Moonfire Faire

[Theodric]

To be fair, whilst I'm not impressed with the rewards on offer this time around whether or not a reward is 'good' is subjective to any given individual. The rewards for the anniversary event and/or the Halloween event may be much more subjectively appealing and meaty. We'll just have to wait and see.

It clears up my inventory for a set I rather fancy.

This doesn't clear up inventory space. The Moonfire Faire outfit is just the Striking set, which is different from the other Shisui sets. This is literally just adding yet another item to inventory.

At the very least, they couldn't even be bothered to give us every version of the set? The healer/caster tops have sleeves, the tank set has armor bits on it, the caster bottom doesn't have a skirt, etc. How much work would it really be to give us dyeable versions of all those sets? The differences seem trivial from a work standpoint, you clearly aren't making new models, but you couldn't even grant us that, SE?\

But, how else would they have items for <insert event name> later on?

Not a fan of chaps. I don't need to be showing that much crotch.

This. We just got a huge expansion with two extra updates a few weeks afterwards, and we have two events coming (Moonfire and the Rising). Devs needing to save time because they're already giving us a lot of stuff isn't laziness. Given them a break.

Another excuse. Let's recall the the events from Heavensward, an expansion so taxing on the Devs that they had to take a 2 month break.

Whose bright idea was it to give the male outfit crotch-less chaps?

So chaps? (since chaps are always crotch-less)

[alimdia]

If they didn't add the fuga set to the cash shop we would've had an unique set for this year's Moonfire Faire.

Touche sir. Did not know that. Made the correction.

Another excuse. Let's recall the the events from Heavensward, an expansion so taxing on the Devs that they had to take a 2 month break.

Not gonna quote the entire list, but here's a few corrections.

Your list of the rewards from the 2015 Moonfire Faire is actually from the 2014 one. The 2015 one had two variations of southern seas tops and bottoms.
The 2015 Rising Event had Ysayle and Yugiri minions, not Moenbryda.
The Iroha event was a collaboration event with FFXI, and not a seasonal event.
The 2016 Rising Event had Krile and Dress-up Y'shtola minions.
The 2017 Little Ladies Day also had the Songbird dance emote.

Notice how rewards just get less and less.. Minus Little Ladies day

Because we haven't gotten the remaining events for this year yet. If you've been playing XIV for a while, you'll notice that they always pick some events to develop more rewards for, while other events get less rewards. This changes every year.

Example: Little Ladies Day
2017: Full set for each gender, an emote, and two furnishing pieces.
2016: A chest and shoes for each gender, and one furnishing,
2015: A necklace and two furnishings.
2014: A minion, and earrings.

In comparison to: Valentione's Day
2017: Emote, a minion, a furnishing and an orchestrion roll.
2016: Two hats, two earrings, three furnishings.
2015: A barding and two furnishings.
2014: A hat, gloves and boots for both genders, chest and pants that were gender specific. Three necklaces.

As you can see, the 2014 Valentione's Day event had more rewards than the 2014 Little Ladies Day, while the 2017 Little Ladies Day event had more rewards than the 2017 Valentione's Day event.
