Will Lightning return again?

Will Lightning event ever return again? Any announcement?

It was event related to FFXIII: lightning returns , doubt it will happed again

No, it happened twice already. There is no need to bring it back again now.

Let's bury FFXIII and drop a massive boulder on top of it so that it may never rise again. Even after the zombie apocalypse... XD


(the Lighting hair does look good though)

I'd rather see a new Final Fantasy related FATE than see Lightning strike thrice.

I appreciate Battle on the Big Bridge and the Shantotto FATE as well as the other little things such as minions gear and barding but I loathe the FFXIII FATE event.

My anger will only grow until Final Fantasy Type-0 gets localized.

Either the event needs to run again someday or they need to give us some other way to get the gear. I missed it the first time around and then I worked my butt off and played as much as I could given work and family, but could not get high enough level to totally complete the event, much less on more than one character (m & f) if I wanted to. There shouldn't have been a level 45 requirement for EVENT gear (especially given that it was only level 13 gear).

God let's hope not!

Sorry if you missed it! n,n;

I actually enjoyed the whole XIV event for LR. It was pretty fun and the rewards are still some of the more unique looking weapons and armor in the game (for the most part).

But no, I hope they don't bring it back unless there is a reason to; like another new XIII game launching. Otherwise it was fun, but I wouldn't want to do it again.

And if they do make another Lightning related event, I would want it to be different than the last one (two).

I can definitely understand for players who are new and didn't get a chance to participate to possibly feel like they missed out, because, well.. you did. Limited events (and event rewards) are just that, limited.

How about other FF games for FATEs! They could come out on the anniversary of any particular game. Who wouldn't want to look like Cecil or Rydia?

Be nice if it would but don't see it happening. My friend who is playing PS4 missed it.

Heh. Where's my SOLDIER gear?

At most if it had to be brought back in a way, I would rather the items be redeemable with another collaboration or other event, instead of the entire FATE event be brought back. Similar to how some FFXIV 1.0 event items were available again as well.

Enough is enough.

I'm sure it'll be back. Those FATE events were too cool to just sit in the attic forever.

I didn't read all the posts, so pardon me if someone mentioned this already.

I think it would be cool if she DID return, but not just a do-over of the previous event. Perhaps a follow-up event.

I doubt the event will run again but hopefully the items that it dropped will be reskinned, renamed, and re-released via other means (hint, hint, Treasure Maps) so that those who missed out can still attain them for cosmetic reasons. It would also be a handy way to get the set for both genders.

As long as it was classified as seasonal event, it may return. Unique events are the ones if you miss, you miss for good.

My guess is that they'll ibe mplementing that FATE quest-line as an anniversary event of the game release.

They had it again for people that missed on the first chance... but commmmon!!!!

Interesting i never knew that. I just assumed it was for the players who missed it at first go.

Thanks,

I'm willing to bet it will be back, they aren't going to put money into content they can't keep reusing, plus new players and PS4 players especially will have missed out on them.

Lightning rarely strikes twice... never three times... wait, Returns was the 3rd? Does II even count?

No, no and no!

As her story in FFXIII is over, no. She will never return.

I participated in the event when it re-launched in Feb (when I first started). I had recently just started playing the game and ran into some miscommunication regarding Upgrading my account from Standard -> Collector.

Long story short I wound up having a Standard account and a Collector account. I spoke to numerous support agents and they told me tough luck and to just restart on my Collector Account.

I wound up having an account with the Lightning hair (which is the only thing I wanted) and the new main account with out...

I wish there was a way for them to gift me a voucher coupon so I could get the hair on my main account because of their mix up...

Please, no. I've had enough of this woman.

Well, they don't "need" to do anything. They actually gave people two chances to do this, once in November last year, once February this year. Sorry you couldn't get to the level high enough to get the gear, but unfortunately, a lot of MMO stuff are time sensitive. But you're high enough level now, so next special event like this one, you'll get it! :D

They're regular one-time-only quests, so there's no "doing it again" involved. If you've already done it, then you've already done it. Offering the event again would be for people who have NOT yet done it. It's probably the most fun, and certainly the most involved event we've had since ARR launched, and it would be a shame for people who either weren't here or couldn't level up far enough in time to miss out on it.

If they do it again though (perhaps as an anniversary event), I'd hope they adjust the level requirements. Level 13 content shouldn't have a level 45 participation requirement.

First off FF13 was a good series..people are stupid. Second I am upset they did not do something for X and X2 HD remake..would of loved some of that gear..like cmon would of been sooooo awesome. But it is fine.

Which is subjective.

Like my opinion I'm about to post.

FFXIII doesn't live up to the Final Fantasy name. So it may be a good series but not good enough to be named Final Fantasy. Bravely Default is more Final Fantasy than the FFXIII saga was.

They said the Goobue mount would never come back again after it was available in 1.0. You can now get one from beast tribe dailies! They said Nael van Darnus would never be able to be fought again after his "demise" in 1.0. You can now participate in the exact same fight from 1.0 as the final boss in turn 9! I don't believe a single word out of SE's mouth anymore.

I'm kinda confused, but why did she return a second time?

I can understand her comming back due to ps4, but why did she comeback a few month ago.

While it is a goobue, it is a different goobue that is wearing a wreath while the 1.0 one has a carpet so you can tell the difference between the two. I do agree that we did not need another goobue, they should have picked a boar since they live in the sylph lands, the goobue on the other hand isn't anywhere found in the shroud O.o?

Now as for turn 9, the fight is completely different than the one in 1.0 and isn't really even Nael at all, you don't know what you're talking about.

The lightning event first came for the Japanese release of the game and the second time it was for the American release of the game.

It will be back when they release Lightning Return Editor's Cut HD Remastered Anniversary Edition... or something like that.
