FFXIV comes to gamescom 2016 with Battle Challenges, Battle Arena, signing sessions, free loot and more!

Feel free to use this thread to discuss the event, organize parties for the battles, etc.

(August 17 to 21)

[EDIT] I set the suggested sort here to "new" which should help with organizing parties.

Europe’s biggest computer and video game show, boasting over 335,000 visitors, is in for another round in Cologne, Germany from August 17 to 21 and FINAL FANTASY XIV will be there!

We’ll be offering more action than ever before at our two amazing booths, where you can test your mettle and grab tons of sweet loot, including the coveted “I BEAT...” t-shirts - or maybe you’ll be lucky and grab some of the other fantastic items we’ll be giving away!

On a subreddit-related note, we're looking for feedback on the sidebar.
