FF15 Event - Feedback (Event Spoilers)

[manamoppet]

I really liked the camping and fishing cutscenes! The fights were great as well, hope we get more like this in the future!

It would be nice I think if we got the Wandering Minstrel to retell the story of the second fight so that we could do it again and use different jobs with the warp. Warping was fun, but I'd like to do it again for the "flavour" of those jobs after having seen how the fight plays out.

Also make me wonder if

we as the WoL would be able to do that combo Noctis used at the end, as it's very similar to the infight job-shifts in the Shadowbringers trailer, just with the weapons only.

Thanks for this event. It was long overdue in my opinion, but it was well worth the wait.
I was smiling like an idiot every single second of it.

I personally enjoyed the fight against Garuda, and I would very much like to see more fights maybe against Titan, or Ramuh.
And, at the end, get to see the pictures Noctis might take along the road.

Oh, and I know this may be hard, but it would be cool if we could switch songs while riding the Regalia like in FFXV.

Please give my thanks to the team involved! They did a great job!

I rather disliked the fight against Garuda for the pull in mechanic alone. Had to restart the fight a few times before getting lucky with the timing, and each time just made it more of a slog than the last. It's a cool idea but there had to be a better way to do that.
Other than that I liked the event.

FATE was pants... As is the case with this sort of thing... Hang around for an indeterminate amount of time for the FATE to spawn... Spam everything you can to try and get credit among the hundreds of people doing the same thing... Walk away not actually knowing what it was you were killing because everything was buried under the mass of players.

Yeah I don't get the point of these FATES when it's like 50 plus people going at it and you can't even see the boss. Took me going there not fighting just to see what the FATE boss was.

Overall a really nice event, very well done imo ^^b

The story isn't exactly something I would see in the "lore canon", but then again we have plenty of that -- including our beloved Hildi, who isn't exactly very... umm... to be taken all that serious, either.

The FATE part imo is blessedly not-grindy, so thank you for not making us suffer through another Yokai ^^;

The 1st fight feels more like an "are you awake and not afking" to me, but for a casual-friendly event (which this should be imo) that is fine ^^b

The 2nd fight, I really love the warp mechanic, fun thing to play around with it, so overall fun stuff, fun fight! I have only one grip about it, and that is the microburst/warp out part which one-shots you if you do not time it right. We have by now even a thread about it. I play with a slightly wobbly and higher latency, and essentially it is a giant gamble for me if I succeed or not, which feels... meh.

Honestly, if you fail an instance three time in a row even though you do things always the same (and from what I read, correct way)... just as trying various things out on various alts... and with the same method succeed on an alt the same way at first try... on another again first try success... then 4th alt gets 3 fails... that isn't fun, that is telling you "good luck you are on your own, your skill and timing don't mean a thing, welcome to latency lottery". Putting a mechanic into a casual event that massively punishes people with higher latency is imo not a good design choice.

Changing this slightly screwed-up one-shot mechanic (for a game like XIV, which is famous for its latency issues) and the entire fight becomes a fun thing, and actually something I'd love to see more/be able to repeat to play around with warp strike ^^

And gosh, I am still floored we get a 4seater in-game for just doing 1 FATE, 2 solo instances, and 200k MGP. THANK YOU DEAR DEVS YOU MADE ME A VERY HAPPY GAMER! (even if it means you won't get any more money from me for 2seaters ;p Then again... I already paid for 2... >.>)

The 4 seater car even manages to mostly remove the bad aftertaste the slightly screwd-up burst/warp mechanic left me with ^^;b

THANK YOU! Now I can ferry half a party through Eureka and map nights, much fun ahead (and without grinding my rear end off, or paying massive cash for it)

Yoshida, Dev Team... and everyone who worked on this event...

Thank you.

Thank you very much indeed.

Fun event one of the best gotta say actually made me nostalgic for XV which I didn't think possible,

One thing I could ask for is please PLEASE consider changing the car's theme to valse di fantastica. Pleeeease, it's such a beautiful track and doesn't get played as much as it should in XV itself. I think I'd live in that car if I could travel around with that on loop.

Haven't played through the whole event yet but I'm enjoying the fact that each completed quest gives you a piece of Noctis' gear. I didn't like it at first as I preferred his end game FFXV look more. But it grew on me immediately after discovering how well they dye!

[Burningskull]

I'm just really happy that when you complete the event it tells you that there are new rewards at the Gold Saucer. They didn't do that for the 24 man Ivalice raid. Hopefully they do it in the future as well when they add stuff after completing an event or such.

1. The storyline was cute, especially the campfire scene, though I don't know much about FFXV. (I have no interest in it)
2. Resorting to a FATE for acquiring the orchestrion scrolls was a total cop-out.
3. Noct's shirt and jacket actually look REALLY good on ladies; it's like something I would wear.
4. The two duties are neat for what they are, though the timing on avoiding Garuda's mid-fight AoE really could use more tweaking. Took me three tries to get it right.
5. Why is Lunafreya's dress not available when they went through the trouble of rigging it to FFXIV bodies for a five second guest appearance? This game desperately needs more pretty gowns. Eastern Ladies' Cheongsam isn't enough.
6. The Regalia is a nice option for an Eorzean pop idol. It's just a shame mount physics are non-existent in this game.
