Final Fantasy XIV starts up Valentione’s Day on February 2nd

Laugh all you want about Lisette de Valentione and her relentless focus on affection-based celebrations in Eorzea, but of all the Ishgardian houses in Final Fantasy XIV hers has adapted to the post-Dragonsong-War environment most naturally. No more dragons to fight? That’s fine, they’ll just travel Eorzea spreading love and sentimentality, same as ever. In fact, Lisette is due to arrive again on February 2nd, and she’s bringing with her new rewards as well as some old favorites.

Players can earn a new emote, a new minion, a new Orchestrion track, and a new vase by taking part in the year’s festivities. The event will also supposedly feature certain previous rewards to be purchased in-game, although details are not provided. Still, you’ll be able to find out for yourself on Tuesday; the event runs until Wednesday, February 15th, so you’ll have plenty of time to earn whatever rewards you want as you celebrate the meaning behind Valentione’s Day. (Which, like most holidays, appears to have an underlying meaning of getting cosmetic items.)
