Predictions for FFXIV's 1st Anniversary event?

Let the list of ideas commence!

A goblin bonanza! Sounds original!

Hats.

Or more different hats.

1.19?:confused:

The "This is how our game should had released" event

more bells

Something like this

Bunch of naked Roegadyn and Highlanders walking down Uldah and /posing every few steps and in the middle there is a throne being carried with the naked/summersuit YoshiP sitting in it.

by the way... it is possible for an event... :)

It's a bit early but there is a plan for implementing Halloween Event!
And for Halloween costumer, heard there is a hat that's not triangle hat (JP term for witches hat) but related to Halloween....

まだまだ熱い夏が続き、秋までまだまだありますが楽しみにお待ちください！
Hot summer will still continue, and have some time till the fall but please wait for it!
（といいますか、ハロウィンの手前にもイベントが用意されているようですよ～ゴニョゴニョ）
(before that... there is another event being planned before halloween...)

that green section was in smallest font so made it big for u guys to see it :)

honestly i think if we even will have one it will be very low key. events dont seem to be something they can just pull out of a hat.

Reinheart, I was just joking. You didn't have to go through all the trouble of editing your post.:-)

by the way, having a tonberry hold the bell is the best idea I've heard yet.

Another free month.

lmao, or the old dev team wielding bells as weapons

mm? I didn't edit the post because of what you posted lol don't worry

saw Dreadnought's post and thought I should post that info reps posted :)

Reinheart, ok. I just thought that i had come off as a little angry.

Anyway, what if for 1 week they replaced the boss in one of the dungeons with a Tonberry holding a bell. The dungeon would be twice as hard as before, but you would get the bell to use as an item....What would a bell actually DO?

(I haven't played a dungeon yet, so I'm just assuming that their is a boss at the end of it)

A giant apology letter.

Phase 2 of operation make-the-game-retail-ready. I think it would be really cool if a day before the one day anniversary 1.19 drops, with it having some sort of "anniversary" event in-game. It doesn't have to be anything too big. But then on the day of the anniversary Yoshi-P should release the "big plan" that he has teased multiple times now.

An event where the quest leads you to the unused zones off the main cities. And you find your moghouse(or named somethin' else) there waiting for you.

LS/Player Housing?

lol would be fun if they made dungeon with tons of tonberry chasing the party have to run through the dungeon fast or gonna get stabbed lol

Release an AH that would be a party all by itself! =D

Honestly During the past year I've seen almost non-stop event planning and not enough of real game development.

At least when this cycle closes by Xmas they run out of excuses to fiddle with the small stuff and can really start working on content. I hope. No more bells, eggs nor bikinis please that's not what we've been waiting for.

I liked events in XI but in XIV it seems like there's an event going on at all times and something special ends up being not so special. Instead of real FF jobs to level you're left with a mariachi band plaing non-stop in an event that took weeks to develop.

A re-scheduling of Heavensturn?

Maybe an auction house hat. Kinda like the chocobo egg hat. Then 6~ months after we get the hat we get an actual auction house

A new chart explaining what is in the work for the next quarter?

I'd die of pure happiness, which is why it won't happen. XD And it's too soon I think, I'd expect houses by 2012.. I'm game for any event they have planned but I hope it's not laced with frustration and is full of fun.

I'd love to see SOMETHING happen, but in all honesty I don't think they're going to do anything in-game.

Maybe a producer's letter or something... But I'm not expecting anything so hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.

All npcs are replaced by bells and coblyns

Well I don't expect anything all that much - but it would be nice if they did something like the census event in FFXI - placing NPCS in towns where you can find out how many times your char has died, etc. And the moogles gave out random goodies from previous events that you might have missed - which was very nice. We haven't had enough events really in FFXIV to do something exactly like that, but something nice would be a special wand/hat/belt whatever with say 10 charges, one for each location. The anniversary wand for Limsa would have 10 free teles to Limsa, and so on for each city. Or anything similar - free raises, buffs, whatever - something disposable but handy.
