Following the very successful Theatrhythm Final Fantasy party, StreetPass NYC will continue its “Summer of Square-Enix” event this July with a celebration of the acclaimed western-RPG from n-Space, Heroes of Ruin, this Sunday, July 22nd at Belvedere Castle in Central Park (79 Mid Park, New York, NY http://www.centralparknyc.org/visit/things-to-see/great-lawn/belvedere-castle.html).
Arriving on the First Balcony starting at 10:00 AM, the rag tag group of merry gamers will trade valued loot in Heroes of Ruin via the Trader’s Network, team up to fight against vicious monsters and partake quests that reap in the riches and experience points one yonder traveler seeks. All who show up to the event between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM will receive a limited edition Heroes of Ruin mini-poster while supplies last.
Beginning at 2:30 PM, a real life test of valor will begin! Brave warriors will be separated into groups of four of their choosing, in which then they will pick among them who is the best Warrior, Gunslinger, Alchitect and Savage. There will be six challenges in total between groups:
Warriors Challenge – Fists will fly and feet like a force of a hurricane will face those selected to a duel of the death.
Gunslinger Challenge – Before one masters thou firearm, one must start with a bow and prove they can hit the targets the fastest.
Alchitech Challenge – One must harvest magic from their surroundings to mend a spell that is quite devastating.
Savage Challenge – Facing the most fearsome beasts ever known, the savages must use their brutality to fend off the treacherous raiders.
Teamwork Challenge – Using all the tools of the trade, one must grab the most gold by the heft of a shell and the fastness of the toadstool.
Nexus Final Challenge – Loading into the Nexus, all must work in unison to complete the special task in the game Heroes of Ruin!
Each challenge a team wins scores them a point with the final challenge scoring two. The team with the highest points will be able to choose from the sweetest of real life booty such as Nintendo 3DS gear and Best Buy gift cards. The winning team will also have their name etched in the glory of history on the official Heroes of Ruin website!

Lol, no one will show up.
Way to be positive.
I'd love to show up. If only I lived near NYC.
Just got the game and am playing solo...pretty good so gar
Thank you, peanut gallery.
We've had plenty of people at all our events, even ones that weren't as publicized or didn't have any special activities going on. If it's the game you're commenting on, we already know of a multitude of people who've bought it, and have even heard that it's becoming hard to find in the NY area. It's not perfect, but it seems to be filling a niche in many players' game libraries.
@Tendonin
Peanut gallery? What? Anyway, I was referring mainly to the game, not-so-much to the event. I'm more than aware that these streetpass meet-ups are usually successful, I was just saying that this one wasn't going to be that successful because of the quality of the game. But if people are honestly buying it in droves, making it hard to find (I have a hard time believing that), then perhaps this event will be successful as well.
@The_King_Up_North
The goal of StreetPass Meet-Ups is not to get as many people as possible but that it was satisfying and joyful for the people who show up. If people show up and they are mad/disappointing with our event then we failed. That did not happen. It has not happened yet. Therefore, please only talk about our meet-ups when you actually know what you are talking about.
