Can we get more events like Easter and less FATE-heavy events in future?

[StrejdaTom]

Hello,
I would really love more originality filled events like Easter (for those who already forgot, we were able to chase the egg in Gridania, count the numbers of differently colored spriggans etc.).

Most seasonal events that occured in game in past 3 years were just fetch quests and fate grinds, well the Easter proved that you guys at SE can do better.

This post might be a bit influenced by the fact that I am currently finishing my 486th FATE for all Yo-Kai weapons, it is optional, I get it, but there is still the problem of all seasonal events being just FATE fests with no entertaining mechanics (except Easter).

EDIT: Another example of how to do it might be Gold Saucer and its GATEs. Mechanics wise, they are different from other stuff we see ingame - jump puzzles, avoiding NPCs etc.

EDIT 2: Just to be sure that I am ready for the moment when someone with the "if you don't like it, don't do it" attitude joins in: Yeah, I don't like it, but I want to like it next time, that's why I am giving suggestions. There are many FATEs in game already, no need to implement more of them, when we can get completely new content.

EDIT 3: I am not making suggestions about the lenght of events but about the mechanics/ ways of completion.

Lol....
I meant GATEs are good examples of random mechanics like jumping puzzle + dodging bombs, avoiding NPCs etc.
I didn't say anything about putting next grindy drops right into GATEs.

Also IIRC this is the first grindy seasonal event that we got, all others were just about fine.

It's sad that you have to clarify over and over again that you're making a suggestion because we all know someone is going to jump on here and tell you not to do it.

I support though, events should be fun, and many people are not finding this one fun at all.

The Easter event was SO FAST! It took like an hour (with bad luck) and you were done. Please don't make all events like the Easter event. I enjoy having a real event that takes more than 10 seconds to complete.

I think the OP means they want future events to be less FATE-based and more event and/or Mini-game based or, if they are FATE-based, for the FATEs to be more mechanically interesting, like the Gold Saucer's GATEs.

I agree with Mae. The halloween event last year was SO FAST. I liked the rewards, don't get me wrong, but it was like "That's it???" A game I used to play had event quests that could only done once a day, so the events took longer to complete, though this was based on what rewards you wanted. And before people get all nuts about events having daily quests, there were over 10 of them so it's not like the moogle dailies or something.

They tried some sort of dailies over one of the Christmas events but people complained that they didn't want to do them every day because it was over an actual holiday so they ended up doing repeatable every day quests like the Ladies' Day stuff.

Exactly, thanks.

Yes please. Less FATEs the better let them die.
