    I'd very much enjoy more seasonal events based on traditional japanese holidays. I had western holidays events for years and years on other games, so I enjoy quite a lot the "holiday cultural exchange"

    I mostly agree with you here. I definitely think that Japanese holidays should have their place (my May, July, and September ideas are based on Japanese holidays) along with western holidays, but I think the best way to go about it is to use Japanese and western holidays as bases and then add a healthy spattering of "Eorzean" theme to it.

    I did think of White Day for March, but I was trying to avoid holidays that only existed in one culture or the other.

    I agree with this, I didn't mean a reproduction of the holidays like they are in the real world. The lore snippets (and illustrations) they put on the lodestone are my favourite parts of seasonal events.
