Seasonal Event Love

[Lamhirh]

There probably will be some tanabata event, knowing it was important in XI, and the game is japaneese... what i woud like to see as seasonal events?

well i would love class based events, like harvest event for botanist in summer, warm hats crafting event for weavers in winter and so on. Winter event could be multiclass, like weavers craft hats, botanists log for fire wood, alhemist make pills for cold, and such.

There are some crazy awesome ideas here.
I think it's actually fun to design them and to think of funny crazy things to do, so I got a little disapointed with valentine's day's event. The fact that the game is just starting doesn't help. But let's not talk about that.

I'd love to see a snowfight at xmas, and the costume dressup at halloween.

It would be nice if we we could buy/adquire/craft cupid arrows on valentine's days that actually charmed the monsters ;P making little hearts dance around the monsters. Just for fun lol

Or craft a love potion and pour it on chocolates to make a big heart appear above someone's head if he eats it lol

For halloween it would be nice to have a costume contest or a parade for everyone.

Maybe like a pool party in the summer, or a ferry ride where everyone traveled to a paradisic island. Lots of swimsuits and activities to do. ;P

This thread is for the discussion of seasonal/holiday events in FFXIV and other MMOs. This thread is not a discussion about how well the dev team is using their time in relation to the events or other content.

It almost feels like you really do have to start threads this way now doesn't it? So sad.

I was not playing at the time of the christmas event unfortunately, so I hope I'm not hoping for something they already did. I know it was a simple thing, but I loved the Jeuno Xmas music. I miss it. I hope they did/will continue to do holiday versions of their own music at least in the major cities during these events.

If they do swimsuits again, I hope the females can get Racer back competition styled one pieces. :/ I'm not a fan of bikini's no matter how good a womans "Beach Body" is.

You would have liked this year's event it was simple but there was holiday music in towns and snowflakes XD

What I didn't like about the bells was that I rarely got what I wanted, I was never a fan of chance drops, whatever the percentage is it's ALWAYS against me I swear! :P I'd rather they make us work fairly to get these items, cooperatively is more fun too imo.

FFXI's events were always fun, but I started playing in 2005 so I don't know what the previous years were like, I do think they will build them up and every year they will add something more. EQ2's holiday events are fun too, a haunted house for Halloween would be so great.

I like everyone's ideas you guys are creative ^_^

beer fest held in eorzeas "harvest" season. the lore is in each city the local alchemist brew new drinks with stuff localy grown and have contests about each brew. what we players get to do is vote on the beer and it becomes an item in game. What we vote on is effects, duration, and boosts. each brew will have differences. for activities is a faireground with sideshow mini games which we earn tokens for items and mats for gear.

I also vote for a hauted house and we play japanese spirit games and as groups go on survival walks in a fatel frame styles woods and house with japanese styled outfits based on the various spirits in japanese lore.

I remember when they did that one event in XI where they sent you off with a friend to scary dungeons as a level 1 level cap and find a ??? in the environment.

I liked the one in FFXI where you had to herd the buffalo's and they could headbut you across the map, that was pretty funny.

Oh and the one where you got the wooden katana and would run super fast.

I like them, i love when you get unique gear/casual clothing.

Mini games would be fun!
I would much appreciate life events, there should be festivals where people dress up, gather, socialize and maybe take part in some events held by GMs even if its something as simple as making a raze around Uldah
Developer could sometimes hold a short speech or something….
Concerts would be fun!
I would love to have a Opera house that would play all sorts of tracks from all the FF titles.

I love your Opera House idea! That would be pretty awesome.
