    Huh, I've got the mounts and my Grand Company was - and is - the Immortal Flames. Same goes for my partner. If I remember correctly, we spent a couple of weeks with a few matches each evening to get our mounts - not "nigh impossible" at all.

    ...specially because for one of the Mounts Frontline didnt even matter, you had to play Feast (8 vs. 8 at the time, I believe). For a second mount, both wins in Frontlines and Feast counted, so again: Your GC didnt matter. Only the last mount required Frontline-wins - but even back then we already had the freelancer-option, so you could have ended up in maelstrom matches purely by chance.

    Maelstrom always winning or you having to be with them is also closer to a meme than to the truth - winning as part of the other GCs was and is still possible, specially if you have someone to coordinate the team (that someone could be you, as long as you know enough about the modus thats played and how to do callouts there).

    Stop blaming missing out on this on anyone but yourself - and stop putting out missinformation. For two mounts you didnt even have to touch frontlines, so Maelstrom or not doesnt matter.

    To save time, I'll just copy/paste what I wrote the last time you started a thread requesting GARO:

    The first run was probably a kind of mutual sponsorship, or even perhaps money was spend in some direction.

    Now, it’s not so much in GARO’s interest to do FFXIV; moreover, there is a good chance they have some kind of exclusivity agreement with PAO (pachinko place they collaborate with) or some such.

    Moreover, there will absolutely be howls of complaints that A) certain jobs won’t have gear like dancer and B) zomgwtfbbq Hrothgar/Viera can’t wear the head pieces (can they?)

    Point being it’s not just a simple switch on/off, and very much might require SE paying to allow the event to come back, or at the very least an investment of man hours I would rather see elsewhere.

    There’s a lot of unknowns and assumptions involved in collaborations that we just don’t know about, and I would rather not have SE spend money to bring back this content if possible. If GARO wants to pay, bring it on.

    That’s business.
    As an updated opinion, I could see this returning via Mogstation, since there'd be money in it for both GARO and SE.

    I'm not sure about the helmets for the armoured sets, but a lot of the Makai headpieces were circlets and hairpins that presumably work for everyone.

    Weapons for new classes would be the main thing actually missing.

    I really wish for another collaboration and maybe have them add the 4th mount. I was always disappointed that there wasn't a 4th mount to go along with the Dragoon set.

    I don't really like timed exclusives in general, unless they're for specific holidays I guess.
    It's the same in fighting games with timed costumes, it feels predatory to me and like they're just trying to make you buy it out of fear of losing out.

    Huh? Dancer can wear the ranged Makai set and I'm pretty sure the hairpin is visible on viera as well.

    Having gotten almost all of the gear (missed out on a few pieces of jewelry), I don't mind if it comes back again. A lot of cool looking stuff, definitely understand those that would like it back again.

    Timed exclusive items should not be a thing.
    So, yes, please.
    I already have all the sets and mounts, but still, since the items can still be used by people who got them, I don't see any reason why the items are no longer obtainable.

    Cause YoshiP doesn't want to pay for it again, simple as that. You really think they want to budget another Garo contract when they are now willing to pay above-market rates for new servers because of how desperate the situation is?

    Of course it is just that simple. That's not a good reason though. He should have put more thought into that contract before signing it in the first place then.
    (that's not to complain about Yoshida, we all make mistakes)
