Do you want Garo gears/mounts to appear in the game again ?

I honestly don't think I'd want another PVP oriented event, simply because I can never get into any PVP matches since expansion's launch. I was going to do my daily to get some Late Allagan (spelling?) gear.... but I can never get into a match. I have pretty much given up at this point.

The last time and only time I PvPed hardcore was for the Garo event the week it was released. After I grinded the gear I wanted and the mounts out I barely touched it again. PvP in this game isn't the best. I would prefer that they don't do another PvP event again. I think they focus too much on the Feast as it is, but that's another topic entirely.

They changed it so that you need the full amount of people in order for a match to start because they got complaints about the 24 mans. Which effectively killed PVP off peak hours in the US.

The lack of PvP event is contributing to your inability to get a PvP match outside of primetime.

Don't personally care for it as I got all of it when it came out. I think the xv stuff will probably end up on mogstation since the xiii stuff did.

However I don't think the garo stuff will come back, and that's simply because rewards from pvp events are 1 time rewards only, just like the top whatever rewards from feast. And feast is still in the game, you just can never get the old rewards and titles from it ever again.

It's kinda like the 1.0 stuff, you can never get the tattoo or old mounts anymore because you had to be a player at the time.

If they bring it back, I hope they don't make it mogstation because it took a lot of us a lot of effort to get all the gear and the mounts and it wasn't the same as a regular event where you do 1 quest and get the rewards in 10min, I'd be fine with a reboot of it where people can get them as long as they do the same requirements again.

If that were the case, why was there a huge spike in PvP participation during the first months of the event? People clearly knew about the GARO event being a thing. The only thing that was vague, was the end date of the event. Something along the lines of "It'll end some time after the release of Stormblood."

It ended up going from patch 3.5 (17th of January, 2017) till patch 5.1 (29th of October, 2019). They eventually did make a lodestone post notifying players about the end date, about 5-6 months prior to it.

Yokai Watch, definitely coming back though. Level-5 CEO, Hino and YoshiP are good friends.

OMG, that's just actually really scary to think about...

Edit: The event had some really nice glamour options and gearing options that were actually easy to acquire and were way better looking than most of the tome gear for DoM, Ranged Physical, and MNK at the time, so it's not like a bad idea if they want to renew it to advertise another GARO series. But, as long as the clothes look nice enough to want to buy and the mounts are really cool with a fair time sink again: It should do well. I mean, just look at how popular the first moonlight faire event was

I found out about the "event" as a new player simply by talking to NPCs and discovering they were selling awesome-looking gear, and the mounts were listed in the achievements (not that I tried to get them).

Gold Saucer was an alternative if you didn't want to grind PVP, and we have Frontline roulette now for guaranteed times even if you didn't win.

I don't think you'd find many people who don't want them back.

True, even mogtomes brought the people, albeit sometimes non-desirable players however beggars can't be choosey.

Would like more mogtome events, seems like they offer a nice way to get certain stuff without farming (especially the primalmounts). who knows we might have an impromtu event of that sort soon given current circumstances.

For GARO I don't think its in the cards right now as it is a collaboration with a niche toku series, which would likely be very expensive for SE

I can also see XV getting reran if only all other SE crossover events were reran at least once.
