In the conversation mentioned earlier, I asked Craig and Al about some of the special units that would be available to the player. The time period is essentially the span of years for the Meiji Restoration. Just to make sure everyone knows, FotS is a standalone expansion for Shogun 2 that is centered on the battle for power between those supporting the Tokugawa Shogunate, and those supporting the return of the Emperor. One of the great moments was when we discussed the background of the game and some of the potential units that players had access to.
After the meet and greet, I was seated at a computer and given the introduction for FotS. Meeting Craig and Al has got to be an achievement, because I certainly felt a little bit more accomplished meeting them. Thoughts: “Who am I? What am I doing? What do I say?” Panic attack. Imagine how I felt when I heard that Craig Laycock and Al Bickham were on the other side of the door. With a friendly handshake and introduction, I was lead to a room where the event would be held. Before I died from my excitement though, I was saved by the fantastic community manager at Sega, Julian Mehlfield. Since this was the first time I had been to Sega, or to any sort of community event, I basically acted like a bewildered tourist. Upon arriving at the Sega of America office, I was first asked to wait in the lobby for about ten to fifteen minutes. Luckily, I was saved when I spotted a game console and a Sega sign in the window of one of the suites. I was greeted with a look of pure confusion when I asked for Sega inside of a cooking school. What was unfortunate was the fact that I accidentally entered the wrong suite when looking for the office. Fortunately, I was able to find my way to the building pretty easily after a quick U-turn here and there. Getting to the event meant about an hour drive to San Francisco, which had me worried that I might get lost in the hellish things they call streets there. Now then, with all of that settled, I’d like to get into the business of talking about the Community Event and FotS.
