Celestial Nights 2009: Love Lights the World (06/19/2009)

[Guppy]

Celestial Nights—the event honoring an age-old tale of a love eternal and true—will soon be here! In a reprise of last year's festivities, the royal couple of legend, Princess Amdina and Prince Yahiko, will return to the streets of all three nations. Come one, come all, to bear witness as a love thought forever lost is reclaimed!

Read on for the heart-rending details.

*The Celestial Nights event is scheduled to commence on Friday, June 26 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) and conclude on Wednesday, July 8 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT).

Next holiday event, coming up. Haven't heard of any items being data-mined, so I'm guessing no new prizes.

Whats the point of posting if youre not going to post the whole thing? And youre probably wrong about no new prizes as theyll have to do an update to put the new event in.

Once upon a time, the prince and princess of two rival nations on opposing sides of a great river fell in forbidden love. Neither the enmity between their countries nor the vast body of water that separated them could extinguish their feelings for one other. But their story would end prematurely, and in tragedy.

Thus was born the tradition of Celestial Nights—a time when the people of Vana'diel come together in the shared hope of rejoining the royal couple in their celestial realm.

Under the auspices of the Mog House Management Union (MHMU), the event has matured to become a perennial favorite among the citizens. But much to the moogles' dismay, the standing ovations scheduled for last year's event did not come to pass as anticipated. What was intended to be rivulets of tears streaming down the faces of toughened critics turned into a deluge of derision-laden disdain. Consequently, moogle reputation for competence in the field of entertainment production plummeted to a historic low.

The fault lies neither with the script nor stage direction, but the flawed casting process...or so the organizers claim. Determined to make up for last year's humiliating outcome, the MHMU has sanctioned the running of another open-air theater event in the same vein as the last.

How will this bold second attempt be received by critics and the public?
Will it avenge the failures of the past and restore critical acclaim to mooglekind?
Or will it prove to be a commercial flop, as most sequels are wont to do?
As has become tradition, the MHMU is yet again relying on the kindness of adventurers to see it through this latest of darkest hours!

Actually wrong, events like "Blazing Buffaloes" had a small update 1-2 nights before the actual event to update with the newer items.

"Aldebaran Horn" wasn't even in the game before that patch, only the costume belt.

You guys are missing the big picture here! Once this crap is out of the way we can welcome the sunbreeze festival back!

Whats funny to me is that no one wanted to post about this when it was announced, its 10:48AM EST now lol. Stuff normally gets posted right when the news breaks.
