I don't really get the "Yearly" Rewards.

[Nektulos-Tuor]

The butt monkey helmets and animal helmets feel kind of stupid. Wouldn't it be better if we had outfits instead that represented the year better? A hear a lot about how the game lacks memory, but I don't see anyone with this helmet. It just looks and feels like a silly waste of time.

I love Samurai helmets myself, I would love to have one in the game. However they just seem defiled by all the silly animals put on them and it actually to me makes it kind of .. well.. inappropriate? Were the Samurai really that much of a joke?

The Chinese are getting a new outfit appropriate to the holiday I think. I would much like that instead. I dislike these "exclusive" outfits and it honestly every time I see or hear one, makes me just want to quit the game, because it feels like you don't really care about people who want cool content or rewards.

Seriously though? Butt Monkey Helmets?

I wanna see something like this:

[AskaRay]

They're kabuto....traditional Japanese helmets.
Well I mean the animal is..you know..the animal for the zodiac of the year.

This year monkey so butt monkey helmets, haha.

Also butts are very funny in Japan.

Well I looked through the last 2 pages and could not find any thread about the yearly rewards.

Pretty much this. OP is just trying to continue the complaints about "China gets X, so I want X too!" without understanding why something exists and why something else doesn't. Such as the generic kabuto being... oh I don't know... for a future Samurai job. The one in the image holds no New Years significance at all. Likewise the outfit that China gets is not a New Years thing by implication. The cheongsam is simply an elegant Chinese dress that is commonly worn for events (like New Years, weddings, fancy old school dates, etc). Red being the color to ward off evil spirits from ruining the occasion. None of that represents anything about New Years for the west nor Japan.

Oh?

So what about all the Chinese Immigrants who came to the US and stayed? The US for example has no real culture, its a mix of thousands of them. I don't understand the logic, maybe someone wants to celebrate it here?

However this isn't about just that. I just don't see why they bothered making the helmets.

Because it's a tradition.
First was horse kabuto
then sheep kabuto
now monkey kabuto

...get over it?

I guess? It seems rather silly, I guess I will just ignore it. Like everyone else.

[AskaRay]

It may not be my tradition. It may be someones here though. The United States is a mixture of cultures. So, denying them that is actually pretty bad. I also don't care, your opinion sounds pretty silly to me. Although mine probably sounds whiny to you it doesn't make me wrong.

No I mean it literally is FFXIV tradition.
Not yours...mine...America's (???) or Japan's for that matter.
It's a FFXIV tradition.
