Lightning/Snow Event

Nah, it should not come back. There was exclusive 1.0 content and items. There should be some exclusive 2.0 content and items.

Does 1.x really have anything exclusive other then the tattoos that 2.x and 3.x don't have a version of?

white raven fight with nael, the meteor horn, a bunch of other items, the goubbue mount, the legacy chocobo, hamlet defense, gathering mini games. Yes, there was a lot of 1.0 content cut from 2.0


If you want a similar event, then ask for a new event with similar items just like the 1.0/2.0 comparison.

Which.... is pretty much what some people are arguing for: putting the items in the Gold Saucer, possibly along with some FFXIII-flavoured Gate accompanying it (though I'd say preferrably not), would be just that. A new way of getting those items, similar to how some 1.x items can be gotten through retainer ventures.

There's also one 1.x dagger that didn't get converted into a sword the way all other gladiator/paladin daggers were when they introduced rogue/ninja, so 1.x players lucky enough to have one of those are the only ones who can run around with a dagger-wielding paladin. (Unless SE 'fixed' that one -- I hope not, though.)

Though... I wouldn't really consider an event promoting another game to be comparable to consistant in-game activities (like the hamlet defence, etc) ^^; But that's just my personal opinion.

As for the chocobo/goobbue, the question you responded to asked "that don't have a 2.x version" -- 2.x does have versions of the chocobo and goobbue. It's not the same, but it's similar enough IMO.

Then ask for similar events and items, not the exact same ones.

And that changes how? The game doesn't "exist" (I'd say even then, 2.0 is a version upgrade of 1.0, just a very big one) but the items still do. So comparisons are just as valid. Same goes for 2.0 items like the Dalamud minion which is now locked out to people who buy Before Meteor right now. I wanted that item, but tough luck for me: I missed out. I'm not going to whine and make the billionth forum post begging SE.

You are arbitrary putting lines down when they are the same thing: Exclusive items that you got if you were playing at the time and did the requirement. If you didn't you missed out.

Tough luck, please stop acting like children who didn't get their candy.

I can't see how your name-calling applies to me. You accused someone of disagreeing with you only because they didn't have the items and were jealous. I replied to show that I disagree with you despite having the items in question. I don't even use most of them, because I don't like the way they look. That doesn't mean I can't sympathize with those who never had a chance to get them, or who were subscribed during the last reiteration of the event but never managed to get to level 46 in time.

Yes, 2.x is an upgrade of 1.x, but while you can log into the game and play without having bought 3.0, you can't log in with just a 1.x copy of the game (though all 1.x owners got a free upgrade to 2.x). The world as it was in 1.x is gone. The world as it was in 2.x is still there, as long as you haven't played through it all yet. Not all items from 1.x still exist; many of them (I can't say how many, since I'm not a legacy player) were 'ruined in the aftermath of the calamity'.

I don't count Dalamud minion as a 2.x item -- it's an item you got as a bonus for buying merchandise. Someone who wasn't subscribed could have bought said merchandise and gotten the minion code -- no way of utilizing it until they got a subscription, of course, but they could still have the code (i.e. the minion). It's comparable to pre-orders, though. If you bought the merchandise (or game) during a certain period, you got the bonus. (Note: I'm not trying to argue that you're wrong, since you're certainly entitled to your opinion, I'm merely explaining my opinion on it.)

Most event items have wound up on the Mogstation after their events occurred in 2.x. The only ones that haven't are the 'crossover events'. Does that mean people are automatically not allowed to ask the devs to bring the items back in some way? People have asked either for the event as it was, or to bring the items to Mogstation (or rather a copy of them, similar to how the xmas gear was a copy of the previous xmas gear, renamed and made unique/untradable), or put them in the Gold Saucer for MGP, or put them in the Gold Saucer together with event-themed Gates.

Then ask for similar events and items, not the exact same ones.

*cough* Read my previous paragraph, please. People have been asking for an opportunity to get the event rewards, whichever way the Devs decide to make it possible. Yes, some people have asked for the event to be run again, but just as many people (or more) have asked for alternative means. As for asking for 'similar items', I'd love that, but it doesn't help people who want that outfit.

I missed out on the dalamud horn, why should other people get retired stuff? I got over not getting the dalamud horn, I am sure other people can get over not having those outfits.

A complete new client with an own file folder I would not call an "upgrade", more a replacement.

[Khyan]

Nah, it should not come back. There was exclusive 1.0 content and items. There should be some exclusive 2.0 content and items.

No, there shouldn't. 1.0 is totally different than 2.0. 2.0 is similar than 3.0 (in fact, it's the same with new content).

You can't compare 2.X stuff with legacy items.

Why not? lol. Fact is, it's limited and you're just saying "you can't do that" cause you personally want the item. Should have played the game when the even was going on.
