New Stormy Weather (Video)

I'm not sure what your point is. Applied to the general world it is new.

But it's not "New" not in any way/shape/form.

It's a existing feature applied to other zones, but nothing "New" is happening for the end of the world. Does it matter? No, and nor do I care. I just can't say it's something new when it's not new.

It's probably at least modified in some way.

It has never appeared in the areas where it's appearing now, so yeah, it's new. And you seem to care enough to post about it.

...So your saying it's not new right?

Just because it doesn't usually rain in the desert doesn't mean it's "new"

The meteor showers? New.
The moon slowly descending to the earth? New
Thunder happening somewhere it didn't before? Not new.

Again it's not a matter of caring if it's new or not, it should just be pointed out that it's nothing that has been added to the game for people who are still expecting some kind of world altering change to occur. Many of us had expected something big to happen for the last character save, monsters spawning outside of their instanced dungeons doesn't make it something new.

It's pretty cool for sure, but it's not new. I'm not sure why you seem to be taking it as a insult to call the weather not new, it's just the truth it's not knocking it I'm actually glad we get to see it outside of the never ridden ferry. Might as well make that awesome weather effect appear somewhere people might notice it. Again, I'm not suprised people think it's new because the game made it next to invisible.

Hell we have people posting all the time about the hedge trees and things like Amerscale rock thinking it's new all the time.

I guess not many people have seen it though considering the ferry is ignored with the advent of unlimited Anima and two homepoints...shame.

Or, you know. A ferry ride with absolutely nothing to do for ten minutes or nothing to look at with the same repetitive song was enough for people to not bother anymore.

Maybe if there was a fishing shop on board, and some enemies that attacked, it wouldn't be such a worthless waste of time.

No, I'm saying it's new, since that effect was never applied to the rest of Eorzea. You know, applying an effect to a completely different environment isn't just a matter of flipping a switch, especially when you have to create a soundtrack for it and merge it with other effects.

[Jynx]

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.

[Chardrizard]

what a pointless arguments..

[Jynx]

You are right it is pointless I got my point across so I will leave it at that.

PS: If the weather tweaks were added prior then it was hidden damn well, nary a change has been made without .dat miners catching it in advance. or you know white flashes of lightning play on the skyboxes top layer and don't need to be edited to play anywhere in any weather...you know logic and all.
