Valentione's Day!

It's here! It's here! The day we've all been waiting for is finally here, kupo! What day is that, you ask? Why, Valentione's Day, of course! With either cries of gratitude or whispers of hidden love, now's the time for you to step up and open your heart! And what a better way to say "I love you" than with a one-of-a-kind present crafted with your own two hands, kupo? Huh? You're not sure what would make the perfect gift? Well, don't fret, because the Moogles of the Mog House Management Union (MHMU) recently gathered and decided we'd do our best to help our masters out, kupo! Soon, we'll be sending a special crystal to the delivery box of every adventurer in Vana'diel. By using this crystal during synthesis, you'll be able to carve your name right into the finished product, kupo! Once you've done that, all that's left is for you to take your gift to that "special someone," and let your heart do the rest, kupo! About items sent from the Mog House Management Union (MHMU) - The moogles are sending a special crystal to each adventurer. It may take time for the special crystals to arrive, so please be patient. - The Mog House Management Union (MHMU) will send special crystals only to characters created before Feb 4 2005.

Well, they should have gone with their first plan

the first plan SE appears to have had (going by the extras from the game and the tribune, not the articles on POL) for this event is this:
give out only four types of crystals which have level 0-4 synths that are signable
terra
inferno
cyclone
aurora

They had lists of synths for these, if yuo got one and are complaining, check the article

the article did not mention glacier and twilight crystals and therefore I must assume that their inclusion was a mistake on the part of SE and they screwed those that got them over royally

However, the version of the event that DID NOT happen would have sucked far less...

Next time SE, stick to your first plan, I don't like your weak-minded attempts to make an event better at the last minute by ******** it up without consideration.
V-day!

As a low level crafter, I enjoyed this. I got an Inferno crystal and made a ring for my girlfriend that had my character's name on it. Sure, it's a wussy ring that will take away one MP to get one HP (and she's a mage at that lol), but that's not the point. She appreciated it and says that she'll wear it when she plays.

She got a Terra crystal though, so we'll have to wait and see as to what she'll make me :-)

okay.... all you guys have been doen is whining about getting free stuff... shame on you. All I want to know is... if this crystal isn't used before valentines day is over.. will it still work? Cause I'm trying to build up my smithing as much as possible before I use it.
Great event

anyone know if they can be traded. I have no use for it, but I dont want to waste it, so I will give it to anyone who can use the crystal I got. Makes more sense then crying because you got something FOR FREE, even if you can not use it. If you can trade them or send them, if anyone on titan can use a cyclone crystal let me know. I will send it to them.

A four year old can and has found ways to improve upon the event (suggestions from people of all ages have been -- make a non-element crystal, send a crystal for the person's highest craft skill, let food be signed by event crystals).

To make some things clear...
Twilight crystals only sign the level 99ish synths and rare ex synths (thus negating the idea of giving the item).

Glacier will not sign food...which is bad because that's about all you can make with them. A LSmate got pissed off that she couldn't sign her butter with the event crystal (she tried to make good of it by signing butter, but it screwed her over because you can't sign food).

I took my Twilight crystal and threw it at moogle...

my suggestion if you got a useless crystal: hit the return button in your delivery box, you can't sell them, you can't use them, let moogle know his event was a flop

People need to stop crying about this. Get over it. You could of got nothing. I got a torrent crystal, and as a goldsmither I have no use for it. I agree that it is a pointless event, but it's still better than having nothing. Some people got what they wanted, others didn't. Grow up, stop crying because you can't have your way, and move on.

People should stop complaining. Its not every FRIGGIN DAY that you get a free Crystal that allows you to signature your items. Though they should have made a Tetra Crystal which allows you to select the element needed and synth et cetera. But I found this event cool. Even though I accidently thought you could synth Tsurara and sign it <.<;;; But it was still cool so stop being a bunch o' snobs and enjoy the game.

People always want something for free. You know, the coolest part about this game is that they constantly update. I am freaking amazed at it. They dont have to DO anything at all you ungrateful greedy punks.

This game kicks butt over anything ive ever played.

Why do people complain so much? The crystal was free, and the whole idea of making something personalized was just a suggestion. Even if you can't use the crystal you don't have to take it out of your delivery box, and you certainly don't have to cuss out the people who allow you to exist in this world. Geez, remind me never to give anything to people for free. I rather liked their story of Valentione's day, and using a glacier crystal on a piece of signed food sounds stupid, so I'll just do something else. Originality sounds much more romantic, don't you think?

I agree with elkofdeath. There are to many people complaining. I got 2 torrent crystals for the 2 characters I have. Even though I don't have a craft skill high enough to use them on yet, I am not complaining. I will just put them away until I can use them. Remember people this is only a game, and not real life.

I got lucky while my my mule was not so lucky lol ^^. I got a glacier Crystal *Eh, frozen foods and such for me to make o.o* while my mule got the dreaded twilight crystals *lol ^^*.

What they SHOULD'VE done is make like a "Valentine Crystal" where it slaps on the name and says "happy valentines". Also it should be used for any ele crystal. And uh... yeah...

Man... i was suspecting a crystal like that so i could see people fail to synth on that crystal and laugh at them in a sadistical way...

I dunno... at least i would find that part funny ^^...

/sigh

What were you thinking? There should be a moogle or something where you can exchange the useless *cough*twilight*cough* crytals for something that everyone might be able to make some kind of low level synth with. *cough*inferno,cyclone*cough*

Ahem, sorry I seem to have caught a cold.

Everyone I know got Twilight crystals...yeah...that's about the least useful thing for goldsmiths, smiths, and chefs...maybe we can sign some sheep leather...because nothing says I love you like rotted animal skins

SE really needs to rethink this event. It honestly sucks.
Hehe
