Worst Summer Event EVER

I found the previous moonfire faire with the npc messages much much better.

I can see the cut-scene in my head, "the jaw" shark music, camera zooming in on her tail coming out of the water and moving at an unnatural speed, everyone screaming and fleeing on sight .... that would have been perfect.

All of the above would be much better with Hildibrand instead of Wuk Lamat :D

It's weird the /uchiwasshoi emote is short but the /wasshoi emote is persistent. I thought it would be the same.

They don't offer fun, i think they just offer filler for you to waste your time clicking through and walking back and forth to, in exchange for the sub time you get some inconsequential gimmick or gag.

There were some really fun or deep events in the past.
Papa Gruff and the haunted dungeon was so much fun I did it multiple times.
The event with the maze mini game.
The rising event with the spawning monsters in Ul’dah.
The Christmas? event where you get letters from npc’s you helped in the past.
I kinda also liked the summer event where you had to dance in the fate.

This event is pretty luster but this time I give them a pass because it’s close to the expansion release.

The next event though… let’s see.

I was hoping it would be. But the wasshoi emote is actually a chinese emote that was eventually made available to everyone else on the store. It was never an event emote like the uchiwasshoi is. Despite it being clearly themed that way.

While events are always meh in FFXIV, I have noticed in the year that an expansion releases, the events tend to be worse. I hope the events are atleast a bit better next year. Dataminers have already found the Halloween event the custome looks very meh, hope the event itself is fun.

Personally, I want them to put as little effort into seasonal events as possible; that stuff is in the game for a few weeks and then it's gone forever. I'd far rather they take any bandwidth they have to make seasonal events and devote it to the parts of the game that are there all year round.

We don't even get the JPEG art as posters anymore ._.

I want to have my housing walls covered in posters but only maybe got one wall so far

Remember Fate Farming for stuff like Notes, armor sets, etc? Nahh...we cant have that here. Lets make a promotion for an Event that is literally 2 quests where you click things...and thats it. 2 Quests that took like...dont know..1 hour to program in?`Yeah. I absolutly agree, FF is running on minimum effort mode. The biggest cash cow for Square runes on minimum effort. All our sub money goes into other (crappy) games that will fail on launch.

The story was more lacking than usual...and I honestly never expect anything that great from them. But that one was...uh. A dad joke?

I have a question, if anyone here played the event in any other language than english - how does the story go? Because correct me if I'm reading it wrong, but...the whole thing was "the uchiwasshoi gets rid of evil spirits and the cactuars were drunk...spirits??? Drinks?? Get it???? ba dum tss"

Does that even work in any other language or does the quest makes even less sense than that?
