Can they put some more effort into seasonal events?

[Striker44]

The Make It Rain quest isn't ever really too involved. The highlight is more the increased MGP. It's always been one of the more filler events. Other non-filler events are the ones that have more meat to them. I did think the quest was enjoyable and liked learning more about the background of the Gold Saucer.

This. The GATES are popping with people and there's just an energy in them that you don't usually see. This particular event isn't about the extra quest they add; it's about the increased MGP bringing oodles of people into the GS for activities.

A store where you could buy appliances, like fridges and stuff. Not sure if its still around though, lol!

I think both Sears and JCpenny went the way of the Dodo. I've not seen either in years. Either that or they are an endangered species now.

I think your right. I rarely go outside, so I can't remember. xD

Also, Dodo Burgers are great! :3

There are hundreds, if not thousands of single player games where you can easily get hundreds of hours of content with just $10 or so. Pretty much any single player game on discount is better value for money.

One good playthrough on a week or 2 for a single player game does not count as hundreds of hours of content.

Stop being so disingenuous.

Although I will agree that even then, single player games have much more value and time than the crap we waste with MMOs. This genre is such a trap and even if your self-aware about it, there's little that you can do because we are addicted peons.

i just wish they would give us more cool items like for all hallows eve give us goblets of blood crafting recipe we can make for food, or give us idk Medusa hair or perhaps an emote that shapeshifts us for a bit into a monster.


I just wish they would give us some cool gothic looking options there isnt enough

Have you ever heard of strategy games? Or open world RPGs? Yes they do in fact offer hundreds of hours of content, and most old games from before 2020 can easily be bought for a massive discount.

XCOM2 can be bought for $10 when it's on discount and that game offers hundreds of hours of content and is far more replayable than anything in FF14.

I mean... people still play Skyrim to this day
I have been playing Xcom 2 for so many hours myself
People still play Elden Ring on constant repeat to try and discover more hidden things

MMO's have potential to be just as good but they don't do that. Yes running an MMO is difficult and costly but this does not give them a reason to just create events that take 10 min to complete and call it a day. As I said before, events should always be better than the last they have a whole year to come up with something fun and if they can't come up with a better event then just do a repeat of the event and just change up the reward and some cutscenes, one repeat of a previous good event due to circumstances can be looked over but making worse and shorter events is not it chief.

I've played plenty of strategy games, get some of those good older ones on GOG. Let's see...Homeworld 1 and 2 - combined just under 60 hours, so about 30 hours each. Heroes of Might and Magic (one of my favorites that I never completed the campaign as a kid but did last year) - 21 hours. Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak (yes I like this series...) - about halfway thru the campaign, 9 hours. Might and Magic 1 (the RPG, not the strategy spinoffs) - 40 hours. None of them come anywhere close to even cracking 100 hours, let alone "hundreds". Compare that to the actual hundreds of hours I've played FFXIV and enjoyed just as much? Yeah, your attempt at a point seems to be lacking honesty.

[Fyrebrand]

I have to admit, seasonal events is definitely not FFXIV's strong suit at all. Some are better than others, particularly when there is an actual mini-game or activity to do for for fun, but those are few and far between. Usually it's just "do this short quest where you talk to NPCs for a bit, and get an emote or a glam." Then they delete that content forever once the event is over and never bring it back because they want to sell it on the cash shop next year. Unless they're willing to drop this model, things will probably never improve.

Wait till you see the anniversary edition
