Bah! QCDN is acting all funky on me and not allowing me to post the content of the web page.

But the Twinkling Treants are back!

Edit- Posting the direct quote and pics for you

Master, Master!
The Starlight Celebration is here again, kupo!

The lights! The sweets! The presents!
Just thinking about the fun keeps me awake all night, kupo!

............Ummm...
......Hrmmm............
Alright, you got me! I just can't keep a secret away from my favorite adventurer...

As you already know, the Starlight Celebration will begin in a few days. But what you don't know is that we Moogles are in a pickle, kupo. The trees that we had made for this year's festivities have vanished from Windurst! And what's worse, a terrifying treant has suddenly shown up at the Dhalmel Farm and is wreaking havoc on the locals, kupo!

Come to think of it, I haven't heard from my brothers and sisters working in Bastok and San d'Oria. What if there are crazy trees running amok in their towns as well...?

Wait a minute... Treants in the towns...?
Didn't something like this happen a few years ago? There was some kind of freak accident at the Rhinostery in Windurst, right? If this is the same thing, we're in biiig trouble!

Anyway, as long as these freaks of nature are trouncing about our towns, everybody will be too scared to come out and take part in the Starlight Celebration's festivities, kupo! Even the smilebringers have said that they won't pass out their presents until they're sure the children will be safe.

Ah, what to do? What to do!?
The treant won't go away, kupo!

Well, I guess it has come down to this...
My colleagues and I must take up arms to protect the city from fear!
Oh, don't worry. We'll do all the work. But, we sure could use a cheer or two from our humble masters, kupo!

Fixed OP

Looks like a fun update!

 

[Andreva]

I would totally chase a treant around Windurst walls with a stick.

 

[Elemmire]

except it looks like only the moogles do the work :| D: this'll be the "how well can you cheer on your moogle" mini game! XD

 

[Hmkiroko]

Yoshitaka amano rocks

Are you sure it's him? I've got a book of his artwork and it doesn't look to be exactly his style.

For those that werent around for the first one, it was the best event ever! Seeing everyone gang-bangin a big ass tree is beautiful, and the OP warp reward was equally cool. If the reward is half as good as that this year, ill be completely satisfied and will have regained faith in SE.

But its not likely...

 

[Rappa]

Twinkling Treants = best event S-E ever made. I would <3 their return soooo much

Sounds like a tease...you can't engage mobs in towns. So I'm guessing we don't even get to fight them? Lame.

Heh I was a fresh level 20 monk/war, well until my mistaken attempt of soloing the treant. 0_o

SE is probably thinking if we fight them the reward would have to be similar to outpost warps.

This is how we should earn the warp up to sky lol, limited time only.
