Hi, there! This is "Starlit" Sicycre from the Community team, ready for holiday cheer and festivities! December is here and that means we only have a few more weeks until the new year is upon us.

However, I'm sure many of you know what festivities occur around this time! That's right, the Starlight Celebration is fast approaching!

Event Period

December 18, at 12:00 a.m. through December 31, at 6:59 a.m. (PST)

How to Participate The main event this year begins in Old Gridania (X:10.2 Y:9.4) where you can accept the quest from Amh Garanjy to start things off!

Quest Details

The vibrance of the décor bring the Starlight Celebration's festive feel to Gridania, and many families have gathered at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre to celebrate.

The children seem ecstatic to receive presents and spend time with their families.

But amid all the laughter and cheer, there's a somber-looking boy roaming about...

What could have him looking so down at a time like this? Our story begins here! Be sure to partake in this quest to make this is the Starlight Celebration he will remember best!

Mini-game Completing the Starlight Celebration quests will unlock a musical mini-game! ♪

How to Play

・ Notes, represented by the diamond-shaped icons seen below, will appear on the screen in tune with the music.

・ Each note has a different border, which gradually shrinks around the note.

・ Press the key to match the timing when the borders overlap the notes!

Different Notes We just wanted to take a bit more time to explain a note's color and how it denotes when or how you should press the key.



Blue: Press the key when the border and icon overlap.

Yellow: Press the key when the border and icon overlap, then rapidly press the key until they overlap again.

Red: Press and hold the key when they overlap, and then let it go when they overlap again.
