Sunbreeze Festival Special Event

Hi everyone! My name is Mumor, a fresh new starlet who loves to dance and sing!I'd love to perform a pretty little number for you right now, but we'll have to take a rain check on the fun, because something terrible is about to happen. My manager-well, daddy-has intercepted super secret information on the evil demon king, Ullegore. Apparently, Ullegore is scheming to gate-crash this year's Sunbreeze Festival and ruin it for everyone. But don't you worry! I won't let anything like that happen...because your smiles of happiness are worth fighting for!

*The Sunbreeze Festival is scheduled to take place from 1:00 am on Friday, August 1 until 1:00 am on Monday, August 18.

Exciting News from 2008 Premier Site Summit

Allakhazam.com has exciting new information about Nyzul Isle weapons, released at the 2008 Premier Site Summit Friday at Square Enix headquarters in El Segundo, Calif.

A battlefield challenge will be added in the next version update as the final step to receive the Nzyul Isle relics. Also, the cost in Alexandrites to obtain the relic weapons will be reduced, and changes are planned to make collecting the currency easier.

Players will also be able to acquire new weaponskills with the relic weapons, and the new skills will be usable even without the relic weapon being equipped. However, the weaponskills will give players additional benefits if used with the relic weapons equipped. The Nyzul relic weapons are not designed to be the most hard-hitting weapons in the game; rather, they are meant to enhance the defining traits of each job.

Premier sites were given a chance to view seven of these amazing new weaponskills. The best part is, adventurers too busy to get a relic weapon will still be able to obtain the weaponskills through other means.

More details about the relic weapons will be released Sunday, with full summit details to follow soon after, including first-hand accounts of the red mage sword Murgleis -- tested for the very first time by Allakhazam’s own Pikko and Thayos! Be sure to tune in to the Premier Site Summit discussion on The Mog House this Sunday from 5 - 7 PM. See additional highlights on our forums and discuss with other community members!

Celestial Nights

From Playonline.com



Celestial Nights—the romantic event based on the timeless tale of love and tragedy between Prince Yahiko and Princess Amdina—will soon be here, kupo! For this year's celebration, in each of the three nations, two actors are scheduled to promenade in their respective locales as the prince and princess on a royal rendezvous. Be sure to join us in this event of unrivaled grandeur, and—

... Who on Vana'diel am I trying to fool, kupo? None of the actors have been able to concentrate, and the rehearsals have been a right mess. If we don't do something about it, and soon, the event is doomed to fail. But...what could a single moogle like me possibly do...kupo?

What manner of ill fortune has befallen the Mog House Management Union (MHMU) this time?
