Christmas events?

Anyone know if there will be Christmas events happening? There was something like that at Halloween.
I'd like to see Santa/elf gear and holiday mount decorations..:)

What we do know from the last live letter is that there'll be Snowman costumes where you can use /visor to close or open a square for the face.

This sounds really lame. Costumes should have some value added. In FFXI i remember the Santa Hat would dispense ginger cookies.

A peep hole for you head gear is just lame.

NPC with the Christmas stuff has been in the game since the last hotfix.

Yeah, actually he was there even in the Beta - he's an npc manning a vendor stand at Mih Khetto's Amphitheater in Old Gridania who complains about how it seems 'the Starlight Festival will never come'. So it's likely he's connected with the actual Christmas event. I think we'll be getting the FFXI/Dragon Quest crossover event before then though.

The 'Starlight Celebration' is the equivalent Eorzean holiday to Christmas. The name was first used for a similar event in FFXI, like a number of other seasonal events, and has pretty much the same function. This link describes the lore behind it and the events themselves in both FFXI and FFXIV 1.0 in more detail: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/S...ht_Celebration

Ooh, how very exciting! I can't wait!

Last few Holiday Seasons, all I've been doing for gaming events was chasing around an alien trying to steal Christmas for himself. Kinda funny, but I am excited to see how Eorzea does the holidays!

We don't know if it will give any effects though, just what it looks like.

Well I think that snowman gear looks just fine! I mean, it totally clashes with my fiery demeanor, but I think it looks good for what it is!

I just want the large Christmas trees in the towns again so I can hide in them and snipe people with /snowball! I hope the emote comes back with the rest of the event.
