Hatching-Tide 2021

[Iscah]

I suspect a lot of development time for seasonal events is taken up by the decision to hand decorate each of the three starter cities and the various housing zones. It's different each time.

Settling on a base design that is reused each year seems like an efficient approach to me - and would hopefully allow for more meat and rewards for the actual seasonal event quests themselves.

Are you sure? Maybe some things move around but I'm pretty sure decorations turn up in the same places every year. Maybe it depends on the holiday.

I also remember someone talking a while back about having looked at the game models of the cities and that all the event decorations are permanently there waiting to be switched on and off - which doesn't rule out them being moved around in the meanwhile, but doesn't sound like they start from scratch either.

They surely can't keep doing this forever right? I love seasonal events and it's awful that they've been combining them, specially since they don't double the rewards to have a kind of reward for each event. I know it's free content but this cutting of corners don't sit well with me. They're supposed to be on track already right? Hopefully they don't cut any more events.

Is that a dare?

The Moogle tome event has run concurrent with other events in the past, that its running now is no indication of if another event will be run or not so don't let that get you down. Also, for many events they tend not to announce them until the week (sometimes weekend) before the event starts.

At this point in time there's no reason to believe its cancelled or combined. Just wait and look for the announcement.

Maybe the chicken run fate returns?

It really is quite annoying. I’ve made my peace with the fact that I can’t wear hats as a Hrothgar. But why keep making hats as the main reward knowing a large portion of the player base can’t use them?

It's Good Friday and still no Hatching Tide announcement. Is there no Hatching Tide this year?

It doesn't look like it : (
Unfortunate. It's my favorite seasonal event.

My wife is chomping at the bit to get the rabbit-suit she missed last year.

This is now available in the cash shop if you missed the announcement after you originally made this post.
