I guess it's about time to spill the beans (I promise not to troll this time).
Entering the Runic Gate I was transported to Heroine's Tower (tentative EN name), the new battlefield we will be debuting at VanaFest 2012. (Never fear, we have some plans on making this special event available outside of the event, too!)
Upon further exploration I found myself before an intimidating foe that I think you should all be familiar with:
Ok so EU and NA get 1 Golden Gobbiebag I winner total. Japan gets 1 Golden Gobbiebag I winner in and of itself? I guess by SE reasoning that's fair. I guess you're going by total user population per region or something.
The Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway is the alternative event for NA and EU users that are unable to participate in the Nomad Mog Bonanza. There isn't a Japanese version of the GGG, as they have the Nomad Mog Bonanza.

Why is the new Heroine's Battle access being so limited? I know I'll never win a R/M/E or pulse armor and I couldn't care less about ark weapons or that godawful moogle suit, but I would very much like to be able to do the new fight. At least with the old Mog Bonanza one could guarantee themselves a Rank 5 prize by choosing their numbers properly while more than likely sacrificing a chance at higher tier prizes. Now, there's a good chance most of us will never see the inside of the new battlefield if this is the sole means of orb distribution. That's kinda screwed up.
Our goal is to give the orb out to as many players as possible in the future, and this giveaway is only the beginning of that. As for the "guaranteed rank 5 prize", as I said in a previous reply, this isn't a replacement for Mog Bonanza, and does not function the same way (users can purchase marbles with different digits to try and guarantee a rank 5 prize). In the future, we'll be evaluating how to give away the fun things that have been included in Bonanzas throughout the years (statues, event battlefields, etc.)

You're not shouting in the wind - we're here. Hopefully my explanation above can give some insight into the thought process, but like I said, we'll be continuing to look for ways to get content like the Heroines' Holdfast out to many players.
So we get to kick NPC ***? Hopefully Marakov is there so I can punch the lisp out of him.
(yeah it says Heorine's tower.. he's more female than me so pfft!)
if it don't let me kill those 3 annoying midget, then this event going to fail. I hope this is not the only ***XI is getting, please let there be a *** full new expansion.
@ Binckry
I hope so, hope we can choose who to fight too. Because I can't be the only one who wants the beat the ***out of Naja Salaheem the evil mithra.

i really hope they give us a better maat i bet he wants a rematch still from when i got G5 done.
I would go just to slap Prishe. That darn kid needs to sit her purple-haired arse down and be still sometimes instead of running off and making me chase her everywhere. >.> Bajillion year old kids these days!
On the other hand, I totally want Lilisette to be on my team if we get choose help. She's a little bit awesome. :D
"I have a feeling that when I trade this item to the Runic Gate it's not going to take me to a place I am familiar with..."
oh yea? hmm lets see, it looks like alzada undersea ruins.....and the further text makes it seem like a nyzul isle lamp floor...and the pictures indicate we simply fight a known npc with a slightly different color on her/his clothes....but yes, i must be wrong, it will be something completely new!!!!.....lol
on further notes, i just hope the a)reward for this will be something somewhat useful and the entry conditions wont be too absurd. i havent had much luck in findy relaible neo nyzul groups, only done it a few times. if beating floor 100 there is a condition, then its another event ill have to pass on.

Personally I was quite impressed with Lion and the other NPCs' animations when I tried it out myself.
We plan on passing out a lot of the items which give access to this battlefield so that a large amount of players can experience and enjoy it!
Why do I get a sneaking feeling its yet another case of...oh screw it I'm not gonna say it. If not well I hope its from something everyone can join rather then "TEST SERVER ONLY"
We will probably find out the "secret" npc's via .dat mine anyway among other things.
lol they keep adding crap to the game. With minimal -to- no coding required content that already exists on the game/dats, for a very long time.
The reason we cant have nice little things like this.
Hope you enjoy XIV when they copypasta all of XI onto a PS3 graphics base and shove it down your throat all over again<3 remember those new mob types you wanted? never. The same mobs just different spellings and .dats
anyway, on topic. I would definitely like to mess up some mission NPCs. Lion doesnt deserve it..even though she dragged us halfway around the world only to
