Valentiones and Little Ladies Day to be followed in succession

[Shougun]

I mean, I usually try to be fairly positive, or at least positively fair, about the game but this is just pathetic.
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.

Since we're discussing potential event rewards- I had a little mini(ish, sort of?) game thought, they might consider the chocobo gold and silver feathers or perhaps a bit more logical but special moogle tomes - to some that might have some value. Certainly a bit less theme'd to the content than a heart shape moogle but the way the event works could be still.

Like I imagine a 'good' version of the WoW plague that killed everyone on the streets (hilarious, I was so confused when it happened). With perhaps a quest item being used as a cheap means for memory management, every time you earn valentine you gain one of this item which can be then used via emote or interacting with the item and a target to send a valentine (this means two items, one for valentines spendable, one for sent). The quest will reward players with some of this charge, as a one time thing, but you will get say 2 charges per commendation in content as well (so a fixed amount from the quest, but an ever growing quantity from commendations that can get spread around). You can use the valentine on players like a phoenix down (out of combat) to raise them, on teleporting players to null their gil cost, sprint players gain a huge boost to sprint time, mounts travel faster, etc, or just because you want to- whatever, some cute side effects to make players have more fun with it (and of course it needs a heart animation to the player like dote lol). Those hit with a dote will gain a stacking buff, that buff will also represent a reduced reward (for a short duration). Meaning targeting individuals that haven't been doted upon will reward you the most. You always get a spendable charge (when doted). So in general the stock amount of doting should increase lol.

You can take all that 'spent' valentines to the moogle tomestone agent to purcahse neat things that normally those moogles sell. Event item could be in there too at a bit more reasonable price.

Even before Covid-19 entered the picture I thought that some of the seasonal events seemed to be rather lacking in rewards and phoned in. From what I've seen elsewhere, other MMO's don't seem to be struggling quite as much as FFXIV is when it comes to getting meaty seasonal events out there alongside regular content patches.

As for what I'd like to see in terms of rewards? More feminine outfits and hairstyles for female characters and more masculine outfits and hairstyles for male characters, please. I'm weary of the 'unisex' route since I'm not interested in androgynous or feminine fashion.

correct me if I'm wrong but WoW also lets you earn all the past seasonal items as well right? I follow big picture stuff for other MMOs but not really seasonals for each game lol.

So in order, does WoW add new content to each seasonal, and does WoW still offer everything that it offered in the previous season?

If so.. kind of a double oof towards FF.

We can mention COVID or perhaps they've insane crunch for their huge new big cool announcements ... and maybe that's true (sounds plausible), but if the next expansion is just normal and they keep this sort of thing up.. then that's not so great lol.
