Summerfest!

Spring is over and it's time for Summerfest! At this time every year, adventurers gather in the towns to kick back and take a break from their usual daily activities. It is a time for players from all nations to come together and swap tales of their exploits. However, night is when Summerfest really heats up. The ensuing darkness sets the stage for a grand display of fireworks in the sky and on the ground. Countless bazaars line the streets and music fills the air. Adventurers of all shapes and sizes strike up conversations with complete strangers when not dancing hand in hand with their companions. The Moogles, as well, have devoted themselves to making this summer a memorable one. Participate in their events to receive wonderful items that will make your Summerfest even more exciting! Summerfest will be held from Jul. 23 to Aug. 8th, 2004. Experience the sights and sounds of this summer extravaganza in the following locations (from 19:00 to 6:00, Vana'diel time): West Ronfaure East Ronfaure Northern San d'Oria Port San d'Oria North Gustaberg South Gustaberg Bastok Mines Bastok Markets East Sarutabaruta West Sarutabaruta Windurst Waters Windurst Walls Windurst Woods Western Altepa Desert Eastern Altepa Desert Rabao Fireworks will be sold in these areas: West Ronfaure (G-8) South Gustaberg (J-7) East Sarutabaruta (J-7) Rabao (G-9) And finally, the Summerfest Moogles will be waiting for you in: Southern San d'Oria (J-9) Northern San d'Oria (D-8) Bastok Mines (I-9) Bastok Markets (G-8) Windurst Woods (K-10) Windurst Waters (F-5)

I have two good summerfest screenshots of myself, one sitting in the Onoko Yukata under a tree, and one with a summer fan in hand. E-mail me @ xboxmaniac50@yahoo.com if you would like to see them.
'Tis Begun

Ugh, it started, and man, it's hectic. This was just the first day. What'cha gotta do is get party with one other person that is a different race than you, and talk to Moogle. He will give you invisible and sneak (which don't wear off, unlike the spells or items, they can only be debuffed), a glyph to get you back to the city, and sends you to a dungeon. There is also a level restriction... you get knocked down to level 1. You have to find your way through the dungeon and find the "GoalPoint" with your partner. Then you get an item and a key item, which is a drawing of your parter's scared face. Trade the regular item with your parter, and trade that to Moogle, and he'll give you a Yukata (which is like a Kimono. Male characters get blue ones, while female characters get pink ones.) Then you can do the same thing again, but four more times, and get the Lord's/Lady's Yukata, which has one more Def, and adds +2(?) to goldfish scooping skills. Yes, that's right, goldfish scooping. Apparently there is going to be an event in which you have to... well, scoop goldfish, and this Yukata gives you an edge (this is what I gathered from listening around the Moogle, it may or may not be true, but it makes sense.) There is supposedly a "Fan" that you can get, but I haven't seen one, nor do I know what you get if you trade in all 7 different items. This is all I know, but DAMN it's hard to get parties with all of the different races/genders because they're all stingy and won't party with you if you're of a race/gender combo that they've already partied with. Also, there is no level requirement to do this; there were several people with "?"'s by their names that were dressed in these Yukatas. More events are sure to be added in the comming days. Have a fun Summerfest!!
And then....?

Hmm, I got the Lady's Yukata a few hours ago, but now I am curious as to where this goldfishing game is going to take place. Does anyone have any idea?

I am also looking for the vendor who has the Fans and the wierd goldfish items...

FYI during the day there is a fireworks vendor from the Tenshodo in port Sandy at J-9 down the path to the magic shop, those new fireworks are cool :)
RE: Hmm I got it too
# Jul 23 2004 at 6:53 PM Rating: Decent
You can get fans from the Moogles. Just do their annoying dungeon trolling quests and turn in your item afterwards for more cool stuff. (I've received 13 summer fans for it, and I've heard you can get chocobo tickets, too.)
FIREWORKS???

I really want to get pictures for this event to show to some of my friends who don't play, but I'm wondering how do you take a in game picture with the PS2 controller cause I don't have a key board. I do have the PC version but its so laggy its not really worth it.
RE: pics
# Jul 22 2004 at 9:20 AM Rating: Decent
to take a screenshot hit select, then R2 followed by R1, it could be the other way around, i can't remember for sure. but i know you have to hit select to clear screen of all menus and such.
Events
# Jul 20 2004 at 8:51 PM Rating: Decent
I think there will be some events outside the citys like booths and bazaars and if thats going to happen then SE will probably take out monsters in the areas it takes place. But I doubt they'd do it even though it would be cool to have a japanese type festival in West Rounfare
Nice!!

Goldfish
# Jul 20 2004 at 1:48 PM Rating: Decent
I wonder what the Omina and Onoko Yukata's will look like? Also I wonder how we'll be able to play that goldfish catching game? Cause if the Lord and Lady Yukata's improve catching skills its obvious they'll have that game.
About Friggen time I got some info...

I've been going nuts over this! I found out about these items nearly a month ago! I've been having bad dreams about missing out! Well, I'll be playing from July 23rd to Aug. 8th, NONSTOP, to get everything! Ahh, rare items, how I love thee...

BTW, all you people going on and on about beer. Grow up really. I'm 20 years old, and I don't need alcohol to have fun and enjoy myself, nobody else needs it either.
RE: About Friggen time I got some info...
# Jul 19 2004 at 8:53 PM Rating: Decent
I agree with you on everything if beer was added it be more of a joke item then a real one and at a festival like this, they'd me more likely to hand out Saki. And Rare Items I love thee too ^o^ I must have YUKATA!! I wonder if they will have a gold fish catching booth since the Lord and Lady Yukata improve gold fishing catching skills.
RE: About Friggen time I got some info...
# Jul 20 2004 at 12:31 PM Rating: Decent
they'd me more likely to hand out Saki.

Just a minor correction. It is spelled Sake, and is pronounced Sa-ke not Sa-Key.

And i love rare items too. I agree these Yukatas will be awesome, cant wait.
ok this is why there will never be beer in ffxi
# Jul 19 2004 at 1:16 PM Rating: Default
it might be hard for some to believe but there is a growing crowd of younger players. now when i say younger i dont mean those just below the legal drinking age i mean as in example, my nextdoor neighbor's kid at age of 6 is playing ffxi. sure people can use profanity and such, but really.. they are rude and i consider them to be scum. the closest you'll see to beer in ffxi is maybe rootbeer. lets face it people.. america is too politically correct to do such a thing.(yes i am an american i live in new jersey:P) our society , believe it or not, is too hush hush and sheltered for this to be allowed.


P.S. you can thank nacy regan, tipper gore, and their lapdogs for creating such a sheltered nation. I hope this elaborates on the subject of why beer isnt in the game. who knows maybe square will have the balls to oppose such things \(*^_^*)/
RE: ok this is why there will never be beer in ffxi
# Jul 24 2004 at 6:46 AM Rating: Decent
i agree. a 6 year old should not be playing FFxi. the boat load about NJ as well. do me a favore.. and speack for yourself ..i'm form NJ people here ( in my area) dont really care if a game has beer or "saki" in it or not.
RE: ok this is why there will never be beer in ffxi
# Jul 19 2004 at 2:01 PM Rating: Decent
well Square hq is over in Japan and they're the ones making all the updates and technical mumbo jumbo. And since Japan isn't as(how should I say this...)whiney as america when it comes to exposing kids to sex drugs and rock n roll they can do what ever they want. So in the words of Eric Cartmen "I'll Do what EVER I WANT!! So ***** you guys I'm going home!"
