Hitting armor with a stick
Well, it was fun for a little while...
The latest Mog adventure/crisis/run-around-and-hope-people-are-nice-and-don't-think-you're-lame project involves getting a wooden katana from one Mog, then running around outside until you find another Mog, and then running around some more to find a piece of armor that may or may not engage in battle with you. The fun increases exponentially when you are joined by a bunch of other people, since an unlimited number of people can take a whack at the armor before it runs away like a demon stinky-cheese man. It's kinda like a big moving pinata. You get the joy of deciding to try to run around after the dude (who is on permanent flee) or you can wait around like a dolt and try to catch him when he comes back around.
Once you have completely tired of this bit of fun (and don't let my late night grousing fool you, it is kinda fun, at least for the first couple of armor sightings) you then take your katana back to the mog who gave it to you and they measure how much haunted armor mojo you were able to absorb with it. They then give you mochi for one of the races, which sound a lot like Filipino Rice cake, if you know of which I speak. Anywho, using one of these things turns you into a boy (this has been going on for a few days, so I trust I am not giving away any surprises). You get to watch yourself run around (and the kids do run funny) and then you can either wait for it to end, or you can end it yourself.
Now, I think if you kneecap enough bad guys (I'm a taru, so it's looks like I'm trying to take him out one femur at a time) I think you get upgraded weapons, but I don't know if it's worth it. At this point, I am really hoping for a festival that will result in a kick-ass treat for white mages.
So, if you don't have anything better to do and farming has lost it's thrill, this festival can be interesting in a short-term sort of way. I am sure I am simplifying the whole thing, but since I tend to play after work and stay up way too late, grasping the complexity of the situation would require more thought. And then I wouldn't have anything left over to blog with!
