Lightning Strikes a Third time ?

[Ecks007]

This is more or less for the people who haven't yet had the chance to do the event, and the PS4 players (who fall into the former category as well).

Personally, I am not really a fan of them doing these events again just to appease newer players that may have started playing due to the PS4 launch. This was something that was suppose to be a one time event in order to promote specific SE games. The only reason the Lightning Returns event was held twice in the past was for the JP and NA launches of the Lightning Returns game. (which was already more than generous enough for them to have done)

But now they're doing it a third time, for no better reason that to appease the players that cried because they didn't get a chance to do it the first two times? Give me a break.

So much for limited time events and the gear associated with them. Makes the whole thing seem cheap to me. Why I bet in a year's time we'll get to have Lightning Strikes a fourth time for all the "new" players that again didn't get to participate in the 3rd time the event's been live, and then a year later after that.

Why don't we just set up a vendor and sell all the gear for 1 gil all year 'round, because this Limited time event isn't actually so limited. That way nobody will whine and cry that it wasn't fair that they didn't get to do or finish the event.

Listen, SE, if you guys are going to do special events in game and then make them not so special by making them reoccurring things.. just stop. Don't even bother. Just stick to you Holiday event's because at least we know those are always reoccurring.

Hate to be "that guy" but is this 100% confirmed?

Yes, it was at the end of the Live Letter this morning. They will not only be redoing the Lightning Returns Event, but also the FFXI and Dragon Quest Collaboration Events.

Nothing is sacred.

It's SE though. You know the very people who said preorder drakenguard 3 for this exclusive content! Only to throw it all in the Psn store later. Same deal with FF13-3, "come get it now guys while supplies last!!" -throws all dlc on Psn later-

Only thing I've seen stay exclusive are earrings and a couple if others lol the moon one and the mog ones, as well as that contest bandana mask and 2 mounts,gloves,goggles,dala horn.. Probably a little bit more.. Everything else has been fodder for rerererelease.

So.. I'm gonna ask what stops them from releasing that stuff again?

I sure do miss my bomb earring. Shouldn't have started over when I returned. /regret.

Good news something at the Tokyo game show is called the cactuar Lotto 2 (the original being where we got the first ones) so even that's no longer limited time exclusive

Thank you for finally posting an official source. I will now gladly retract my previous stance on this.

Last I heard, they specifically said they weren't doing it again when asked. There's no chance at getting the gear or hairstyles ever again. They are now unobtainable.

Then explain this:

Clearly, Lightning doesn't want to belong to the FF13 franchise.
