The Events IMO

[Saccharin]

Ok, the lightning event was ok, we had gear from previous FF.
The event for the valentione's day was ok too. it had a story but no real reward.
Now, we get a stupid event with a minion that will last for 2 damn weeks.
WTH? can't we have real events with some real rewards that help us in-game ???
i'm paying this game to have updates every x day and events every x day.
what i see is not something that i will stay on for long.

You can't have events that give you in game performance benefit as that would make the compulsory.

What real life event is this supposed to mimic anyway?

Spring, but with peach blossoms instead with cherry blossoms
Ok, found it. It can be this japanese event:

Doll Festival (雛祭り Hina-matsuri?)

Date: March 3

Other Names: Sangatsu Sekku (3rd month Festival), Momo Sekku (Peach Festival), Joshi no Sekku (Girls' Festival)

Information: This is the day when families pray for the happiness and prosperity of their girls and to help ensure that they grow up healthy and beautiful. The celebration takes place both inside the home and at the seashore. Both parts are meant to ward off evil spirits from girls. Young girls put on their best kimonos and visit their friends' homes. Tiered platforms for hina ningyō (hina dolls; a set of dolls representing the emperor, empress, attendants, and musicians in ancient court dress) are set up in the home, and the family celebrates with a special meal of hishimochi (diamond-shaped rice cakes) and shirozake (rice malt with sake).

Or something total different again. Only the name "Peach Festival" refers to the coming event.

17th february 2011 was the first time of the event.

It was also the last "bell" event ^^

The next event after this should be the Hatching-tide event

I also like to add, playing a japanese game that did a valentine's event was stupid, they more so celebrate lil girls and lil boys day in japan, so this event actually makes more sense than the last.

Oh, please. Valentine is a very big deal in Japan.
