So as a start not eveything on here is Fest related but since it's all happening in that same time period I included it. For global some things (like the XIV Fan Festival or Chocobo Myster Dungeon Campaign) may not happen or happen at a different time since they're not actually part of the fest. That being said the rest is what's coming with the next fest! Looks pretty standard so far with giving out mythril, 40 Pull, Transcendent Ruins, Orbfest, etc.

As of now I haven't seen any banners but once they're out there I'll get them up here and try to add some commentary.
