It’s hard to believe that we’re somehow already approaching March, but the event schedule ofFinal Fantasy XIVwaits for no man. Little Ladies’ Day, the annual march celebration of Spring and remembrance of the Lost Lady, is a timely reminder that seasons are changing.
This year, the event takes the name of “Heartfelt Melodies, Sun unto the Sky”, and is heralded as “something new” for the event. Whether this turns out to be true remains to be seen, but the Royal Senechal could have some surprises up his sleeve. Regardless, the event is set to begin on March 3 and will continue until March 17.
The event will, as it always does, begin in Ul’dah. The desert city-state will be decorated with pink blossoms, with a central stage appearing close to the Adventurer’s Guild. You’ll need to be at least level 15 to pick up the quest “A Princely Persona”.
Completing the event quest will reward players with something that has caused excitement within the community. The Senechal Prince’s Attire actually looks good on both genders, the boots haveheels, it’s fully dyeable with two dye slots, and it’s a comfortable mix between more traditional and modern styles.
I can foresee the individual pieces of this set becoming staples in many player’s glamours. I can already think of at least 10 outfits that can only be improved with those glorious heeled boots, and the jacket is just crying out for some dyeing experiments.
Other items from previous years, including a variety of Prismatic Shards, will be available to purchase from the Royal Handmaiden in Ul’dah during the event.
Last year’sLittle Ladies’ Day was combined with Hatching-tide, and it’s nice to see that the two different events have been separated again. If you missed out on last year’s event reward, the pink and flower-crown adorned Goobbue mount known as Peatie, then it will likely appear on theFFXIVOnline Store when this year’s Little Ladies’ Event goes live.
I’m interested to see whether the chosen artwork for this year’s event will be reflected in the event itself. I won’t go into too much detail for risk of spoilers, but it’s interesting to see Thancred in his A Realm Reborn clothes, and even more interesting to see Minfilia at all. Perhaps it’s just a nostalgic image, butFFXIVrarely ever does anything without a reason, so we’ll see if Thancred makes an appearance during the event.
