I'll admit I'm kinda looking forward to this. I want the Snow clothes for the lulz.

We'll be coat-bro's. We'll need a secret handshake.

Why not just bump weapons? I'd make a "docking" joke, but I don't want to get shanked.

edit: or I could point out that in the top image near the left hand upper corner there are two fingers pointing towards the "X" that look like Goatse, but that might be a bit tasteless.

Yeah I REALLY want the Snow outfit but I'm sure it will result in this ><  SO what I'm hoping is that once they debut a new event article of clothing I'll be able to don my coat and feel less clone-ish rofl ><

No shame, I'm amped.

As much as I don't really like FF13, these costume pieces and weapons are pretty damn awesome.

Here I go doing these quests a gazillion times for all my characters.

Sweeeeeet! More reason to play. But, I want 2.1 nows.

Wait, there's no hat? I was counting on that Snow beanie for my Aleport scallawag!

Well, the weapons and clothing have really bad stats. It's pretty close to vanity items.

Because of this, I think we'll see them about as often as we see people running around with the Warrior of Light Helm/Moogle Hat. 

I believe it'll be us roleplayers who get the most out of these items, as opposed to standard players.
