Exclusive Lunar event only for Chinese server

[Felis]

Happy New Lunar year!!! \(^o^ )/

now where's my panda? :>

You got a sheep

Oh wow.. Hope this doesnt put limitations on what they do for us just because the Chinese cant have it..

Don't worry, global version (playing on NA, EU an JP servers with only 1 client and 1 account) is separated from the chinese version (need the chinese client, an Shanda account and have to live in china).
We get the uncut version, the chinese get a china conform version.

The New Year event we had earlier is sort of related, but wrong celebration date lol. Again, not the end - but it would have been nice to have the game mimic the real world event I like, just as other events in FFXIV.

Don't celebrate japan the new year on the 31th december like the rest of the world?
The only connection I see between japanese and chinese new year are the zodiacs.

Here, no Lunar event on the japanese holiday calendar
