Lightning Strikes Event

[Sephirah]

Camate can you relay to the development team that the FATE system is terrible?

I have yet to find any person in game who enjoys this system. It's a mess, it causes crashes, it's not fun, it doesn't take any brains to complete.

PLEASE JUST STOP WORKING ON THEM. Easily the worst feature of the game.

Initially, I thought they were a fun incentive to stay in certain areas a little bit longer while leveling up through the quest chain, but yea, now that the majority of people have played through all the story currently available, fates are just a spam fest.

Well then allow me to be the first, as I enjoy the FATE system and don't want them to scrap it.

I haven't done the event yet, but if we were to use Fantasia item after completing the event and changed gender, would it be possible to obtain the equipment for that gender? In other words, if I were to obtain all of Snow's gear, would it be possible to obtain Lightning's gear to accommodate for the change?

This just in:

LIGHTNING HAS VISITED EORZEA, A DIFFERENT PLANE OF EXISTENCE FROM HER OWN. HER ARRIVAL HELD TOGETHER BY THE FLIMSIEST OF LORE. SHE JUST WANTS EVERYONE TO KNOW HER NEW GAME, WITH THE SAME CAST OF CHARACTERS YOU ALREADY HATE, WILL BE OUT SOON AND YOU CAN PURCHASE IT FOR $59.99! OH BY THE WAY, HERE IS SOME CRAPPY ARMOR YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITH THAT LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE!

HAVE A NICE DAY!

This. I miss Squaresoft. Lol...

Do the fates appear in different locations? I hope it's not a mess like Odin's.

• FATE difficulty
  As we go through each phase, we’ll be having some high level FATEs; however, we’ve balanced them so they can be cleared with only four people, so don’t worry if the amount of participants decrease as the event is wrapping up.

We also understand that there are a lot of people who are trying to do this event and there may be congestion, so we ask that if you experience this to just give it a bit of time.

Um, congestion is totally insufficient to describe how unplayable FATEs become - these FATE in in particular. Please try to get future events implemented in such a way that they are instanced.

If it was designed to cure Alt-a-holicism we'd be restricted to only being able to make one toon per server. Most people like to look at different things while they play through out their time on this game. And.. those who RP also take on different characters for a different out-look on a story.

People can do more characters, because SE know that people want something like this. But you get rewarded if you play only 1 character with a cheaper monthly fee.

Even if you can’t progress as each phase begins, have no fear! You’ll be able to accept all of the quests, so rest easy knowing you can do this event at your own pace.

Thank you! Thanks for spoiling me... I feel like I'm back in kindergarden.

Anyway, there's now reason way anyone/ anywhere shouldn't be lv.15+ or lv.25+ for that matter. Causal should at least have a lv.50 job by now, let's be srs about this. Oh, I understand that each phase isn't required you start the previous phase for the quest, that's good!
(it's not like anyone will be ignoring this event...or will they?)

Ok, twice now I have received gold for the fate, and received nothing for the quest. I could be spending time doing more interesting things, like boiling eggs.

[Vanguard319]

so, how do you start the event?
