    Yes, all three were "one time events", however the Goobbue (like the Lightning Strikes event) was literally just a one time event, which could have just as easily occurred in the early days of A Realm Reborn instead. "Hey you guys, here's a fun quest with a reward that won't be available once the event's over!" pretty much sums up both the Goobbue and Lightning Strikes events. There will obviously be more one-time events moving forward, the rewards for these will also fall into the same category as the Goobbue mount and Lightning items.

    However, it's highly unlikely at this point that 2.0-onwards will ever see a catastrophic failure leading to another overhaul resulting in another 1.0-2.0-like character transfer (Tattoos) and the Legacy Campaign (Legacy Chocobo). The intent behind these was vastly different from those behind the Goobbue or Lightning items.

    The goobbue is different from a special event like Lightning's though. Yoshi-P's The Wandering Minstrel's dialogue explains his new role in reshaping the game and how he probably would have never come so far if it weren't for the continuous support of the players. The goobbue horn is a literal thank you to players for sticking with a pile of hot garbage. It would make zero sense for them to ever re-release the exact same red-carpeted one.

    The only thing complex about the old combat system was trying to accurately describe how terrible it was. It looked clunky and it played even worse.

    With this character's death, the thread of prophecy remains intact.

    Lightning strikes was far from a one time event. They made that perfectly clear when they did it 4 TIMES.
    And much like the Lurtnin event, people where given plenty of oppertunity and warnings before the cutoff.
