Moonfire Faire

[Serilda]

There's no dyeable swimsuit mentioned. Which is weird in itself; I'm genuinely astounded no dyeable Cascadier-style swimsuit exists in the game yet, especially on release for the water-themed expansion (Shisui sets notwithstanding). Friends who started after the old swimsuit events often remark on how mean the game's swimsuit options seem to be.

While I agree with the part where SE (and some players) should accept criticism, but to be fair, there's quite a bit of work going into creating the new skills and re-balancing of class/pvp in SB too. Whether those effort pay off is another topic though. At the end of the day, the seasonal events usually alternate between "good" and "bad" rewards. If you find this one "bad", just hope the next one is better I guess?

On a side note, was there ever any seasonal event that received so much backslash before it even launch? (Well there's the youkai event but that's a cross-over event instead.)

I just question why we need so many "events" if its so taxing to create good unique items for them? Why not make it four events per year (each for a season) with a nice small quest line with a bit of story but otherwise lots of stuff to farm for. You know Rift is a F2P game thus you have lots of stuff in their cash shop but still their summer event is truly a event unlike most of our events in FF14. (It is my first one in Rift so not sure how the others are going to be) You can still earn quite a lot of prices through ingame methods and you have them back next year thus new people can try this too.

In the end SE focused on story again when they do their events and often forget the gameplay after that. All the work that they have put into the cutscenes could have been put into ingame items. And if they on top of that put the old rewards back to the NPCs so that new people could get them ingame too, you would have way "bigger" events with more stuff to do. My first summer event in FF14 was the one with the many many swimsuites..If you wanted them all you had to deliver quite the items but it was fun. The same with stuff like the crime scene in the gold saucer event which was less prices but the journey to it. Compare the last gold saucer event to that.

Or just the halloween one with the spooky mansion. That was so funny.

(Also they create more and more housing items for these events...while most people dont even own houses..>_>)

I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment here, but does this imply we are also getting a dyeable version of the Summer Morning swimset?

I would assume you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Think it's just going to be Zoni, Rolanberry Shaved Ice and/or the fireworks/cracker thingies.

If the really wanted to be lazy about making costumes for the event, they'd have better luck making past costumes obtainable again. But of course SE's priority is the mogstation, not the game itself.

They sort of did...this is below the Event Items on the page dedicated to the faire:

* Certain items available during previous iterations of the event can be purchased via Moonfire Faire vendors.

Based on where it is located under the current event items, it quite possibly could just be for the non-gear items being available.

if its colourable then thats good in a way , will save them from receiving requests for a colourable ver of it

It won't save them from me. This is one version (and IMO the ugliest one) of the Shisui gear. It does not excuse them from making dungeon gear dyeable.

and remember when yoshida said he want to give the team a break after SB launch?

You're kidding yourself if you think this wasn't all completed before SB launch.

[Jatoi]

I saw the costumes and they are horrendously ugly, just like when they first came out. I always hated the Shisui set.

It's probably just the fireworks.

I will keep only the tiniest shred of hope

Dyeable Shisui gear. Really, SE? That's the best you got? They probably don't go to the beach much. >.>
