Adventurer's Guild Breathes New Life Into Festival!

 

At last we welcome the tidings of summer─the warm glow of the sun, glistening in the crystal blue waters of the Rhotano Sea; the chirping of birds and the humming of busy bees; and the festivals by which we celebrate the season. Though a time for mirth and merriment to be sure, summer also gives us pause, for the memories of bombards and their onerous assults still burn brightly in the minds of many and more.

 

Given time, these fiery visions of the past would fade, but not before the Adventurers' Guild announced the revival of the Moonfire Faire. With nary a bombard in sight, the people of Eorzea are baffled by its return. As the premeire purveyor of truth in Lominsa, it is the duty of the Harbor Herald to dispel the fog of rumors that clouds the guild's motives.

 

After speaking with several members of the Adventurers' Guild, it would appear that a fellow by the name Haermaga is behind the festival's return. In fact, my sources say he has donated a fair deal of his own coin for its funding. But why go to such great lengths to rekindle the flames of a festival that has long since lived out its purpose? I asked this very question to a representative of the Adventurers' Guild.

As you may know, the Moonfire Faire was first held five years ago as an initiative to drive out an incursion of bombards─fiery fiends that meant to reduce the realm to ash. Although the foul creatures have not returned, the Moonfire Faire was, in a manner of speaking, always meant to be a joyous occassion. We feel that is reason enough to hold a summer celebration. A host of events are planned for this year's fair, giving townsfolk the opportunity to better acquaint themselves with the guild, and see what it truly means to be an adventurer. There is more to our work than battle and spoils, and hopefully the people of Eorzea will come to understand that.

They claim this to be an appeal to the masses, but the allure of the faire in previous years was just as sweet. Lacking the impending threat of fiery oblivion, we can only wait and see what surprises await in this year's Moonfire Faire.

[Dogberry]

Sunbreeze Shuffle is the official song of summer for me.

[Clover]

I can't wait to get a hold of those yukatas (*-*)

I love this kind of event. Cities always get filled with a lot of people and it really feels like some sort of a festival.

[Melkire]

Blackflame will be mine.

[Oscare]

I can't wait! Oscare will look hella sexy in blackflame.

[Dogberry]

WHAT?! I CAN'T HAVE PINKFLY?! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE SE! AN OUTRAGE! YOU CAN'T CUT FUNDING ON TRANSPORTATION YOU WILL REGRET THIS!

[Crisiet]

Gimme all that fashion. I am ready.

[Lillith Cale]

I am sooo excited for this! I've been wanting that Yukata since I started playing back in February

 

I hope what they are saying on the official forums is correct in that what they are showing as available to buy from the vendor is just a generalized example and that they actually will have all the color variations of Yukata to choose from.

[D'ly]

I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!

[Xenedra]

This dance plz

[Dat Oni]

This dance plz

 

That's...Literally the dance they're adding.

[Clover]

This dance plz

Hahahahahahaha! This video would have won the video contest. Several times, even.

 

It's the first time I see that dance. I don't tend to unlock or use dances myself, but it'll be fun to see the whole Eorzea using it.

[Xenedra]

This dance plz

 

That's...Literally the dance they're adding.

 

Yes, it most likely will be, but they called it the firedance then.

[Dat Oni]

This dance plz

 

That's...Literally the dance they're adding.

 

Yes, it most likely will be, but they called it the firedance then.

 

It's a shame the financial clusterfucks and other issues surrounding 1.0 kept me from becoming a Legacy player. I would have had a fancy chocobo and a nice yukata.

 

Better late than never, I suppose.

[TheWizard]

I wonder how many people will be collecting the yukatas for rping as a Doman....

[Kellach Woods]

WHAT?! I CAN'T HAVE PINKFLY?! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE SE! AN OUTRAGE! YOU CAN'T CUT FUNDING ON TRANSPORTATION YOU WILL REGRET THIS!

YOU WILL REGRET THIS INDEED!
