SUMMERFEST THREAD

[Rocl]

It just started but I don't see any event info yet!

[Ziegus]

I hope we get some sort of decent item this year. Elvaan in a swimsuit is so weird to look at.

[Kaylia]

Is it the one with the music that make me wish I was deaf?

[Rocl]

Is it the one with the music that make me wish I was deaf?

Hey! It always raises moods in Dynamis-Tavnazia!

On farming runs we'll intentionally aggro a Diabolos NPC after getting time extensions so as to endure the slightly less-painful Christmas music.

[BRP]

It's Sunbreeze Festival, nigga.

[Posco]

I remember when i first heard that music years ago... rat-tat-ta-tat on so on... Insanity... and the fireworks annoyed me... At least it will be a redeeming feature of laggate, assuming they do not celebrate Summerfest :/

But, yes, I want me Swimsuit D: (Although id rather have a kimono )

[Rocl]

AH MAN IM HAVING SO MUCH FUN SCOOPING GOLDFISH AT 5 AM ITS SO SILLY

[Valacirca]

I like the music, makes me all nostalgic. ; ;

[Rocl]

Goldfish set!! 80 years of fortune!!!
Now to level up woodworking to make a tank

[Kaylia]

Tank + vegetable + ???? = goblin drink

Holy crap it's back??

Listen! Do you hear that? Those are the sweet sounds of the Sunbreeze Shuffle, a traditional dance piece from the Far East, kupo. It's said that when that tune starts, there isn't a soul who cannot keep his feet from dancing a merry jig. Just ask the Rakapopo dancers grooving all about the three nations, kupo!

Oooh! And what about the booms echoing in the night sky? The dazzling patterns created by the magic of light? Why, that would be the fireworks displays, put on by the nations' greatest alchemists, kupo. Every night, after dusk, watch as the heavens bloom in a thousand colors! It's enough to make even the hardest hearts soften.

What is that? Song, dance, and dazzling pyrotechnics aren't enough to get you in the mood for summer? Well then, what about scooping goldfish? Nothing is better to beat the heat than extirpating miniature aquans from hydrogen/oxygen-based pools all across Vana'diel, kupo!

Eh? The heat is still too much to bear, then how about a few chills to cool that spine of yours? If it's hair-raising excitement you're searching for, then you need look no further than the moogles' infamous "test of courage."

Grab a friend and hold her hand tight as you delve into some of the creepiest, crawliest dungeons in all of Vana'diel to retrieve a hidden relic and escape...alive!

This year's event is so frightening that there were several instances of moogles making early exits during the MHMU test runs! Oh, but we're sure you'll have nooo problem making it through, so why not sign up for the ride of your life...to hell! Mwahahahaha, kupo!

Now take off that heavy, sweaty, blood-stained armor, change into your yukata, and have some fun!

They didn't say what year.

On a side note, it'd be awesome if the Dynamis-Tavnazia summerfest music were accompanied by the fireworks, too.

Goldfish set!! 80 years of fortune!!!
Now to level up woodworking to make a tank :(

I've had a goldfish set sitting in my MH since they released them and I can't bring myself to get the skills leveled to do anything with it. Then I don't understand why I have no room for all my gear.

I guess it's not all bad, I can get a Fighting Fish Tank now instead.

Someone find out if we can teleport to the AU Beastman strongholds, that would be superfrickin win.

I hope so, anyone that still finds CN and Ranguemont terrifying is out of the loop.

[Budonez]

Needs more avoiding true-sight mobs.

[Rocl]

Well there is dialogue similar to the original test of mettle thing in Arrapago Reef/Halvung/Mamook. There's also GoalPoints in the NPCs soooooooooooooooooo one would figure

[riddaraan]

What I'd like to see is like that Tarutaru slaughter marathon, where Lv1 Tarus, naked, raced from a start to finish point. Except, I'd like to see this in some place with some real challenge. Like Uleguerand Range.

[Max™]

needs moar HELMing in Mamook/Halvung.
