The Rising stage play is kinda sick

[Evangela]

Yeah, let's imitate our dead friend and an event that a lot of people were killed in a stage play so the people of Ul'dah can laugh at it.

Feel awkward, tbh.

It's an excercise in Catharsism. I see no problem with it.

So is most of what goes on in the Waking Sands.

I don't think it was meant to be humorous to them, though.

Really? I thought the play was pretty boring. Not to mention complete BULLSH** for the fact that certain few players were given a special cutscene from the bard who gave a speech on stage. Still probably the worst event for me. :/

Special? Every scene that you botch is RNG. The bard appears regardless of your special snowflake status.

Back to the OP; the event wasn't meant to be funny unless you deliberately screw up.

I gave perfect performance and bard didn't show up.

To get the bard you need to complete the full quest series - at the end they encourage you to reprise your role.

If you do it at this point you will get an option for the bard if you follow the correct answer pathway

People really don't know how to get the Minstrel to show up?

Kinda surprising, since its just another dialog choice in the play.

The NPCs tell you what to do.
Most people don't read.

I'm sure you see where the problem lies.
