Musings of a Malcontent Samurai (04/20/2010)

The sun shines down gently from serene azure skies. A balmy breeze blows over the verdant plains. Ah, spring in Vana'diel, kupo!

What stirs the soul of an adventure-loving moogle even more than this sublime season, however, is the rousing revelry of that timeless Far Eastern tradition known as the Feast of Swords!

But alas, misfortune is ever a moogle's lot! A band of odious outlaws has once again absconded with the stunning suit of armor with which our Far Eastern friends have furnished us for the occasion, and it's up to you, brave adventurer, to set things straight, kupo.

What?s that? Why, yes, there are those skeptical sorts who would suspect us moogles of having a hand in these high jinks, but we implore you! Pay no heed to their mutterings!

Schedule:
The Feast of Swords will come whirling into the three nations at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) on Tuesday, April 27, 2010, and return to its sheath on Tuesday, May 11 at the same hour.
