    I disagree. You may not be a fan of it, but (like it or not) at this point Lightning is part of FFXIV's lore. We don't get to choose which parts we consider canon (that privilege goes to the designers), and the developers can have Lightning return for whatever reason they can fancy - if that is their desire.

    All these "there's no point for her to return" comments don't work. Let the developers figure out what the point would be (if they want the event back for new players (and old players who are fans)). And if it shows up, and you're not interested in it, then just ignore it.

    I had fun with the Heavensturn event, but completed it on day 1. It has and will continue to go on for two weeks beyond that, with people running around still participating in it every day, dragging sheep everywhere while donning silly hats. Should I be looking at it as a "circus" that has long overstayed its welcome simply because I've already had my fill of it?

    Except they do. The Lightning Returns event was a prequel to the Lightning Returns game. Now that the game is a year old now (and done with), there's no point to bring this event back (thus why some of us are saying it would seem SE has run out of ideas when every other event they've made has been different in one way or another). There's also no way for SE to bring Lightning back to Eorzea in a new FFXIII event because of how Lightning Returns ended. If they brought Lightning back to FFXIV in a new event, they would be breaking FFXIII's lore, which is something Yoshi-P himself said they would never do.

    Dead characters or characters finished with their story (or something lore related. Word of God says Red XIII, for example) can not enter Eorzea.

    Didn't stop them from bringing the event back for the anniversary.
    I think what he meant was NEW events won't feature characters that are dead or have their story completed, since the Lightning Strikes quests can only be completed once, therefore she technically only comes to Eorzea once from your character's perspective.
    So, as I mentioned earlier, the most likely time they'll bring the event back is for the anniversary.

    Yes, that is all true, but when asked if we would ever seen Lightning again since her story has ended, the response given stated that as Lightning is an extremely popular character there is always the possibility that she would still show up in other Final Fantasy titles as a guest character. In other words, don't rule the possibility of seeing her again out.

    In the end the developers can do whatever they feel justified in doing. It's their game, and their story to tell, and they do seem to enjoy appeasing their fans (not just the ones who need to feel like they're part of an exclusive club and veto everything). Maybe Lightning returns in a future event, maybe she doesn't.. it just seems kind of silly to be so opposed to it.

    They only did a XIII event cause they needed to bring attention to it cause no one wanted it just look at the initial sales of the game, less then 300,000 people bought lightning returns.

    @ OP: This event has happened twice already, I wouldn't be surprised if they do it again.

    This is the sort of content I'm fine with putting on the Cash Shop.

    And that was pushing it as there was no reason to make the event happen again (not from a lore perspective nor for promoting another game. It was just there just because). I personally would prefer new events for the anniversary of the game in 2015, not recycled events from 2013. As for the items themselves, they can either remain as exclusive event items for the cool kids club or be put into the cash shop.

    Mostly opposed against the event for lore reasons, for both games. Yes, the FFXIV team could make Lightning appear again in a completely new event, but then that would be breaking FFXIII's lore in so many ways (Lightning Returns ending reasons).

    For those who have seen the screenshots of the Golden Saucer their is a Gilgamesh vibe to some of the areas suggesting that the production of the Golden Saucer and it's entertainment value also took inspiration from the mysterious traveler Gilgamesh, a being who from past FF titles is known to traverse dimensions and obtain the weapons of defeated heroes.
    You should mind, it's a horrible practice. I applauded SE when the winter event also let you get the 1.0 items, now they seem to favor money over customer happiness.
