01-31-2012, 11:06 PMAnimaIf you try to search for It, Kazuya Takahasi has actually done Early FFXIV Artworks, and I like his style as well as Akihiko Yoshida's (Actually, Tetsuya Nomura as well!)Quote:

It that because Love is Blind, and it is Hard to Heal a Broken Heart? -
01-31-2012, 11:51 PMFelisThey only have the same name for the event. In the XI event there is no Arabelle de Valentione mentioned in the story.Quote:

History
Currently observed throughout Eorzea, Valentione's Day was originally established to pay tribute to Countess Arabelle de Valentione of Ishgard—a remarkable woman who exhibited unparalleled courage in her quest for true love. In present day, it has become an occasion on which people express feelings of love and gratitude to those most important in their lives. This is commonly done via the exchange of simple chocolate bon-bons crafted specially by the giver.
While in recent years there have been complaints that the true spirit of the day has been grossly perverted—now little more than a marketing ploy conjured up by the Culinarians' Guild and the Company of Eorzean Kukuru Growers to increase sales of their products—this does not take away from the fact that countless people across the realm use this tradition to bring happiness to others. And isn't that what the countess would have wanted?

So no worries, he'll still be doing artwork lol. -
02-01-2012, 12:08 AMOnyricaYeah, but what about the chocolate heart-creating, chocolate heart-giving part of the quest?Quote:

That's sweet! The little items for the event look fun and I love how Se is adding new emotes for the events now. Makes it a lot of fun.
Edit: Anyone know if there will be an achievement for this event? -

They have no noses.
Not even dots for nostrils.
Absolutely no noses whatsoever.
Otherwise I love the artwork. -
02-01-2012, 02:50 AMOJtheLIONKing
I like the art for this. SE may have been going through some issues lately, but they still seem to have about the best artists in the business for this kind of thing.
As far as the event, I like doing this kind of pointless seasonal event, maybe moreso now that they're associated with achievements, so I can't wait. -
