STOP THE RAIN!!!

It really bothers me that the developers seemed to have cranked the rain up to unbearable degree. I get it that we have a lot of umbrellas now so this provides incentive to use them but it's turning the game into a dreary nightmare.

No the rain is the best and only decent weather well outside the few void areas, stop the sunlight instead

They could at least give us changes of weather by season and if they do, it's not at all noticable. Even FFXI was able to give us noticeable seasons back in 2002.

yeah... no. the way SE works, is they remove weather.

nuance is lost on them, and for their changes, its all or nothing. I dont mind the rain at all.

No thanks, I like the rain. Sunshine is my dreary nightmare. Years of Valkurm Dunes will do that to you.

NO. Rain is the best. I wish there were a town where it's always raining for an inexplicable reason lol.

I'm sure you can find some way to get away from cyclical weather patterns, if you really care about that.

Personally, I wish there were more strange weather patterns.

I cannot tell that they have "cranked it up", is it in the patch notes somewhere?

If the rain is an issue, I'd advise to stay indoors or visit the weather man then adapt your travel plans accordingly.

I'll gift you an umbrella

With DT having FF9 references, perhaps we'll get a Burmecia. Without the mouse people obviously...

XD
Bri'ish innit?

I don't think the weather patterns have changes since ARR's launch. Even then I wonder if it's still on 1.0s schedule lol.

Just without the sport of moaning or queuing.

I'm so good at moaning and queueing.

Interesting thing about seasons in FFXIV.

We know there are seasons because NPCs often measure time by the number of "summers" or "winters."

The day/night cycle is equal over the year, implying the axial tilt of the... can we call it a planet for now... relative to its orbital plane around its sun is zero. (The fact that sunset/sunrise is independent of longitude is, of course, impossible, but let's let that skate for now.)

In the absence of axial tilt to produce seasons, the only conventional method of generating them is if the planet is on a significantly elliptical orbit about the sun.

This in turn implies that summers on the planet must be significantly shorter than winters.

Concerning the OP, we just went 214 days in Vegas without rain. I found myself hanging out on my island watching it fall.

I like the rain. Also, they haven't changed anything because the formula for calculating the weather is the same. Otherwise the weather forecasting websites would have broken.

I prefer it to start hailing baseball sized ice chunks with the occasional Lalafell falling out of the sky.

I like the rain. I want more of it!

The problem with rather is how suddenly it starts and stop. It wouldn't kill them to do smoother weather transitions. And to throw some low frequency noise function in there as well so the intensity varies over time.

I prefer having a weather system in a game like this... so go away.

tbh the weather should effect us I mean if its lightning we should get randomly struck by it if we are flying in the air

I feel like the weather is always foggy/hazy/overcast. It's like the weather cycle is thrown off.

It's particularly annoying during some cinematics where NPCs are like "i love this view!" while staring into thick fog at night
