That's really all we get for easter?

A recolored umbrella & Prisms?

OH BOY, SE REALLY SPOILING US THIS TIME!

Zero effort, This is A.I Slop level of Recycling.

While the parasol is cute, I was disappointed in the lack of housing furnishings, that's two events in row that didn't have any housing furnishings when they usually do.




I did enjoy seeing Alpha and Omega, they look cute with their parasol :3

Disagree. Someone can usually find something to use with an outfit or at least a piece of it. The fashion accessories in themselves are already very limited in what you can do for the most part.

I see why it's only the umbrella now, These dirty buggers put the old event stuff on cash shop.

Smh

That recycled umbrella is a joke compared to past Hatching-tide rewards.
Just a little reminder — here’s what we got before:

This is the world famous customer friendliness of the Japanese companies.

• We get a currency that we can earn in a new questline with a dungeon to farm. Who we use to get all the old stuff from the previous years!
• We get a full new set, mount, emote, new housing items, new recipes for crafting and more!
• And not a single item is added to the cash shop, because we pay already enough money for there subscription!

Oh wait, its Square Enix, never mind! We get a reskin with 0,1% effort and more stuff to pay in the item shop! YEAH... what how much they love us! Not!

Not even many NPCs standing around in all of Gridania, depending on your progress in the game. I miss the time where one could run around and guess who is hidden behind the chicken or bunny costumes, based on what they're saying. Especially during hatching-tide it felt a little bit like an egg hunt in its own. Now we have, like, three pairs or so, standing all right in front of the area just to make sure nobody is even a little bit slightly inconvenienced by having to walk three more steps.

I get that it takes some effort to create a whole event dungeon with it's own mechanic like for All Saint's Wake a few years back, but come on, not even a bunch of NPCs with speech bubbles, based on a checklist in the back end programming? That's really not that much to ask, nor doing a FATE or so, like with the bunnies or the egg collecting. I'm staying out of the discussion what reward may or may not be nice, considering these events are zero effort right now, but I'm asking for the events to be fun again, something to look forward to. Something that's more than "talk to three people in close proximity to the event area".

Some people do unironically believe this even when Nintendo is right there as the stellar example of virtually everything that is wrong with modern gaming (and someone is going to mention "at least they don't put P2W microtransactions in" but lol they clearly don't know about games like MK Tour).

Playing on the collectors OCD of their addicts is a far better business model than quality gameplay and content. The SaGa gachas have consistently been the top horses for SE.
