New Holiday Event Idea. The Fall of Dalamud/Meteor Remembrance Day.

[normalforce]

while I like the idea, I have to disagree with the premise that it fits with the Lore. the fall of Dalamud was a calamity in the land of eorzea. it's not something they would celebrate. to give an analogy, we wouldn't celebrate 9/11 here in the US. we have a solemn remembrance of that date each year but we don't throw carnivals lol.

What about a holiday like Memorial Day? It's not really a somber day for the US.

True, but memorial day doesn't focus on any specific disaster, it's more a day of thanks for what our fallen troops gave. Further it is in fact a somewhat bleak holiday, in which many choose to visit graves and cemeteries, and hold ceremonies there for the purpose of remembrance... That said, let's have a BBQ for this dalamud day XD

You have made some pretty good points. Going on more of a Memorial Day route perhaps make it Louisoix Day lol. A day of remembering him and the others for everything they did to save the realm.

Also with Memorial day, don't forget all the "memorial days sales" we have at retailers across the country along with the BBQs. lol.
