Hatching-Tide coming soon!

Eorzea’s next seasonal event, Hatching-Tide, starts March 15th! Lots of new seasonal items will be available, as well as a certain song-that-must-not-be-named (just kidding…) Pa-Paya will be available for the Orchestrion! From the developer’s blog:

“Eggs have been strewn about the city-states for decoration, and adventurers can quickly feel the spirit of the festival with the brilliant and pastel colors.

This year Jihli Aliapoh will once again make a grand appearance, and word has it that there will be some kind of egg-citing mini-game!”

The event site will be going live on Monday, March 14th will all the event info.
