Seasonal Event Love

[Kaedan]

I'd very much enjoy more seasonal events based on traditional japanese holidays. I had western holidays events for years and years on other games, so I enjoy quite a lot the "holiday cultural exchange"

@Kaedan: March = White Day

I mostly agree with you here. I definitely think that Japanese holidays should have their place (my May, July, and September ideas are based on Japanese holidays) along with western holidays, but I think the best way to go about it is to use Japanese and western holidays as bases and then add a healthy spattering of "Eorzean" theme to it.

I did think of White Day for March, but I was trying to avoid holidays that only existed in one culture or the other.

I agree with this, I didn't mean a reproduction of the holidays like they are in the real world. The lore snippets (and illustrations) they put on the lodestone are my favourite parts of seasonal events.

There are allot of great ideas here and hope this gets some dev attention to. Bells are nice for items but shouldnt be the whole event. I think the snowball fight and opera house are great ideas. I think also with the opera houses they should do plays like the back story of the valentines event in xi and have the audience particapate in some way. Also the opera house can be used for every event. Keep the good ideas coming! Looking forward to reading more ^^.

a5t the end once each candle is out (based on how many people in the group. something may or may not happen.

That would be a great idea for the October or November event ^^ I too like the idea of the graveyard walks.

holloween is my fave time if year. I love the lore of it. I also like the japanese take on it also with the candle game. I'm happy they keot the taru taru panic at least for the female lalafell I can't wait to make my character :3

Well thankfully they've already started doing that. Even with Valentine's Day we had our own version with it's own lore and whatnot. I really hope they do more with that event next year.

I for one have become accustomed to the bells and will miss them in upcoming ones...

Damn you, Pavlov!
