Don't Get Rid Of The Songbirds!

[Kacho_Nacho]

After I did the seasonal quest, I was surprised when one of the Songbirds asked me to come to the show because she felt this might be the last time she'd see me.

Please don't get rid of the Songbirds! I love Little Ladies Day and it just wouldn't be the same without them.

Which is why I have participated in at least 1 fate per day.

I think SE is looking at how many people are actually doing the quest to determine if they will do more of the Songbirds in the future.

We had them for three years now... I'm quite done with them - I'll admit that I never liked them, but I'm probably not the target audience for an idol-pop-band.

Personally I would enjoy quests related to the dolls and the tradition/lore of the LLD event again over some girlies dancing on a stage.

I'm not sure if you did the first two Little Ladies Day Events in ARR?
The first one was about Edvya - a doll, modeled after a Sultans daughter. The GSM-guild had built her for a competion about making dolls, but she wasnt working, so they asked you to show her around to cheer her up and in the end she didnt want to leave your side anymore - which is how we got that minion.
The second one was about a rich Ul'dahn man who lost touch with his daughter and tried to win her back by building a showcase of lifesized dolls - in the end his daughter told him that she was upset that he was working so much and never had time for her again. She was still happy about the dolls because it showed her that her dad does care for her, but would have rather spend time with him.

...and after that... three years of Dating Sim and Dancing... I'm glad they included that little quest at the end this year because the whole "Oh, Songbirds are back on stage"-buisness was quite boring and stale by now.

I really, really hope they'll go back to the roots of the festival again and drop those girlies. I'm so, so done with them and so, so ready to have some nice, heartwarming little stories again.

Hmm...if we're going by jpn idol standards, "Songbirds" might remain but the ladies might not. Can't remain young and pretty for long in that industry ;p

Personally, I'd like to see a different little ladies day event next year. I don't hate the idols but it'd be nice to change things up every year and then.

Maybe they can use them again for Hildi's questline. Since they used Ultros for a seasonal event, they can do it the otherway around now!

Just add a songstress job and have them in the quests ;]

I like them...but I like the lore and meaning behind the holiday even more. I wouldn't mind if the Songbirds were still part of it, but not the main attraction.

I'm not a fan of idol culture, but from what I understood, they "graduate" at some point and new girls assume the mantle. I wouldn't mind a femroe in green!

That said, maybe they'll be there but not as the main event. Or they could bring back the Delivery Moogle Quests where we can find the girls again.I'm ok with that.

Just add a songstress job and have them in the quests ;]

Or even... Dancer!??!?!?!

lol would be fun though.

Another way to keep them around might be to use them in the Gold Saucer as a series of GATEs? Maybe help them set up for a performance and then attend the show using more or less the FATE currently in Ul'Dah?
