Lightning Event - Returning Player

[Enkidoh]

The Dragon Quest and FFXI events though were held for other reasons - they were crossover events to celebrate the eleventh anniversary of FFXI's start of service, and the first anniversary of DQX's start of service (both those games had FFXI and FFXIV crossover events too incidentally). Still, it's possible SE may bring them back (along with the FFXIII event), but it's still very unlikely either way sadly.

But anniversaries come around each year, and this shows they consider anniversaries worth putting in events for. They could recycle the release event for FFXIII:LR into an anniversary event. Next November/December would be the first anniversary of FFXIII:LR and the fifth anniversary of the original FFXIII. That could provide enough of an excuse if they want to put it back in. So it sort of comes down to is it popular enough that they'll want to bring it back.
