Can we get a Starlight Celebration extension due to PSN outage?

I resubbed on day before Christmas and started the event, but PS4 has been down since the evening of Dec 24th. I have never missed an event achievement in my history with the game, and if PS4 is not back up on time to finish then not only would I not be able to get the achievement but also the things they are selling in the shops. Actually, due to the daily limit on the event quests to 1 a day each city, it will now be impossible for me to get all of the items in the shop without an extension.

It's a ddos attack so if you keep trying you might make it in. There is a slim chance your log in will go through between the servers getting flooded with bad packets.

Given Heavensturn starts immediately after Starlight Celebration, I doubt that anything can/will be done at this point.

Worse will be all the people who log in and find dead plants. :(

I might try that today since some people are able to login as Sony said servers are gradually coming back up. Sony actually took them down for maintenance so even after attacks stopped it was down.

Yeah, I wasn't even thinking about that. That's something else bad.

The DDoS attack made me really dislike holiday events with daily quests. I'd rather just waste a few hours all at once to get all of the event items.

The community team that responds here on the forums are all on vacation till start of of year, and they already have a new event planned to start on the 31st.

SE is going to owe me several Broombrush seeds and Grade 3 Thanalan soils if I can't log in before the crops expire.

Worked hard to grow an Eggplant Knight for a wedding gift for a friend.I can log into psn,but cannot log into FFIV. Fear all is lost. Any thoughts?

Why? SE has nothing to do with PSN being down.

Get a friend or anyone from your server to water your plants?

Let me guess- you must be a PC user not impacted by the outage. It's SE's design by which plants die TOO QUICKLY if people can't login without watering them and if it's possible for external actors to impede the ability of a large portion of the user base to log in, they should have accounted for that and made it possible for stuff to not die off in a damn day.

You can't have people water plants at your private house as nice as that would be.

They must have changed that. In that case hopefully someone will do the same on Diabolos -> Lavendar Beds -> Ward 1 -> Lavendar South Subdivision area (but I doubt I'll be so lucky).

The items will be in the cash shop later so you can just buy them then.
