Okay now will it be exclusive for the TGS-goers or will it just be concurrent with the convention?

I believe the bomb earrings will return while SE debuts the Dodo Earrings.

Basically how it'll work.. They'll have an primal fight at the convention. The teams who win will have their leader draw a server name out of a hat. Whoever's server name is drawn gets the earrings. They will keep drawing server names as long as people win the fight.

That's how it works. When they did it the first time, every single server won and they had more people winning, so they added in bomb earrings too. And every server got those too.

Which worked, as only a handful of servers ended up with the Bomb Earrings, mostly Legacy ones from what I understand (my server had them for instance). Anyway, the return of this event will be nice for all those players who have just joined recently and thus missed out the first time (I still wear my Cactuar and Bomb Earrings - they're good lvl 1-15 ear wear as well). :)

All servers can get the rewards if people beat it enough. (Didn't that happen last time?)

Really? I'm from Exodus as well. Maybe our luck will continue to this TGS.

BTW did they say what Items and prizes would be for the lucky servers?

They need to briefly bring back the Cactaur earrings too. I didn't even know they existed, and I was playing at the time. I was already high enough level to where I never saw the itinerant moogle.

Is this still the case? The winning thread lists just the Dodo earrings and the Slime Earrings.
