    The vast majority of seasonal events are simply real world festivities with a few tweaks to make them fit into FFXIV. Starlight is Christmas. All Saint's Wake is Halloween. Valentione's is Valentine's Day.

    All of them lean on the overly commercialised modern day elements rather than the traditional elements as well. In my opinion, it's just bland. I already celebrate them in the real world. It'd be a lot more interesting to me to explore something genuinely unique.

    Most of those traditional aspects of whatever day are only acknowledged by pagans which isn't a huge demograhpic, so like everyone else you get the commercialized and commodified renditions.
