FFXIV Anniversary

Just began playing XIV this year so I haven't experienced any of the previous anniversary events. Are there typically in-game things to do and are they worth it?

Thanks!

Oh yes. Last year's was an event that took the idea of a dev room easter egg that had the crew giving heartfelt thank yous to us players.

My fav was the guy riding the backwards horse complaining about Atma drops. Good times.

I recommend watching this video, just to give you an idea. They did that last year, thanking all the playerbase for supporting the game and giving us a little insight to the behind the scenes through recreating the FFXIV dev team in game.

Could've swore XIV was older than 3 years. Guess 1.0 never happened.

What is this 1.0 you speak of?

Thanks for the info everyone. I will check out the link after work.

I remember in XI they did the player appreciation stuff which was pretty cool so I look forward to this. Kind of wish they did the Moogle Bonanza thing but I understand that Jumbo Cacpot sort of serves to replace that in a way.

1.23 was a great time, better than most of the stuff we have now.

lolno. It had its moments, but there was way less to do and most of it involved burning millions on overmelds and speedrunning the 2 dungeons that existed for darklight gear. there were only 3 primals as well.

I liked standing around Upper Limsa listening to the Reprised version of Answers. I think this was the year before last. It's a nostalgic event.

I made a video of the event to take in the song. Though it's in the Mist and not in the city.

1.0 is older than 3 years. ARR is only just about to hit 3 years. :3

Regarding this, do you guys know if the 14h live will have an "auto translate" or if it will only be japaness ?
Also, did they do this before and if yes, why should we expect from that live ?
