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.
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).
