The Doll Festival



Do you like dolls? Do you like diamond-shaped sweet rice cakes? Do you like being mysteriously transformed into a little girl? Well, then we have the event for you! The three nations of Bastok, Windurst, and San d'Oria have broken out the peach trees and life-sized dioramas and turned up the festivity meter to 10, all in time for the legendary Doll Festival!

And what would a festival be without the meddling of those merry moogles down at the MHMU? Your cuddly friends have been working 25-hour days without overtime for the past three and a half weeks to prepare sweet snacks just for you and the other one million adventurers out there.

But that's not all! Your other friends here in Topics-land have also been planning an exciting contest for all the aspiring artists in Vana'diel.

The Doll Festival is a solemn Far Eastern celebration in which displays of dolls and sweets are used to congratulate young girls on their growth.

The festival is supposed to be for young girls only, but the M.H.M.U. (Mog House Management Union) has been working with Windurst's Rhinostery to develop a special variety of rice cake that turns anyone who eats one into a little girl, ultimately allowing boys and girls of all sizes to participate in the festivities!

To make sure that everyone receives a piece of the magical cake, moogles down at the MHMU have been stuffing envelopes full of the tasty treats and sending them to every single Mog House in Vana'diel.


*Rice cakes should start arriving in Mog House delivery boxes sometime on or around February 23. Not everyone's will arrive at the same time.
*Only characters starting their adventures before 2/18/2007 will receive a cake.
*If you return your cake to the MHMU, you will not be able to receive another one.

You know last yr they statred the doll fest and what not and it seems that each year they have changed up and added slightly diffrent things to each eventr they put out. Just an observation but they might just be waiting to put more into this festavle.
Then again this could be something to give something to people of other countrys then just the diffrent things they have.
If you ever notice the diffrent events codrdenate alot with diffrent holladays from around the world. like the xmas thing a holladay celabrated around the world. but then they have one that is like the holladay that is mainly (not excartly) an u.s.a holladay of thanksgiving in november whitch I do know other countrys celabrate it but I also can point out that only the U.S.A. uses the pilgroims that they depict some of the tarutarus as in there login display on the game. I am only pointing this out as the doll festavle could be a represntaton of some other countrys celebration for younge ladys like the harvest festavle is for the u.s.a. is in november. Who knows what SE is thin king.

I think its good that this even you dont really have to do naything to enjoy it. Most of the time im too busy to fully enjoy these events, like the velentines day one, i didnt even paticipate with.

This is a great idea to just give you fun things that u can enjoy and not have to do anything to get them.

Thumbs up from me!!!

We don't even do anything this event. They just hand us the prize, which isn't anything special, and that's it..

I wanna do something!

"Do you like dolls? Do you like diamond-shaped sweet rice cakes? Do you like being mysteriously transformed into a little girl? " -NO

I like kick-*** weapons, food that increases my status, and being transformed into cooling looking ****.

But I think it was creative when it was first introduced.
