Halloween Event request (Ring vs Grudge)

So um....I know its gonna sound rreeeaaallly silly but, can we have a ring vs. grudge event?

spooky pic, not for weak of anything :/

I'm not using Yokai Watch as an excuse because I'd rather forget that tub of-

Take 2: - I'd rather not talk about it, but October is coming up and I saw this awesome movie on youtube. Eorzea technically doesn't have any tv's regardless of their aircrafts, automated turrets, magitechs and other controversal stuff but maybe Sadako (Ring girl) can come out of a crystal or something. And Kayako (Grudge lady) can immigrate her refuge in the old hermits hut in Outer Lanoscea like she's always been there but no one said anything. Also make em T-rated, yeah rated r w/e.

Anyways, I'd rather have more spooks than pranks on these October events and I think it'd be a nice change for once. If you ask me, Edda is the least scary character in this game. She's just sad when you think about it. The fact she carries a severed head isn't really that creepy, but seems more of a need to cling on to what she has left (even if its plain barbaric). Not like we ever heard of her family anyway so it make sense.

So Ring/Kayako event. Or something equally spooky. Tired of the flashy wannabe funnies on these events. Even the Pumpkin head guy or whatever is really getting boring. Oh no he's plotting something, ahhh.... Thats not scary or setting a tone. He's talking in the background while I run around doing holiday fetch quests. Ok, rant request done.

While Edda itself isnt creepy enough, her ghost actually is... ... ...

Actually, if we're going by the original book the movie is based on, Sadako can manifest herself in any reflective surface. It's just for the movie that they had her come out of the TV to add some weirdness. Kayako isn't really bound to the place where she was murdered either. She can been seen in many places during the movies.

And well, Edda isn't really creepy, but neither is Sadako if you know her backstory. Kayako on the other hand is pretty vengeful though, but it's somewhat understandable.

I just imagine it'd be amusing to walk around Eorzea to find some guys face all messed up from her and we investigate (Not like Hildabrand's faces lol). Also I need to watch the japanese version of the Ring at some point. Heard the American version didn't do it justice. :/

The remake wasn't bad really, obviously the effects were quite a bit better. The original Japanese version had a way smaller budget, but I prefer the original. There's also a Japanese sequel, which I didn't like that much, and a prequel which shows the backstory of Sadako. Prequel is loosely based on the book as well.

The book isn't really horror, it's more of a detective/thriller type of story with supernatural elements. Still a good book though, I actually just finished re-reading it a couple of days ago, and currently going through the 2nd book :)

I was never into that ring/grudge stuff. I would however like a ghost busters event to take some revenge on the yo-kai.

Sony wouldn't agree unless it was the latest Ghost Busters movie, in which case Oh God Nooooo. I'd be all on it if it was based off the originals though. I outta check what they have on the spook factor in japan. Maybe a Death Stranding crossover :O

Ju-on remake is so bad don't even bother (I hate the English version).
English version of Ringu is okay though.

If we're going for Asian horror in general though maybe a "Tale of Two Sisters" event, ahahahahaha (don't even speak to me about that remake it's probably literally the worst one). Also Audition. That'd be fun.

How would this work? I don't care honestly.

Stop badly remaking Asian horror movies 2k16

Tale of Two Sisters and Audition are great.


How about dumplings? Although that special ingredient might not go down well with a lot of people ;)

an Edda ghost storyline would be epic for Halloween

All I want for Halloween is the Thriller dance.


Runner up would be "emotes" that let us shapeshift as we have in past events whenever we like. It would be temporary, like 30s-1m amd would be broken by entering combat mode or by drawing your weapon.


I don't think I'll get shapshifting but need to shiver... for no mere mortal can resist..... the awsome of the THRILLER!

Just have Takashi Miike write the Halloween scenario.

I can't seem to find a subtitled version or mention of it in the US. Guess its a bit early? Also another idea, Their outfits. That would be sweeeeet. If I could walk around with spooky Ring hair that would be the best thing ever lol. Also Kayako's make up too with the outfit. Maybe some creepy movement emote with it X)

You know I'd except Edda more if they did more scary stuff with her. Like make her body contort creepily as she moves or hide from the players sight like one of those "Badum!" moments where she's in the window or something. Its just awkward at this point where she just reminds me of the Ascian boss fight where they grow in size and suddenly they're a threat now.....I need to get my horror fix lol

The halloween story always begin with imp disguise as human to trick wol to help them. So idk what's the story for edda for halloween

Edda's been and gone and all over now. They gave her final ending with PotD.

I would love something creepy, and it would be a chance to expand upon the creepy ghosts in Eorzea. We don't have enough.

Maybe some sort of hunt where we have to hunt down some scary ghosts in a forest or something. The ghosts warp around and can appear suddenly next to you. Pity we don't have any proper dense dark forest type maps.

I want a real scary event, but dont think this will ever happen in FFXIV.

Actually in the japanese movies Sadako can totally come out of any reflective surface. One couple died when she came out of the windshield as they were driving. We just don't see how it happened. That's the main problem with the murican one. It shows too much. Samara's victims look like they were sucked dry while we are left wondering how Sadako actually kills. I saw the western version first with no effect, but was terrified during and after the original one.

But her haunting ghost is still out there... ... ...

And will probably remain as a ghost who only appears in Gridania, Limsa Lominsa and Ul'dah (so far not found?). Just a memory.

True, although I don't think they actually show that? I can't remember, been a while since I saw it, need to find the DVDs and watch them again :)

Show what? Being sucked dry? No, but the victioms look like mummies as far as I can remember. For Sadako they are just dead.

Sorry, I meant show her coming out of a reflective surface. I think they only ever show her coming out of a TV?

In the book they actually leave it fairly ambiguous whether or not she manifests at all.

Yes they only show the TV. Once at the very end. But in the beginning several deaths are mentioned regarding the video tape. Some people died far from a TV but all had a reflective surface near them. So the TV is hinted to be the primary method of manifestation, but other ways are substituted to make sure everyone reaches the 7 day DEADline. Never read the books, but wouldn't mind to get my hands on them.

How about an event that requires you to be out at night in the Black Shroud, but avoid being killed by a giant, bald, undead Roegadyn in an Ash Mask who can one shot you dead. You can call him Mason Hoorvees!

OMG that'd would be awesome. And it'd wouldn't be a fate but an enemy mob that has no reset spawn unless you make it into a town or another instance. Give em a giant looking Machete Axe since Edda took the scythe weapon (Grrr...). That would be the best thing ever. Also to make it fair players would be warned that'd Mason Hoorvees will stalk them at night if they activate the quest. Or they could make em a Odin like quest but not a fate in any way so we can get his costume if we defeat em or survive his stalking X)
