It's in Japanese, but it seems like it starts on Nov 10.

It's also been announced on the ffxiv Facebook page: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...d=116214575870

So is this a sequel or repeat? If its the latter, I'm hyped cuz I wasn't there for the first one.

Hell I'm still hyped either way cuz of the glams.

It seems likes it's repeat similar to the yokai repeat.

I wonder if they're gonna give us anything new soon.

There's only been one instance of a returning crossover event giving extra rewards the second time around (the Dragon Quest event, which added Slime Earrings in addition to the earlier rewards), but I don't see SE adding any new rewards to this (lets not also forget when the FFXIII event last returned SE did not add any new event weapon for the then-recently introduced ROG/NIN).

She already is. SAM in FFXI followed different rules when it came to weapons (they can use polearms, which are usually associated with DRG's).

I wish they would give us her lance and hair style too or even a minion of Iroha, also make her outfit dyeable too please SE!

I need her hair and lance! 8T

FFXI Shantotto, XIII and DQ has been repeated couple times since their initial events. Same now with Yokai

Nothing wrong with repeating an event. Lightning Returns also got a repeat back in the day. Good for people who missed it the first time, and FFXIV seems to have many new players.

I didn't do this FFXI event the first time because I didn't have any character who would suit that armour. Now I might do, so I'm glad the event is returning ^^

I like when they repeat cross over events, I can get the stuff on this character since I switched servers. If only there was a threepeat of the lightning event... >.> I hate lightning but I love the gear.

I think its about time SE stop making events with the word exclusive in them. Its really a slap in the face, I won't get into it and won't respond to anyone on this topic either. But from now on lets just call all events, cross over events, etc, constantly recurring events! this way its not confusing and sounds better.

well they are exclusive, outside of the event or maybe the mog station, where are you getting the rewards the events give? Sounds pretty 'exclusive' to me.

No Lightning event anymore, now that the gear is in the mog shop.

It was the King Slime Crown actually. The Slime Earrings were from one of the server raffles, like most other earrings of iconic enemies.

I'm aware. I was more or less commenting in regards to completely new events as opposed to repeats. Not that I mind this coming back tbh, just that I would be more excited about an event I haven't done before. :3

So for this event, is the reward only a shantotto minion or is there anything else to it? I was on hiatus during the last one so I missed it unfortunately.

It's unknown, but it's likely it will not be the original FFXI event which indeed rewarded a Wind Up Shantotto minion (that event was to coinicide with FFXI's eleventh anniversary of service and tied in with the FFXI A Shantotto Ascension mini expansion).

Most likely this will instead be the second FFXI event featuring Iroha that is connected to the FFXI Rhapsodies of Vana'diel missions that officially completed FFXI's storyline - the reward for that event is Iroha's Eastern-themed armour (head, body, feet, legs and hands).

In fact, given the Far Eastern connections of Stormblood, it's almost guaranteed to be the Iroha event, meaning if you missed out on the Shantotto minion, you're out of luck sadly.

It would be nice if they actually /do something with Iroha/ since the last time it was made clear that she just continued to wander Eorzea unable to return back to Vana'diel >.>

Ahh gotcha, thank you for the explaination! I personally would have loved to see a giant Shantotto though.

FFXI is also getting ffxiv (and DRAGON QUEST X ONLINE) event this November.

This is nice for the newbies who joined in stormblood and missed it I guess, but I already have my gear, and it's not really a seasonal event you help others with or can do for the fun of it.

And I was right, it's confirmed: the FFXI event is the second one, the one that featured Iroha, and it's also confirmed there is no new gear or items offered this time, it's the same reward.

So if you already completed that event the first time then you can't do it again, but you can still participate in the fun special FFXI-themed FATEs that are a part of it (the 'Dooms party'-parody battle on the beach at Bloodshore against Robber Crabs, the fight against Serkhet in the desert in Southern Thanalan, the fight against Kindred outside Haukke Manor, and the parody 2.3 story mission battle against Dark Dragon and Spotter next to Camp Bronze Lake.). :)

Look good on a samuria

I am glad this is returning for those who missed it! Awesome :)

However I wonder..will see a new FFXI event? Or any at all? Yokai Watch was just redone too..I am all for re-releasing events..super happy about it, I just wish at the same time we could get some new ones too! ^^
