[Suggest] Building a better seasonal event.

[Dyvid]

Start a thread like this last year but July seems like a good time before the holiday season comes back around. Seasonal events are a good way to bring in elements of other FF title without break too much of the lore.

_________Theme_________
[ FATE --> Dungeon --> Trial ]

______________Rewards_______________
[ Glamour Items - Chocobo Barding - Minions ]

Using this two key formulas I will give an example for Halloween

Theme - Scary, unpredictable, fall

Story: A blind fortune teller by the name of Matoya arrives at Gridarnia.
FATE: retrieve Matoya's crystal eye from the Dark Elezen Mage Astos

Story: Matoya tells you a dark witch is plotting in the Phantom Forest on the border of Gridania and Ul'dah.
Full Party Dungeon: Phantom Forest - 2 Bosses -[Headless Chocobo Rider]--{Phantom Train]. The premise is you enter the forest that has haunted look to it. Random and unpredictable things about like quick pop outs, spiders crawling on the players screen, silence followed by loud noise. The first boss is the Headless Chocobo Rider. After defeat the player come up to an old Ul'dah mining station. The last boss is an abandon train that a witch changes to a eight legged monster. Has a random charge move but the entire screen is dark except for the trains light that is glaring in the smoke.

Story: Matoya tells you the evil witch Edea is planning on using dark magic to compress time as we know it.
Trial: The dark Witch Edea

Rewards would be doom train minion, barding of the headless rider, and outfit / weapon similar to Trail bosses theme.
