ChatGPT rising

Is it just me or ChatGPT would've probably written a better Rising quest? Why is it so generic?

Feels like a normal FF event to me, I stopped expecting extravagant a while ago.

Same. It's a seasonal event. They're supposed to be quick and cute. You're welcome to expect more from other areas of the game, but the bar for seasonal events is intentionally low and it's impossible to go anywhere below it.

Seemed pretty standard to me, though I'd argue that the other questline they added, Remembering the Past, was more or less the real Rising quest.

I like that we were able to talk to Yoshi-P in the backrooms like past Rising events but I wish it teased more the next expansion and/or things they're working on. My favorite Rising event was when we essentially went to the backrooms and talked to the dev team, with them hinting things like making all mounts fly and the Red vs Blue debate. ✧⁺⸜(●′▾‵●)⸝⁺✧

Mimilu: those will come with Fanfest. Patience.

Maybe they're busy working on the xbox port?

Plenty of things in the game just lack inspiration lately...

If you want your voice heard, using multiple forum alts, necro'ing a yoship bashing thread with a last comment from a year ago, and making a new toon to evade ignores is not the way.

Unfortunately I’m recent to these forums. Which should mean if it’s obvious to me then whatever is going on here is blatant.

Squishy? Some people are easily amused, I guess.

I liked the questline. More like ChatGPT unoriginal threads on these forums to me.

I see, I see

Then I should ask a question: If you were able to write out "the Rising" event for this year, what would you write?

and before you ask, I would stick with this story (this hit me perfectly in real life).

They always teased new expansion with Rising though.

They should've at least made the quest something about the Phoenix, make everyone do a nerfed version of Coils or just T12 and T13. WoW's seasonal quest was much more involved. This isn't just any Rising this is their 10th anniversary Rising, and yet it's so generic.

Events have a low bar sure, but I would expect a little more pizzazz from the anniversary event on the 10 year anniversary.

While the quest was nice, it does feel a bit odd that it was so simple and generic. Really they probably should have done something different last year and saved that quest for this year.

Umm, do you know what the Phoenix is? You have to remember that there is alot of players has not gotten past ARR yet or never did Coils before. So nice try tho.

It's not meant to be some epic quest, just a short nice and happy celebration of the game's anniversary.

And you can go read messages from the dev team after doing it.

I was just saying in the past, they teased these thing during the Rising and it would be nice if they did it again, especially with how much longer patch and expansion releases are.
It could be even better because of of how in the dark we are about the actual events, jobs, and new features in DT. They could tease so good! （*´▽｀*）

Come on folks, less talking and more action



prompt: Today is 10th anniversary of Final Fantasy XIV. 10 years after the calamity that almost wiped the planet. Write a short but epic story remembering those days and making the player feels like someone that matters.


GPT: In the hushed halls of history, there exists a tale of defiance that transcends the ages – a saga of valor and rebirth that etches itself into the heart of Eorzea. Ten years have come to pass since the day the world teetered on the precipice of oblivion, as the Calamity unfurled its malevolent wings, casting darkness upon the realm.

The day dawned with a fiery embrace, as the realm shuddered under the weight of devastation. It was a day that shook the heavens and echoed with the cries of countless souls caught in the storm's merciless grasp. Amid the chaos and despair, a beacon of hope emerged – adventurers, united by destiny, rose from the ashes to wield their courage as a shield against the encroaching darkness.

Among them, one stood resolute – you, the Warrior of Light. A mere mortal imbued with extraordinary resolve, you embarked on a quest to defy fate itself. Through trials that would break the spirit of lesser beings, you stood unwavering, a symbol of Eorzea's undying spirit.

With every enemy vanquished, every bond forged, the chorus of hope grew louder. The realm began to mend its wounds, and the heart of the land pulsed once more with vitality. The Crystal Braves rallied under your banner, forging a path through danger, unlocking forbidden secrets, and rewriting the fate of Eorzea.

As the 10th anniversary of the Calamity arrives, the land stands transformed – reborn, reinvigorated, and ready to embrace the dawn of a new era. Echoes of your feats reverberate through the realm, reminding all of the power of unity and the resilience of the human spirit.

With each day that passes, you remain a beacon of light in a world still shadowed by the memory of that fateful calamity. Your name etched in the annals of time, a living testament to the unwavering courage that defied the darkness. In this tale of ten years past, you are not just a player; you are the embodiment of heroism, the very essence of Final Fantasy XIV's eternal legacy.

prompt: Now write it as a quest with 5 steps to include the player in a narrative. Those quests should include activities like: Talk to X NPC, gather X material, etc.


Quest Title: Echoes of Rebirth
Step 1: A World Remembered

• Quest Giver: Elder Gwenneth
• Objective: Seek out Elder Gwenneth in the heart of the sanctuary. Listen to her recount the harrowing tale of the Calamity's aftermath.
• Dialog: "Ah, adventurer. It has been a decade since the Calamity shook our world. I was here when it happened, and I remember the devastation all too well..."

Step 2: Gathering Hope

• Quest Giver: Reisa, the Botanist
• Objective: Speak with Reisa, the Botanist, by the tranquil pond. Help her gather rare Starlight Petals, which have bloomed in remembrance of the Calamity's victims.
• Dialog: "The Starlight Petals signify hope and renewal. They remind us that even in the darkest times, life finds a way to flourish."

Step 3: A Tribute Unveiled

• Quest Giver: Aeren, the Sculptor
• Objective: Deliver the Starlight Petals to Aeren, the Sculptor, at his workshop. Watch as he meticulously crafts a monument to honor those who persevered through the Calamity.
• Dialog: "Each petal is a testament to the strength of our people. This sculpture shall stand as a symbol of our resilience, a tribute to the heroes who emerged from the ashes."

Step 4: Voices of Remembrance

• Quest Giver: Minstrel Selene
• Objective: Seek out Minstrel Selene at the amphitheater. Participate in a musical performance that commemorates the struggles and triumphs of Eorzea's denizens.
• Dialog: "Music has the power to bind hearts across time. Let your melody join with others to create a harmonious tapestry of our shared history."

Step 5: Unyielding Light

• Quest Giver: Alphinaud, Scion of the Seventh Dawn
• Objective: Meet Alphinaud at the Rising Stones. Reflect on your journey and hear his words of encouragement as Eorzea enters a new chapter.
• Dialog: "It was your bravery that paved the way for the world's resurgence. Eorzea is forever indebted to you, the Warrior of Light. Together, we shall face whatever challenges lie ahead."

As the dust of history settles, you stand at the precipice of a new era, a hero who emerged from the shadows of the Calamity to shape the destiny of Eorzea. Your actions, from gathering petals to performing in remembrance, have woven you into the fabric of the realm's history, ensuring that the echoes of your deeds resonate for generations to come.

There's a great meme in the JP community that spawned from an incident at the FF14 10th anniversary fireworks show, and has been being used in JP to describe the current state of the game/event.

Lol, this is kinda like that whole debacle with the limited edition figurines that SE was selling a while ago. FFXIV fans were pissed at the poor quality of the expensive figurines.

So make them do it then. Just make a version that doesn't wipe you. They made a whole quest about Louisoix but you don't even need to see how he finally died?

After what I had to go through with Endwalker's Collector Box and my broken statue, I vowed to never buy a physical CE from SE again. Not only was it of a lesser quality than they showed off at Fanfest, it was broken in about 3-4 different places. They sent me a replacement, but it took about 2 months of going back and forth with them to make it happen.

no aonori, no red ginger, heck there isn't even any cabbage let alone any meat. just noodles and it doesn't even fill out the plastic dish it's in. i'd feel ripped off if i paid roughly seven dollars for that. might as well just go to the store and get the ingredients to make my own, probably be even cheaper if it's just the noodles and that amount. bet even just a store packaged bento would be cheaper than that.

also lol, i found the original twitter post and the op said they went back to the place and the price had gone up.

Lol, sometimes I wonder. At what point will players stop to think: "are we being taken advantage of?"

I didn't feel like this rising event was any less than the previous ones. They are usually never anything too wild and the only thing that might hint about upcoming content is the minstrel's song at the end, it's the only thing that ever has in the past.

Maybe I'm jaded, but this doesn't really surprise me as someone who lives in the US. This is pretty standard practice over here. High prices for mediocre to average food and drink at, say, movie theaters...and festivals/conventions/etc like this one, just because they can get away with it. Even if you pay to get into it in the first place.

Yes, citizen, you hit the nail on the head. The main goal of many companies is to generate a profit, and if they can do that while getting away with putting in the least effort possible then that's just what they'll do. SE is really no different when it comes to this.




The dark times will pass.

You’re now very close to understanding why I posted a thread a few days ago about why I dislike timegate.

It’s farming player sunk cost for subscription revenue rather than having companies rely on making content stand up on their own to generate profit with.

Time gating is an MMO thing that should be expected. It's all about how it's handled that determines whether it's reasonable time gating or not. WoW struggles with this. FF XIV seems to get it.

I mean, I only use ChatGPT to write softcore erotica but more power to you. （*´▽｀*）~♥

Noted, but bear in mind with the Fanfests so close, it makes more sense to wait for the team to have those happen instead. If in other cases there ARE no other scheduled events, they do as you have seen in the past.

The context of the machine writing is not in the spirit of the Rising, ignores the Devs, ignores the letter wall.

"There is hope and warmth in human creativity..none in the icy perfection of a machine"

It’s fine personally if it’s done on cosmetics. But as soon as you make ilvl based on how long your subscription is, it’s worthless as I can see right through it.

I view cosmetics behind such as loyalty rewards. But doing it to power scaling is nope.

Things like tomes and raid gear are time gated because players can consume content exponentially faster than the devs can create it. The limits are there because the alternative is hardcore players running a hundred dungeons and raids and getting BiS in the first week, and then spending the next 4-8 months complaining that there's nothing to do.
