When I heard that the Valentines and Little Ladies Day events were going to be combined this year, I let out an audible groan and shook my head. I understand it's an xpac year and that with COVID it's possible that the dev team has too much on their plate or the schedule would not allow for two full events, but PLEASE in the future, let them be two separate events. I found the combination of stories with helping the young girl and having the Songbirds together was jarring. Valentines Day and White Day are related, but very different holidays. I like celebrating Valentines Day first (I'm American so I'm more familiar with this holiday) and getting into the spirit of it with the hearts and all the reds and pinks, plus the cute love based storyline. Then it's like a special present to get an event a month later in the form of Little Ladies Day where you get to see lots of sakura trees and decorations, a storyline centered around making a lady feel special or like a princess for a day. While these are related holidays in Japan, they are very different in feel for non-Japanese audiences and are executed so differently in Eorzea. I believe each of them deserves their own time to shine a month apart as they have been in the past. Please SE, I beg of you, don't smash these holidays together again in the future. Let them each enjoy their own theme and limelight as a way to break things up while we wait for content patches. Thank you for the awesome game you make and I'm excited for Endwalker in the fall.
