    Sightseeing...

    Sucks...

    Sorry, but this could have been a nice feature, great even. Instead it's just a case of "Go to X location and wait for time/weather" for the most part. It completely kills the concept in my opinion... I'm not sightseeing, I'm waiting to be allowed to sightsee... If it wasn't for the (best) minion being locked behind this, I wouldn't be doing it at all in its current state...

    Would have been much better if you just got a cutscene when we find the location, tie it in with the Echo even; when we get there, we get an Echo cutscene showing us the vista as described (time/weather) in the log. That would have been much more enjoyable, I'd have done that even without the minion reward.

    That's better, maybe I'll actually be able to get my baby Apkallu now, with only minor injuries to my forehead from bashing my head against my desk because I'm "not allowed to look at a vista at this time"....

    An improvements and improvement though, thank you.

    I don't know why they had to make it this weird... If we din't have to wait for weather it wouldn't be that bad imo.

    A minion.

    I think many of us are doing it because they like the concept of seeing the world, but... I'm already at my limit. I found a bunch of locations, but I'm not able to complete it because I need the right time AND the right weather...

    It would have been perfect without the ridiculous requirements. It's vanity content, so I guess I should have expected this though, the vanity content in XIV is generally more annoying than the "real" content. Behemoth and Odin are the rarest enemies in the game, vanity gear is made with relatively rare materials, etc etc.

    It's a shame, I was really looking forward to this... :/

    They took this from GW2 lol. It was fun there because it was awesome to look at so many things and it had huge maps.
    We have tiny zones and stuff..I already seen just about everything lol.
    Nalien's idea seems like it would of been a lot better.

    On reflection, 80 Echo cutscenes might be an utterly ridiculous thing to expect. They could always give the log a NQ/HQ system though; visit the location whenever, get the NQ entry. Visit with the right time/weather, get the HQ one. Then just throw in some secondary achievements for filling out HQ entries.

    Or just do away with the requirements completely. The first entry I tried was apparently in the Leatherworkers Guild. It required cloudy weather or something. I found that hilariously sad.

    This is clearly an idea that was nice in another game and fails hard in this one.

    The idea is fine in this game, it's just their implementation of it that fails.

    Had it been a simple case of just visiting the locations without camping time/weather, I'd be completing the log right now, rather than complaining on the interwebs.
