All Saints' Wake 2020

[Crushnight]

The holiday is themed around fireworks. 4th of july is the only holiday I know of where fireworks are the main gimmick

Guy Fawkes Night for UK residents, granted that is November but still a holiday(If choose to celebrate it, certainly fallen out of fashion around where I live) centred around Fireworks, certainly would never expect any game to have that as a celebration in it XD

4th July is the same principle, so highly unlikely that Moonfire Faire is based on it and more based on Japanese Festivals, they do however add stuff based on other cultures(Ninja Warrior anyone) but the central theme is distinctly Japanese.

Cancelling All Saint's Wake makes me so sad. It's my favorite time of year, and my favorite event all year long. It sucks even more since we won't really get to celebrate halloween IRL as usual because of Covid...

There's nothing to stop players from organizing their own in-game events as they usually do.

Sure, but there's no whimsy of an All Saint's Wake quest or Halloween themed rewards, but at least the later look like they might be given out some other way. Hopefully it will be addressed in the live letter on the 9th.

The planned event rewards will be obtainable in the Make it Rain event. Was stated in last PLL

I see a lot of FC's/players still doing their haunted houses and events. It would be cool to see some trick or treating type of thing done in the housing wards.

All Saint's Wake at the Gold Saucer? But Godbert is already there and he's scary enough.

Jokes aside, merging the two events sounds like it could be neat. Especially if we got themed GATEs. But, as stated previously, the event has likely already been fully planned, scripted, and coded by now.

The gold saucer should be decorated for many of the seasonal events and have special things going on for each of them, like you said, themed G.A.T.E.s, or special items, featured and or changed certain games. Maybe instead of putting previous years stuff on the cash shop, have them at the gold saucer during the event for MGP. (obviously wouldn't happen for anything already in the cash shop.)

This could go on alongside the usual event and for the first year would mean a little more work, but what happens at the gold Saucer could be essentially the same each year while the quests and storyline change each year as usual. I'm not say that story needs to even involve the GS. It's just a business celebrating the holiday, and would make it feel like the holidays have a wider reach in the world.

It's odd that we have events that originate in other parts of the world but those parts don't seem to celebrate them. Valentione's Day and Starlight Celebration both originate in Ishgard, but the city and surrounding areas are never even decorated. You would also think something would be going on in Kugane during Heavensturn.

So...and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this and redirect me if so ^^;;
But, I was wanting to get my hands on some Halloween glams, as this will be my first time playing FFXIV through a Halloween season this year, being new and all.
With that being said...where may I be able to obtain the ghost glam? Or the Witch's hat? ETc? If I have to wait next year, that's fine and all. I was just curious more than anything.

So the costumes are handled the same way as pretty much every other seasonal event. You won't be able to obtain previous years' rewards in-game, but instead once a year has passed from the initial time the event ran, they'll add the rewards to the Mog Station to be purchased with real money. So things like the ghost and witch costumes (also there's a vampire cape and a werewolf outfit) are already available on there right now.
