Actually, there is a way you can get that content, but I don't think they would do that because of technical reasons but New Game + would be a good place imo.

That was my idea, you can use NG+ to get information about 1.0 and stuff like that. I am sorry if you think differently about what I say. That is my opinion.

Too true, man. What a disappointment this event has been.

But the quote you've provided from your first post is definitely not "saying that 2018 Rising event was the best one".

And in any case, you're using the phrase "that content" to mean something other than what I was talking about, which was the specific claim of 1.0 content being recreated for the 2018 Rising, which as far as I recall did not ever happen.

As I said: all they added for the Rising (to my awareness) was a single battle instance in Ul'dah that didn't even involve altering the present-day model for Ul'dah besides the sky, not "half the world from legacy including it’s world events, music and the fall of Dalamud". So either Supersnow was playing a different game to the one I was playing at that point, or they're reminiscing on a better past event that never actually happened.

So, where was I supposed to go for the half a world of legacy content during the 2018 Rising?

Looks like it fits this community perfectly to me, looking at how happy people are that they get to watch the same movie back to back non stop for multiple hours for a mount or a pet at the end, the players are at fault for the mediocrity of the events in FFXIV, because the standards are non existent

You and I may disagree a lot, but a majority of the players in this game is actually just like Vel, they are a good image of the playerbase as a whole.

Yes, citizen, it's just lip service at this point.




Keep the wind in your sails.

So what quote is it then, the only things I was talking about was PTSD during the 1.0, The Rising 2018 and I would love it to have something like that for the younger players who was not in the game at that time or who was not there experienced it like myself and other here.

Best part of the event is having Rival Wing alive. The actual thing was just another a few dialogues with no gameplay involved. Just how the previous events are sadly.

I don't know about ESO as I have never been to one of their seasonal events but uh.... the events in WoW have been almost the exact same for the last 19 years. That's... not exactly respectful of to the brains of the playerbase to make them farm the exact same bosses and activities for 19 years with a very rare occasional small addition.

I agree that RW is the best part. But I like the Rising storylines, they always feel special to me. The letters from the devs this year were also pretty neat and the moogle minigame is cute!

Edit: The mount sucks, because it's a "transformation" aka they couldnt make your char on it work and so pretend like it's supposed to be your char transforming

False.

They added a lot of small events, called micro events or something like that, that are actually brand new, dont last long, a day or a few days, but are pretty recurrent, the old ones though are pretty much the same yes, but they added a lot of new micro events.
