This is exactly what I'm thinking. I don't understand all the uproar over exclusive items not being exclusive because this is most probably all there is to it. Next year they'll have completely different special events and if they do anything similar for the 2nd year anniversary it'll probably be a recap of those events not Lightning, etc. They won't have any reason to bring Lightning back at that point, and if they just keep doing the same events over and over it'll just get stale. They already have seasonal events for that.

And tbh Lightning is great and all, but if Yoshi, etc. pay attention to the forums they'd know that plenty of us want to see other FF characters brought to life in Eorzea, too. I would think they'd act on that rather than keep bringing the same content back over and over again. :3
