The Sunbreeze Festival

The days just keep getting hotter and hotter! But according to our sources in the Mog House Management Union (M.H.M.U.), the officials from each nation have decided to hold another festival to beat the heat! Yes, the Sunbreeze Festival is back with its upbeat music and dancing to bring cool breezes down from the heavens to Vana'diel.

The rumor is out, and the nations are getting into the festive mood. Volunteers from various shops and guilds have gathered to create town decorations and fireworks for the festival, and the moogles are out searching the nations of Vana'diel for Rakapopo Dancers. The goldfish scooping merchants are also hard at work mass-producing super scoops that break under the weight of particularly jumpy fish.

And of course, the master alchemist Azima is hard at work on-you guessed it-Azimuth Circle II! Once again, adventurers will need to team up and maintain close communication in order to find a specific target. It should be easy with good teamwork, but this time the event will be held outside of town, so you will have to keep a lookout for monsters as well!

Azima claims that she decided to hold the event outdoors this year to add an extra dimension of excitement. So with your heart racing at the end of the day, you can don a yukata together and have an even greater appreciation for the beautiful sight of fireworks.

Nights filled with music, dancing, fireworks, and games... Be sure not to miss this year's Sunbreeze Festival!

We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

The new items for this event:

Otoko Yukata, Rare/Ex Male Only, Def 1, Dispense: Muteppo

Onago Yukata, Rare/Ex Female Only, Def 1, Dispense: Muteppo

Otokogimi Yukata, Rare/Ex Male Only, Def 2, Dispense: Datechochin

Onnagimi Yukata, Rare/Ex Female Only, Def 2, Dispense: Datechochin

Now just what are the Muteppo and Datechochin?

Somepage lists them as Fireworks from the Far East.

Babelfish translates 伊達提灯 ( Datechochin ) as "the Date Paper Lantern" and 無鉄砲 (Muteppo) is translated as "recklessness."

What they look like I have no idea.

Ohh either way sounds fun! I would imagine they would end up being on the list of event gear you can store, so I will surely be trying for this new lil' piece of gear
I use my holiday hat to dispence cookies all the time (being a mage, they are handy & you can't beat FREE )
