Ok, since ppl start talking about the Games Convention...
Sure, Games Convention IS really big, but SE's presence on the last one was... well... laughable. I agree, I got my version of FFXI (incl. all AddOns) on the GC 07, they did a lot of commercial for the game, for WoTG Addon etc. It was fun, I made lots of fotos with the mithras and staff members. I also got an autograph of Tanaka-sama (>^_^)>
But on the last GC, 08, they created some new Accounts on Kjata server, of course they all were lvl 75, had nice equipment (as long as you can call full AF1 "nice equipment") and had an Airship Pass, Aht Urghan access and Chocobo Licence. But they all had no Gil, Ninja Tools, Ammo or food. Ppl had no idea what to do, where to go or even how to control the chars. I was there with some ppl from my current social LS. I was so disappointed, not only because of FFXI, but because of the whole SE stuff. There were test versions of Infinite Undiscovery, Chrono Trigger and FFIV DS, which I've been playing for more than 4 months, since I preordered the US versions of those games. Europe is alway the last to get newest games from SE, even now when region codes are no more. I don't know much about that localization stuff, but I can't imagine, that some games need less than 2 weeks and some more than 6 months to reach Europe.
There also was an European Community Team member (well, he said he was one of them) and we've been talking to him for about 2 hours. We asked him to give us our accounts and let us do an assault, a mission fight or let us call our LS together and kill something really big just to show and explain the GC visitors how this game works, but he refused.
Well, that's for GC 08. This year the GC is going to get splitted. I don't know the reasons, but one part is going to be in Cologne and the other one will stay in Leipzig. SE didn't say which one they're going to be present on, but I fear that their presence this year will be even lesser than the last one ._.
I won't show mercy on you now...
