I'll be honest; Halloween is my favorite holiday anyways. It's just a good, fun holiday. Last year's "Haunted Manor" I thought was a blast!
Well THIS year, I managed to get my sister into the game, and she's become obsessed with it! And like me, Halloween is her favorite holiday, too. So I obviously talked up how cool FFXIV's Halloween events are, with cool cosmetics, and last year's I thought was cooler than ever!
I just happened to see someone say lastnight, though, that the Halloween even is cancelled?!?
Say it ain't so?!?
If it's true, well, then at least it would be good to know. Would definitely be a bummer, though.
Is it true that Halloween in FFXIV is cancelled?

Unfortunately, so far as of this

Yes it is canceled but they're planning on extending the make it rain campaign to make up for it. -

Correct. They said a while back that for the sake of not pushing patches or other seasonal events back any farther they're going to skip Halloween this year and run one of the Gold Saucer events (which also didn't run as usual this summer) in its place.

Thankfully part of the event will be added to the Make it Rain event. Most likely guess is that it will be the rewards we would have gotten from Halloween.

From what they said yes and no. Sounds like the make it rain event and Halloween events are getting combined
-
09-30-2020, 02:39 AMAlestormI imagine it would be, otherwise the devs wouldn't have said anything. Or at least close enough they thought they could finish them. Either way I would have preferred All Saint's Wake over Make it Rain; but oh well at least the holidays are always different.Quote:

I wouldn't mind events being copy paste of last year's, given the circumstances, but I'm guessing that would have meant there wouldn't be anything to put on the store this time around.

This is the one thing I've been sad about... hope we get a huge blowout event next year.

09-30-2020, 05:28 AMMacleodYeah...200,000 MGP I think.Quote:

I'm not really sure why they couldn't throw a surprise Halloween event with the first/second year's data. I mean, yes I was there and yes there is some sense of pride in the whole "I was there! You weren't so if you want it, buy it on Mogstation!"
...but this isn't a normal case, and I'm sure some newer players would appreciate the older glamour. Even if it was literally last year's event repeated, would be better than nothing. -

they'll probably address it a bit in more detail during the next live letter which is pretty close to the upcoming event.
-
09-30-2020, 04:17 PMBrightamethystIt's probably about the rewards and quest completion and achievement data, and such. Just like how you can't redo other rerun events (DQ, FFXI, FFXIII, Yo-kai other than the new stuff, etc), they'd probably end up locking out anyone who did the quests the first time around if they just straight up reran a previous event.Quote:

The amount of players currently who completed that event is very likely a small percent of the population. Even I was there and did not get all the pumpkin heads, so even for me it would be good.Quote:

Unless that's changed, you can count on them releasing those rewards at that point, and it states that the campaign will be in effect for an extended period of time.Quote:
