Valentine's event 2019 info released

[Syrehn]

Oh good. x2 new consumable food items that we'll only be able to buy for $5 per item on the Mogstation after the event is over. -__-;

SE, seriously, if you're going to put seasonal food housing items in the game then for the love of all that's housing... PUT THEM ON THE SEASONAL VENDOR TO RE-BUY.

Just buy a bunch now?
People don't actually eat these foods right? They are basically house cosmetics like eating the bowl of plastic fruit
Dont

Understandable they should be in the vendor next year but complain when it happens not a year in advance

Someone was saying they're positive the rewards are bad this year to force people to buy last year's rewards from the cash shop just so they'll get something decent.

I pointed out if the goal with the seasonal event rewards is to encourage players to buy the previous year's items from the cash shop, SE has blown it big time for next year because no one would pay real money for either the sword or the knife.

Last year's rewards were completely uninteresting to me. I have absolutely no need or use for a half-a-heart chair mount that is designed to be used alongside another person. I did the quest on only one of my characters, and didn't even bother activating the mount. I just stuffed it in my retainer's inventory and wish I could properly discard it.

imagine believing this
and someone dreading next years valentines event so much

I think the complaints about "Why aren't the stabby things even thematically appropriate?" are kinda funny.

Like, maybe wait to see what the story is before judging?

Because a Valentine's event that rewards stabby things sounds to me like it could be pretty amusing.

[Kahnom]

I’ll treat this event as no-reward quest.
The story better be good.

Just wish that tonberry nice was for Paladin and we got a matching hoodie and tonberry mask so we could look just like them and stab our enemies to death. Imagine the 100s of lalafell that would dress like that! XD ....I'm a make my own glam based off this. 8T

I'm a bit disappointed with the quest rewards, however I look forward to adding some more housing items! Hopefully the story makes up for shellack of decent rewards.

The main problem with food furnishings is once you place them they cannot be removed from that house. At best they can be stored. Another issue is you can't set permissions for others with access to the house to be unable to use the food. I have heard of incidents in which a fc member ate all of the stacks of event food and it couldn't be bought again until it reappeared in the Mog Station several months later. They basically destroyed a furnishing that couldn't be replaced for a very long time.

So what the above means is you might have to buy quite a lot if you want to make sure you don't run out. There is a lot of event food in the game. It adds up fast.

I'm at the point in which I am annoyed when SE give us food furnishings for events. They're awkward to store and unless you are the only resident in your home someone else can literally ruin the furnishing. SE need to give us an option to prevent others from eating it, or to turn the food into a normal furnishing without storage limitations and cannot be consumed.

This year's event rewards are disappointing to me and a large reason why is the food. I don't play drk and I only lvled cul to get cross-class skills so I don't care about the class-based rewards. What's left for me are the furnishings but two out of three are food...so basically the doll is the only thing I can actually look forward to getting. Yay.
