Wild Idea! Bring back old events!

[OceanWilds]

So, we get that things are being pushed back because of the world pandemic going on. It sucks but you have to be safe and that is fine!

However, who is tired of grinding for Moogle Tomestones?! So, I propose that SE bring back old events (like the Yokai watch event and such) to give people a chance to get those super unique items that may have been missed for any number of reasons.

Just a silly idea, but I think it could be fun and it would give us something exciting to do. They wouldn't have to run long of course. It would make things entertaining for sure. What do you think?

That would be a good idea. They should bring back the FFXV event back as well. That was fun.

Wasn't it confirmed at some point that the Yokai Watch event is coming back, with new weapons for the classes added later? Could've sworn I read that somewhere.

Crossover events with other properties (Yokai, Dragon Quest, Garo, etc) naturally require the permission of the property's owners first, so that's at least partially out of the XIV team's hands. Not sure how that would apply to other Final Fantasy properties, but we can probably rule out the XIII event, since the rewards are on the Mog Station.

The special events featuring other companies' properties is probably harder to deal with, that's why we lost the Garou gear acquisition.

Supposedly in the recent Live Letter recaps, they have confirmed that the Yokai Watch event is coming back sometime after 5.3 and have also said they're considering running the FF11 event again as well though no word on when that may happen.

Almost every other crossover event has returned at least once, so I would expect XV to return since it hasn't yet.

Did 11 get run more than once?

Did 11 get run more than once?

As of yet, no.

[MsQi]

Did 11 get run more than once?

Yes. From what I can find there were 2 FF11 events.

It's probably safe to say that any event or crossover gear that is now in the Mog Station probably won't be back now that people are paying real money for them.
