FF14 Starlight Celebration 2023 Event Details

InFinal Fantasy 14’s last 10 years, players haven’t actually gotten a tried-and-true Santa outfit. The Dream gear, Starlight Attire, and Starlight Robe came close, and players also got Reindeer, Snowman, and Choir outfits that fit the season as well. However, this year’s glamour will allow players to truly dress up as Saint Nick himself, and even dye it their favorite color.

While many are excited about collecting this charming cosmetic, others are disappointed at this year’s reward. Last year,Final Fantasy 14gave players an amazing reindeer mountmany enjoy using all year round. These fans find the Unorthodox Saint’s Attire to be uninspired in comparison, especially since they already have other Christmas-themed clothes.
