During the Harvest Festival, you will see decorations resembling the bomb monster.
See what happens when you approach these decorations in a party of two people wearing a certain combination of costumes...

*Try talking to the Moogles that appear in town during the event. They might have some clues for you!

Well this is going to be my first Harvest Festival which I'm looking forward to right now. I have joined the 4th of July one and let me say WOW, I enjoyed the Fireworks and the Music which was so fun. Also it was great because I just relax and hanged out with other FFXI players out there and just did fun quest and missions and gather up on Special Items we collected in the game. So being that I have a lot of friends that have played FFXI for a couple years now. They really enjoyed Harvest Festival. So I'm looking for to October 18 to begin. Also I must say WOW October is big month for updates for the game. I could see Square Enix is working really hard and being that the game is 4 years old they are still enjoying it.

This is so great to see!
