Event

[Kiara]

For all you Eorzeans who are looking forward to having fun in the sun, our summer event is scheduled to kick off during the beginning of August, where everyone will be able to obtain stylish yukatas!

Unfortunately we will not be distributing the swimwear from last year’s summer event, but if you missed out on the previous event, our threads this year are second to none!

We had really wanted to provide the wallpapers that were so popular last year as well, but the development team is crunching really hard on version 2.0 preparations and had to put it off. Next year we are planning to do what we did for our previous event, so please look forward to this upcoming one as well as the future!

Hi Rukkirii,

Thanks for the update!

I can't wait to see Square's version of the Yukata! (^_^)

For those wanting the Swimsuits back, it doesn't mean SE won't ever bring them back. For Summer-related attire, there aren't that many categories, so they may very well design out even cooler / cuter Swimsuits for next year.

I can't wait for the Summer Festival and the Decorated Party Ferry Boat from Ul'dah to Limsa and other decor.

Yukata is so weeaboo :/ (Hypocrisy!!!)

I guess if the Yukata is anything like Maya's in Tenjou Tenge that would be kinda neat... (Insert Stereotypical Anime Here)

I liked the swimsuit so much I made a cosplay of it ;~; (As opposed to buying a swimsuit just like it with a few edits and running around in it)

LOL totally not weeaboo...

What an ignorant comment. Saying something is very weaboo, but you cos play anime stuff all over your website....

It seems "weeaboo" in the aspect that compared to last years event it is something that comes entirely from Japan vs swimsuits that come from around the world..and seeing as people play this game from around the world...that is what I meant. inb4 SE is a japanese company..I know they are, they can put whatever they wish in their game, etc.

I have nothing against Japanese culture, and yes..in high school I was a weeaboo lol I have no problem with weeaboos, so please don't be ignorant yourself and assume things ^_^ Haha I have cat ears I wear, a Yoko clip I made for my hair, Circle lens, etc...yes I am very weeaboo/into japanese culture. I love it to death. And since people continue to assume things, my parents made me take Japanese lessons from when I was 8 until the end of high school, so I got very much into their culture, anime, etc and had plenty of exchange students from Japan and even went there several times before. It is a wonderful place with wonderful people.

I am sure I will love the Yukata haha. Did I say anywhere in my post that weeaboo is horrible and shameful? Hell, I am going to Otakon next week...LOL

All I was trying to point out was that I like the swimsuit more. <3 No hate here haha

LOL totally not weeaboo...

I never said I wasn't nor was I implying being one is bad. ^_~

You know from the dev's post she didn't say that they were never bringing them back. Just that they won't be available this year. If we ask nicely enough then perhaps after the launch of 2.0 and when things have simmered down for them, they will make it to where all who missed out on them last year will be able to get them. It's honestly not worth the anger and hostility over. There are much more things in life to get angry over than a piece of data on the game.

No offense is meant in this post.

This is highly disappointing. Myself and my wife both purchased a 90 day sub with no intention of playing until the summer event started.. for the swimsuits. Already have AF + Ifrit/Garuda weapons so there's really no reason to play. We only wanted them for cosmetics for 2.0. Not sure why you cannot just allow both.

Well that's unfortunate. Seeing as you've been registered since April 2011, did you keep up with any dev tracker posts? They pretty much told us last year we won't be getting the swimsuits from event this year.

For the Easter event we got the new rewards plus access to last year's egg hats by completing just a few extra steps. Why not do the same for this event and the swimsuits?

[Keres]

Sort of funny to see some people who have said in other threads that "SE should stop wasting time with trivial features" are now demanding that SE drop everything and program in a way for them to obtain the swimsuits from last year's event.

The Easter event was basically the same. So unless this summer event is the same it wouldn't make sense to do that.

Considering how much they have on their plate with 2.0, shouldn't the event basically be the same anyway?
