It's still so amusing to me how they make a single quest with like 10 minutes of cutscenes and a 3 minute level 10 FATE and then call that an "event." If any of you took Yoshida's advice and actually played other games, you'd realize what a huge joke this is.
The biggest punchline is XIV's got about a decade worth of abandoned content scattered all over the place. If they just unearthed any of it and tied a token store to it or something, they could have low-effort events every single month. Instead, they release more frequent cash shop updates where the pricing rivals the sort of thing you'd expect from a f2p mmo. But hey! At least the CEO isn't stealing breastmilk like at blizzard, so I guess this is acceptable.
