Lightning Strikes a Third time ?

[Elim]

People bothered by lightning should stop farming Ramuh.


( i'm already far away )

That was a... lightning fast joke.

Lightning strikes a fifteenth time confirmed!

Instead of Lightning coming back, how about some problem with Jenova or something that makes Cloud or Tifa land in Eorzea!

I want Tifa clothes! :P Lightning was fine and dandy, but we could use some FF7 gear nao!

I'd rather have Squall and Ultimecia from VIII take their fight across time and space...and somehow end up in Eorzea. But that's just me. Wouldn't have any complaints with Cloud/Tifa however. As to the OP, if they do decide to bring the LR event back for a 3rd round I couldn't care less. Not a fan of XIII at all but the outfits/weapons look nice.

Yoshi already said this event wont be repeated a third time, and he said that we'll get the equipment of a famous ff character which does not mean lightning. So no, this event won't happen again.

I demand people link to the post where Devs were considering a 3rd Lightning Event, cause less than 3 months ago, we got this post:

Well, the bright side is that I have alts that can get the cactuar earrings. The downside is the lack of exclusivity.

Thank you very much for this. This thread started with a rumor, went on for pages with no one linking anything, then people started saying they wanted to see the links to dev posts to disprove their so-far unsubstantiated rumor. I was happy to provide the link I knew existed so that we could get out of the domain of rumor and hearsay.

This is more or less for the people who haven't yet had the chance to do the event, and the PS4 players (who fall into the former category as well).

Personally, I am not really a fan of them doing these events again just to appease newer players that may have started playing due to the PS4 launch. This was something that was suppose to be a one time event in order to promote specific SE games. The only reason the Lightning Returns event was held twice in the past was for the JP and NA launches of the Lightning Returns game. (which was already more than generous enough for them to have done)

But now they're doing it a third time, for no better reason that to appease the players that cried because they didn't get a chance to do it the first two times? Give me a break.

So much for limited time events and the gear associated with them. Makes the whole thing seem cheap to me. Why I bet in a year's time we'll get to have Lightning Strikes a fourth time for all the "new" players that again didn't get to participate in the 3rd time the event's been live, and then a year later after that.

Why don't we just set up a vendor and sell all the gear for 1 gil all year 'round, because this Limited time event isn't actually so limited. That way nobody will whine and cry that it wasn't fair that they didn't get to do or finish the event.

Listen, SE, if you guys are going to do special events in game and then make them not so special by making them reoccurring things.. just stop. Don't even bother. Just stick to you Holiday event's because at least we know those are always reoccurring.

Hate to be "that guy" but is this 100% confirmed?

Yes, it was at the end of the Live Letter this morning. They will not only be redoing the Lightning Returns Event, but also the FFXI and Dragon Quest Collaboration Events.

Nothing is sacred.

It's SE though. You know the very people who said preorder drakenguard 3 for this exclusive content! Only to throw it all in the Psn store later. Same deal with FF13-3, "come get it now guys while supplies last!!" -throws all dlc on Psn later-

Only thing I've seen stay exclusive are earrings and a couple if others lol the moon one and the mog ones, as well as that contest bandana mask and 2 mounts,gloves,goggles,dala horn.. Probably a little bit more.. Everything else has been fodder for rerererelease.

So.. I'm gonna ask what stops them from releasing that stuff again?

I sure do miss my bomb earring. Shouldn't have started over when I returned. /regret.
