I have Googled to no avail, as I only get links to guides but nothing of discussion by players on this. I also asked FC mates, asked in zone shout and asked in linkshells - no one I can track down in game at all even works on this log (in fact no one in my FC besides me even knew it existed!)

So HOPEFULLY I can find an answer here . . . Sightseeing log - Entry: "The Salt Strand". I go to the location during the time, which is supposed to be between 6 pm and 5 am Eorzea time. The weather is supposed to be either clear or fair. The emote is supposed to be /lookout.

I checked multiple guides, all with screenshots and even a YouTube video showing the precise spot of where to stand for the trigger. However, even under the listed ideal conditions, I do not get any message in my chat log about "You have arrived at a Vista", and I do not get credit when doing the emote at the spot where all the videos/screenshots say to do so (on the lower part of the rock west of the lighthouse).

Since I cannot find any forum posts regarding this, I can only assess that there is something I am missing, and that this is NOT a bug, which is why this goes in General Discussion and not Bug Reports.

So to those of you who have, in the past week, successfully done this, what the hell am I missing???
