The Starlight Celebration!

Master, Master!
The Starlight Celebration is here again, kupo!

You...you have no idea what I'm talking about?
Well...the Starlight Celebration is...
Well, it's happy and glad and busy and grand.
It's noisy and crazy and fun and then...


I...I'm so excited I can't think straight, kupo...
In any case, you're going to love it!
It's a great festival, kupo!

Up until now, those red-wearing smilebringers have stolen the show with all their joyful present-giving and laughter, kupo!

But festivals are moogle territory!
This year, the M.H.M.U. will bring you a Starlight Celebration to remember, kupo!

If those smilebringers are going to win all the children's hearts, then the moogles will focus on the adventurer population. We have presents galore for you all, kupo!

Except...we've sort of run into a snag, kupo.
As you probably know, adventurers never stay still for very long. They're always off killing some dragon, or saving the world or something, and you can never pin them down, kupo.
Even using the incredible crystal ball network of the M.H.M.U., we're finding it impossible to track every adventurer's movements!

Then we thought, "Who better to find an adventurer than another adventurer?"
We'll employ your services to deliver all the greeting cards we have prepared, which can then be exchanged for a wonderful gift, kupo!

Hm?
You're telling me those smilebringers manage to deliver their presents all over Vana'diel in a single
night? You must be pulling my bobble, kupo!
You couldn't accomplish that feat with all the airships in Jeuno!
Well, we're not doing this to prove who's better!
This is for the adventurers, so let's all pitch in and make it a great festival, kupo!

[Dimmauk]

Yeah I was just reading about this too.

I'm interested in the Santa body armor.

[BebopALoo]

/hump governator. :love

[spira]

i see new xmas body eq. sweeeet

[Nyamavu]

YAY! XMAS ROBES!! I can't wait!!! I wonder what kind of special effect the robe will have?

I wonder if the gloves in the pic have anything to do with the event? Probably not as they look just like ordinary mage's mitts to me. The event will probably start after the December update, they usually stick holiday event items in with the updates.

[Kaisha-in]

They better have X-Mas subligaria too.

[Dyire]

arg, stupid school, I heard about it a few moments ago and literally ran out of class to read up about the official news post XD

[HAcoreRD]

*A Gil seller
*A fishing/mining bot
*A afk.

Official site for Final Fantasy XI

[Governator]

Seems the URL in the official update is wrong. Here's the proper URL.

[Evenstrife]

I sure hope the same jingle everyone heard in Jeuno last year will return this year. That brings back the greatest memories. ._.;

[LexiconDevil]

Starts december 12th, thats frank sinatra's brithday, as well as mine!

[Zaft]

I wonder if the gloves in the pic have anything to do with the event? Probably not as they look just like ordinary mage's mitts to me.

from what i can see they look different, atleast the cuffs do. yay new semi-worthless equipment that will only ever be used if u dont have equipment or if your lvling a lvl 1! wh00t!

[Equinsuocha]

from what it looks like, it's going to be a robe (can't equip gloves) and pants (can't equip boots) like the swimsuits during summer's event.

[HAcoreRD]

so event starts after update, but friday is when the "quest" is started.

[Force-Attuned Krogoth]

Sweet zombie Jeebus, this is great. It's going to fit right in with my Christmas plans. Santa Krog and his merry elves handing out fireworks to all the kiddies. And they're giving me just the wardrobe to do it.

Off-topic completely: Governator, is that a Romantic Leaf in your sig?

[Fleurae]

This sounds interesting , i haven't been playing long so I haven't seen many events.
But anyway, unless someone leads me to believe otherwise..i'll be looking forward to this ^^.

[Bubbaman]

Hmm, maybe we get new, bigger trees which will enhance the moghancements from last year's trees.

[Dyire]

[Sammonoske]
