Final Fantasy XI Celebrates Summer With The Return Of The Sunbreeze Festival

Final Fantasy XI is bringing back the annual Sunbreeze Festival next month to celebrate summer and to commemorate the various threats that have successfully been vanquished by the brave warriors of Vana’diel. During the event, players will have the chance to earn various rewards by participating in Mumor and Uka’s Superheroine Stage Show. They can also enjoy nightly music and fireworks at several locations across various regions across Vana’diel.

“Only with your spirited show of support can Mighty Maidens Mumor and Uka hope to prevail in their battle against evil! [. . .] Cheer on Mumor and synchronize your dancing with her as a special means of participating in her wonderful event. Share your stories of success with one of the aforementioned moogles, who will then reward you with various prizes depending on how well you've done.”

Like previous iterations of the event, players can also join Mumor’s mysterious after party and participate in several mini-games to score additional rewards. More challenging versions of the mini-games are also available for players who’ve successfully completed the Superheroine Stage Show quest.

“Remember that outfit you can earn from assisting Mumor in the Superheroine Show? Put it to good use by wearing it before talking to the minigame stall staff, and they'll let you participate in a souped-up version of the respective event. Of course, the difficulty level is increased, so coming away with a prize might be a tad more vexing, but you can handle it, right? Your reward for undergoing such trials and tribulations and walking away unscathed will be higher quality versions of the regular spoils! Come try your luck!”

Mumor, Uka, and either Bashraf, Foudeel, or Wahboud will also be selling a variety of items during the event.

The Sunbreeze Festival kicks off on August 1 and will run until August 31. Details can be found on the Final Fantasy XI official site.
