Everlasting Light as a Weather Type

I get that some would prefer otherwise, but IMO some areas looked better with the Everlasting Light in place. So I wanted to post here and see what you guys thought of it.

What would you guys think of Everlasting Light/Primordial Light becoming like a weather type for SHB areas? The reasoning for it could be due to remnants of Sin Eaters gathering at certain spots in areas or even some other special conditions. So it isn't wasted or just there to be there, what unique things would you add to make the Weather type more unique?

I think the skybox for everlasting light was very pretty, and even if it's not called that, just having the sky as a weather pattern they can cycle into the rest later would be nice to see but the lore would be harder and harder to come to terms with as the story goes on.

Also on that note, the everlasting light themes of Kholusia and Eulmore? Yeah.... I already miss those.

I havent made it to the end yet so no idea but I wonder if they'll find a way to bring it back as an occasional weather type, if we do indeed find a way to banish it forever I would be happy to ask for them to make it an occasional weather lol. It's a pretty cool effect~!

Maybe that crystal wall still messes with the weather every now and then, like giant mountains play with the weather in real life ( well in real life.. minus the whole everlasting light part ;)).

Can play with the weather type then, like gathering nodes and special fates (perhaps simple as that they reward more exp and gems but are tougher for the duration).

I don't know about a weather pattern(for lore reasons) but I would like access to it somehow.... for /gpose at the very least. Its far too pretty to simply let it go to waste.

I’d love to see it filter back into the weather every so often. It was just so pretty, and I’d love to get more screenshots with it. Maybe an option to put it in /gpose would be nice.

It would definitely be handy in /gpose for the screenshot contest they're doing now. Given the theme, it makes sense to want a screenshot with the Everlasting Light weather in the background. And while you can still see the weather in some dungeons, that could fall under the "Spoilers" restriction they have in place.

Maybe they can add a Massive Light based mob character FATE that has a weather change condition like Odin, Coeurlregina & Ixion. There was that badass Demon like light mob in the Mt. Gulg Dungeon or whatever it’s called or better yet, the Lion with the crown.

I liked most of the areas, but hated it in Kholusia. While the other areas remained pretty in the light, everything in Kholusia just got coated in a gloomy orange/brown tone.

So many Sin Eaters in this thread.

I agree with this, I understand the lore implication but it'd be awesome if we could see it again in gpose.

With new game + coming in 5.1 you should be able to effectively go back earlier in the story I think and see the light if you want. I'd rather they not cycle it into the regular weather patterns, would diminish the story impact if it just randomly showed up now and then.

I would like to be able to turn it back on... I did not get to enjoy Lakeland fully because the first mission you get that has you do something in that zone shuts it off. Unlike the rest of the zones I've seen so far I've been able to explore them fully before then. I know I could have freely explored it before hand but the story never directed me to go anywhere in the zone until after... I was quite disappointed.

More so is our lasting memories will be without the light. Depending on play style, 2 days to 2 weeks of seeing this while progressing story, and then it is gone for the rest of the games life? That's sad. (Short of starting a new character of course)

I'd LOVE this. I was very sad when I realized that the Everlasting Light was temporary. It's both very beautiful and very creepy, makes me feel unsafe, and it's also great for screens because the weather won't suddenly become darker. I know it can't be back, but at least I wanted to say how much I love it, haha.

Not having Everlasting Light almost makes me regret finishing the storyline.... All those missed screenshot opportunities!
I'd love to see it, or something similar, make a return. Maybe even have some special fish or monsters that show up during the weather effect! :O

One can but dream.

It's strange, I kinda hated it. It was a...unnerving light effect for me. Kind of gross lighting. Cool in that regards, but not something Im found 'beautiful'.

This. Sure there's no permanent light-cloudcover from the Wardens now, but surely we can allow for a lightstorm or a bit of passing aetherlight, right?

I loved that light sky. FF in general makes some very beautiful skies. Sadly, it wouldn't make sense for it to be a weather sky, since to the rest of the First, it'd be a sign that the sineaters are back. Though, I do agree: most of the areas looked better with those skies.



(It's weird, but I found Il Mheg to be nicer in that fog, too. I'm not religious, but it had an ethereal, almost heaven-like vibe to it.)

I have to say, if they did do this, I'd hope it wasn't often at all. The light was way too bright for me - actually painful to look at in some zones, especially when I looked up. Couldn't stand it at all.

And yes, I have my screen brightness lowered.
