Firefall Faire 2012?

[Neomarl]

SirOleas, you seem upset. Thanks for your input, really appreciated.
I'll have you know that I have bought the collector's edition, played the alpha, beta, and the first month of release. I have endured much more than the average gamer these days could and the game really tested your patience limits.

I don't understand why you're freaking out over this. I don't want things handed to me. I said that I heavily dislike missables of any kind. Have you ever played Final Fantasy Tactics? Or any type of game with that kind of stuff? It ain't fun to miss cool items, even if it's just "freaking bikinis". I would not have missed those if the game could at least run on my PC at more than 10 FPS during the first few weeks of release.

What I wish for SE to do is to make it so every item/story elements/gameplay content is available to every single player that plays the game. Is that too much asking for? Am I unreasonable for asking this? Entitled? Selfish? I don't think so.

So SE gives EVERYONE the chance to get something when the game is free for over 2 years, you choose not to take advantage of this and when you miss it, you go and complain when SE isn't releasing it again... yea, because it's totally not your fault for missing it..

HOW DARE SE NOT GIVE ME MY BIKINI!? I WASN'T THERE! I'M ENTITLED TO THESE THINGS BECAUSE I CHOSE NOT TO GET THESE ITEMS WHEN I WAS GIVEN THE CHANCE!!!

You snooze, you lose. Deal with it. Equal opportunity's a bitch eh?

[DeadRiser]

I think it's fair that the events are one time only. Shows who has been here longest lol. Or some events, people just skip. I want something new this year :3

You might feel that way, but to me not everyone had a chance. They could have released a properly functioning game first so I could play the game normally during the first few months. But that is another matter.

Yes I missed it, I know it and I'll eventually have to deal with it.

At this point the conversation will just revolve over me "complaining over nothing" and "being entitled" instead of properly addressing my issue with the game, which is missable items shouldn't be present in the game at all.
I just acquired a goobbue mount today, and it saddens me that it will not be available after 2.0. That will not stop me from complaining after about it because these things are not fun to permanently miss. What if I want to get a goobbue mount on an alternative character? I won't be able to!
I plan on also getting achievements and primal weapons that I hear will be removed on 2.0 too. That is wrong and these items/achievements should always be available to everyone.

I just created this thread to know if the bikinis would be returning. I didn't want this to evolve into a "I'm special because I endured the crappy first few months of the game" discussion.

They are/were available to everyone, for a limited period of time.
All this content before 2.0 is available up until 2.0; Maybe excluding seasonal event items.
If people don't show up, show up late, or whatever: Too bad.

That's why the rest of us have been sticking around. Everyone knew that this content was limited time only, it was one of the first things stated by Yoshi-P in relation to re-launching the game in 2.0 format.

FFXI has a system where you can obtain items from events past of the same type.
You will just have to hope they put that in, this year it is Yukutus(sp?) and everyone who has stayed and already obtained swimsuits is looking forward to those items, not things they already obtained.

Is that relaxed of an answer for you? Or is it just too much to accept the fact that you missed out on something.

IT'S STILL NOT FAIR TO ME AND OTHERS~! I DEMAND SE TO CONFORM TO MY NEEDS SO EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO HOLD BACK SO I CAN CATCH UP!

[SirOleas]

It's just not going to happen though.
Yoshi-P is big on keeping his word, his word is that all of this content is limited time to the players who are here now/were here from the start. To go back on his word that he gave to the people who have been here this entire time is worse than telling people who chose to be late to the party that they should have been on time.

Honestly I think people being able to get Legacy status and all things involved with the status by just showing up at the end is incredibly generous. Legacy status should have been for people who have always been here.

It's never enough for these kinds of people though. Always want more for nothing.

In case it has been mentioned yet, this year's summer event items will be yukata and geta slippers, as confirmed on the JP side some months ago.

As for the bikinis, if they do make them available again this year in the same style as the egg hats were this easter, I imagine that people would only be able to get the silver one and the coloured ones, but not the gold one, just like how this year's easter event brought back all the egg hats except the chocobo hat.

In any case, I'm for not recycling items. It's unfortunate some people missed items because of computer woes, but the majority of people who want them only want them because, "it's so unfair you guys!" Giving out event items again just serves to cheapen the entire thing.

Meh..the dev rep said this:

こんにちは。
Hello,

季節イベントで配布した水着については、その時そのイベントに参加した証とな る特別なアイテムなので、レシピにする予定はありません。ただ、その他のデザインの新しい水着や、別スレッドでもご要望いただいている「セクシーな装備」 は、世界観を壊さない程度にレシピとともに実装する方向で現在開発作業を進めています。
For the swim suit we gave out in the seasonal event; that is something showing that you participated in that event so we are not planning to release any recipes for it. However designs for other new swim wear or like other threads request for more sexy looking gear, these we are currently working to release recipe for them. The looks are sexy enough but not going to break the world settings.

実装時期が分かり次第、あらためてお知らせします。
Once the release date is confirmed will update you all.

It only says recipes. It does not say anything that "We will not release them for next years summer event" and it also says NEW swimsuits.

There is obviously a demand for it.../shrugs

I can see if they were like this about collector items and when they warn you a one time chance thing. But omg lol this is just some event thing. Is there anything wrong with more people running around in swimsuits anyway? :P

summer event in 1.23 i think since it should be comming around end of july
