Valentione (01/27/2015)

Valentione's Day, that decidedly delightful day of doting, has descended to dazzle us once again.

It is a day for reveling in the rapturous rhapsody of romantic rapport. As such, partners often prefer to preserve the precious precepts of their pairing in the form of a present.

Determined to help these people share their magical memories of mirth with that special someone, the MHMU has crafted curious containing couples' names, kupo!

Wouldn't you like to leave a lasting reminder of the linkage between your lives?

This year, the M.H.M.U. has graciously gleaned new gifts for Valentione's Day, and is anxiously waiting to assist in these admirable assertions of affection, kupo!

Take the plunge and pursue this personalized present by procuring a pairing with that precious person you find most dear!

Indeed, here follows the tale of a young Elvaan girl in the far reaches of San d'Oria who so desired a gift inscribed with the name of the one she fancied that she stopped at nothing to obtain it.

Happy New Year! – As time goes by – (01/01/2015)

Dear players,

Happy new year!

We've prepared the yearly new year's procession as always-but we've come a full Chinese calendar in Vana'diel, so we're back to sheep once more. As an aside, I was born in the year of the sheep-but which exact year is left as an exercise for the reader.

When we first created the New Year's event, we never imagined that it would ever come full circle, and thus the festivities are especially moving for me.

Vana'diel has come so far thanks to the tremendous support of its adventurers, and we remain grateful for your dedicated service.

The development and operations teams remain as firmly committed as ever to making Vana'diel a fun place for people to play their hearts out, whether in shorter or longer bursts.

With warmest wishes,

Akihiko Matsui
