Bring Back Garo Items

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)

Would you rather he have not done it, then?

Why does everything always have to be black or white on this forum?

In this case, its very much possible that it is black and white - the GARO license holders might simply not have been on board with an unlimited event, in which case the only options are a limited event or no event at all.
So its a valid question: If its not possible to have an event for an unlimited amount of time, should they simply not do it in the first place?

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

I wouldn't be opposed to the GARO items and mounts coming back as Mogstation stuff. Previous events do it, why can't crossover ones?

They would probably have to give the IP holder(TV Tokyo) a chunk of the proceeds.

Not to mention that Garo was mentioned to end somewhere in the beginning of Stormblood at first, but somehow made it until the beginning of Shadowbringers. It lasted far longer that it was supposed to.

Though I'm not opposed to the idea of bringing it back for new players if it's possible, something tells me that it's unlikely to happen, as sad as it is.

Major difference is that previous crossovers are SE's titles, so the company is free to decide if they want to put it in Mog or not.

As was said, they don't own the rights to GARO, so it's not their (SE's) call.

Not sure you (or anyone) is with GARO, but it's a pretty big..ish..deal here in Japan with many crossover events. The problem is who pays who, or if both agree for a mutual deal (like Monster Hunter), or if there is some kind of friendship between the two companies and both parties allow it to happen (like Yokai Watch).

I got the Garo stuff I wanted during the event, but I'm probably mistaken but can't orher new people just buy the gear at the Gold Saucer? I remember people who didn't want to PvP getting it there? I got mine the normal way so not sure what the Saucer gear is like or even the difference.

The GARO event lasted through the period Keita Amemiya (GARO's creator and IP owner) was working with Creative Business Unit III on the Ivalice raids' bosses.

Though I'm not opposed to the idea of bringing it back for new players if it's possible, something tells me that it's unlikely to happen, as sad as it is.

It could easily return if they every have Amemiya come back as a guest designer for a storyline.

I got all the mounts and some of the glams. I missed out on a lot of the cool sets, and yeah I'd be happy if it came back so I could get the rest, but at the same time, It's cool to have some unattainable stuff ingame. I say this because I have the mounts, but I know it's hypocrisy because I'd love for the past feast season mounts to be exchangeable for a new pvp currency (probably coming with the new mode on endwalker). I just know I wouldn't be mad if new people had a chance to get those garo mounts and glams. Ideally I'd like for these crossover events to come back around every 2 years or so, to give everyone a chance while still retaining some rarity.
