Holiday Items in A Realm Reborn

[Mudd]

I'm pretty sure the inconsistency was probably due to the state of the project as a whole, and we'll probably see more stable holiday events as things go on in ARR.

[Solace]

I'm terrible. I never really cared.
Well I kind of sometimes did, but I'd end up with just like the Santa hat or something.
Well, at least I tried. XD

[Gugnir]

Well maybe we can get new bathing suits, so people can change out of the ones they've been wearing as underwear for almost a year and half now.

[Elexia]

Do we get in the ho]liday spirit and have the first round of holidays offer all the items from the past?

I don't see why not, they're in the .dats conver....

Anyway.

I just want the Samurai job in time for Xmas... (possibly looking like this)...



BTW Yoshi + all Devs... that long hair style is the EXACT kind of lengthy hair option that I've been requesting for ages... think we can get it this time?

I don't see samurai being added by Xmas or any time sadly and i really want it sam was my main in FFXI.

But for the hair you may be in luck if you don't see that at release it would be added later in a update. Yoshi-p said he be added a barber shop and he would keep adding new hair style in updates. So make sure you keep requesting and you may have that one day i would also love hair that long

As someone who missed one or two things, I would love it if we could somehow get old seasonal items that were offered in ver 1, but ultimately it's not necessary. While (almost) everyone is a collector, I could certainly understand the counter argument that having them as one time items is what makes them so special/collectible in the first place.

My only concern for seasonal items in ARR is the snake kabuto helmet, since we didn't have the game running at new years this year. If we don't get them at launch (or anytime this year), the next time we'll get the snake helmet is in 12 years...

While I was happy to obtain several holiday items, I liked those summer events most of all because -in later instances- everyone could participate (and had to work together). Eorzea looked so full and funny!

Especially with the dancing! ^^

Did they not say we all get that item around release somehow? or maybe i read what yoshi-p said wrong.

You're correct Zen; they did tell us we'd be getting it^^

Edit - On the subject of hair:

To get obscenely long hair like that would be really difficult to have it so long and looking 'lifelike' ><.
It would clip like hell with pretty much everything (Here's to you, hoods, shields and 2h weapons that rest on your back!)
Even in the latest tour video when they showed the Female Ro with the long hair, it looked a bit like a wobbly board. Granted they're probably still tweaking physics and whatnot but with longer hair it's difficult because it needs to have a fluid motion all the way down otherwise it just looks odd><

The longer it is, the harder it is to achieve this effect. Also; more continued 'micro-motions' as I'll call them can create a lot of lag, especially if there are many people with this hairstyle. In 1-player games it's not noticeable because there are only so many people that would have that style... but in an MMO it wouldn't work well;;.

I've done a bunch of 3D modelling in the past and always found that the longer the hair, the harder it was to work with it and not have it look like some 'tubular glob stuck to your head' ; ;. Because of this, I'm not expecting to see anything longer than just below shoulder length ; ;
