Any word on when the Summer Festival starts?

I hope they go all out for this one. Also, I want to raid in a bikini, so I hope it's soon! >^.^<

I wish I knew. I was disappointed I couldn't get my swim suit yesterday lol.

IIRC they do not need to patch or do maintenance to activate the events. They just appear when SE decides to turn them on. So I'm hoping it'll be within days, not weeks. xD

*has been checking the lodestone every hour for more news of the event*

Am I insane? Maybe.

I was disappointed that i couldnt run around as an Axe-Wielding-Beach-Babe-Cat

Agreed, I want my first raid to be in swim-trunks. Going to try and wait this one out!

Plenty to keep my pale-white body busy till then though it seems:cool:

The design of the top is a bit revealing. I don't understand how it's going to support some of the more well-endowed elezen. You guys know which one I'm talking about. >.>

I want my swimsuit T_T! Gooo Yoshi-p :3 !! Please press the event switch >.>

I was seriously thinking it was going to be in 1.18. Then I reread the letter and noticed he didn't mention 1.18 until he was done talking about the event. That sneaky bastard. :P

If he doesn't switch it on today or this weekend, I might just die a little inside.

Spoke with some people in my LS. Most are assuming it will start the first week of August like FFXI's usually does.

I still hope it's sooner. How dare they tease us with those bikini pictures and then makes us wait 2 1/2 weeks. :(

I was wondering this myself. Let's go summer event.

Well they didn't actually say when it would be in. As a side note, one of the localisation team members (Fernhawles) let slip in the last few days that when he sat down with Yoshi-P to discuss something raised, they also talked about Mi'quote swimsuits. Kind of as if they weren't finished yet.

So they may still need to patch it in. However given that they already have a lot of bugs to patch up, this could happen at any time between now and next month. My bets are on the summer event starting with 1.18a.
