Excuse. Why? They made all the racial gear pieces which were all unique, dyeable in a patch. When they weren't before. So yeah. Excuse. If they can make that gear dyeable, they could've made Shisui dyeable.

I'm conflicted. On one hand, I think the sets are pretty and would love a dyeable version. On the other hand, I hate that SE puts out dyeable versions of previously non-dyeable gear and is like "LOOK, NEW STUFF!" But back on the other hand, creating art assets is time consuming. But back on the other other hand, it's hard not to see this as lazy. But on the other other other hand, a lot of work clearly went into Stormblood. But on the other other other other hand, they really couldn't think of anything else?

At the very least, they couldn't even be bothered to give us every version of the set? The healer/caster tops have sleeves, the tank set has armor bits on it, the caster bottom doesn't have a skirt, etc. How much work would it really be to give us dyeable versions of all those sets? The differences seem trivial from a work standpoint, you clearly aren't making new models, but you couldn't even grant us that, SE?

I don't like being negative, but geez. The event hasn't even started and it's already left a bad taste.

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 <.<

If you're looking for a v shape why ya previewing on a midlander?

That said, thinking about it from my last post- if we had to get only one set I wish we were getting the m/f healer ones. They're the cutest of the bunch :c

While fair, that was a patch update. This is a side event they won't even turn the servers off for. I imagine the unique sets took far more work, hence why they bundled it into a patch in lieu of just saying, "here you go!" Personally, I just don't care enough whether it's "lazy" or not. It clears up my inventory for a set I rather fancy.

Moonfire Waire?

The dungeon gear should have been dyable, instead they decided to release 1 via the dungeons and the dyable version as a event reward, this screams laziness. I was hoping for the kimono/yukata outfits as this years Moonfire Faire reward, instead we get another rehash.

Pretty sure the first or one of the finest full length yukata will be at the kupo store, if we ever get one that is.

This. We just got a huge expansion with two extra updates a few weeks afterwards, and we have two events coming (Moonfire and the Rising). Devs needing to save time because they're already giving us a lot of stuff isn't laziness. Given them a break.

Besides, I find the Moonfire rewards very nice myself. First of all, they're releasing an improved version of my favourite type of set, which my WHM character couldn't wear (and she still couldn't have worn it if we simply got "dyeable dungeon sets"). Second because we can have the dyeable version *now*, otherwise we'd have had to wait many months, if not until 5.0 itself. Third, because I'm personally an alt-holic and now my low level alts have a chance to wear it too.

(Oh, and fourth, I really, really disliked the sleeves and extra details in the original sets; they somehow screamed like cheap e-bay cosplay to me, so I like the Moonfire top much better *amused*).

tl;dr, I don't think the event is bad at all, I understand why it's this way, and I sure will be enjoying it.
