it now. RL Besieged! Defend the festival from the Barefoot Horde!

LOL that's right. I didn't even want to go cause of it being in College Station. Not a big fan of Aggies myself either...hopefully next time they'll put it in a better city, if we ever get another chance. Houston/Dallas/Austin would be the best choices, and we can just hope for now.

meeting the rest of you guys (PiNG, Akosy, Omniblast, etc.) was up there too,

I have to agree, meeting friends (although I wish i'd known you guys were there, could've at least said Hi.) was the best part of fan fest. Of course, trying out beseige was pretty awesome too... not to mention proving I knew more than pretty much everyone in my group with that quiz was nice too. Of course, I got my ass kicked at Mandragora drawing...

Anyone else remember that REALLY FREAKING RETARDED dude that had the taru BLM at chair 1? God I wanted to kick his ass. Eventually got to control that character...while they were showing a movie of something else -.- Really wanted to show him how you play a BLM (HINT: IT'S NOT BY RUNNING FACE FIRST INTO A FUCKING UNDEAD TOAD YOU MORON.)

Anyone else still have their fanfest caps? I've got mine in my closet right now. Also using my fanfest mousepad right now, with a backup one around here somewhere.

Lol, losers. For what, a Brady Games guide?! (A group of like 15-16 from my server is having dinner in a nice heated patio on the left side of the picture)
EDIT2: Lol, the bastok sign went for 200$? I think my friend bought teh Fenrir flag...for about 400-500, i'd have to ask.

I own Remora.

3rd place Live Quest

Team Ambition

Mithra tail ftw

Time to dupe some gil

Gobbie Aggro

N00b got pwned by gobbie.

Most of all, was meeting most of the people here, there... (PiNG, neighbortaru & his wife, Akosygin) Made some friends from Lakshmi. Oh, 3 person Hero's Battle vs. the three heroes from all 3 nations. I still have my cordial invite, anyone from Remora wanna have some fun with them?

Yeah I'd love for another Fan Festival. Can we get the Nomad rod this time? I need to collect both rods. Dual Wield Moogle Rod & Nomad Rod, 100 fists, let's go!

Oh location did suck, can we have it at the Los Angeles Staples Center or Los Angeles Convention Center for the next one?

I think everyone can fit into Kentia hall & We'd have kick ass restrooms.

The only thing I would use an xbox controller for is anchoring my boat. Or as a Bat-Grapple.

I would love it if they would do a fan convention somewhere on the east coast or atleast about around that area. I'm not really willing to fly anywhere for a convention and I'd prefer not to have to drive too far.

I've been going to Otakon here in MD the passed few years and it rocks so I could only imagine how cool a FFXI convention would be. Personally I'd be satisfied with maybe like a magazine or something though. I mean it wouldn't be so difficult for them to print up some monthly updates/interviews and so on and mail it out would it?
