Is it true that Halloween in FFXIV is cancelled?

Same, love me some All Saint's Wake. If they're planning on bringing back the FFXV crossover like they have with some others this year, the MiR event makes sense to give everyone a chance at getting the Regalia as I think you had to buy it with MGP.

The Regalia won't be part of Make It Rain. They did say they're going to bring back the FFXV Crossover event sometime this expansion but they need to find a place where it will fit around the normal event schedule.

Assuming those assets were finished ahead of time... : /

The live letter stated outright that the rewards planned for All Saint's Wake will be allocated to being rewards for the Make it Rain event instead. Unless that's changed, you can count on them releasing those rewards at that point, and it states that the campaign will be in effect for an extended period of time.

From what they said yes and no. Sounds like the make it rain event and Halloween events are getting combined

[Allegor]

I wouldn't mind events being copy paste of last year's, given the circumstances, but I'm guessing that would have meant there wouldn't be anything to put on the store this time around.

This is the one thing I've been sad about... hope we get a huge blowout event next year.

I'm not really sure why they couldn't throw a surprise Halloween event with the first/second year's data. I mean, yes I was there and yes there is some sense of pride in the whole "I was there! You weren't so if you want it, buy it on Mogstation!"

...but this isn't a normal case, and I'm sure some newer players would appreciate the older glamour. Even if it was literally last year's event repeated, would be better than nothing.

It's probably about the rewards and quest completion and achievement data, and such. Just like how you can't redo other rerun events (DQ, FFXI, FFXIII, Yo-kai other than the new stuff, etc), they'd probably end up locking out anyone who did the quests the first time around if they just straight up reran a previous event.

That is most likely correct, but I still don’t see the problem, especially if it were say, year 1. The amount of players currently who completed that event is very likely a small percent of the population. Even I was there and did not get all the pumpkin heads, so even for me it would be good.

they'll probably address it a bit in more detail during the next live letter which is pretty close to the upcoming event.
