Its really easy for a rich person to say, "you know money doesn't make you happy, you just got to choose to be happy" to the poor man on the street corner.

She does have a point though...it's not that big of a deal especially since we had prior knowledge (for over a year) that there won't be a return of swimsuits and potentially a swimsuit recipe if at all and it wouldn't even be the ones from the event.

Nice to see it is still coming and as far as older event stuff goes I am not gonna go down that road as this is the one thing that pisses me off about this game and I have been vocal about it several times.

Not the case for everyone I couldn't obtain two of them due to PC issues and to me they are valuable items I would like and enjoy. As a supporter of this game since launch I would like the opportunity to aquire them again even if its more of a task. No reason they cannot put them in GC as rewards fore seals or something you have to earn.

So the real complaint here is not laziness, but the fact you refused to play to get it then and now you want it because you feel the game is worth playing? lol.

It's not hard to give an NPC the ability to dispense it, however that wasn't the plan they went with and we learned last year that this year there won't be swimsuits but Yukata/Kimono(both were mentioned but I recall Yukata being the confirmed one.)

Your whole deal with it additude is invalid. I pay, I'm entitled. There's that word again.

Well its too bad I guess. I just wasnt aware that they discontinued the swimming gear. Doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me... If people currently playing the game really want to wear swimming gear, and feel it would keep them playing the game, in some small way, you would think SE would want to pump the swimsuits out.

They might also think maybe such interesting gear ideas will drum up some curiosity from nonplayers.

Yeah it wasn't "discontinued" perse, it was mostly they didn't have plans on reintroducing it for this year. Even if they followed in XI's example, they usually introduced a new event item while selling the previous years item if it was the same event.

It wasn't until later did they allow you buy all event items during the specific events, i.e halloween you could buy the pumpkin heads and laterns during halloween and xmas stuff during xmas. The game is still only 2 years and with easter event it made sense considering it was essentially the same event. This year, unless it is the Firefall event again, it makes sense that it doesn't dispense the old swimsuits.

If it is the FF event again, then we'd just simply have to wait till next summer lol.

At first I was supportive of them rereleasing last year's summer event items, at least in a limited way, but after reading Kerwin's post I'm absolutely thrilled that the bikinis won't be available.

You couldn't be bothered to log in during the event, which is laziness on your part. It's an event. You should expect all event items to be a one-time thing only.

I apologize to all my friends who did miss out on the last year's event for legitimate reasons, and to those who wanted them but weren't children about it.

You pay, but you're not entitled to swimsuits. Your logic fails. Events by nature are a limited time item; if you don't get it at the time the event is live, it is your loss.

It's like a beer company offering a limited time seasonal flavor, and you not buying any; then the next summer comes around and you get mad when they don't offer the same flavor.

Be happy that we're getting a summer event at all! Same drink, just a different flavor.

*looks at everyone whining about swimsuits again and shakes her head*

You're not entitled to everything just because you paid for it.
(For those that missed the event due to other circumstances besides not choosing to be there when it was going on: ) Boo, it sucks, get over it. I missed three other events last year, but you don't see me bitching about it.

The swimsuits were around last summer when the game was still in it's FREE PERIOD.

Be happy that you're getting Yukata this year, something the post 2.0 players won't be getting.
Let's forget that we got a discount FOREVER, a Goobbue mount no longer available to the public, and a chocobo just for being on Legacy status nope! not as good as getting a swimsuit!

Screw your discounts and free mounts no one else is getting!

Im rather dissapointed myself. I had gotten the swimsuits from last year, but i also wound up moving to another server instead, which means i can't obtain them now. I'm really hoping they change their minds and offer them to be bought via npc or something. :/

For me it's more about enjoyment of the items. This is pretty much the only game I play and I am heavily invested in it and have invested alot of time to it. I am also very big on community stuff as alot of people are this game just isn't about grinding to the end for me. I enjoy things like LS events and group stuff which include pictures or anything like that. It just really bothers me that sometimes because of missing gear I cannot participate in such things and because of a reason that was out of my hands at the time.

I've stuck through the worst of times with this game, gladly pay and enjoy the game, Legacy memebr and all that like many others and for me the lack of these items is a big loss of enjoyment for me. I dunno I would not ask to just be given them but I would have no problem earning them in some way. Hell I'd take the missing gear over the exclusive Legacy mount in 2.0 at this point.I know alot of people won't see it that way and give the old too bad speech but I guess it's fine if you have it atleast.
