Does 1.x really have anything exclusive other then the tattoos that 2.x and 3.x don't have a version of?

It's beautiful on Light herself but ingame, it clips like mad and dangles funny...its like...mega hairspray floating sorta ...I don't even know how to describe it >.<

Personally I don't think it should be made unexclusive, like being put in the cash shop or GS, because as was already said, with the number of 1.x exclusives that I highly doubt SE would be willing to make available to the rest of us at this point (and it would be unfair to those players if they did), taking away what exclusives 2.x players were able to earn would only allow a smaller percentage of players to have exclusive rights to exclusivity while making SE seem very one-sided towards those players and alienating the rest of the player base. I doubt that would feel very good, for any non-legacy player regardless if they're new or not.

I'd rather see new events, and chances at new exclusive items but I wouldn't mind if the lightning event came back either if the devs saw fit to do that.

I wish they'd add these to the cash shop and work on some new events involving characters from other Final Fantasy titles. Right now we have the outfits of Lightning, Snow, Setzer, Cloud, and Firion. Would be nice to see some other characters represented!

If you think Lighting's hair isugly then you should look at Snow's. I don't think it should even be considered a haircut since it's covered up by that ugly bandana

white raven fight with nael, the meteor horn, a bunch of other items, the goubbue mount, the legacy chocobo, hamlet defense, gathering mini games. Yes, there was a lot of 1.0 content cut from 2.0


If you want a similar event, then ask for a new event with similar items just like the 1.0/2.0 comparison.

99.99% of the content in the game is available to everyone who plays. There is a TINY MINORITY of special items set aside just for people who supported the game at a particular time. Is that really such an injustice?

And the resulting gear had better stats than even some HQ level gear in that level range.

the lightning FATEs happened atleast once every half hour up to twice every half hour, the gear itself is special lvl 13 gear(this gear has stats that match the lvl15(ilvl17 Foestriker & Acolyte) gear from the first 3 dungeons)and weapons. if they do redo this event in any shape or form or make it into a mockup event in the Golden Saucer I would really like to see weapons added for ROG/NIN, DRK, MCH, AST
as far as I know the FATEs themselves did not replace other FATEs but a glitch did happen during one of the runs of the event where some FATEs took a lot longer than normal to spawn and it was figured that the 3 unique FATEs(the first FATE was tied with a normal FATE, and non unique) were the cause, this was fixed pretty fast.

Nay! not just an injustice, perhaps one of the greatest grievances ever in the annals of history! Everyone has to have everything all the time! This is the modern culture of MMO's =/

What purpose is there to stop people from supporting the game at any point in time by allowing them to buy those items in the mog station? Not everyone insists that old items need to be brought back for free.

"I supported the game a year ago. I deserve the rewards."
"I would like to support the game as well and get the appropriate rewards! Put in in Mog Station and I'll buy it."
"You don't deserve the rewards cause you didn't support the game."
"But I'm willing to! Please let me."
"You can't cause reasons."

That logic doesn't make any sense. It seems similar to those people who brag about liking a certain band before it got popular, thinking they are True Fans and deserve special attention. When in fact newer fans just had a hard time supporting something they had never heard of.

Veteran rewards are a much better way to encourage sticking around without excluding anyone.

just add it to the cash shop

No one needs these items. Most all the weapons are ugly, and the ones that are appealing look similar to other models in-game. The hairstyle is just one of many you can have/obtain. They are a nice way to thank the players for playing in 2.x. I rather them put new stuff in the cash shop than cheapen the memory of the event by making a quick buck off it's rewards.

This is the absolutely worst thing they could do, all I have to say is "no". The only that should be in the cash shop is past event items, random minions and the very uncommon mount. Would you really prefer they dedicate resources into developing content for the cash shop because you're scared that your precious pixels are going to more common? The gear is absolutely hideous imho, but if people are willing to pay for it, give it to them. It's like every other event item.

PS. Anyone who's against this and got the items from the 2nd and 3rd times the event was released are entirely selfish and hypocritical.

I got it from the 1st event, and no, I did not whine about them re-releasing the event. There just comes a time when people miss the boat. If you can have everything all the time, there is no sense of urgency or worth behind any of the in-game activities. I like the feeling of needing to do an event because I might miss out! It gives another layer of substance by making it feel more real. Nothing really last for ever irl, as it pertains to events, holidays and parties. It's a nice touch that these events feel more real in the regard that they are different every year and possibly temporary only making 1-3 appearances.

So, please, take your tired ideration of the "special snowflake" argument and check it else where. It has nothing to do with being or feeling special.

Well, there's an obvious reason for doing it this way. A limited time offer creates a sense of urgency. They want potential customers to think, "I had better subscribe right now to get that item!" Not, "I won't miss out on anything by waiting, so I'll subscribe in a few months, or maybe not at all because I'll forgot about it if I don't do it now."

For S-E it's incentive for people to subscribe sooner rather than later, and for players who participate, it's a little something for them to show off, that not everyone else has. Win-win.

someone else who doesn't pay attention to why this likely won't happen.
the gear as is won't be added to the cash shop, if they do add it what will be there will be gear stripped of it's stats
it would be better if they choose to let people have this to either redo the event which seems it might make a lot of people angry for whatever silly reason or, to add a mockup of the event in the Golden Saucer using GATEs which is possible since the Golden Saucer has a lot of room in it that could be used for just such a thing.
in the end regardless of how much we do or don't want it the decision is up to Yoshi-P and crew.

Which.... is pretty much what some people are arguing for: putting the items in the Gold Saucer, possibly along with some FFXIII-flavoured Gate accompanying it (though I'd say preferrably not), would be just that. A new way of getting those items, similar to how some 1.x items can be gotten through retainer ventures.

There's also one 1.x dagger that didn't get converted into a sword the way all other gladiator/paladin daggers were when they introduced rogue/ninja, so 1.x players lucky enough to have one of those are the only ones who can run around with a dagger-wielding paladin. (Unless SE 'fixed' that one -- I hope not, though.)

Though... I wouldn't really consider an event promoting another game to be comparable to consistant in-game activities (like the hamlet defence, etc) ^^; But that's just my personal opinion.

As for the chocobo/goobbue, the question you responded to asked "that don't have a 2.x version" -- 2.x does have versions of the chocobo and goobbue. It's not the same, but it's similar enough IMO.

I have no problem with everyone having these items but the event has already been available many times. It also kind of eliminates all 'exclusivity' if every single subscriber has them which I can see annoying a lot of players. We also had to do multiple quests for the items and weren't just given them. :)

I supported the game at the time. I even did the event and got the items!

... I would like to have those items on the character I actually play nowadays, though. And I don't really have anything against people who weren't around back then having another shot at it either.

Either bring the event back or just pop the items into the mogstation for Petes sake.

There's no point in bringing back the event. It will please so many players until more come along and see the items and want them aswell. They should either add them to the cash shop or just keep them exclusive.

Lol way I see it..the more people I see saying they rather have the items and have them kept to those who did the event only further makes me think they should put them into the Mogstation..what are the people gonna do? Quit a game over a simple item? Most likely not.

That floatiness is weird. :x
And the long side looks pixelated/jagged to me.
I wonder if they just ripped Lightning's model out of her game and then ripped the hair off of that.

Really? I liked that hair when I played as a male!miqo'te (even though I rarely used it >w> ).

White Raven and the Meteor Horns, sure (even though SMN had Horns), but 2.x has a Goubbue Mount (that can sneeze :D) and I'm not entirely sure what the difference is between the Legacy Chocobo and ARR's Chocobo. Hamlet Defense kind of sound like FATEs, except everyone had a part and not just Battle Classes/Jobs. Harvest Mini Games sound like they would be nice. >3>

Giiive it to me baaaaby

What's the point of having a limited time event, with limited time rewards, if it's available all of the time?

All the events are limited, but you can still see some of their items in the mog station. Events are limited, but not the rewards if you use money.

No, there shouldn't. 1.0 is totally different than 2.0. 2.0 is similar than 3.0 (in fact, it's the same with new content).

You can't compare 2.X stuff with legacy items.

Why not? lol. Fact is, it's limited and you're just saying "you can't do that" cause you personally want the item. Should have played the game when the even was going on.

I wanted the items a few days ago but I don't specially want it now. In fact, I don't really care if it were up to me. It's just the fact that some people still want it. And it's fine. I'm just not selfish.

No, but they'll constantly make threads about it for months on end. Honestly, a dev or someone should just post and outright confirm whether or not the event will ever return and/or confirm whether the items will appear in the Mogstation or Gold Saucer.

look at this way if they do the event and put it in mogstation the thread will stop most likely

No, just no.
They should put it in the cashshop if anything. But no please don't make SE remake an old event, much rather them focus on making NEW events

This.

A rehash of the event will just cause later newcomers to inquire about it again anyway, which is why I consider it a selfish request. Cash shop allows everyone, not just the people who play now but also those who play later, to get it at all times, if they deem it so important as to blow real money for it.

Sure, that policy can make missing out on events rather expensive over time, but hey, some premium for being there is appropriate IMO.

This community is pretty messed up. Op makes a thread asking for the event and people demand it be in cash shop instead, I made a thread asking for it to be put in cash shop and some of the same people who are acting like jerks in this thread acted like I had insulted their mother. You can't have it both ways.

No point in bringing back an event that again ends after a little while, making people who join the game later on make threads like this asking for the event back... It will never end.

Gold Saucer yes, Mogstation no.

this I agree with, I still think a mockup of the event using GATEs would be really neat, the Golden Saucer has pleanty of space for it and we all know Godbert loves novelty events for his retreat

Not going to lie, I’d love the gear and the hair style for my female main and male alt… but I just wish that a dev would post to confirm one way or another if it’s going to happen in an event or be added to the mog shop.

Given the popularity and demand of the items, is it that hard to post something about it? At least if that happened, maybe we’d see an end to posts and threads about this which buries other threads which hold a bit more relevance now than past events do.
