Valentine's event 2019 info released

[Godzillaxpowerrangers]

I would have been fine with a minion. Valentines and hevensward are the the only events that dont have one.

Just wish that tonberry nice was for Paladin and we got a matching hoodie and tonberry mask so we could look just like them and stab our enemies to death. Imagine the 100s of lalafell that would dress like that! XD ....I'm a make my own glam based off this. 8T

The ARR mages' cowls should work well for a Tonberry costume.

Could use the "lantern shield" as well! Not really close to their lanterns, but it's a start.

i'm not impressed with this years valentione's day rewards. the drk weapon doesn't look that great, the tonberry knife (while neat in concept) feels wasted being used as a CUL off-hand, and both look more like mgs prizes than actual seasonal event rewards. the food, while looking nice, is yet another case of "limited time food furniting, either place it and hope no one eats it or hope no one tries to remove it". the doll is okay, i guess?

Name one (1) game with a better St. Valentione's Day event than FFXIV (that isn't FFXI or some other FF game it possibly appears in that I don't know about).
You can't so stop complaining.

While I just stopped playing it - since you asked - WoW's event has the same items each year unless they add something. It also has two mounts and a title that you can try for and purchas, and if you do certain achievements as part of a meta achievement, eventually you can get another mount, too.

Things in their Love is in the Air holiday that you can obtain:
Title of the Love Fool
Bouquet of Ebon Roses offhand
Love Rocket Mount - low RNG drop from holiday dungeon
Swift Lovebird - purchased from vendor with holiday currency
Cosmetic head items
Neck armor items
2 shields
3 toys
1 pet
1 shirt
and an item which lets people click on it and dress up in dinner suits temporarily.

I think that's everything. I had heard that there were going to be new things added this year, but can't confirm that because they haven't updated the guide on their 3rd party website yet.

As it stands, I love FFXIV and look forward to participating in the event this year. I do wish that there were at least an outfit or minion - if not a mount like last year - but hopefully that means that the other holiday events will offer even better items. It's probably not their focus with a new expansion looming, but it would be nice if they could give more holiday-specific rewards.

Hopefully they don't start pushing politically driven agendas all over the place. I just want to play a fun game and not have the game tell me all the time "look at these gay people, they are so gay, you should accept them and be gay too." There's already enough cringe in duty finder..

I’ve come all the way from Twitter to tell you we really, really don’t want you anyway. But I’m sorry you’re worried about anime lesbians “converting” you I guess.

[Alestorm]

I get the feeling this is meant to be a test of the idea of glamouring crafter off-hands. The issue here is they opted to try it on the one you see the least.

I hope the story isn't another generic anime lesbian cringe fest. We already see plenty of those everywhere. If anything, it should be a fun story about people who aren't in love like the description suggests, but that picture doesn't seem like it. Hopefully they don't start pushing politically driven agendas all over the place. I just want to play a fun game and not have the game tell me all the time "look at these gay people, they are so gay, you should accept them and be gay too." There's already enough cringe in duty finder. Those RPing people make Palace of the Dead a even bigger slog to do by not hurrying up, and instead they just stand right outside the teleporter doing affection emotes wasting everyone's time. There's also very little content celebrating men. All of these pictures are always girls. At least put a guy in there. Now it don't gotta be love oriented but most of these events never put a focus on men.

Its underwhelming, to say the least... maybe the next event will have something decent. but I doubt it at this point.
