Starlight of 2025 was marvelous as always. The Starlight stalls returned from last year as did a continuation of the story from last year as well. It was a bit longer with conceptualizing warm & cozy drinks from all three city-states, and mugs to match. The details on the mugs are really nice (I personally like the Limsa Mug the most, even from being a Gridania native). The emotes that came with them are rather expressive, even on us Vieras.
The quest/story included a minigame of handing out the appropriate drinks (no lose-scenario, only the dialog would change), which was a nice change from the usual just running around and chatting with the locales. As for the Starlight Stalls themselves, seeing them again in all their glory was lovely and some returning characters paid a visit as well and depending on how far one was in the MSQ and side-quests, would also see some other folks pay a visit too once the quests were all done.
All and all, a very enjoyable time with all of the festivities throughout the realm. We did sneak on over to Jeuno and pick up a very nostalgic song for HQ to play during the season as well – one from Aikirees’ first live so many summers ago now.
Hope everyone really had a wonderful Starlight season of 2025!
