August means FESTIVAL!
I still think of it as Summerfest! It hasn't been Summerfest since 2004! They're calling it Sunbreeze, and I have long since stopped bothering to correct myself. I like the name "Summerfest" better, anyway.
WE GET NEW OUTFITS THIS YEAR! For the most ridiculous event ever. Clapping at trees wandering about town or whatever we were doing that Christmas was ridiculous, but helping the "Fantastic Fraulein" dance the "physical manifestation of darkness itself" to death with catch phrases and attack names that I really honestly think they must have pulled from Sailor Moon (Neo Crystal Jig? One of them hits the guy with a giant heart)...? Anyway, the new outfits are blue, and they're cute (though I'm not sure if I prefer them to the swimsuits from - two? and - three years ago), and once you've picked both halves of it up, you can freely teleport between the three cities and play ridiculous mini-games!
Catching baby chocobos wins for the cuteness factor (omg. Baby chocobos!), but the San d'Orian one is easiest, once you actually learn how to spot the differences. Bastok turns us all into sharp-shooters, and the rangers wonder why they can't aim that well during actual combat situations. And for winning the mini-games on hard mode (which they offer once you get your outfit), they not only give you junk food (cotton candy, melon snowcones, and kabobs), but a balloon, as well! Once you collect all three different balloons, you can talk to the Moogle again and get the +1 outfit, which lets you teleport to Purgonorgo Island. CLAMMING AND BEACH PARTIES, WOOT. (Oddly, though, you cannot play hard mode or teleport between the cities wearing the HQ outfit. It has to be the original one, even though they look identical.)
Though they take away your balloons. BUT THEY LET YOU GET NEW ONES. YAAAY! I AM SIX YEARS OLD.
And supposedly they've added more varieties of fish to the goldfish scooping, so I'll be hitting Knightswell out in Ronfaure before this is over with. Also, you can get fireworks by helping Mumor dance Ullegore to death once you've earned your outfit.
MAN. I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR IN VANA'DIEL.
