Don't Get Rid Of The Songbirds!

[SenorPatty]

If they dare touch best girl Narumi, I will have words.

Spoken like true filth.


Everyone knows Masha is the best.

[Vanitas]

The unmistakable scent of heresy.

Ah yes Masha, younger sister to one if the most coconut (with lime shaken all up in it) brained mi'qote in all of Eorzea.....BAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.

I think the events should be drastically different each year, some of these NPC's I am so bored of now. Bye Songbirds, not gonna miss you.

[Riardon]

I really dislike this event. It's very cringy for me. It's oriented from Japan so I can't relate to this whole idol waifu culture.
I also dislike the Halloween one.
At least this year they chose to give a more serious tone to it with a side message about human trafficking and all the nasty things young women fall victims to.
The whole stage thing was very cringe worthy though.

[Hasrat]

The continuity, such as it is, is sorta nice. One-off events that are just as soon forgotten can be just as dull. But, I was also never here for the prior event themes; my only exposure to LLD has been with the Songbirds. But if it's not them, it's every other annual event that reuses previous characters.

I've never been bothered by them, but I also feel it's time to move on. 3 years is a good run. Enough time to feel like we've been a part of their progression, not quite totally in the "overstayed their welcome" territory. I wouldn't be too upset with annual events having a sort of running theme like this for 3 years.

Which means we should be just about done pounding mochi for Heaven's Turn...

I think they should bring them back because they are such good characters.

They are kind of similar to Mumor in FFXI. They brought back Mumor for 10 years. Only she was the summerfest character. It was always nice to see a seasonal characters story unfold over the years.

'Eh. I got four glow sticks out of the deal, so I can't complain. It just struck me as being incredibly short. Would have been nice to have actually had a concert with real songs to listen to.

That's what I want. The Songbirds don't have to be the main part of every Little Ladies Day celebration. Simply having them show up as part of the holiday scenery like the blooming cherry trees, while we do the newest seasonal quests, would be great!

This is how I feel too. I've enjoyed the Songbirds, but I feel like their story is finished now. They've achieved success, there's nothing more to do with them. I would like to see something new next year, but I wouldn't mind them still being around, performing as part of the festival. Maybe even add the fate again, I did enjoy that - it was silly but fun.

I'm honestly curious what makes you consider them "such good characters"?
I know I have made it quite clear by now that I dont think so, so I'd like to understand what other people like about them. Maybe my german client is wastly different from the english one and they're brillianlty written in other languages.

They all have basically no personalty, no real character development - maybe thats asking a bit much of seasonal characters, granted. But when you call them "good characters", I'd imagine you see something like that?
I just cant count a pretty face and a cute outfit as "good character"... and that seems to be all they're offering to me.

Well in the first year you got to talk to them ask them a bunch of questions about their backstory and upbringing which was nice.
