Special day today?

[Yoshiyuki]

Is it some kind of special day today, since the trees in Sandoria were white and a moogle were giving out free fireworks?

Spring festivals to the best of my knowledge.

Harkening of Spring

The cities of all three nations were awash with the bloom of flowers following the "Hina-Matsuri" event. Even the Moogles are in high spirits with the sight of Springs' beauty.

In fact, it seems that they have hidden a surprise near the many flowers blooming across all three nations. One scrappy youngster from North San d'Oria who found one of the hidden surprises exclaimed "Holy Mithra! That's so cool! It's like so... beautiful...!"

On the other hand, rumors abound of Rhinostery members heaving a sigh of relief that the flowers have bloomed without the trees running amuck. Perhaps they had something to do with the recent wave of blooming flowers?

Adventurers and travelers among the three nations, take in the coming of Spring and enjoy yourselves!
