And that's different from any other seasonal event how?
Fairly lame imho. The outfit is nice, but the event was uninspired. Just a single overcrowded Fate you repeat once. Nothing to keep you around after like the fishing or tower from last year. Really disappointed I didn’t get to try the tower again.
Events for some time has been very uninspiring to be honest. It's just "Talk to these handfull of people do a FATE. Congratulations!".
I miss the events where you actually got to do something new. It might've not been mind blowing or inovative. But at least it was more fun.
Like that haunted house during that one Halloween event.
Events used to be something I looked forward to. Now it's just a "collect the limited items before they vanish".
I understand that it might be difficult making brand new event questlines and special stuff year after year so I don't blame them for putting in simple FATE events. But I wish for a new fun event that lets me do something else.
Honestly, as a max level player the fate was pretty basic, but considering it's a low level gate for the event, I think it's a pretty decent training exercise for new players who need practice with dodging telegraphs while maintaining positioning and uptime.
Though I do wish there were persistent minigames that we could partake in around the faire.
Watermelon smashing contest with QTEs.
Directing a fireworks display that plays like simon says.
A swiming race around the beach where you have to hit checkpoints in order while swiming to complete.
The dancing minigame they took out of the gold saucer.
(And more minor rewards to spend those tickets on to go with the increased events.)

"SE once again outdone themselves". They gave us yet another summer outfit, and a FATE that you could do with one hand whilst watching YouTube. It wasn't that good...
I just smiled when I saw the Aliapohs and T'kebbe hanging out, particularly because I just finished Zhloe's delivery quests, so it felt that after weeks of work, she finally had the time to hang out with Kebbe and Khloe. I just like seeing NPCs hang around during events or other quests. It makes the world feel much more alive. Now trying to find more NPCs hanging around Costa del Sol. Was able to find Emmanellain and Honorit as well!

2nd time a fate like this has popped up for seasonal events. Back in 2013 or 2014 you threw snowballs at an X-mas tree mob so it could slay Grinch imps trying to ruin it.
I can appreciate what they were trying to do. Seasonal Event stuff has been too recycled too often for the past few years. While on the underwhelming side, I do like that they did something different instead of recycling the tower for the 3rd year in a row.
Devs - We'll make Dancer a DPS job for the expac.... but for players that wanted it to be a healer, we'll let you dance to heal/buff for this event only.
