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

[miqokini]

As I assumed, Yoshi-P confirmed today that the event will start early August. Why can't they just give us a set date? ;;

Knowing Yoshi-P, early August could mean August 14th...

Guys, let's hear your suggestions on what you want to see for SummerFest in FFXIV!

• Various choices of swimwear (thong bikinis, one-piece suits, tanktops, etc for the ladies; speedos, swim trunks, etc for the men).

I was really hoping for something like this; at least there would be some variety. Alas. The bikini designs make the ladies look like teenage twigs to me. The thought of being surrounded by characters running around in them is kinda revolting. At least the ones in FFXI were cute. These ones look like they were designed for bodies that our characters don't have.

And the guys! So how about a little quid pro quo then? Highlander Hyur undies are sexier than what the fellas are getting.

delete summer events and instead focus those resources on fixing core issues in the game. +1

I disagree. Ok, maybe the Miqo'tes look a bit on the thin side, but twigs? Come on... And the Hyurs look perfect. Just because they don't have love handles hanging over the sides of their bottoms does not mean they are twigs.

If you think that this doesn't look good, then you need to get your eyes examined.

people on this forum don't like suggestions =\

No, it's just that people on most forums just hate everything in general. A large portion of the forum community is just disgruntled players voicing their opinions and/or suggestions, for better or worse. Mostly what the forums are for I guess. If people were ultimately happy with the game, they'd be playing it and chatting in game rather than here. People at work should be what their paid for. As for me... I'm getting ready for bed, and nosy and what to see what people are sayin lol

As for the topic, lots of good suggestions.. Not much of my own. I'd love if they implemented some cool fireworks a-la-FFXI. Swimsuits are in so a big LOL to all the people at the start of the thread screaming "NOOO LAZERSWORDSWIMSUITS" :P

Yukatas would have been sweet too </3 maybe next year.

I guess I just hope most of all that it's something more interesting than "1) trade this item to this player, for a new item. 2) Collect this set of items by repeating #1, 3) get crafters to make your finished item so they feel important".

FFXI's were never ultra extravagant and they did a lot of this too, btu there was others. Like killing giant boxes for random stuff, or fighting stuff with wooden katanas lol
