Final Fantasy XIII Hair/Outfit

Hi , i started playing FFXIV in april when the other FFXIII event's past and i was wondering if the Lightning hair/outfit will ever be on sale in the Mogstation or if the event will ever return.

I swear id pay like a hundred dollars just to have it because i love the lightning hair but it seems i wont be able to get it :(

Oh dear, there are like 5 threads (if not more) about it - I haven't played during any of the events but I believe lightning struck 3 times already
Ppl are asking about this like mad every month so we can safely assume they will put the items on the mog station bc they will do a lot €€€$$$ with it

Hey Buddy, i'm gonna warn you before the swarm comes in. Run from this thread because all you're gonna see when you return is people telling you this has been asked for already and there is a search function in the forums for a reason.

I just wish one of the devs could at least let the public know if we just wait it will definitely be up or at least that they are looking into it , the community is sorta in the dark about this and im sure its extremely wanted.

Honestly while there are a million threads on the issue, half of the reason there are is because we've had absolutely no word from the devs or community reps over whether they'll even consider putting the old Lightning event items (outfits, weapons, and clothes) in the Mog Station at some point in time. Even a simple yes or no would alleviate part of the problem with all of these threads constantly coming up.

Me personally, I say throw them in the station already so people can finally stop asking (and subsequently people can stop being annoyed that people are asking). Not to mention I'd love to have the hair for my current character who was made way past when the last strike landed.

Exactly! I Figured since the New lightning returns game is on sale on Steam now i thought they would either bring back the event or put it for sale. I knew there was multiple topics on this but because i saw on the FFXIV subreddit devs are responding on Miqo'te new doze animations and zeta replicas etc that they could at least talk about an issue that many people just want some sort of new info on.

Don't get me wrong I have seriously seen lots of these threads started about the Lighting Events and I'm in the same boat myself, I started after all the events happened and I kept hoping another would happen but I think quite honestly we aint gonna see it again, which does suck for sure.

What can we do though, we missed out so it's a tough luck for us I'm afraid. As for the Mog Station I aint holding my breath for that either, after all we've been asking for this for ages and they gave us the Scion's outfits instead lol.

@OP
The only reason we had those events was because of something being released or so forth with FFXIII. They likely won't bring it back unless something else big happens in the world of FFXIII. We are more likely to see a FFVII or a FXV event since those are currently actively developing SE titles. As far as lightning? Don't get your hopes up unless you want to pay for it in Mog Station.

@sereh
And as for scion outfits.. to be fair.. People have been asking for those for far far faaaar longer than Lightning. So I don't see it as instead, I see it as finally. I'm sure lightning will get the same treatment soon enough in one of the larger patches. It is afterall an opportunity for them to make more money.

I've seen significantly more threads requesting that Lightning event gear be available than I have Scion gear, in the time since I started browsing these forums I haven't see a single thread requesting those actually, Garlean armour? Sure, not Scion though. FF13 gear has been requested over a dozen times since the last event though. Lightning Returns was recently ported to PC though, I'm surprised they didn't promote that. It could have done with some promoting as it's sold rather "eh" numbers so far (40,000 copies).

Just because there isn't threads doesn't mean people don't want them. The forums is not the best gauge of what the community wants which has been established and said many many times.

Everyone I know in game could care less about the Lightning events.. much like them I find the outfits and hair unattractive... Meanwhile we actually wanted the scion gear.. lol

Please SE, put that hairstyle at one hundred dollars. I want to see how many people would buy that.

I loved how they did a recap of all the one-time events on FFXIV's anniversary. I thought they would do that every year. Nope...
They should just have "one-time" events such as Lightning and Dragon Quest come back every few years. Offering what people missed and maybe something new.

I'm inclined to call "fat chance". Seasonal events do come back every year and the old stuff "used" to be offered at them, but it all changed when the cash shop nation attacked.

At this point, it's pretty much cash shop or nothing.

I been playing since alpha 2010 1.0..and so that being said...you know...when they swore that it would "never come back"? Well, my buddies and I all rushed to do it and then they brought it back. We were like hrm..okay, I guess so much for it never coming back. Just like...other things, which I won't say. >.> Anyway, I have 0 problem with them bringing it back..in fact they should just make it a quest or something so people can get it any time and have to stop askin for it.

I'm not being sarcastic either, 100% for real lol. No Mog station, no event thing...just make it a quest always there or somethin, cuz we see people asking for this all the time >.< While we're at it can we have more FF hair styles pleeeease ; ; I want Tifa lol

I like the quest idea actually, give everyone the option. While some don't like it I quite do, especially the hair lol. I even had my hair cut like hers in RL for a time.
Oooo yes Tifa's hair or Aeris!

A response would be nice. a lot of people like myself are still holding out hope that it will be added again eventually but it would be kinder if they would just tell us straight this is/isn't happening.

I was hoping with all the dev responses lately they would respond. im sure they have read this , i just made this thread to see if they could give us some insight on a matter thats been on the community's mind for a while

i would quite like for them to add XIII weapons for the missing classes, and either run the event again, or put a pack up on mogstation.

I'm sure they'll come back via mog station, seeing as how the dalamud earring came back.

that being said, i would rather not see the event again. because it wouldn't make much sense.

I'd love for them to come back as well.

They will probably add them to the mog station at some point. The real question is when? They've been really silent about this, and lots of people would gladly buy the lightning and snow costumes (it's not like they wouldn't profit from doing this).

There's really no reason not to put them up there, except for superficial reasons such as "ugh, everyone would be running around with lightning's hair, i hate it" or "i hate the mog station, they shouldn't put anything in there ever"

Don't forget the "It makes me feel special argument" Which makes me think they should add it even more...

Thing is, at one point the community reps (I wanna say it was Bayohne, I could be wrong it was a long time ago DID respond, saying they had no future plans to do it again, after the second event, and they turned around and ran it again during the summer (I wanna say i t was the 1 year anniversary?) so just because a rep says something, doesn't mean jack all. I say throw the event up again, who cares? It's not like it'll take away from dev resources to flag some already-made data again

You have a point, but this is more of a discussion for them putting it in the Mog Station is what I was speaking of. We've had literally no word yes/no/maybe/probably not about it, which I think is something that's agitating some people who would really like to get the items.

And yeah, honestly I agree, either throw the event up every year or so along with all the old spinoff events, or just throw the items in the station and let us be done with the entire thing. The resources are in the game either way, so it isn't like it'd be overly difficult to do either or.

Much as I'd like to get it for my alt account, I just don't think it's happening.

Lightning Returns was just released on PC and if they were ever going to run the event again, that was the time to do it, but as you're aware, that didn't happen so it seems very unlikely the event it self will ever run again, it just wouldn't make any sense with nothing linking to it.

Likewise they could have added it to the cash shop a long time ago, but if they were going to do that then they would have done it already. I thought perhaps they were holding out until the PC game released, but nope...

The items they added back to the cash shop were also either 1.0 items or from previous seasonal events, Lightning Returns items was a special, non seasonal event.

We just need to accept it's not coming back, sorry :(

Honestly I don't get the appeal of the games. Tried the original and felt like it was treating me like it was my first RPG which made me return it to the store within the hour. Despite seeing the gameplay for lightning returns and it did look interesting, got it on steam and its basically a "Hold this attack then switch to different class and repeat", so I got it refunded and pending on my $17.99 return now.

As for the outfit, I really hope they put it in the Mogstation only because, as I have said before, it doesn't matter if the event ran every month for a year, people who join tomorrow would complain about missing it.

All I want for Christmas is a simple yes or no to this coming back as an event OR as cash shop products. That’s not a bad thing, is it? D:

Like the other 30 topics about this that pop up often, they already brought it back 3 times, due to people begging for it, You probably won't get a 4th and even if you do, once that is over a few months later people who came back from break/1st timer players will ask if it's coming back again, and then then 6th time, and so on. yea, this won't end i guess.

If you're going to ask for cash shop option, May as well ask for all legacy items to be put there as well, so everyone can have everything.

As a legacy player, i think i can say... having monopoly on the legacy unique's for 3 years has been plenty to sate my special snowflakiness. I'd be fine with them offering them now. like say... add the Raven earrings to savage coil, put the goobbue onto the mogstation, add in a quest that grants the legacy tattoo if they wanted even.

We don't need to be super special anymore.

I'm aware about that, I was simply saying that a direct response wouldn't really amount to anything because they've gone back on it once before in the past, so it could easily be flip flopped again, if they said yes and then the team in charge of that said no, there'd be a huge riot, bigger than when they said no and then decided yes (and yes, people were pissed about it happening for the third time, even, for some reason I never quite understood)

Neither. I don't care about Lightning as such.
But have you looked at fem-Miqo'te hairstyles? Heck, female hairstyles in the game in general?

Lots of "D'aw!" and "Cutesy" cuts. Lots of waves, braids, ornaments and whatnot, especially when the hair gets longer. And if I finally get something to partially cover my forehead or eyes with, it's with soft bangs cut near the eyebrows.

That's the "only" reason I want that hair. The fact it's associated with Lightning is a downside in my book.
