Win a limited edition Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary poster!

[Shauna]

Whoop! Congrats to all the winners! Hope we see some of you new faces sticking around! :)

Thanks for setting this up, staff/SE combo - fun and excitement was had. :}

[NorthernChaosGod]

I have an idea! Once we get the posters, let each of us take a picture of themself with the poster and make that our new profile pictures :) That way we'll never forget this :love:

I'll do that. :monster:

[espritduo]

I won one! Despite not doing the latter half of the tasks....gah. I guess that's my way of saying the old FF's were the best FF's. Yeah, that's what it was....

Thanks to Loony BoB for putting this together, and thanks to all of EoFF for being good sports while all of us lurkers/fairweather forum-goers, newbies, and dead people back from the grave flooded the forums! A good time was had by all.

LordKefka, post now to renounce your lurking sins!!

By post now, I hope after the early football games was OK. :p

Yes, I admit to being a long time lurker. When I get into my bouts of needing to delve deep into FF lore, I end up here and a few other places. I am generally more active on Cheapassgamer, but overall I don't find much time to post in my adult life. I do renounce my lurking sins, and will try to make this part of my daily web rotation.

[Raistlin]

I am happy to report that I won a poster. Thanks to the staff for hosting the giveaway and planning such an entertaining event around it.

Good, you can start with actually selecting an avatar.

[Jiro]

I gots one!!!

Can we get a list of the winners in here?

That would be nice! and I'm nosy....

If you, like, read the thread, my dear Lockharted... :monster:

[Flaming Ice]

yep I knew she was gonna be the last one. I bet Bob did that on purpose lol
Pure coincidence, I only noticed about half way through that she was the last on the list!

First in line for unclaimed posters after 72 hours are, in order, rydrum2112, jenovajunkie and Flaming Ice. Sorry guys, you'll just have to hope that some people don't claim their poster. :(

..Had to work all day so I couldn't make it to the chat -/-

[Evastio]

I won a poster, though my 2006-2010 version of myself would've probably assassinated me for giving away my personal info so I could receive the poster...

...like I care about what my 2006-2010 version thinks nowadays!! :D


I think that is a fantastic idea! I'm sure the folks at Square Enix would love to see how many of their fans appreciated this generosity. Congrats again to all the winners.
I'm actually tempted to join in this. Though I should probably also show off my FF patriotism in the picture in some other ways besides the poster. Like cosplay (black mage!!)

[Fynn]

I can't afford cosplay :cry:

[WildRaubtier]

Luckily, you can afford a birthday suit.

[Tsuris]

unbirthday suit as well? wear that all the time and it is (almost) always my unbirthday, got a VERY MERRY unbirthday gift in my email/mognet, thanks (hitchhiker reference time) All Might Bob!

[Loony BoB]

So long as the pictures are decent/suitable for it, I don't have a problem with sending photos of thanks to our contact at Square Enix. For bonus points, hold up some kind of sign saying thanks to SE + EoFF. :)

[Fynn]

Luckily, you can afford a birthday suit.

Oh, you do NOT want to see me in my birthday suit.

[Cloudane]

Not many should want to with me either not that it's always stopped me >_>


While we're gushing in this here thread, I love how to get to EoFF in Chrome, all I have to do is type "home" and press enter :love:

I can do the exact same thing in Firefox now. EoFF is home. :kaolove:

[Loony BoB]

Even IE has such wonders. :)

[Cloudane]

Don't even have to press down-arrow? The other browsers are catching up :D

[Fynn]

I just press "f" and enter and here I am :D

[Drift]

i want a poster!

[Loony BoB]

Too late! At least, for now... :shifty:

[Drift]

BooooooooooooooooooooBBBBBBBBBBBBB! /khan

[Shlup]

How many addresses am I waiting for? I'm gonna start packing them up tomorrow night.

[Nightsintodreams]

How many addresses am I waiting for? I'm gonna start packing them up tomorrow night.

There were 40 winners in total...So 40? Though I think we have 72 hours from the time of drawing to submit our address to you.

[Loony BoB]

Yeah, if they don't get their address to you once 72 hours (ie, three days) have passed from the time I posted the winners into the staff thread, then count off the names of the people who haven't given you their address (and therefore have missed out on their chance). Then replace those names with the people from the next-in-line list in the same staff thread post, asking them to send you an address in order to claim their prize.

Fingers crossed, there won't be that many people who don't claim it at that point, as the members in the next-in-line list are all relatively active.

[Cloudane]

I'm assuming all is okay if we don't receive acknowledgement of the address PM. Which is understandable as it'd be pretty time consuming :)

[Fynn]

I sure hope that's what that is about. 'Cause I am kinda worried my address didn't reach Shlup.

[Shlup]

I have 32 addresses so far. I'll respond when I ship your poster.

[Quindiana Jones]

I sent my PM. Assuming Shlup received it. :D

[yukina]

After years of abstinence from online forums (real life and all, you know), I actually won one! Thanks a lot EoFF and SE! Lurking around for a while made me remember the joy of interacting with gamers, especially since a lot of my friends don't play much. I just bookmarked this site and will try to be as active as I used to be when I was a wee girl with simple dreams. ;)

Will definitely send a picture as thanks for this treat! I chalk this up to serendipity; this surprise came a few weeks after my parents gave me permission to fly for the Distant Worlds concert! Signs that I should get back in the fandom. ;)

[Formalhaut]

I sent my PM. Assuming Shlup received it. :D

I'm sure Shlup has. I'm taking the lack of an answer as a "Yep, address is great"

[Cloudane]

He said here:


I'll respond when I ship your poster.

So tis all good :)

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

I think she.

[Loony BoB]

this surprise came a few weeks after my parents gave me permission to fly for the Distant Worlds concert! Signs that I should get back in the fandom. ;)
Which one are you going to? =o

[Cloudane]

I think she.

Derp. Assumption=Ass-u-me

She, sorry :)

[Rantz]

For the record, when you send a PM, you can request a "read" receipt so you know when they read it. Probably a late suggestion, but hey, keep it in mind for the next giveaway!

The Malaysia concert! I was supposed to fly to the US for the December concert but the schedule was pretty tight (I still have work by then). Good thing a friend found out about the Malaysia one before tickets got sold out :)

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Distant worlds was awesome. Drove all the way to the west side of Michigan to meet arnie and nobuo. They signed my ff6 and ff7 piano sheet music books. Just need to meet hironobu sakaguchi then I can die happy.

[Freya]

Congrats to everyone who participated and to everyone who got involved ^_^ You deserve them!

[Loony BoB]

Also, you can claim Triple Triad cards here if you took part in the tasks. (http://home.eyesonff.com/wonder-square/146007-triple-triad-card-claiming-thread.html)

No news yet whether Nobuo is coming to Malaysia but I'm keeping my fingers crossed! That would be a dream come true :)

[Lonely Paper Star]

Distant Worlds was indeed awesome. I went to it twice because they came to my city two years in a row. ;D. First time around I got to meet Nobuo Uematsu and Arnie Roth. They signed my FFIX Piano Collections book. X3

I'm leaving them marked as unread until I start putting together the shipping labels.

[Rantz]

Well I can't help that you're a lameoid!

[Shlup]

*billiantoid

[Rantz]

:roll2

[theundeadhero]

Trust me guys.
It's better that she hasn't talked to you.

[nectarsis]

ANy of these posters left? *prays* :)

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

are they getting sent yet? I gave shlup my address a while ago.

[Jiro]

Don't worry, we haven't forgotten. It's being organised currently, forty posters is not an easy task.

[Formalhaut]

I'm not worried, forty posters seems like quite a task. By the way, loving your Halloween theme Jiro!

[Jiro]

Why thank you! Thought I would get into the festivities. You're already orange and scary with your current set, so nice job on being prepared ;)

[Goldenboko]

We would also like to send them out all at once so there was the task of waiting for everyone's addresses. :)

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Time ran out on that, right

[Goldenboko]

Yes so they were replaced with different winners who we had to wait for their addresses (it's cheaper to do in bulk).

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Oh how long for the replacements? Still waiting on them?

[Goldenboko]

I'm not sure on the status of all the replacements. Except a few that I actually knew and told me, for the overall timeline I differ to Shlup.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

There's something comically bad about the idea that someone would join the forums just to ask for a poster, win one, and then not give their address back in the time frame.

It's like "So you wanted to win but decided not to stick around to see if you would?"

:monster:

[Loony BoB]

Pretty sure most of them were registered already, but yeah, their loss.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Pretty sure most of them were registered already, but yeah, their loss.

Yeah, I know :p

I felt like pointing it out because it was something I saw myself saying even before the winners were drawn.

[Jiro]

That was a risk they took, and it is no skin off of our noses!

[Shlup]

I'm waiting on three more addresses. I've already started packing the posters.

[opn184]

I'm excited :D Can't wait!

[Formalhaut]

It's finally happening! I can't wait either. I'm still in shock I won in the first place.

[Cloudane]

Guys guys guys!


I'm gonna take a picture of myself wearing nothing but my poster.

GUESS WHAT'S HERE, PICTURE TIME!
Just kidding, I'm clothed! (Well on this version of the pic anyway :p)
http://www.cloudane.com/stuff/ffposter.jpg

Thank you thank you thank you :D

[WildRaubtier]

Wait I wasted 2 weeks of posting here for THAT?

I hope you are secretly a giant giant person and that the poster is much bigger to us old regular non-giants.

[Cloudane]

It's bigger than it looks!
How many times do I need to use that excuse ;_;

[Fynn]

I didn't get mine yet. Should I be worried?

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Maybe. I was getting worried and was thinking about it Sunday morning and my dad says oh you got a poster yesterday. On eBay they go for $20 but one was sold for $200. I'm definitely keeping mine unless someone on here really wants it.

[Jiro]

Dude that poster came to you via Square Enix and Eyes on Final Fantasy and was touched by Shlup. I'm never letting it go! (when it eventually gets here of course.)

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

oh right jiro is in australia. oh no then it will take a few months? :(

[Depression Moon]

Well congrats to those who won.

[Formalhaut]

I've got my Poster guys! I'll send up a photo when I have the time.

I was getting slightly worried too, but I guess international shipping and stuff right? Nevermind. I'm stoked!

[Night Fury]

I GOT MINE TODAY

[Shauna]

*cough cough* (http://home.eyesonff.com/general-chat/146395-picture-thread-poster-winning-submissions.html) We should use this thread guys. xD

Indeed we should! So I'm going to take the liberty of closing this. If you've won a poster please use the picture thread Shauna linked to. :)
