Stop locking paintings

[Culfinrandir]

If you don't want to spend time to do the jump puzzle that's your choice.
But don't complain of not having the reward behind it.

Erm, I think you misunderstand the situation. Every sightseeing picture is locked behind those jumping puzzles, it's unnecessary because the rest of the vistas are unlinked, so shouldn't be locked in that way. Only Stormblood behaves like that, not the previous sightseeing pictures.

Thats not true.
You cant buy the second ARR-set if you havent completed all of them. (I believe it does not apply to the first set? Since I have completed all of them I cant check anymore though)
I havent completed the full HW-set and I cant purchase a single HW-painting.

So this isnt anything new or surprise and considering the paintings are tradeable, I dont think its that much of an issue either. They're the reward for completing the sight seeing log - if thats not to your taste... the MB is your friend. (Or you find a real friend who unlocked them and buys them for you)
