Are they confirmed job locked? I think it would be stupid to give ninja something plate like then monk has something completely different.

Here's to hoping

I'm glad we're getting a PvP oriented event, and that the PvP rewards are dyeable.

I don't want to hear any complaints from those that simply choose the Gold Saucer option because they refuse to try/don't like PvP.

As long as there is a non-pvp option I won't complain. It will probably be ridiculously grindy though with sets costing millions of MGP. That's my primary concern. I never watched the tokusatsu series but I did watch the anime, I desperately want the gold/silver/black armors at the minimum.

So applying that logic, if people don't like to PvE should every event have a PvP alternative?

I'd be perfectly fine with every collaboration event having both a PvE and a PvP way of obtaining the items.

But it's a valid complaint to be unable to obtain the dyeable version of a collaboration event, if said player doesn't like PvP. I think both the PvP and the Gold Saucer versions should be dyeable.
People who enjoy PvP will be able to obtain it through PvP, people who don't enjoy PvP will be able to obtain it from the Gold Saucer, perhaps PvPers being able to obtain it a bit faster, as incentive. Bottom line being that collaboration events are supposed to be fun to participate in.

But enjoy PvPing with players who likely won't pull their own weight to obtain points for the event gear, since I doubt they'll be tied to winning PvP matches.

Yokai you had to do FATEs. I don't like FATEs, so I didn't do the event. I didn't complain. Wild concept.

So you agree that having multiple ways to obtain collaboration event items is a good thing, then?
