Moonfire Faire

I can't wear that one on my WHM, and that made me sad because it was my favourite type (the WHM skirt might be similar, but it's lacking the stockings). Now I'm getting a wearable and dyebale version of it, which is even better! I'm definitely not complaining, haha.

really, this version is worse for dyeing purposes...that red accent color on the edges doesn't blend as well with colors as the gold does on the original striking set.

Which doesn't change the fact that the moonfire faire set shows the scouting shoes, instead of the striking ones.

that is true - either way willing to bet most people wouldn't use either boot style... talk about hideous.

If I remember hearing correctly events after the launch of Heaven's Ward were pretty bad for a bit. I would hardly call a different variant of a popular dungeon set "lazy". Let's see that happens around Halloween, they kind of just finished making an entire expansion.

We'll see what else if offered at the Moonfire Faire when it's announced.

I'm hoping there will be some yukata that haven't been advertised. I really love the basic models the Kugane townsfolk are wearing.

I want the Kimono Tataru was wearing in the MSQ...

The disappointment is real.

But seriously, I'd much rather them make swimsuits with different designs than this, ahah.

The events feel small and unimportant in this game. Things like this only go to help in that overwhelming sense of inadequacy. If you've ever played a holiday in XI or god forbid... WOW... then you would understand why people are saying these rewards feel lazy and not enough. I personally liked the style both XI and wow took where they kept the items from previous years available for people while adding something new and different each subsequent. Most notably the Oktoberfest event in wow changed the static npc events to reflect current events in the game. I think people aren't mad they just want Yoshi ,and company to try a little harder. There was a ton of reuse in this expansion from mobs to armor and weapons. Something needs to be done about production seeming like it's being done in a closet by 2 guys. Although I love the story thus far as per the usual for final fantasy.

I want Yotsuyu's Kimono...but I guess it will go straight to the mogstation at some times in the future.

Bleh, cash-op store in subscription based mmo...

I don't have a problem with the set, it's the fact that we just got this gear in June. I would have rather had something like purple, pink, yellow and orange recolors of the older bikinis and pareos.

If they are really just giving us a "dye able" version of a dungeon set for the "event" then ... they might as well not hold the damn event in my eyes .. >_> events are meant to be stuff that "stands out" not "oh you got the dungeon set .. just dye able .. /gz .."

Im perfectly fine with getting dyeable shisui gear pieces...what I'm not so happy with is that they decided to simply pick ONE of the many variations and stick with that.
Why not have the event vendor NPC sell all variations of shisui? So everyone could pick their favorite pieces and mix and match them as they like.

Not like THAT wouldve been much more work for SE....

Just to clear any misunderstanding, I don't support kupo store in this context. Yet we all saw what happen... meh.

^ This is what I had in mind too when I first heard that they will be rewarding the dyeable Shisui set; kinda sad that we're stuck with just the striking/scouting version (minus the collar bit and head piece).
Also why do I get the feeling that the only part of the outfit we get to dye is the base parts (top, skirt, ankle part of the shoes) while the rest remains the same default color. =.=

Because they haven't implemented the ability to have accent dyes as well(we really need this).

Server limitations. - SE

I was thinking "Maybe this is the year we finally get a dyeable bikini top! One without the tacky leopard print."

Nope. It's such a glaring omission at this point I can't help but think it's on purpose. As for the current rewards, the leggings more or less make the bottoms unusable for me so that's also a bit of a disappointment. Ah well... maybe next year.

SE reskin gear all the time and make them dyeable at some point in the future. Why is everyone acting like this is anything new?

I'be said it before and I'll say it again, they cut a corner with these sets as rewards. They knocked two birds with one stone.

Moonfire Rewards: √
Dyeable Shisui Request: √

They could've easily just made the dungeon sets dyable items just like how they made the race gear dyeable. But they didn't. They chose to be lazy. Guess we have to wait another year for something new. I am not saying it's a bad set. Just that it's dumb that they wasted an event on this. And even increased inventory items for the same thing.

It's an event item, so hey, Armoire storage, technically reducing inventory space needed since you can chuck the dungeon gear

I'd like to remind everyone that you're paying a subscription for this game and that you're a CUSTOMER, not a beggar here to thank SE for every little scrap they give you.
They are lazy for this event and the fact the dyable set was requested doesn't change that, they could have easily implemented it on the side or simply made the dungeon set dyable.

Oh and please, the other events this year having cool stuff doesn't excuse this one being bad, even moreso when it's one of the most anticipated event AND in the first event of the expansion that introduced swimming (and a fitting set was released on the cash shop only a few months prior).

Learn some self-respect.

Oh this is great the pieces could make my new glamours even better :D

I am disappointed that we dont get the cute hair pieces with the outfit.

They should have done the shisui set dyeable in the first place. Simple as that.

I'm kinda sad cuz they picked the striking one instead of caster, but happy it's not the aiming set... the brd/mch one is horrible XD

Could be because they just got here recently and thus have literally no access to most of the stuff you got since last Moonfire because you can't even get stuff in the store - so finding out that the sole option is an outfit they don't want to bunches of other options they MIGHT want but can no longer get even though those options literally exist in game already and code already is kinda ehh feeling?

No, no they don't and that's the problem. The amount of stuff that was exclusive to an even but you can no longer access in any way shape or form is significantly higher than the stuff you can just pay for if you missed.

So it's not just a cash shop. It's a cash shop that doesn't even stock what you want.

I had farmed all the sets for glamour, so this'll free up some space. Wish the original sets were dyable but eh, anything would have been disappointing after last years prizes.

On the one hand, I actually like the skirt and stockings, on the other, that top is boring without the sleeves and choker. I hope this one lets us at least show neck pieces with it. Also, no headgear? That was my favourite part- wait who am I kidding I just use the fox ears forever now. Eh, I assume when it's dyable it'll just dye the whole thing one colour so it wont have different coloured accents even. Which is something I always hate.

I am sure though they'll have some other rewards along with it...I hope? I mean they usually give us at least a furnishing or something.

Furnishing, food, orchestration...those are usually in there. Will likely see similar in this one as well.

Just that the Summer event is so late in Summer it might as well be an Autumn festival.

I did just see on twitter that they have "announced" it, though it is not on the Lodestone.

Those only look good on females though :(, I had to get rid of that glam I worked so hard for cause when I fantasia'd it looks terrible T_T. Hopefully the next swimsuit will not remove male genitals :S.

Sort of removes all sense of character to see your character made into a Ken doll :S.

I forgot to add this in my first post but:

I really cringe when I see this set and the model in the picture. Like, no wonder why male stuff isn't good looking. Model has no muscle definition and the shape is almost a straight line(What happened to V-shape? :( ). Its only personal opinion I guess... but the shisui on males isn't attractive at all and I'll go even further to say that none of the swimwear for males was ever attractive. And they kinda look similar.. Maybe males should just get non-swimwear for Summer <.<

Considering no dungeon gear has ever been dyeable, I imagine they'd have to make a whole new version anyway. And really, does it matter? I don't see it as lazy so much as they are focusing on other things and decided this was a good solution since many wanted dyeable versions anyway. Keep in mind, they aren't taking any time off with Stormblood whereas we waited nearly five months for 3.1. Small events like Moonfaire just aren't going to be a priority.

Well, besides Sirensong, but that was also dyeable crafted 3.4 gear anyways, just switched into different roles.

I don't really mind myself, I like the Shisui sets, it stops me from having to farm 7/8 gearsets just for glamour and having to fit a weapon to keep it all color coordinated, when I can just dye it myself.

To be perfectly honest, I see more use out of this than say, The Rising minions? (though Wind-Up Gosetsu will be my minion of choice when crafting/idling).

This honestly doesn't make sense whatsoever.

You're telling people to learn self-respect when you're promoting/condoning backlash to a company? Just move on with your life or wait until next year. Where was this when they decided to take their two month extra off developing content back during the break between 3.0 and 3.1? Did you also state then that this is unacceptable and we have to learn "self-respect" to get our moneys worth? Get our sub back for those two months that lacked content? Vote with your wallet, because at least then you'll have the dignity of not looking like a child crying that they didn't get their lolly... honestly...
