[Request] In Light Of Outbreak And People Staying Home, Bring Back Some Old Events

[Liam_Harper]

Seems WoW has extended their 100% exp buff all the way up to the next expansion.

It's a smart move imo, already I'm seeing friends chatting about resubbing. I like ff14 and appreciate the devs work and the difficult situation, but an empty patch with a long delay until the next, while competing games are offering incentives carries a risk of losing players. Breaks are good but if you encourage your players to spend 4+ months in another mmo that's approaching a new expansion, you'll lose some of them.

If there's anything they can flip a switch on, it's worth considering.

A moogle event which offers some old seasonal rewards would be nice. There are some items still missing from the Mog Station, like rainmaker hair and at least one barding.

They need to add some doggo's and some animations (dances) from beast tribes would be nice as well. The moogle dance for example and others would get people chasing those tomestones quickly.

While I'm definitely in favour the idea if it's easily done, one thing that might make it more work than flipping a switch is that these events haven't been updated since their last appearance but the game has. On the surface most of these events may not seem to clash with the changes to the game but unexpected clashes with code "under the hood" are common enough without sticking in content that hasn't been tested or updated in a few years.

Imagine the headache for SE if a re-introduced event bugged out massively making it unplayable or even interfering with other aspects of the game, forcing them to take it back down or dedicate currently limited resources to fix it.

They really need to add new stuff that are not accessories to moogle tomes
probs about time FFXV stuff either comes to mogstation or the event makes another round adding engine blade and some more music to rewards

I would rather see old events come back than another Moogle event. I think every crossover but FFXV has happened more than once. (I guess Garo only happened once, but it lasted forever.) I would imagine they would do XV at least a second time before they retire the stuff to the mogstation. I think they should just leave Garo and Yo-Kai active, unless the owners of those have a problem with it. Then people can just work on it at their leisure.

new items would awesome too for these events

Yeah, but I'd imagine there are a lot of us here who are here specifically because either a we like final fantasy, or b we don't like wow.

Wow having a 100% exp boost does nothing for me, and I'd like to point out that xiv already has exp boosts baked in.

I also already have it all at 80, so a new boost would do nothing for me.

I would love if the FFXV event came back. I took a hiatus for 3 years during which time it happened so I missed out. It would be great to get a second round of this one. Or another Moogle event. I'd take either/or.

[Jandroid]

I think that the past Final Fantasy collaboration events should come back. It helps to have more things to do between patches especially since everyone is stuck at home. They would have to update these events of course so it isn't something they can turn on and off like some kind of switch.

Another thing to note is that 2020 marks the 10 year anniversary of the original launch of Final Fantasy XIV so I'm hoping that there are exciting content planned ahead. The Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XI, and Dragon Quest X collaboration events actually came out to celebrate the first anniversary of A Realm Reborn so it would be great to see something big for the 10 year anniversary of the original Final Fantasy XIV. Looking back, it's amazing how an MMORPG that had such a disastrous launch eventually becomes a universally acclaimed title that won multiple accolades within 10 years.
