Lightning Strikes a Third time ?

[Vespar]

Where are you people getting this info from? SE never said LIGHTNING, they said a "certain" FF character, in an event similar to how lightning's event was done.. They did NOT say directly Lightning, unless you have some other official source proving me wrong? They did however specify a "COSTUME" this time. So that right there makes me think its not lightning since that event had costumes, weapons, and hairstyles.

Source: (Live Letter Q&A):
Q20: Are there any plans to implement additional costumes and hairstyles of previous FINAL FANTASY series characters similar to Lightning and Snow?

A20: While I can't say too much, let’s just say you will be able to obtain a costume for a certain famous FF character by completing certain content in a certain patch!

It's not that it's hard, it's that it's a reward from an event, and making event rewards available outside of the event for those who never participated in said event sort of invalidates the event itself. Not that it was hard to get the hairstyle, you just needed to complete the first quest of the event. That said, new players join ever week so beyond relaunching the event these players will never get the hairstyle, or even the rest of the event rewards for that matter. Besides, it's just one hairstyle per gender so it's not like you lose out on an entire library of hair... like we presently do now. Why is it so hard to have all the hair be uni-race/uni-sex? I don't get it.

Well, at least there will be still one thing that is still exclusive that I have which will never be brought back (because to do so completely invalidates it's reason for existing) - ala, the Legacy Campaign. Then there's the preorder bonuses (Cait Sith Doll and Moogle Hat), the Dalamud and Bahamut minions that came with the Bluray soundtracks, the Hermes Shoes (unless SE decides to try and encourage same way of arresting the continuing decline of players of FFXI by bringing back that campaign), and all that old 1.0 dated gear that will never be attainable.

I hate things like that, honestly.

I've got the pre-order/CE bonuses and I still say they should open those up to everyone. :-)

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.

Link? Cause everyone else is saying the opposite.

Yeah after what he said on Hunts some citations are gonna be needed.

If what the OP said is true is true. Oh well At least I cna get the Shanotto and Golem minions and that the rage directed at the repeated events will distract from the rage directed at hunts. If not, oh well there will be other stuff to do with out without Lightning.

[Vespar]

No one really reads. they just skimmed and saw lightning and snow.. READ the Question #20. Nowhere in there does it directly state LIGHTNING is the event that we'll be getting

On topic :


and again... and again

Too late big guy. People may hate her or say they do.. But unlike yourself I don't think they mean it. I've seen people say they hate her while wearing her hair.. Which doesn't make any sense to me.

This one I can clarify! I only know Lightning through a few clips, and everything I've seen of her, she's a stupid angry bitch who has the personality of a spiked rock.

However, there is a dreadful lack of spiked, punky hairstyles in this game, and lightning's fills this role nicely. I don't have to like the character to love the hair.

Okay do we have any dates for these events (Particularity the DQX and XI ones, the other ones are seasonal enough to infer dates from them)?

Also if your sig supposed to be a parody of some sort of "crazy guy thinking voices in his head are god" thing?

actually play the games before you judge Lightning that hard...

From the five minutes I played of FF13's combat at a friend's house, I'll pass on spending the money to do so.

She's a fictional character, I don't think I'm going to hurt her feelings. :B
