The Moonfire Faire, formerly known as the Firefall Faire, is a seasonal event held in Final Fantasy XIV every year during summer in the north hemisphere (although due to the timing of the A Realm Reborn relaunch, the 2013 event was extended into early autumn). It offers players unique rewards, such as swimsuits, after the completion of certain quests.

Feverous Festival Revived by Adventurers' Guild!

As spring gives way to summer, the soft pastels of tulips and daffodils make way for the vivid hues of chrysanthemums and orchids accentuated by the beaming sun, warming the hearts and minds of Eorzeans.

Decorated with garish designs and fanciful faces, one cannot help but notice certain balloons bear an eerie grin, reminiscent of bombards from years past.
