Knowing SE's track record for NA/EU friendliness, This sounds like 2-6 month postpone... At earliest.

Perhaps this delay has something to do with the ongoing problem with the Festive Moogle and temporary removal of the Dealer Moogle for the same reason.

The main post said it was going to be delivering the item via Delivery Box, not Festive Moogle or Dealer Moogle.

Indeed; so is the delivery mechanism on the JP side as well. Though directly unrelated, since this event seems to be fashionably related to the 10-year anniversary/Vana Fest palooza, I thought "they" would want to handle things one step at a time.

I realize I'm pulling excuses out of thin air.

I seriously hope it isn't a legal issue.

Greetings everyone,

Please accept my apologies for the last minute announcement. The VanaFest Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway has been slightly postponed. As of now, we cannot yet confirm the start date, but it will be coming soon! Please be patient until we release further details on the event start time.

Thanks again for your patience and your understanding.

Camate's still trying to think of a question

[Gropitou]

Who knows, SE might be second-guessing itself about offering so much to japanese players and screwing NA/EU players with just 1 participation per account. Naw.... we'll get screwed.

It gets delayed by 1 day every time someone makes up a word in these forums. The word you were looking for is 'you'.

[Randwolf]

Guessing there is either a major flaw in the prize program itself or technical difficulties.

And, my third and cynical guess is that the program has been deemed too generous by someone and they are trying to figure a way to reduce the number of prizes or exclude prizes already offered without having it look that way.

Hmmm, assuming I understand what you mean correctly...

~taps the sign below~

Just to be clear, this isn't a replacement for the Mog Bonanza in-game event. The Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway is the NA/EU alternative event to the Nomad Mog Bonanza being held for Japanese players.

~and the next one, too~

The Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway is the alternative event for NA and EU users that are unable to participate in the Nomad Mog Bonanza. There isn't a Japanese version of the GGG, as they have the Nomad Mog Bonanza.

If you still don't see what I mean, that is the fact that they are two completely different things, and thus “they got it, why don't we” makes little sense, no? ^^
