Lightning Event 2015?

[Cherie]

LOL this title "Lightning Event 2015?" Didn't it already happen again this year?

I mean, SE could do it a fourth time...but if so, it begs the question, say they do it this month, in August: In November someone else will make this thread again: "Lightning Event 2015?" and I'll be asking them, where they were 3 months ago.... lol

They really need to do something about Lighting Return items because there will always be people who missed out on it due to not playing the game when the even happened, but mostly because there'll always be new players joining and they would want the item. Her returning now won't help when new players are constantly joining

While I'd rather not have her return, it's not like it's going to affect me if her event springs up again. It's not like we're forced to do her event and at the very least people who missed out on it will get it.

If people just want the outfit and hairstyle, I can understand that. In the gold saucer there are tokens you can buy that give you the ponytail hairstyle.

If they wanted to, they could make a "Lightning gift set" with her hairstyle in a token form (to turn in to hairstylist), and her full outfit and just hand it out or something.

The event was pretty boring to be honest. If people want the items, I say just give it to them so they don't have to farm the fates. The fates are mostly the same low level fates that are already in the game, but Lightning comes as NPC to help. There is a final fate where you fight a boss or something in mordhona, maybe they could put that fight into a little duty finder encounter and when you do it you just get all the items.

Farming fates is booooring. Just give people the items from the event and call it a day I say. :P

There are lots of events people missed out on if they just started.... I'm not sure why people focus in on this one so much. I'd just say give people the items that want. Unlock all the event items and hand them out for free or cash shop. It's whatever. It's not like there is any prestige or anything for having them. It's just a game lol and that event is long past.

On a side note though, it would be cool if there was some item that you could wear or something that you had to do something difficult to get. But there is not...boo It's fun to have something to work for. Maybe the new relic quest can fill that void.

I just want to know what they would name the event after all of the times it happened.

Lightning Strikes: All the Damn Time.

The best and most reasonable chance for this happening would be in conjunction with the release of Lightning Returns on Steam... whenever that happens. It's supposed to be this year isn't it?

I'm only interested if they come up with a FFXIII themed great sword for dark knight.

Don't expect it to look cool. The WAR weapon still has me raging over the fact that it isn't actually the size it is in 13's game.

What is this? An axe for ants?

I would like to be able to get the items and hairstyle.. I don't care if it through the Casp Shop even though I'd like to participate in the event.

If it's gonna come back, I'd expect it to actually be this month. Last year they brought it back in August for the anniversary of A Realm Reborn.

Having it come back for a while would be good. The FATEs are cool and have Lightning fighting XIII monsters to the battle theme of XIII. I find XIII to be the weakest link in the series aside from II, but I still find that to be a really enjoyable callback. Hell, maybe add weapons for DRK, MCH, and AST to get long time players interested in helping out with the FATEs. In any case, it would shake up how we level up, even a little bit. Variety is nice.

Bringing the event around every so often doesn't remove the items' status as "limited edition," either. More people may have access to the items, but honestly, what's wrong with that?

[Blood-Aki]

No, Because you know what will happen? once this generation of players get the hairstyle/items a few months/years later, the newer players will also ask for it to come back, then after that, the next wave will ask, and so on and so on.

It's just not going to end, Had to deal with lightning in 3 different games, and 3 times IN ARR. I think i have had my fill of that girl for a lifetime. even cloud did not get this much attention. I think...

PS: her hair looks silly anyway (imo)
