Valentione's Day Is Coming! (02/02/2009)

Fighting for peace, justice, and a swelling moggie bank...
Charging headlong into the thick of danger without so much as a second thought for one's own safety...
Such is the arduous life of a dauntless adventurer of Vana'diel.

But love is a battlefield of a very different sort, and those who dare not, know not the uplifting glory that it brings. For thoughts left unspoken are like seeds left unplanted in preparation for the coming spring.

Love will bloom only if the feelings you harbor for that special someone are allowed to see the light of day. And what better time to set those feelings free than during the Valentione's Day event, when all adventurers are given the chance to transform into warriors of love?

Learn all about the juicy details here.

*This year's Valentione's Day event is scheduled to commence on Friday, February 6th, 2009 at 0:00am and run until Monday, February 16th, 2009 at 0:00am.
