Valentine's event 2019 info released

Have you done done Wanderer's Palace hard mode yet?

There's also Hien and the vast enjoyment he seems to get out of being the target of interest for male Xaela.

Ew. Terrible rewards. I wasn't expecting anything amazing but these are just... so low effort to the point that it's a bit embarassing.

I...the housing items are nice to look at, the cake would especially look nice in my café (and the mammet is DYABLE) but... even the promo image shows the lalafellin CUL just...crafting lol because that's the only way you'll see the knife.

Also, the promotional page also hints that the maze is making a comeback... I loved doing that last year!

I can't speak for the 2017 event, but the valentione's event usually has some fun stories.

The one with the tonberry slaves? I did that one. Rip that mamool ja at the ending cutscene though. That dungeon was about freeing the slaves while the copperbell mines was about killing slaves. I did do the Perfect Woman quest. That one was pretty funny.

From the new event picture though it seems like they might rehash the duty from last year but I don't know. I didn't hate the duty but every time the game paired me up with a guy character he instantly left LOL. But I guess it didn't help when I mentioned "Oh cool we're both guys." Then I had to wait until my hp ran out and duty failed...

The issue with WoW's holidays is it's the same content rehashed every year. People only do the content that can drop a mount, which is usually the first week then we would all burn out on it. The only time the holidays were truly active was when we where told all the holiday transmogs would be put in our (then) new transmog journal when Legion hit. It came and went, nothing was added and a few items form holidays we could glamour had the option taken away.

On the other hand, there is so much to do in WoW's events (if you want to fully complete one) that you can play all day and still have stuff to do the next day. FFXIV holidays are more bite-sized. These two games have a different approach to seasonal events, both have their pros and cons. Sadly one of the cons for FFXIV's changing events is that sometimes they are not as good as the previous year's. I still enjoy them though, especially for the aspect that they usually don't involve grinding or RNG.

Trash rewards. Garbage. I only hope they add the same mini game from last year. THAT was a good Valentione's Day.

"Love and affection-its not just for couples!"
I don't think it's really implying the elezen and the hyur on the art are gay but if people want to believe that then ok.

[Fourbestintoner]

They must have forgot about the event and reused the first assets they could think of that were planned for Golden Saucer.

[Alestorm]

This is true for some holidays, Brewfest can be done in a day as with Winterveil. Only a few holidays have multi-day's worth of things to do that aren't due to a 24 hour lock out. The year up to Legion was the most active I'd seen these events since Vanilla and yeah... they died again because we pretty much did everything. I prefer the model of each year they change it up with new stories and rewards. I will admit I am glad I don't need to farm/grind current content to just to try and get a Santa hat. (which wouldn't be so bad if WoW was even a half way decent game anymore)

Given the lore of Nym, it's so fitting that we see a Lalafell wielding the Tonberry Knife.
