Ever since the launch of FFXIV 2.0 last
September, it seems as though the Squeenix team is bent on keeping us
consistently plastered to our screens, getting one event over with only to be
met with another and, as if that wasn't enough, the patches just keep on
coming. There’s never a dull moment in Eorzea!
*no endorsement has taken place in this post whatsoever*
The latest of such attractions happens to be
the brand-but-not-exactly-new annual Little Ladies’ Day, an event perhaps
familiar to some players. It seems to be the Eorzean equivalent to either Hinamatsuri (Ladies' Festival) or Hanami (Flower Festival) or a combination of both. Although, having seen different events in the game on Christmas and New Year's celebrations, it's quite possible this current event will focus on the "ladies" side and there will be another "floral" event soon enough. Either way, this was a most visually aesthetic event, with charming
cherry blossom trees adorning the streets of the three major cities and an air of elegance all around.
Whatwith the aforementioned frequency of
events and equally demanding life events I was only able to start fairly late
into the event so there’s very little need for an in-depth guide to the quests and
I’ll keep it simple. Going in for the first
quest in Old Gridania, I noticed the designated vendor had pretty much all
event items available from the start so it wasn't the gotta-get-em-all type of
event like the past Heavensturn celebration event where you went slaving away for
random never-again-worn horse heads.
What you do end up earning, however, is this extremely adorable dolled up little shrine-maiden-looking wind-up to add to your collection of kawaii minions.
And of course, like all previous events, it comes with an official screenshot contest, entries for which can be viewed here, BUT the prize will not be the same old dreaded Ahriman choker! Instead, it'll be a Mandragora choker...hah! So go get shutter-happy and snap some shots.
