New Fireworks Idea

[Ramsos]

Everyone has seen the fireworks that have the words "Congratulations" in them, would it be possible to make that type of firework where we choose our own phrase instead?

I had the idea today while in abyssea. Some people full wiped to a mob, so I took it, they started claiming that I stole it from them. My first thought was that it would be a perfect occasion for a firework that read "Cool Story Bro" in rainbow colors with a bunch of exclamation points.

With all the doom and gloom thats going on with the new payment fiasco, this seems like something that might cheer people up.

cool idea, but be limited to stuff that isn't forum lingo. :)

[Karbuncle]

There'd likely have to be some limitation, I mean, I know people still say it but having a firework come up and explode saying "F**k you" or something wouldn't be good.

wouldn't mind more selections, Also, Add FFXI Victory Fanfare to the "Congratulations" Firework! (They can add music to fireworks/items :X)

The congrats one is a static animation, would take quite a fair amount of programming to be able to make it parse the way you are asking.

Also the main use for them would be trolling as you suggested, don't think it's the best thing to add lol

Wait wait wait.



Wait.



Wait.



There's a "Congratulations" firework?

[Nianny]

I'd like this but in my opinion it'd have to have some limits like Karbuncle said. :)

[Urthdigger]

I do think it'd be amusing to have a firework that says "STFU NOOB". I'd buy whole stacks of that.

[Panthera]

Trolls and explosives are a volatile combination...

Wait wait wait.



Wait.



Wait.



There's a "Congratulations" firework?

Yes. They're VERY rare. They were only available during the 2nd Adventurer Appreciation event... so maybe 2004? They cannot be synthed or bought in any manner.

I have three still... I'm saving them for something - but I don't know what yet.

Wiki is saying "Popper" gives the same effect - which is actually purchasable, but the image shown for Popper is the same as the one shown for "Cracker". The "congratulations" firework is called Crackler, not Cracker. Cracker is a much more common firework than Crackler. I'll check it out later to be sure.

[Francisco]

Okay, I checked it out. Popper - which you can buy from the chests in Metalworks, Chateau and probably Heaven's Tower for 650 gil each - have the same effect as Cracklers. So they are the "Congratulations" fireworks. I think Cracklers have a "2" after the "Congratulations".

I'm buying some and saving them for the next time I see someone wipe or waste a brew in abyssea.

This has been my thought process the whole time. Very cool.

Oh! How I would love to see a return of the Crackler Firework!!!
