Though I haven't done the quest yet(stupid work and things costing money), from what I've seen, some of the Shisui items actually look better than what people have posted are the event items. =/

No, not most. Those that do, you end up waiting an entire expansion for and it becomes crafted leveling gear. That's hardly what people mean when they ask for something to be dyeable.

As for Shisui gear, people were eager to have it dyeable and have been requesting it from day 1. Here you are. Is all this drama really necessary?

---

This is no where near the same as the Shisui sets being dyeable.

they are.. because of the dual color theme (red/white) contrast vs the single color theme (red/lesser red)

Let's all be honest here, all these events that we get gear how many players just add it to the armoire and forget about it? lol
I do agree however that there is large amounts of gear recycling from SE, ARR had some, HW had even more, and now i guess SB is following same route

I have not tried the event itself out yet but feel like those are not exciting like events used to be. Remember the xmas one years ago where there were snowmen in fates and all that?
While i do not agree event= let's tie it to a fate, back then it was actually fun. SE need to bring the fun back in events, they are dull now days

Pretty sure I already put in my two cents here but I think the shusui (?) gear really had no business being an event item. The people that have been defending it by saying it's unique because it doesn't have the necklace part or that since it's dyeable it's okay- what? A lot of the gear in Stormblood is already in the game (most of the crafter and gatherer junk). It's really disappointing!

Am I the only one bothered by the actual content of the event quest? The whole thing felt incredibly skeezy, having to re-enact Gegeruju and Jiriri's deplorable behaviour.

Honestly I've half a mind not to bother doing it on my other characters now, since the event gear is nothing to write home about either. I said I wouldn't be caught dead in the Shisui set when I saw it during SB's launch, the same goes for this.

So... After the event, a friend mentioned the neck area seems a bit empty with the top on, which I replied to put on a necklace and what did I find? The top will hide your neck accessories despite no reason to do so (physically speaking). It's pretty weird...

I don't think the islands where you do the quests at were there until today. I wonder if they will keep them around after the event?

Thats what happens when you get a direct copy-paste. The original piece couldn't have a necklace because it already had one. The new piece can't have one because it's still the same piece. Just with the necklace either deleted or made invisible.

I would assume so, would seem odd to remove them...then again it is also weird to make a new island just for it too. Granted I never really explored or noticed them before today either.

They were added at the start of stormblood

They were there as soon as patch 4.0 released.

That island was added as a part of Sormblood, so while the stands and such will disappear, the island itself will still be around afterwards. I am sure most people didn't even realize it was added for leisurely swimming until today xD

Yeah. Was pretty awkward/sleazy. Just not my style of humour at all.

I'm pretty sure the event items are recolours because SE knew the Shisui stuff would be popular and want to be able to sell it on the cash shop starting next year. Perhaps they'll prove me wrong and we'll see a craftable version as leveling sets in the next expansion but my instinct says this was a choice motivated by greed.
Doesn't affect me since I dislike the sets anyways.

I guess this is probably the main reason we get what we have for this event. That and maybe cutting corners to save development time due to SB release. /sigh

The whole SB expandsion is a cut corners, the full thing is just copy/paste content we got in HW..

4 runs where each has a weekly drop? check
gimmicky mechanics we seen before while putting them in a different order? check
450 tome copy/paste? check
mass reused gear/color reskin/item icons? check
But hey.. tome icons are different, guess all the effort of development went there.

They are still missing some place that has 3 different runs in it (released at different patches) on weekly limit of some gear that is the same ilevel as the 450 tomes, along with having some currency bloat item to upgrade the current 450 tome gear to 10 ilevels.

kk since I know what is gonna happen for the next 2 years, can we just skip it and go 5.0?

Since a fair few apparently did not notice the islands were already there at the release of Stormblood, you might as well look into the Castaway Chocobo Chick fishing requirements if the minion strikes your fancy. It's fished up at the big island where you had to use the spyglass.

The only thing that legit tilts me more than recycled gear and potential cash grabs is that SE keeps failing to recognize that multi-step turn-ins are absolutely annoying. I'll endure the one-by-one for leves even though it breaks my soul (especially that Whitebrim run), but for a crowded event where the need to get in and get out is fairly high, sitting here doing twenty-seven (or more, but at least six of those are required to advance the story) turn-ins is extremely annoying and there's no reason for it.

Please, either let me buy the items with the thing you already made me craft one piece at a time without quicksynth, or just start putting in the ability to turn in stacks - like you did one of the years previous.

+1
Agree completely, that is the reason I am finding it hard to get all the rewards. It takes more time then you first thought, you take a double look and ask "it took that long now? why cant we just turn in 10 fish at once for 10 vouchers?

I usually switch between girl/boy hyur when the glams get boring, I went ahead and did the quest as a boy thinking we'd be able to buy the gear set for girls with the vouchers but the vendor isn't selling it. Am I Doomed to wait a year to buy it on the mogtsation or is it interchangeable like the actual dungeon gear ? I'm hoping for the later :<

I don't think it's a gender bound set, it just changes depending on the gender wearing it.

edit: Just plopped it on my male retainer and it shows the male version on him, then back on myself it shows the female version.

It gives you an achievement but nothing at that salvage/ event npcs, maybe they add it later as moonfire III? no idea.

This too, also "think" is the wrong word to use, that is how it works, as in fact.

Was going off memory and mine can be rather faulty so I wanted to go back in game to check. :)

Just my way of letting people know you are 100% correct :3 all the copy/paste of this stuff does it. I saw a boy lala in the caster set and i thought he was a girl at first because they almost look the same ><

Loved the event. Thank you SE! Next year, please add a....................

This will make everyone happy. :)

Oh myyyyyy

I use the gear from many events, actually. I see plenty of people on my server doing the same with past events items. I have multiple classes and whatnot so it's very, very easy.

I really thought this event was extremely weird. Why the heck was I spying on ladies called "objects" of attention and one was a lalafell. I dunno... couldn't have put an elf there or just another race? Lalafells look like kids and it made me feel weird XD The reward for this event is really bad as well. It felt like they didn't even try... and we get a reskin of shisui of the violet tides's striking set without jewelry. Oh wow...

Then we'd have people complaining about how elezen look like giraffes and how bestiality is wrong.

Oh thank god ! I didn't even think about trying it on my retainers thanks ^_^

I know personal tastes are subjective to an extent but it's kind of jarring that the majority of scantily clad female NPC's are all designed in a conventionally attractive manner yet most if not all the scantily clad male NPC's are far from conventionally attractive. I sort of expected it, honestly - but it's clear they know how to make attractive male NPC's based on designs used elsewhere so it's a shame they didn't throw a bone to those of us who appreciate the male form.

Males lose both arse and genitals with this outfit :).

I don't understand why they only give us one set, when the dungeon have different set looking as in there's all together 3 set... Wish they would add all 3 different set...

Males don't really have any bulges or butts in most outfits. Pretty sure Theodric was lamenting the fact that the beefcake NPCs are lolrandom designs while the girls are cute.

Which is why the Light Steel Subligar > everything.
This can also apply to the 2013 summer event gear.

---

Exactly this. My biggest dissapointment is the fact that I can't get the bikini the Miqo'te wears on the illustration. Oh how I wanted a new swimsuit (longs for a one-piece swimsuit), or... even just a dyeable version of the Morning Summer Bikini, which I really want...

I thought I have a glimmer of hope by seeing if they sell one in the Voucher shop, but nope. All hope is lost :(

Irregardless, my point was that the reward for this event just felt like it was deliberately set up to lower/capitalized development time and/or potential cash grab. I'm personally fine with how SB went, even if they are repeating the same formula. Hell, I actually like it a little more than HW, especially the improvement in voice acting. Of course, that's just my personal opinion. Glamour-related topic is... well, a different story.
