Lightning FATE event

Apologies if this has already been discussed. However I was wondering when the exact dates for the duration of the Lightning FATE event are?

As I will be away an unable to play from November 4th-18th and would hate to miss it.

Thank you :)

It'll probably release just before Lightning Returns comes out to build up hype. :)

It'll probably only last from november 5th to 17th.

It's scheduled to start on November 14th, a week before the Japanese release of Lightning Returns. There is currently no announced end date that I'm aware of, but I would expect at least two weeks.

"This special FATE is scheduled to go live on November 14, a week before the Japanese release of LIGHTNING RETURNS: FFXIII! Hope you're all prepared to unravel the secrets of Lightning in Eorzea!"

This. If not before then shortly after. This is more of a shameless promotion than a nod to long time FF fans. I wouldnt be surprised if Lightning says something a long the lines of

"Thanks for your help, I must needs to "Return" to my world before its destroyed ... in 3 days ... starting November 21. Now on sale at the SE store!"
