FFVII Anniversary needs a crossover event

Got an email yesterday about the anniversary of one of Final fantasy's most loved installments and saw that SE is going all out on the celebrations.
Statuettes, cross over events in other multi player games etc

So im left wondering, Why does FFXIV never take part in something i know people would REALLY enjoy?
Is SE such a small indie company they wont spare the budget to put anything into this game as well despite doing it for their others?
I know the 25th isn't as big as a milestone as the 20th, but they didn't even do one for that.
I feel like the only addition that ever seems to get any real love when it comes to FFXIV is FFIV.
Yes i haven't forgotten that Knights of the Round, Goldsaucer and the Weapons are in game, Im talking about something more direct however, like we had with FFXIII and FFXV's crossover's.

*Snip, removed the uneeded aggressive stuff after re-reading in a less emotional state*

Even the 15 event really only came once the hype around it was over and put on life support by its retcons DLCs. Same as NieR Automata's Alliance raids.

It does take Square a while to do things, likely because they plan this game way in advance, and by the time they're able to squeeze in something people liked, the hype around it is over.

I'm hoping next year with the Remake's second episode being released (and the re-release of Crisis Core and the entire Compilation's mobile adapation Ever Crisis) that may give the intiative to finally add a FFVII Crossover special event here in FFXIV... but... nothing has been stated (Yoshi is on record stating his personal favourite FF game is FFVII, so... there is hope yet).

I admit though I just want Aeris Aerith's original FFVII outfit as glamour for my WHM, if I can have that I'll be a very happy miqo'te. :D

One might be nice, but what would that even be? What would we get? We already have some items from that game.

The team seems very much committed to sticking to XIV only this expansion and working on things like future-proofing. Aside from new seasonal goodies, I don't see them doing any kind of new crossover anytime soon.

In commenting above about asking if SE wont provide funding, im left suddenly wondering something, in this game we seem to always bee 'behind' on features, or missing content, or content that needs fix's and updates (Viera/Hroth hair and hats? Them mostly being done unpaid in free time?), and its left me starting to wonder.... is this a funding issue?
Or are we getting excuses not too support the game beyond what their single player games get? Or some other reason?

Im starting to feel lately that we are being told its 2+2 and the answer is 6 when it should be 4 on why things are the way they are.

A crossevent exclusive to PS4/PS5 players
Then reoccurs later but watch out! It's exclusive to players with Epic-accounts only.
Years later, it will be available to the rest of us, but guess what? It's only part 1 of the event!

I have no use for VII, but it would be funny if we got a fashion accessory that's Sephiroth's sword poking through our middle.

maybe for the final installment. but crossovers/collaborations take at LEAST a year to plan and implement. so it's not like they can just whip something up on the fly.

Would it be wrong to say I wouldn't mind having Cloud's second dress option from the remake so my character can wear it for shiggles? Tiara, wig and makeup included ... now I wanna play that honey bee inn scene again...

Give me the Honey Bee Cloud hairstyle please

Good points here ty all.

Lol ok the Cloud dress would probably make me Fanta male even!
I entered the last Screenshot contest with Clouds hair as my desired prize, no word on winners that i have seen yet but fingers crossed.
Would be hilarious being pretty princess Cloud in XIV, would show all the cross dressing male Viera currently in game how its done XD

I feel like this community would very much appreciate getting Tifa's blue dress from FFVII Remake. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Sure. I wouldn't mind updated Tifa and Cloud glam outfits.

Would be nice but frankly as regular content release schedule is being stretched more and more, i doubt that we will see new cross over anytime soon.

Tifa and Barret glams and I'm in. And Cloud's dresses available to both genders.

The crossover is Gold Saucer and Weapons trial :)

Maybe a Combat Simulator event on both ends? Like some kind of inter-dimensional event connecting both worlds via that... Or whatever, they can come up with something, it's high fantasy anyway.

As for the rewards... as far as outfits, we only have Cloud AC and his hairstyle ( limited availablity). They could put Tifa, Aerith, original Cloud, Barret... even Turk suits would be really nice. And their hairstyles to match.

Yeah that would be cool.
lol The Blue truck as a 5 person mount from the Cycle minigame.

Before EW launch I believe they mentioned looking into an ff7 event, but they wanted to focus getting EW off the ground and to catch up with development after covid delays 1st... So in all likelihood prolly wont see one for a very long while, maybe 2nd part hopefully but more likely as far as by 3rd part...

Reno's rat tail and spikes, yes please!

More crossover events should happen more when there isn't a whole lot in-between patches. So far 15 got an event and a rerun, 13 had a event years ago and a rerun but that was so long ago you'll think they will run it again, cuz why not, its fun. Even gacha games gets more crossovers.

Vincent Valentine costume, please.

I don't want an "event" I'd prefer a trial a la Rathalos so its always there and they cant milk mogstation bucks out of people who missed an event.
Trial boss: Jenova•LIFE (ie the famed Aerith death boss).
Trial EXTREME: Jenova•Life->Synthesis.
Rewards for drop items: Ex-Soldier Turtleneck, Ex-Soldier Gauntlet, Ex-Soldier Bags, Ex-Soldier Combat Boots, Buster Sword (drk weapon glam), Flower Girl Orchestrion Roll, Foreign Parasite Orchestrion Roll, Bombing Mission roll, Soldier 1/35 minion, Lucky Bronco mount (2 seater).
Im honestly amazed Clouds gear isnt in game its so iconic his hair is a twitter reward ffs.
You KNOW gposers would kill and die for that sleeveless turtle neck.
