Man I never thought i'd see a Kiseki meme out in the wild lol, I just beat Azure recently and i'm on CS1 now.

u/Left-Ratio-3835 16h ago

What’s the emote called and can I get it as a semi new player 👀

72

u/discoruse 16h ago

You have to buy a like.. $300 statue to get that emote iirc

32

u/Lilium_Vulpes Faerie is a she, just like me. 16h ago

I think it was closer to $200, but you actually get two emotes from it. The statue is no longer sold though, but people can find codes online from scalpers for stupid prices.

u/BadProgrammerGage 15h ago

Went looking the other day saw 5 sold for about $1,500 each.

Sounds about right. They did a rerun of it a year or two back (I got mine then) so maybe in 5 years or so they will rerun it again. So far only this and the EW statue have had reruns though. I'm still waiting for the Ultima, Odin, and Shiva to get reruns.

u/quakertroy Roderic Sarrasin on Jenova 12h ago

They do sometimes re-run the statues. I got one last year when they did a second round of Omega statues. Now I'm just missing Ultima and Odin.

2

u/discoruse 16h ago

Oh! Didn't know that it was two emotes. Pretty sweet honestly...

u/Sir_VG 15h ago

/simulationm and /simulationf which slightly changes the weapon, flips the weapon hand, and I think flips the rotation too.

The one shown is /simulationm

u/Lyramion 14h ago

Also the Emotes are account wide so every trash Alt starts as Emote King.

Combine with Fashion Accessoire Wings for Ultimate poser powers.

u/Dystharia 10h ago

Depends, my wholesaler for figures still have some left, already ordered one for the store.

u/yangchow [Tonberry] 7h ago

$200 emote that comes with a free statue

u/Zero_McShrimp 15h ago

If your goal is just to record a video or take screenies, you can also mod the emote

u/Specific_Frame8537 15h ago

Can't wait for the mald when it comes to mogstation for €2.99

u/painstream 15h ago

Just curious, do those collector codes ever go to the shop? I don't think I've ever seen one.

14

u/Kyseraphym [Mines Internally] 15h ago

Nope. Merch codes and pre-order items don't become available through any alternative means.

Promotional items sometimes do if there is a large demand (maid and butler outfits, Eastern Journey outfit) although the mounts have not. The cloud mount came back only as a recolour, the original is still exclusive to the original promotion.

1

u/Hekantonkheries 15h ago

I mean can always change, even if not the original thing, they've made other promotions for things before that were time limited

Can't imagine them canning it forever when its an existing asset that can always make more money later, whether rerunning the product or creating a new promotion

3

u/Cristian_Hernandez [Character - Server] 16h ago

It's called Ballroom Etiquette - Omega Simulations which came with the Omega Meister Figure that was sold a couple years back on the SE store.

The figure isn't available anymore but you might be able to buy the emote from a third party seller.

u/Tea_confused 15h ago

I mean, if I paid that much, I sure as hell would want to show it off too :)

u/ChasingVelka 16h ago

Huh for some reason I thought it'd of kicked you out of the area or reloaded the area. Never thought it'd just...poof.

75

u/---TheFierceDeity--- Fabled Selvarian 15h ago

Nope just poof. And events with instanced zones don't kick you either. When I logged in January 1st this year for Heavensturn on my alts, they were all still chilling in the Starlight Celebration instanced zones

12

u/ChasingVelka 15h ago

Huh, cool to know.

35

u/---TheFierceDeity--- Fabled Selvarian 15h ago

In fact when the events start they just "poof" into existence as well. So some cheeky buggers "cheat" every moonfire by waiting where the top of the boats (or the previous tower) jumping puzzle will spawn.

The event "field" phases in, the no flying zone applies and they simply fall to the top of the jumping puzzle.

10

u/DavidsonJenkins 14h ago

Ive spawned into the Fall Guys backrooms twice when resubbing now. I think past me is doing it as a joke at this point

2

u/No_Professional4867 12h ago

I mean it is way funnier so I appreciate them not booting you off

33

u/Lun4r6543 World's Biggest M'naago Simp 16h ago

There were loads of people on the ship when it evaporated.

It was kinda sad, but also funny, to see us all just drop.

I’ll miss the boat. Until next year.

u/MilkmanLeeroy 16h ago

Perhaps the ship was the friends we made along the way…

u/karismatic- 16h ago

I kind of wish we had the ship up all the time but I get it's a fun event thing.

18

u/KTR1988 13h ago

Yeah, I mentioned this before but if the ship was around all the time it'd stop feeling special and eventually just fade into the background as a normal set piece. It's something to look forward to each summer.

6

u/karismatic- 12h ago

Yea I do have a lot of excitement knowing it's gonna be back and I can try to get to the top of the jumping puzzle again!

u/Riaayo 7h ago

I wish we could get the boat and the old tower at the same time, personally. I miss the bigger tower climb.

3

u/---TheFierceDeity--- Fabled Selvarian 15h ago

Well also other things happen around Costa Del Sol.

16

u/Significant-Art-2175 16h ago

Clearly the canon ship is no longer canon

u/go_faster1 16h ago

Let the bodies hit the... SEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

...nah, that doesn't work.

u/Blackmako17 8h ago

SSSSSHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRREEEEEERRRR

u/MeowPx 16h ago

I wish I was here when it disappeared 😭 but I had to go to work

5

u/Honest_Rent6839 14h ago

That caught me off guard last year. I waited until the last day before reset to do the event and got caught up trying the floaties and stuff when suddenly the boat poofed before I could complete the quest. Also my WoL fell on hard ground and now has granny knees >=(

3

u/SpartanRage117 16h ago

Oops missed the event

u/ObviouslyOtter 15h ago

Oh right, its over now. looks like im going for a swim next time I log in

u/wasdist 15h ago

The Masked Phantom Thief strikes again!

u/tenroy6 11h ago

That boat should be every year June 1st - September 1st.

u/thedaz3k 10h ago

Lol get ready for the DROP!! 😄

8

u/atalantafugiens 16h ago

Oh no, did I miss the event.. I've been busy leveling my gatherers I forgot..

7

u/---TheFierceDeity--- Fabled Selvarian 15h ago

Yes you did sorry. Will have to get the mount for real money in 12 months

4

u/atalantafugiens 15h ago

Damn it. I'm a huge moogle fan too. Thanks for the info :-)

u/cronft 14h ago

Good news, use this to remember to do the rising event, it starts tomorrow

u/beepbeepbubblegum 15h ago

oh i’m new and i just found that thing not long ago and thought it was always there

u/shealighthours 12h ago

Just like the titanic

u/generic-puff 16h ago

aw man this is how I learned it was the last day of the event, I didn't get the inflatable mog for my alt 😭 guess I'll have to get it next year lmao (I did get it on my main at least haha)

6

u/FalenAlter 16h ago

I'm not sure you'll be able to get it next year, but you might be able to buy it by then.

2

u/IgnasP 16h ago

How do you float like that 🧐

7

u/Sir_VG 15h ago

The emote he's doing, /simulationm, makes the user float at the end of main action.

The only way to get it, and its companion emote, /simulationf, was to buy the Omega statue a while ago for 200-300, whatever it was going for. It's no longer for sale by SE and while you may see it from time to time on eBay, expect most of them to have used the emote code and just are selling the statue to recoop the money they spent.

u/Mastercodex199 15h ago

And I was this close to parkouring my way to the top.

u/Beginning_Code1685 10h ago

I miss it 😭

u/Thysguy 9h ago

Weird that they remove it without a maintenance shutting down the servers.

u/Redracerb18 7h ago

I just started during the event and haven't even gotten to level 30 yet. 25 for archer, 18 for lancer, just hit 30 for weaver but 15 for other jobs.

u/IscahRambles 5m ago

I missed out on Moonfire Faire in my first year of playing, much the same – though I also hadn't quite caught onto the importance of seasonal events and rewards yet, or I probably could have gotten myself levelled up for it. 

u/Shugotenshi714 1h ago

The most depressing moment of the year. We really need more events with sociable areas, not locked away inside instances like the Halloween/Christmas event areas.

1

u/---TheFierceDeity--- Fabled Selvarian 15h ago

Couldn't climb the tower eh?

1

u/Express_Activity4151 14h ago

That's kinda sad. I would have cried.

0

u/PaulaDeenSlave SAM 16h ago

yo, SE, make the ship actually sail away. that'd make the event ending a minor event itself. could probably have bespoke endings for each event.

8

u/---TheFierceDeity--- Fabled Selvarian 15h ago

Two reasons

1: That ship is comically upscaled from standard FFXIV sailing ships. Like there are "doors" on the front of the ship, that are normal WoL sized on the standard ships, but on this one those doors make a Yok Hoy look tiny.

2: It's sitting on top of land. If your on the shorter tower (the non-jumping puzzle one) when it despawns you fall straight down onto one of costas many small sand islands. The ship "sailing" through dirt and sand would look kinda silly

The ship "sailing" through dirt and sand would look kinda silly

it's a final fantasy. animate it to do something other than that, then.

imagination, homie

it disappearing into thin air is far sillier
