Halloween and Costumes...and some randomness idea

What costumes would you like to see for Halloween in Eorzea?

My #1 costume would be a CUTE MOOGLE!!!!

As far as an event...corpses rising throughout Eorzea?

Or how about a haunted entrance into the great airship and dead Bahamut for a random dungeon with floors that change upon each entry...people want difficult content? How about a tower that gets harder and harder with each passing floor and a boss at every 10th level...SE has done it b4...it was fun. Let's see more!!! Accessible only during certain times of the year...when the spirit world is close to the real world of Eorzea...

The problem with halloween nowadays is that it's been filtered so much that it's lost it's scare factor. They market it for kids now so we don't see creepy scary freaky things with a none-stop barrage of horror movies on T.V. Instead we get kids running around dressed as fairys and 'cute happy things'.

If we're going to talk costumes then I'd say aim towards a more 'gothic' theme, it's a stereotype yeah but they're usually associated with the darker side of halloween, with witchcraft and whatnot, and those kinds of clothes wouldn't look unusual in FFXIV.

So what I'd like for a halloween event is creepy music, with big scary monsters rampaging around the landscape mowing down anyone daft enough to get within aggro range, people running for their lives as some hulking great undead beastie chases down them and their chocobo.

It'd add to the scare factor. Imagine you're standing around logging a tree or mining a node, constantly having to look around everywhere for signs of impending doom as the ground shakes from it's footsteps, growing ever closer...

Or you start a levequest, you're running along towards your target then just as you pass over the crest of a hill, standing just a few feet away from you is an undead tonberry, waving it's ghostly lantern at you as it begins waddling in your direction, it's knife glinting in the pale Thanalan moonlight.

So yeah, I'd like the halloween event to feel more like what halloween used to be, a none-stop scream fest of thrills and scares.

Just pleeeeeaaaaaase NO ZOMBIES! They have been milked to death for the last 10 years in video games and movies and they're seriously just not scary AT ALL.

Thriller emote. Make it happen SE.

How about a corn maze in Ul'dah? Filled with scary creepy monster?

Maybe we could do some long mystery quest where our group is locked inside a cabin and has to try to avoid a crazed miqo'te armed with a mining pick whilst trying to find a way to escape.

Texas Pickaxe Massacre!

You shoulda rolled a Roegadyn if you wanted fat chubby and old.

I DEMAND A HATSUNE MIKUQO'TE!!!!!!!!!

I think costumes to dress up like monsters in the FF bestiary would be great. There could be Cactaur costumes, Bomb costumes, Tonberry costumes (the slasher XD), Marlboro costumes, Goblin costumes etc. Maybe even let us dress up like Primals!

If we wanted to break the 4th wall a bit, I think it'd be pretty funny if there were costumes to dress up like select characters from previous FF games. They could be said to be heroes and villains from popular childrens stories in Hydaelyn. Imagine how awesome a Kefka costume would be. XD

Love this! I agree with Agoven! We should be able to dress up as something FF related like Moogles, Moombas, Tonberries, Chocobo's etc.

I like Zuellni's idea too for dressing up as past FF "stars" lol. We should have monsters like the skeleton swordbearer or skeleton soldiers, rise up from the dead and walk around the cities at different time with bats flying from over head..

And candy to eat, LOT'S of candy ;)

No ffxi trick or treat thing...that was lame lol...

Rather than make it a festival.... make it a world disaster please.... nothing happy about it.

--------------------------------

Some ancient god of the 12 was banished for being evil or what ever. and once a year he tries to break free. every october our time...which is prolly a good amount of years ff14 times... the blood moon raises above the land.

during the blood moon it eclipses the sun and the whole month of october is endless night...not daylight.

The servants of the banished god...the tonberries... cant walk in daylight for it turns them to stone... so during the blood moon they are free to walk to the earth and try to summon their god back into this plane...through blood magic.

They must steal souls and gather them into a special magic seal to free their god...

the event would be....the tonberries have stolen souls and are doing demonic circles around the world.

they attack camps and cities and kidnap people...ghosts and stuff run the streets and people panic.

----------

random areas outside of town is a large circle of tonberries chanting a spell with all the captured npcs...and their souls are being removed form body...

the players have to fight the tonberries and their ghost monsters and break the circle and free the npcs...once the circle is broken their souls return to the bodies.

-------

killing boss tonberries will give people tonberry items that relate to halloween items..like a tonberry summoning skull that can be worn as a voodoo looking skull helmet and have a a cool down timer that summons a lil ghost to follow you for a duration or something

just an idea

Craftable Halloween costume which we can change in Halloween materia later ^^
