    I liked the CSs at the end of each, and the text popups and sounds were nice. But the rewards felt lacking.

    EDIT: and while shantoto was an ok idea, an even better idea would have been to use Aldo, Prish or Tenzen.
    I can't imagine ANY FFXI fans disagreeing with a Tenzen appearance.
    Well, Shantotto was voted as the most popular FFXI character in the game.

    Later for the haters. I liked the 2 mini-stories and I had only played Dragon Warrior. The DQ ending was a bit weird (I won't spoil it for you but I cannot endorse using certain beastkin as fluffing devices) but funny nonetheless.

    I can only hope a Star Ocean or Chrono series crossover is not far off.

    Well you can be sure that if it is it'll be one or two fates and take all of 5 minutes to complete.

    Problem is, Tenzen is the least reconizable of that group, no one outside of FFXI players would have a clue who he was... Prishe and Shantotto have been featured outside of FFXI, and Aldo is in the main intro cinematics... so they have a greater chance of being better recognized than him. :\

    So the Shantotto one at least is simply camp the FATE that takes forever to spawn then go back to town .. how VERY FFXI-like, truly a reminder of the appalling NM camping fest much of that was.

    Words fail me.

    Waited over thirty minutes for the golem fate to spawn, but when it finally did... the fight lasted all of two minutes and then it was back to Ul'dah. The ending scene was funny enough, but worth 30min of boredom? eh.. i'll let each person decide that on their own.

    For the Shantotto event, We were lucky enough to get to the first portion of the fate as it was about halfway done, then finished up the rest of the fate and Shantotto fight in about two minutes again. The scene after getting back.. yeah, didn't quite like it; It was about 5min of dialogue about how much better Shantotto is then anything in XIV; Kind of like the Lightning event.

    At the end of the day, i would rather them have monthly original FFXIV mini-stories, rather than try to hang off the coattails of other games. They don't need to be anything ground breaking.. they could be further Garlean encounters, or turmoil between the city states, or even simple "feel good" mini-stories.

    It's hard to please everybody. if it's long, then it's "grindy", if it's short then it's "half baked". I think the events delivered, it got me interested in DQ and called my attention again to ff11. Both events were cozy to finish, no stress and I got some fluffies from them. I like the idea we will be getting more of those quick events, something to do on the side of the main adventures.

    It feels like the person in charge of the events doesn't have much control over what he can do with the game... it feels very limited? they need to give the guy more to work with to make the events not so plain and unoriginal :\
