I think it's a great idea.
I'd certainly like to go, except it's in San Francisco, and I'm in Detroit. If it was in, say, Chicago, then maybe I'd be able to scrape together enough funds and enough time to go there. Even if it was in New York or Baltimore I'd try to make it there.
I guess the best suggestion would then be to have more than one party. One for each U.S. coast, one for Europe, one for Oceania, and obviously one for Japan.
The problem, of course, is those of us in the eastern U.S. won't be able to meet our friends from the west. Even so, it'd be nice to have a SE sponsored event closer to home.
Edit: Oh gosh, how could I forget about Canada! They deserve some recognition too! I don't think Japan realizes there's a whole 'nother country north of the U.S. ^_^;

I would vote for also holding parties in other major cities. I would love to attend, but am in Chicago.
I am not going because it is too far, I'm on the east coast.
If it were being held in NYC, I'd more seriously consider going ..
I don't think it's fair that all the events are held so far away.

It's a hell of a good idea and I'd go in a heartbeat (except I'd be booed. I'm Psycho Mantis this year). I wish SE understood they had a lot more customers outside of Japan and CA.
Dont forget the midwest! We need one too! It would accomodate a large group of states as well.
Sounds like it'd be a blast, but unfortunately I live too far away. ; ;
I'd like to see lots of pics, though! ^^

So what do you all think about the FINAL FANTASY XI Masquerade Party?
It sounds like a fun idea to me, but I don't really like parties.
Who is going etc. why or why not?
I'm sure someone is going, but not me; I'm lazy, and I don't feel like driving two or three hours to San Fransico.

If they did a NYC one I'd be all over it. I live like, 2 hours away!! But San Fran?? Way, way too far... :(
Blah blah distance blah blah.
So what sorts of monster plushies are there going to be? Are they exclusive to this event, or will become available for purchase afterwords? No one else on this forum has mentioned plushies, so I'm doing it. I realise that most of the mobs don't have a fanbase like the gobbies do, but I'm sure the all of them have some admirers. I personally love the Sahagin. If you guys could make a sahagin plushie, I'd definatly order one.
Completely switching topics now, ever thought about a "sting opperation" on cannotlinkto? If you're aware of gilsellers, but can't bust them because "their actions are not something the GM's have personally seen," why not devote a few hours to actually trying to catch them? A large part of your playerbase would really appreciate it.

SE should DEFINITELY put on a huge in-game celebration as well. Let's have GM's, especially some of the high-ranked ones, running around partying in the streets! I want to see them introducing themselves, handing out unique items, and shaking some hands. (Well, bowing anyway. ^^) Best of all, how about getting the Devs themselves online, to give panel Q&A sessions on each server? That would be great!
I like this idea as an alternative to the multiple parties. While it would be nice to not have to drive/fly half way across the nation, getting to interact with the brains behind the fun would be a decent substitute.
For the Q&A idea, it may be better to just have people pre-submit questions to a PoL email address.since we all know that it could easily turn into people complaining at the Devs This will allow SE to answer a select few from accross server, while a majority of the questions could be answered in the Vand. Times! I personally want to ask the Devs: "What is the deal with Treasure Hunter? How do I know when it is working?"

Again like most have said distance... way too far for me but as another person said, I would love to see AF costumes xD yes i'm a nerd but hey i luv this type of stuff and would be willing to pay more for a High quality version thanks again and maybe u guys can throw one in Altanta or even better Florida hehe thx again see you in shiva =)
I'm definitely going. No excuse since I live in SF. :)
I'm making a RDM AF costume, and yes, I will be taking lots and lots of pictures to post!
As for the plushy question:
I've seen on their website both goblin and mandragora plushies, quite cute. I'm sure they'll be available after the event as well, probably via Playonline.com. As for me, I'm gunning for the grand prize, the gaming PC!
Looking forward to meeting those of you that are going!

I was all set to go to this one until I had a family emergency and had to spend tons of money going to Colorado. Now I just can not afford it.
The custume party is GREAT idea!
As much as I love having one here on the West Coast I think they may wanna check the addresses of all their players and locate the next event according to that.
One thing I was wondering is are they gonna put any designers there or just customer service people. One of the reason I felt good about spending money on EQ events, beside the fact it was fun but I can have fun allot of way, if the fact they always had designers there and you could ask questions about the game. Not "Will you change this for me" kinda question but there is allot of stuff no one seems to know and the people who get interviews, and publish them, never seem to ask.

Alas, I am unable to go due to the distance. Living in Florida has it's perks, but that definately is not one of them.
Ne. I'm going. I'm going to be a red mage. >.> The reason why I'm going is that it looks like a fun event and that I would just love to go and hang out with a lot of other FFXI fans who know the characters and all. I was getting tired of dressing up and not having anyone recognize who I was other than "a red pimp" lol ^^ The only downside is, most of my Linkshell members are too far away to come with me ><.. lol..
It should be held at various areas ^^ That way other people from around the world can experience this too without having to travel a million miles just to get here @_@

Yeah... I'd definitely go if it were in Detroit or Chicago. I'd consider it if it were somewhere else in the Great Lakes area (including Ontario).
Too far away AND I've already got parties to go to. I don't know why S-E would worry about it, I hope they don't make too big a deal about it ;p
I agree with just about everyone else in this thread= There should be more than one location for this event, because while I would love to go, I am not able, nor particulary willing, to spend the large amount of gil....err $$ required to go there from Texas, accomadations, and plane trip back.
I want the plushies >_<
I'm not sure what I'd come dressed as, but for one of those plushies I would think of something ^_^

Yeah, I think it's a great idea and I'd love to go... but I live in Tennessee. C'mon S-E ^_^; How about Atlanta or Chicago, maybe a St. Louis one even?
I think maybe you underestimate how many people you would draw if you had multiple locations. Sure, you would be spread thinner, but not so thin that you'd have less than, say, a couple/few hundred at each one. Is that enough ^_^;?
/wonders how many Valeforians he would meet at a St. Louie masquerade.

I would love to go, but I just can't. I live in central Illinois, so I would have to take close to an entire week off from school, and spend over $1000 to make it. I think that SE should use some of the billions of dollars they make off one month of FFXI to take this event on a sort of "tour". They may even be able to make a profit off of it if you consider the millions of people who would go times the $30 entrance fee. $o$
They have San Francisco, Chicago, St. Lous, Detroit, Las Vegas (big one!), Cincinatti, Dallas, Orlando, Tampa, New York (BIG BIG one!), Boston, and maybe even Mt. Zion, Illinois!! (my hometown) The fans would love it, they would make a bundle, everyone's happy.

SE is a multibillion dollar company, and can afford multiple parties. What I would like to suggest is that they have one on the East Coast, West Coast and two more in the south. The US is too big for only one event.
Yeah!!!!! Some kind of TOUR around America would be nice... Vancouver, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles etc...
Id go, if i didnt live in sweden.
