Lightning on the horizon (Lightning FFXIII event)

[VahnValbosce]

My guess is Dec 9th or shortly after is release of 2.1

I guess we gotta wait until 2060 when they release FFL (Final Fantasy 50) before we get any gear for our current level cap.

Alright, I'll bite.
If my guess is correct and they stick to the pattern and we get more FF promotions as games are released then yes, it might take until FFL before we get a FF crosspromotion that awards vanity gear that requires level 50.
Please look forward to it.
And hey, unless they find a way to crosspromote FFXIV with itself [Promoception?] we've got level 14 out of the way already! ;)

Well, now. I didn't exactly think that this was going to come out this soon. I have to say, as a bit of a Lore Junkie, I'm pretty excited about this.

I didn't think that it'd be a chronicle of events as opposed to being some random Fate people stumble upon.

Must say that the items look pretty cool. I certainly didn't expect them to be above level 1. But Hey, take what we can get. I just hope I'll be able to put these in the Armoire. Lol. I have room on my retainers, but I'm not looking forward to losing a bunch of slots for all of these goodies.

Hello,

The item team has confirmed that the rewards listed on the Lightning Strikes information page are the total set of items available from this activity and that there are no plans to upgrade the item levels or stats. When the event goes live, these reward items cannot be stored via the armoire in the Inns, or a separate storage option. Also the team hasn't confirmed if any of these rewarded items will have a separate storage option in the future.

As long as it can be vanity used, then it's fine. If not in not sure what purpose the event items would serve.

Not trying to sound like an a-hole here, but is it really that hard to set up items to where they can be stored in the armoire before they're released?

Always wondered this as well. I can understand they want players to be in that seasonal event mood, which is fine but the armoire update doesn't come soon after the seasonal event's end time, it's usually next patch which could be month's away. If 2.2 we're looking at another 3.5month+ to go.

Why????? No, seriously. Why the heck?

And why can't we dye them? x.x

Arent you one of the many people who say: "You can just do x for fun"?

Sure, but if its a level 13 item going against HM primals, that's just silly lol
