Square Enix, why is this year's Heaventurn the same as last year's?

[WaifuLoli]

tbh I really think they just allocated all their resources into the Garo event coming in a couple weeks. The rehashed fate is just a result of that. Nothing to do with lore or feedback if anything, just resources and time.

.... might I remind you all that other MMOs do similar events as well, and actually update their events? ....

WoW's were pretty much the same year after year before I quit. You might have some new items but it was the same characters and event related quests.

Just a small point of contention here. For those of you claiming that people should "Shut up and enjoy your free stuff", for a New Year's event, might I remind you all that other MMOs do similar events as well, and actually update their events? Just a thought, really, before you act like we should be grateful for getting anything at all. Holiday events are a genre standard. So, no. People actually do have a right to complain about the fact that their game fails to hold up to standards set across many, many other games.

This is the first one that hasnt been a brand new event, oh the horrors.

Yes, talking generally about FF XIV events, I'm quite happy with them, they tend do bring different ones with each seasonal events, as well as unique special crossover/promotional events.
Even when they don't, like for this Heavensturn, you still have new seasonal items available. Also we just finished the Starlight event so it's not like it's been a long time without a different event.

SE gives you many good things, no appreciation.

Its even more so for the fact that we actually pay for the damn game. I see this kind of effort in Free MMOs. If you are paying for a game and its hosting events yearly and seasonally, please actually use more assets to actually make the event fun instead of grind fest central. Halloween event was going in a right direction: ACTUAL MINIGAMES! and most of all was actually okay despite it being a stealth game, but it falls off because you only need to do it for a bit before you get everything you needed. Make it a worthwhile fun event with minigames, if needing more thats fine, and ontop of that, adding better rewards than orchestrion scrolls because at this point that seems to be the only reward they are bothering to just throw out atm instead of something worthwhile

even the outfits are super lame, Lightning returns came out with FULL outfits now this? not even the damn full set.

you get free stuff, shut up and either do it or don't

I'll just wait until the stuff shows up in the cash shop. So I won't do it, I'll still get it and because I'll pay top dollar for anything on the cash shop, the prices will be rediculous.

You're welcome.

I assume this is where the budget for the seasonal events drew thin. At least the localization team in setting this event made up for it a bit by knowing full well how people would perceive the wording they chose. Maturity where?

I think it's perfectly fitting for NA players.
