Little Ladies' Day Event 2025 (3rd March to 17th March)

https://lds-img.finalfantasyxiv.com/...IGeYhxJeYs.jpg

Unisex, dual color AND has pockets.

I'm ready for my J-pop Idol era

Because we all should dress like we're at an Adam Ant concert circa 1980. ;)

More interesting is the artwork for the event showing Thancred with Minfilia... considering she's kind of um.. you know... 'permenantly indisposed', I wonder how this fits into the quest storyline.

They said in the last LL that, from now on, the artwork for events would feature old character that might not be in the event.

just another holiday glam to add to my armoury that i'll never use

They explained that the characters in the story may change depending on MSQ progress.

If a new player does this who is still in ARR, then it makes sense for them to appear. However, the characters may change depending on the story progression.

Unisex, throw it into the trash.

Squint and you'll also see that Thancred is wearing a certain necklace that raises some questions.

I wonder if the artist was given the in-game model from ARR as a reference.

Speak to NPC A
Speak to NPC B
Speak to NPCs C, D and E
Speak to NPC F
Speak to NPC B again
Speak to NPCs C, D and E again
Speak to NPC B again
Speak to NPC A

Great event

Ermmm, excuse me?

They put in their best effort, so please stop being so negative.

We need to coddle them and remind them that this is far more than we deserve.

This glam looks so good! I can't wait to see how it dyes.

It would be cool if the quest featured Thancred and Minfilia. Maybe in flashback sequence?

This glam fits my WoL so much. Very excited!

Loved the artwork for this one. I miss Minfilia!

Finally. They prove again how superior their content is. So good and flexible, very innovative and I love that we are in this timeline. Ffxiv forever and we need to support them with more money. I hope they give us more cashshop items, mounts, emotes and tiered subs so we can donate even more for the future

Even aside of Yoshida saying they'd only be on the artwork, not in the quest, it's a level 15 quest and she's not going to be "permanently indisposed" for quite some time yet.

At this point it's best to try to ignore these people. I mean one person spent all day complaining about the Moogle event yesterday. Post after post. It's not that deep, dude! lol

So, what do we deserve for a quest that anyone level 15 and up can play through?

Perhaps a FATE near Black Brush station suitable for level 15 players that you can play through? How about a 15-part Fetch Quest in and around Ul'dah, Gridania and Limsa Lominsa? Or a 10-part Speak to A, travel, Speak to B, travel, rinse-repeat quest? Perhaps join in on the only level 15 dungeon for 12 minutes?

I am amused at the thought that a Holiday Event accessible by extremely low-level characters should be complex in resolution.

Unironically - yes to the fate bit, no to 2nd and 3rd (they are fundamentally the same event design that we have now), and yes to the last. Or, bring back the singing chocobo minigame with a different song and the songbirds. Anything that goes beyond "go to NPC and click talk", that actually encourages players to do more than just read.

I am amused by the generic forum poster who thinks its okay for this game to strip every ounce of gameplay from every aspect whatsoever in the pursuit of accessibility. Humans are generally capable of learning, adapting, and figuring out a path forward. Even newcomers to this game, you'd be surprised.

At least we get a cool glamourable item out of it this time. I can see parts of the outfit working for all kinds of glams.

I don't get why they won't at least reimplement the minigames from the years they were still trying. Even if there weren't any rewards, it'd be something to do for fun.

Love the glam. Can't wait to get it.

I know they said they would use old characters on artwork that may not be in the event but I'm still curious if she will be somehow and what kind of emotional damage we'll get because of it.

Ah, yes. Let’s water down every event to accommodate low-level/free trial players and keep every event confined to the starter cities with the same tired formula, instead of, you know, maybe doing something in the new expansion zones?
Maybe, just MAYBE, incorporate past event rewards in a way that actually gives existing players a reason to engage with the various other content this game has to offer (as shallow as it may currently be)?

Or, crazy thought, I know, use these events to experiment with new gameplay elements and gather player feedback before committing to something massive in the next expansion that could turn into a dumpster fire nobody asked for?

But no, that’s far too sensible. Let’s keep expectations at rock bottom so we can all stay thrilled by copy-paste content and the occasional reskinned dungeon.

Jeez...

Look, you can make arguments about the quality of the events but the reason they take place at the starter cities at low level is because they're free content meant to be accessible to just about everyone (I say just about because there is at least the level 15 requirement).

The fantastic Halloween events with the haunted houses, the Valentione event with the maze, the Rising where we met the devs or the one where we rescued the Wandering Minstrel - all those and more took place in starter cities. They don't put these events in expansion zones because that's putting a price tag on what's supposed to be additional free content.

I personally am hyped for the glam and can't wait to get my hands on it.

I also have no issues with the events taking place in and around the starter cities, I remember fondly being very excited as a sprout when I did the easter event and I had not even stepped into my first dungeon, lol. I wouldn't want new players to be denied that.

Why is it a bloody prince outfit when it is LITTLE LADIES DAY. WTF SE.

Take a look through literally any of these and you can see what a real Final Fantasy seasonal event should look like.

It doesn't need to be an incredibly complex thing, but it certainly should be interesting, engaging and fun to do. Defending the absolute bare minimum does not help the game, it harms it.

Unironically yes. FFXI is a much, much better MMO than FFXIV is in pretty much every aspect aside from graphics.

You will never see a cutscene in FFXIV as animated as this.

FFXI really hit its stride in CoP and esp WotG when it came to cs. They did some amazing things and yet I remember ppl here freaking out when Thancred sat himself down in a chair and grabbed a drink. If they only knew.... lol

To be fair though, after replaying FFXI with a fresh character during this lull we are having, I realized I had forgotten just how much much better written FFXI is. Not to mention how much personality the characters had, esp in comparison.

Yeah, that's the thing that really gets me lol. People rave about how good FFXIV's story is, they really need to experience FFXI's.

They did so many things better. Just look at Blue Mage. From lore to gameplay it is a chef's kiss. Here we get a mediocre side show that can't even participate in normal content. It's like, what happened to that talent?

I like the glam. It's very FF Type-0 reminiscent.

Well you also have to remember the same development team for FFXI is the one who gave us 1.0 so it's not like they always produce gold.

You mean the one when the director got a lil too big for his britches and decided to stop listening to the alpha/beta testers and other ppl on his team or in the company and just did things the way he saw fit and the way he thought was fun instead of taking feedback from literally any source into consideration. That one? hmmmmm sounds spookily familiar lol

You're hyped for the reward, not the event.
These events are terrible and have been for a while.
The last good idea they had was that valentines dungeon where you and a partner go through it together, more like that and less pointless fetch quests
