How will Square Enix explain... THIS?

Have you been living under a rock for the last 6 months?

Pe...perhaps... I should tell the moggles to put a moggle mail closer to my temple nya.... I swear didn't receive the invitation?

With 80h of playtime, I can do the story quest, if I dont read the text and watch CS (60h of running)

I'm sorry but I don't know anything about that weird fan festival...

Could someone explain a little or basically confirm if this was an event? I'd appreciate an answer of the community managers since I'm not the only one that was confused by this strange and not announced weird event that happened in Zodiark, Western Thanalan - Horizon's aetherite, people was puzzled.

I have to say it has more logic to think it was some kind of event than a super hacking, indeed, but still, many people confused and without a clear answer of the team about it there.

Seriously?
