Am I the only one kind of disappointed about 2021 MoonFire Faire items?

Everytime it arrives, I expect to see some cute swimwear, but this time around, it’s just a polar bear mount. I’m so disappointed I don’t even want to continue typing.

You have a right to be disappointed as are others. To the people who want to tell us to be grateful, please sit down. We had multiple items to choose from last year, including glamour. I'm happy that people are enjoying the mount but it doesn't stop people from missing the staple of Moonfire which is swimwear. Us being upset shouldn't take away from you being happy with your mount. People used Covid as an excuse for last year's Moonfire too....but we still got swimwear. So what 's the excuse this year for stripping it down further and then chucking in 2-3 Mogstation items at the same time?

Side note: As someone who's in school currently for 3D design/clothing design...you can push out a brand new swimsuit that's form fitted in like....1-2h of work. Less if you're experienced. I really don't understand why we don't have any. Endwalker is fair enough but 1-2h isn't going to slow down progress by that much.

I can't stand the bear. I got it... but I don't like it. Polar Bears aren't meant to be cuddled.

I'm not disappointed in the rewards (you don't need a bunch of bathing suits) but I'm more disappointed that there's not much to do with the event, which is my complaint for quite a few of them. Then they took the tower away so not much to do there...

Yes, I don't need. But I want. Thank you. I like variety in my life and collecting. If you don't need/want a bunch of bathing suits, that's fair and you're more than welcome to feel that way. Just don't tell other people how to feel/allow others to want the things they want. :)

was expecing some water slide at least ....

You don’t “need” anything

I don't mind the rewards themselves. Of course, I wouldn't have said no to glamour as well.

I do agree more with the perspective that the bigger issue is a lack of things to do. I've played MMOs in the past where you basically are forced to schedule your game time during a seasonal event entirely around doing a regimented series of every single event activity every single day to get the rewards, and I very much don't want that. I appreciate that this event itself (and basically all FF holiday events) is just 30 minutes of story and that's it. That's a good thing to me. But I absolutely feel there should be more for people to do if they want to do it, especially since we have literally had more to do doing previous summer events.

Now, the summer fests in FF14 have always been weird because of how the summer fest is pretty much immediately followed by the anniversary event. I always tend to prefer looking at the two as a pair when it comes to balancing out rewards and content, and I'll be more inclined to weigh in completely after we know what The Rising will contain.

Not every year is a winner.

Not gonna lie, I'm kinda disappointed by the snow bear's appearance too.

It has no right looking as cuddly as it does.

To be fair your last sentence is an accurate statement about actual bears, imo.

In seriousness, I can understand this mount not being for everyone and disappointment in this event. I definitely agree they could have at least brought the tower back.

If the 'Black Summer' set was dyeable I'd be more inclined to agree. Unless you've been around for several years your options are very limited, very expensive, or cash shop exclusive. Shifting old event items to the cash shop instead of giving us the option to earn them in subsequent years is a shameful practice.

IMO they heads look "off". Like they came from a stylized children's storybook.

disappointed is a strong word but bummed out that we didn't get new glam, sure. But I have ideas as to why it was this way.

At least it was available ingame though, than the many store-exclusive stuff of which not a small number is quite high quality and nothing similar obtainable by "playing the game".
Considering the "looks" of the game has a very high stance with Glamour promoted as major part of the game, it turns to pay-to-win in that regards.

Yeah Moonfaire was definitely a miss this year. No jump puzzle and no cute glams. Hopefully next year is better. :(

To the people who replied to me, fair. I'm not one who enjoys wearing stuff like that, so I can see where you are coming from. There is a bit of a lack of those that you can buy in game.

LOL xD
LMAO

She is so done xD LMAO.

Would it have been nice to get another glamour? Sure, glamour is the true end game after all. BUT! At the same time, we need more space to store glamours(yes, I know, event items go into the armoire, but that doesn't negate the fact we need more space since those Mogstation items use up glamour dresser/retainer/armoury chest/inventory space).

I honestly would have been fine with the event if there was more to do, and less stuff that is limited in it's use. We need a fair bit more capacity to store housing items as well as the glamour stuff.

Polar bear :O

I'm more disappointed in not being able to use leftover faire tickets from last year. If they are so bothered with inventory slots, why bother making the same item each year have a different item ID?

I mean yeah the bear on starlight was better. And the eye on halloween. And the weird egg.

Plottwist, mounts were always bad, kinda. And players like glam more and just never put these mounts up again after getting them.

But it's no secret that they rotate what rewards you get. It's not like they roll a dice on what you get this year. It was always clear that if we got glam last year we won't get glam this year and yeah we got a set of glam last year so this year it's a mount. It's crazy how people still are amazed by this simple reward rotation.

If you want new beach clothes, take the sub fee money you didn't paid in past events and buy something from the mogstation, we also had to pay our sub fee to get stuff back then so it's just fair you have to pay too for the same stuff.

True for most events, kind of a first for Moonfire faire, double with the off season mount, I can see where people are coming from.

I highly encourage you to Google the lodestone articles for Moonfire Faire 2014-2020. All included glamour. This is the first year it has not happened. Please research next time before making statements about event rotations that don't apply to all.

I feel like the bear is a welcome change considering we already have a TON of summer/beach wear in the game already. We're not hurting for variety whatsoever in the swimwear department. And the previous years suits are super cheap on station anyways.......... Like it would have been ideal to push out a new glam alongside the mount but they've never done that for any event. lmao

I don't really care about the rewards, but the absence of the tower is a huge disappointment for me and just makes this a non-event; it's just a free mount they added to the game.

I much prefer the bear over another swimsuit. Then again, I'm not one for bikini cat girl glams.

The only bad thing about this event is no tower.

Really just happy to have the event at all. Was hoping for more glamour items but I will take the mount.

people should be more aware of that polar bears are going slowly to extinct by climate change or condition of their habitat

and no. im not dissapointed :o

The polar bear is just a reskin of the christmas bear as well.

We haven't had good seasonal events in quite a long time. I wonder if we ever will again. Even the stories/minigames that accompany them are lackluster compared to what we had in the past.

At least it was more than a random hat that 2 races can't even wear this time.

And the christmas bear is a reskin of the warrior bear mounts?? A lot of mounts (and mobs) are reskins of preexisting exoskeletons. Thats not necessarily a bad thing.

But honestly I feel like a mount is one of the better things we can get because it's more substantial than a minion or a random singular hat (which like you said two races cant even use). I feel like this event is fine for what it is and it's already probably better than what we're going to be getting for the rising. But thats just me rofl

Hopefully the halloween event will have something neat later this year but Im not holding my breath. Halloweens been disappointing even before the covid excuse...

I'm not doing it this year. It's a nice twist (the ice theme) but nah.
