It's been 10 years or so now. Almost everyone has seen these events come & go. Why not keep the low level version , and also have a higher level version also available that has stats that are at all relevant/useful. Social gear has it's place for sure, but it would be nice to see some of this pretty stuff worn on more than people's bank alts.

What we need is to consolidate the event stuffs, bats hearts pumpkins and goldfish, all on a Santa bathing suit.

Going by that, it would need to be all jobs except PUP and MNK.
Other MMOs actually make event gear somewhat useful, not top tier gear but not so bad that you would never use it outside of looks.
Don't see why FFXI can't have this.

It would be great if they made it stack or combined it into 1 piece of gear somehow. As it is, I never use it because once I give it to the storage moogle, I completely forget it exists.

I wouldn't mind some augments of your choice on them. Just to make sure they don't put "Cure potency +9%" on the samurai sword or something.

Because it would be fun and cool and actually require work to develop?
These are all of SE's least favorite things.

I don't quite understand this topic, you're asking for "fashion gear" that is actually USEFUL? The folly..Utterly preposterous to think SE would EVER think of mixing those 2 together, it's always been, the prettiest gear is the most useless while the most terrible looking gear is popular, look at things like Kyodogi, back in the day people spend millions for that thing, and it was NEVER good, but it looked awsome. and things like weskit for blm made you look like a deranged amazon but it was the best nuking peice before morrigans.
Alot of the current Af3 gear sets are questionable at best as far as looks go, like BST Af3 looks like comepelte crap (IMO) but it has unbeatable stats for BST.
But sure, then we would

I would just prefer they skip the pattern of "get NQ event item with no stats, then wear it while talking to NPC to finish event quests and get the 'useful' version." and just give us one item at the end of the event sequence instead of giving us two items to take up space when one of them has no benefits and both look the same.

White Mages everywhere rejoice as they finally get a decent melee body piece that also saves inventory space.

I was going to say melee mages in general, but the forums tends to focus on Red Mage and Summoner melee more. I guess White Mages tend to either be less vocal, or less numerous, at least on the forums.
