Final Fantasy 14's Christmas Event Gifts Full Santa Suit And Beard
This Christmas, the Final Fantasy 14 team is finally giving its players what they want: a full-fledged Santa suit.
“Starlight,” the annual in-game FFXIV Christmas event , takes place every year and involves a little gift at the end of what’s normally a heartfelt and sweet quest chain.

The prize this year doesn’t beat around the bush (or bushy beard, for that matter). With items titled after the “Unorthodox Saint,” players are given not only the full “Santa suit” but a hat and a full beard as well. It’s absolutely going to be a boon for that player you know who hands out random goodies on your server.

The holiday evolved, and the “Saint of Nymeia” became Ishgard’s equivalent of Santa. So, yes, there’s sort of a Santa in FFXIV . Don’t tell the kids that full story, though. The Saint of Nymeia is real.
