Do you want Garo gears/mounts to appear in the game again ?

[JamieRose]

Firstly, I am truly sorry that I'm talking about this topic again. I posted a post about Garo gears/mounts back in early January, when I just started the game for a few weeks. Now that I reached the endgame of XIV, I always try to collect glamours and mounts that I like, and yet the Garo-exclusive ones remain a missing part.

I know I am being whiny but everytime I think that I missed the Garo event, and the FFXV event for Regalia just because I started the game a bit late hurts me so much. I do think there are still some people out there who started the game late, or, didn't pay attention to Garo event until it's gone. So, hopeless or not, I still believe if there are enough demands, we could make Square Enix consider about it.

SE doesn't need to bring back the whole event, could just let the gear re-appear in game as rewards for specific PvP results, or, they could sell them on Mog Station. I'm willing to buy because Garo has some of the best stuffs in this game.

So, what is your opinion ? Do you want the Garo to come back (just the glams at least) ? Do you think the comeback is possible ? Will it be on Mog Station ?

Thank you all once again and I hope things will work out for us glam-chasers

They never should have been taken out of the game, nor should they have been locked behind the horrible PVP in this game.

Then for The Regalia, that COULD come back as a Mog Store item. But I think is No chance the event will ever return, so the title is no longer obtainable.
Sorry Fam :/

A) Wasn't the FFXIII-event two or three times running before stuff appeared at Mogstation? (Hadn't played 2.x at that time, so can only guess from what I heard.)
B) And hasn't Yokai been announced to have a third run this year - including the so far missing job-weapons?

->I'm pretty sure the XV-event will appear one more time before car and glamour land at Mogstation.

Sure, I'd like for them to be back in the game, but there's almost zero chance of it happening. Squeenix isn't gonna give Mappa (the studio that did the most recent Garo anime) free advertisment, and Mappa isn't gonna pay for advertisement for an anime that's 2 years old. They were removed from the game no doubt because the initial contract period was up.

It's similar to how the Berserk gear was removed from Dragon's Dogma for the Dark Arisen release. It came out some years after the Berserk movies were out, so the movie studio wasn't gonna pay to keep the stuff in the game, and Capcom wasn't gonna give them free advertisement because businesses don't do that generally speaking.

Unfortunately that IP doesn't belong to SE. Maybe one day they will come back maybe not.

I remember last year when they were reminding everyone that GARO event will be coming to end and to make sure to get it done before it leaves.

[Ursa_Vonfiebryd]

Garo? Nah.
Something else longstanding and enough to get people back into the pvp game? Absolutely.

Only the mounts require winning. The gear just required grinding for wolf marks, which you get for just participating--you get 1000 just for doing the daily roulette.

Whoops. Wrong quote. But yeah.

This, they likely signed a limit contract with whomever owns the rights due to the promotion tying in with a Remaster for the original 2005 TV series. The GARO promotion was never meant to last very long at all and they gave us advanced warning that it would be leaving well before it was taken out of the game. It sucks for people who joined after the promotion ended in 5.1, but everyone else had a period of nearly three years to get items from it particularly since the Frontlines daily exists and gave out 1,000 Wolf Marks simply for participating as Ursa noted.

As for whether or not the contract will be renewed, it's entirely up to SE and GARO's parent company to strike another agreement. GARO: Versus Road airs this year which would give them justification to do another tie in, but the fact that SE didn't renew the contract makes it seem like the two sides couldn't reach a mutually beneficial deal to begin with.

lol I had some questions until I scrolled further down

[SonjaRampage]

Naw, they were in the game for a really really long time to be fair and they made clear that these items were going away. I would rather them focus on new events please.

It never felt like an event though. It wasn't a short-term promotion; there were no quests attached to it. I wouldn't even know it was a crossover if I hadn't been told. They were just there.

Saying it shouldn't come back so they can focus on new events sounds a bit like saying all the Alexandrian gear should be dumped so they can work on something new.

Having it there long-term wasn't taking away from anything else or preventing them from running other "temporary feature" events in the meanwhile. It wasn't taking resources away from anything else.

Obviously it had to go for reasons beyond their control, but they didn't remove it just to keep it exclusive.
