Fujito Message: http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics/ff11us/detail/21086/detail.html
Event Link: https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/New_Year_2024
Reminder that Chacharoon is in Ru'Lude for one week with the usual goods. More info in the link above. The little Spyro dragon might do something. Last year, the rabbits next to Chacharoon turned into a big one during full moon. We were able to trade carrots to it for the large white tail item for the costume.
They did not add (probably forgot to) last years furnishing Kagami Mochi to the moogles.
The new Macana sword might come from the roaming dragons.
New Year 2024 Event
New Year 2024 event
It might be nothing new but the whole event is worth it for this:
[+]
Didn't you have to trade X gil to Chacharoon to get a sack which, once used, gave you a chance for stuff?
You can get a silver voucher by trading him 10k+ once per rl day. the pouch he gives you as a result can be traded to another player and opened to grant the same amount you traded.
Macana looks like a reskinned Thibron
Found a Dragatama NPC in Qufim Island and was trading it junk items and gil till it gave me it.
Sometimes also gives you New Years Gifts and random buffs.

As long as there's 10,000 bots it's not gonna so don't get your hopes up.
Despite being an objectively worst year the active characters just wouldn't go below 65k

5k will get you the key
You should include buying the two items he has when you talk to him, too. Once you buy the first, the menu will say (Done for today.) by the items as if you can only pick one, but you can get both each day.

Fixed. What does buying both items get you?

The Chacharoon's Bag gives you a random amount of beits, boulders, or plutons. You can also get some s. astrals, or even an m. astral.
The Susuroon's Gift gives you random escutcheon spheres.

BG says 10 possible, but I just got 15 s. astrals. Only ever seen a single m. astral though.

Reading Fujito's message genuinely annoyed me. Can we really even call him a FFXI "producer" if they only real thing we're getting is a Japan-only dramatic reading? ***, when the hell are they going to address the retargeting system like the mentioned in that AMA years ago?

Me too. And calling his 7-8 months as Director "smooth", made me laugh out loud. I understand he's working with zero resources and probably has his hands and budget tied ...but jeez, at least acknowledge that non-JP players exist? Maybe? :/

In some ways, paying a FFXI sub is putting yourself in an abusive relationship.
SE will every now and again throw you a bone, and routinely promises to be 'better'. But alas, it never happens.

Since 2003, only dropped my sub from late 2019 to late 2020.
I guess we non-JPs got included in that, "all adventurers" quip, but that makes me feel as valued as being a crowdfund backer.
(Hint: Not at all)

I got a Macana sword from the Dragatama glowing circle + 3 Wyverns that were wandering Valkurm Dunes. I traded an Earth Crystal to it and it gave me a Macana sword. 1/1. Yay.

I don't know why you can't just accept they're okay to put this game on ice and keep it running, and that's it. They are straight up telling you that they aren't about to do jack ***for the game in terms of content this year, and you're STILL clinging to the belief of "hope" that they do something if they see sub numbers drop? That is the definition of down bad.
Stuff like Peach Power fight are just fun additions they don't promise, but implement as one offs on very rare occasions. Them telling you that 2024 is just going to be maintenance mode is them setting your expectations for nothing more.
[+]
Yeah if you're expecting to ever use that Prime Weapon on anything new, just don't.
That means in the far future, MAYBE you'll see something new. Vana'Bout is meant to buy time, in the meantime keep running around doing daily/monthly tasks so you feel like you did something to justify that sub.
If the game is acceptable right now, then you're good. But you're in for a long wait if it's not.

Fujito's statement reads more like something given to investors than customers....guess that makes sense with the mood of SE being that no one games just for fun- clearly the future they want is where one just spends extra money on extra stuff "related" to a game, rather than spending resources on that game itself.
I'm flat out offended by the level of "Yes Man" in Fujito. Will I stop playing because of it? No- but it does make me evaluate current personal goals I have in the game and realizing that once these are met I don't see myself encouraging such an attitude with continued support.

oh completely agree Fujito just happens to be the fall man sent in to dismantle a great thing- its not his choice, he's just really good at saying "Yes, Sir".
