it's not that bad. I just recently made an alt. Now I can try getting lightning's hairstyle and costume.
Players wanted them badly enough for SE to bring it back. So why not?
I finished the Lightning event back when it first came out and I honestly don't care if they bring it back again as I don't need an exclusive armor set or hair style just to feel special. I am however concerned about those poor souls still working on their ATMA and whether or not the Lightning FATES will interfere with them.
lame.....
I mean I can empathize for the ones that missed it the other 2 times, but honestly ask yourself, where does it end? You can imagine another year passes and someone new says "Hey I missed out on Lightning Returns! Can I have it come back?"
It's not that I wouldn't want you to, but a 3rd time it has officially cheapened it because the 3rd time seems so irrelevant now.
Make it stop!
Make it stop!
I got all of the items from this event, but hey. They're bringing it back as part of the One Year Anniversary festivities. Who am I to complain?
* The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
* Design ideas:
Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)
I just hope SE adds something different in the events they bring back for the players who done it the first time like add a minion that's modeled after one of the characters in ffxiii or something so that both old and new can enjoy said content.
I am all for game events like this, gives a decent distraction every once and a while. However this is the third time they used the same content, and not giving us something new. it would be better if the rewards were a little different, or built upon the last event.
something along the lines of:
A little Metal Slime minion or a /PuffPuff emote for the DQ quest. Sazh's Chocobo chick or the Black outfit from FFXiii (IE the actual game they are promoting).
Why are people so vehemently opposed to this? Who cares if they do it again and again? If you already did it, you don't have to do it this time. Just pretend it's not there.
