Thank you DEV team for the Moonfire Faire. Although some seem to have a problem with one aspect or another, personally I thought it was very well done.
For a start there are two different kinds of FATE you can collect tokens with, you can gather or craft your way to tokens, and there is the conventional task based quest for tokens as well. The story quests were short and humorous, and included a variation on the blowgun mini game, which was nice to see. Without worrying too much about political correctness, my wife and I enjoyed the challenge of spying out the girls while the guys tried to run interference for them.
All in all a pretty good event, much much better than the ludicrous talk to one person and collect your event prize quest that the last make it rain event featured.
Please make more of the seasonal events multifaceted in future. Also, it wold be great, assuming the Lore can handle it, for there to be 2 or 3 more events each year. One in the Heavensward areas, one in Ala Mhigo, and one in Doma, and perhaps even one in Kugane which seems to be a perfect venue for a seasonal event - IMHO.
In any case, this years event had many things to do, something for everyone. One thing that would have made it better would have been dyable versions of the existing swimsuits. I can only hope you intend to make that possible at a future event in the not to distant future, or by adding them as craft able items - that don't require desynthing rare fish with a double dose of RNG.
Thank you again for this years event, please give us more of this sort of thing in future.
Thank you for Moonfire Faire

They want newbies to be able to enjoy the events, which is why it's always going to be stuck in the first three states.
-
08-09-2017, 07:10 PMKosmos992kBut on the other hand a few events in thes newer areas would be nice bonuses for the players who subscribe continously, or do all events have to be available to newbies?Quote:

08-09-2017, 07:54 PMEnurSupposedly the winter event is celebrated in Ishgard to large extent in the lore. Ingame however not a single decoration went up in the city. The expansion areas are therefore likely to never receive updates for seasonal events. While i would like to see more of the world fleshed out, these events likely wont expand behind a paywall or high level content as they really are the only optional updates newer players can participate in while they go through the long MSQQuote:

I would LOVE if they decorated Ishgard and Kugane/Rahglr's Reach for the seasonals. And im okay with them being in one of the three city states, but it would be nice if they set up "satellite" location for extra tokens or randomn stuff in the newer areas. That would be like a tip of the hat to the people who made it that far while at the same time still being available to the sprouts in the city states. Imagine a starlight celebration in Kugane!? <3_<3

Did enjoy! Simple as that.
Hey just costa being more alive is always a really good thing in my book! :) :o -

To be honest I love that it's largely in the first 3 areas as it gives me much more reason to go back to a place like costa where otherwise I wouldn't ever really go. In a time like this where SB is still new and everyone will be exploring and discovering things in the new places it's great to be drawn back home essentially

Costa is very well done. Makes me wonder what the older housing areas are going to be like with their redesign for swimming access. Fair was fun. I have to do it a few more times on my main and other alts. The dyeable version of the outfit is nice.

I though it was pretty well done. Some humour, while crude, was still good(events need at least SOME humour after all). Easy to do, and lots of people willing to help with advice or items(there were crafters handing out the Battered Fish to whoever needed it on Cactuar).
-
08-09-2017, 11:14 PMKosmos992kWe had some crafters doing the same thing on Behemoth last night as well. It was nice to see the community working to help each other, just because they could help.Quote:

Loved the mini dart game. :3 Glad they implemented more of that. o/ Was hoping to do one with the guys in the background for the girl lala. lol
-
08-09-2017, 11:21 PMKosmos992klol, that would have been a great option, or even a great second element to the same quest. After all, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.Quote:

I found it odd that the owner of the resort made so many perverted comments on cat girls.... in front of a Miqo'te. Granted he isn't known for tact or being discreet.

The event is pretty good and it's great to see lots of players having fun. Personally I would have liked new or different gear for rewards.
-
08-10-2017, 03:21 AMDreamAngel-RenYeah it was great seeing players swimming and just having a good time at Costa ^^Quote:

New player here, so forgive if I sound ignorant in any way because... I am haha.
Anyways, I liked this event personally! The real fun part was how it felt like a party. All the people swimming and posing, the strange yet fun conversations in Shout, and how you can start new friendships simply by giving away free fish. (I would say I'm chaotic good; I sold fish and gave away fish.)
The issue some users had was most likely due to the fact that this whole, "spying on cute girls" feels like an outdated trope over political incorrectness. Nothing to really get worked up over. Just kinda roll you eyes and move on. -

Has anyone seen/recorded Ultros? I heard he was there but I've yet to see the fate
-
08-10-2017, 06:02 AMKosmos992kI got some screenshots. He hangs around after the FATE, I guess to sign autographs and pose for selfies with players. :)Quote:

It didn't feel like I was a guest in the event, it felt like I was a staff member who had to be there to make it work.
Granted, FFXIV events can quiet down really quickly, but at the same time people often aren't just rushing from quest to quest so they can get it over and done with and return to their other dailies. I don't see the problem of finishing it in 10 minutes. -
08-11-2017, 04:34 PMIlenyaMy reaction to that was a rather in character "...I have a sword." to the Roe's whose name I have forgotten telling me we needed to decide what to do.Quote:

I loved that fitting addition. And yeah, sure, political correctness and all, but, this is Japan, and kinda tame for Japan at that. -
08-11-2017, 09:06 PMMadepossibleI agree with this!:3Quote:

I liked this event, they gave us plenty of options to get the seasonal items. Having CUL and all gatherers levelled up past lv.30 it was really quick for me to get everything I wanted, then I distributed all leftovers (I crafter over 50 battered fishes lol) to random people :D
As for the event being too short, most seasonal events aren't that long. I personally prefer that way because they feel like a small break from all the grinding, roulettes, etc and yet they don't take too much of your gameplay time, so you don't have to rush too much to complete them before they end. -
08-11-2017, 11:36 PMKrenianKandos
While the event was short, it was mostly for the glamour shots I did the event, and even then, not even with the Roe. Course I'm talking with my Hyur female:

Yep. Excellent photo times. (I fully am aware that it's a pretty vain viewpoint. My wife has already rolled her eyes at me and called me a pervy for it. But hey, I use what I'm given in game! .....yep. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)
...Thanks S-E? >.>; -
08-12-2017, 12:25 AMArutanWait, they were an interference? I thought I had to spy them. At least it's more interesting.Quote:
