New Stormy Weather (Video)

The music is new yes. (technically it is from a old update) but the weather is not. It is not "Merged" with the other effects it happens just as the boat. We would have needed a update to actually add "new" weather ala comet showers, and dalamud weather.

So I'll say it again the weather isn't new. Nothing new was added to the game for the final update aside from the music.

I should also point out if turning weather effects on or off is not as easy as flipping a switch (changing a few lines of code to enable or disable) then something is terribly wrong with the games code.

Actually not really. The storm weather has been created way before the dalamud weather was even in the minds of the developers. To merge the two as well as we can see now definitely took some tweaking.

The lightning weather is definitely different in its frequency and intensity from what you see on the ferry. As a matter of fact, it's variable in intensity, as it's much more intense today than it was yesterday, and we can probably expect it to grow further.

The fact that there hasn't been a patch has nothing to do with it, as they probably introduced the necessary code together with the music in a previous patch.
