Taking place on the famous Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles, FINAL FANTASY XI Fan Festival 2006 will be our first multi-day event featuring numerous attractions. The Festival will feature the world premiere of the playable Treasures of Aht Urhgan, the first chance to speak with the development team from Japan, Ballista Royale live championships, an exclusive live concert by official FFXI music group The Star Onions, and much, much more!

As an added bonus, each registered attendee will receive a "gobbie bag" filled with goodies and a special in-game item! Spaces are limited, so buy your tickets today!
Man, Santa Monica Pier is like 15 minutes from my apartment. I'd love to go to this thing (I want a gobbie bag!) but the admission tickets are a little steep ($85 pre-registration, $100 at the door).

Anyone else thinking about going?
