If pressed for development time, all they had to do for Valentione's was remove the gender lock from the outfits from last year and reoffer them even if it meant they had to be considered "new items."
And for Little Ladies Day? Take the new hair style that they've stupidly locked in a random chest at the end of Bozja and have that as the Little Ladies Day event reward.
It's not rocket science.
I mean, there is a pandemic going on, which is obviously going to affect things and I feel like that's at least why some events have been mashed together. I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt on that, although I obviously can't say whether or not they would have "done better" without the pandemic to throw a wrench in things.

I also really like the idea of removing gender lock from last year's outfits and reoffering them but I can see people complaining about that too lol. The hair thing is a super neat idea tho and imo makes more sense than getting it in Bozja.

I've only been playing for a few years now, but when I do see the old rewards for events I often find myself thinking "A mount that's a bear dressed like Santa??? Why haven't I gotten anything like that in events I've done?" It's also a little sad to see those old rewards getting shoved onto the Mogstation instead of... idk, giving people a chance to win them back every few years or something. (I bought a cherry tree for 16mil gil just because I didn't wanna spend the $3.50 on the Mogstation on principle). Corporate SE has definitely been leaving their fingerprints all over stuff like this...

If they were to do more inspired rewards, what would people like to see? Personally for me, non-gendered clothing and mounts would be nice. Another fun thing might be aesthetic items like umbrellas!
