Pitter-Pattering from Love (01/25/2013)
A lovely Valentione's Day to you, kupo!
Each year, we ask for the aid of crackerjack confectioners—
No, that's not right.
Give great gifts of succulent sweets—
No, that's not it either.
My brain is mashed to mush, kupo!
That's right!
Coquettish couples give grand gifts to express their enduring emotion for each other.
Some lovelorn lads and ladies even deliver delectable desserts to potential partners.
Were you aware that the amazing Atelloune, animal expert extraordinaire, has dutifully deduced that chocobos feel fondness just like people?
She is planning to present her probing research at a "collegiate conference."
What's a "collegiate"? A new snack, kupo?
Well, either way, Atelloune's dramatic discovery is going to make a magnificent splash for able adventurers! This Valentione's, I'll be busy as a bee!

Slithering into the New Year! (01/01/2013)
Time to shed that musky molt of old and slide smoothly into the New Year, kupo!
It is my sincerest aspiration that substantial stores of wealth and happiness will slither into your sanctuary this season, kupo.
"What's the meaning of all these serpentine sounds," you say? Well, according to the Far Eastern calendar, this is the year of the snake. In what's fast approaching a panzodiacal procession, this year's caricature creatures will wind their way through bog, brook, bay, and brume to bring fortune and fair tidings to adventurers all over Vana'diel.
Yet...can we seriously surmise that those offensive ophidians will perform their part perfectly and hence herald spring hither, kupo?
We'll just have to wait and see, won't we?
At any rate, enjoy the entertainment that these festivities provide, and have a happy New Year! Not everyone leads a lucky enough life to have the holidays pass without incident, kupo.
Read on for an absorbing account of a certain summoner's serpentine struggles.
