Summer Festival in FFXIV (Let's hear your suggestions!)

[Malakhim]

Hot ladies in swimsuits.

That's what summer is really about.

[Kio]

A giant beach ball which people have to attack with a weapon to keep it up in the air, when it falls and touches ground for a period of time you lose.

[LlenCoram]

I just want a date.

[Seif]

Maybe a quest to obtain a new dance move? Or a quest with a cutscene in it. It would be refreshing to see an even quest that isn't cheap filler content.

If one were to go the the PC XIV message board on GameFAQs, one would find a thread titled, "HOT DAMN!!! *caps*". In this thread, one would find links to some very nice pictures...

Swords flying in midair, nice.

Looking at the items list at ffxivpro http://www.ffxivpro.com/update/2011-07-22 we may be geting our handheld fireworks! So a bit excited about that! ^_^

I'm also wondering if the swimwear will be certain gender only? I really like the swim trunks, but I have a female chara. ^_^;

Yep, and this, and this, and this!

"Swords" are going to be "flying in midair" in more than just one way, I'm afraid... :P

EDIT: Hurray for handheld fireworks!!! I have great memories of just sitting in Bastok and celebrating with my friends, putting on our own little display. <3

Hurray for handheld fireworks!!!

Not so happy about that yet.
I'm afraid they are going to be really small and useless and a huge letdown.
Also, I bet there won't be big fireworks if we get small ones for ourselves ;-;

What makes you think that? XI had sparklers and tracers that were pretty neat. And they may be "useless" but not if you're using them for fun -- the whole point. XI also had big fireworks in their event, so I'm guessing we will, too.
