Worst Summer Event EVER

[CaptainLagbeard]

Seasonal Events have never been particularly long.... But this one felt shorter than usual... But there was also DT's release which was probably a bigger priority than Moonfire Faire for the devs.

One example is actually the Moonfire Faire itself
It's previous years glamours (the bikinis) were purchasable each year throughout 2013, 2014, 2015 from the vendor

And then mog station happened

Yes, the reruns of the items from 1.0 summer events. No NEW event items were ever obtainable more than 1 year.

Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd. makes 68% of its operating profit from FFXIV. That's for the entire company. It does not use your subscription for FFXIV, it uses that money to finance console games which only make up 0.5% of its annual revenue. FFXIV is only funded by microtransactions from the online store. That's why these summer events exist: to promote FOMO and sales on the online store. You will continue subscribing and you will buy the "new" outfits on the store. Nothing will change.

Calling these things "events" feels like such a misnomer when it's a couple of quests followed by a highly situational emote that most people will never find a use for.
It's crazy to me how a lot of those 3 dollar cash shop items like the butterfly kimonos were event rewards at one point. You guys were eating good in the past, huh?

Boring future mogstation items

My only real gripe i have, the emote doesnt loop... come on SE..

One year we will get a mount that emotes splashes of water. And it may or may not look like a Bomb. A water Bomb.

oooh it has some mediocre quest! eew
why I can't just come and loot the new items

Ive never found any of the events compelling or worthwhile enough to do any of them.
They don't offer fun, i think they just offer filler for you to waste your time clicking through and walking back and forth to, in exchange for the sub time you get some inconsequential gimmick or gag.
