My reaction to that was a rather in character "...I have a sword." to the Roe's whose name I have forgotten telling me we needed to decide what to do.

Pretty sure it was literally just "Ultros."
I first spotted him I guess just after the FATE had finished, didn't even realize it, just thought devs put him in to go with the peeping theme. Came back later to discover an NPC fighting him. Tried waiting around to see the beginning of the FATE, find out what started the fight, but took too long and had to log off.
I loved that fitting addition. And yeah, sure, political correctness and all, but, this is Japan, and kinda tame for Japan at that.
I liked this event, they gave us plenty of options to get the seasonal items. Having CUL and all gatherers levelled up past lv.30 it was really quick for me to get everything I wanted, then I distributed all leftovers (I crafter over 50 battered fishes lol) to random people :D
As for the event being too short, most seasonal events aren't that long. I personally prefer that way because they feel like a small break from all the grinding, roulettes, etc and yet they don't take too much of your gameplay time, so you don't have to rush too much to complete them before they end.
While the event was short, it was mostly for the glamour shots I did the event, and even then, not even with the Roe. Course I'm talking with my Hyur female:

Yep. Excellent photo times. (I fully am aware that it's a pretty vain viewpoint. My wife has already rolled her eyes at me and called me a pervy for it. But hey, I use what I'm given in game! .....yep. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)
...Thanks S-E? >.>;
