The Rising - A Giant Thank You!

Seriously...this is an amazing event the dev team put together. They may be thanking us for playing, but we should be thanking them for making such an awesome game!

I'll admit I was rather touched by this. It also strongly reminded me of something. That being that despite the fact that people may constantly complain on the forum left and right and generally sound like they don't appreciate the hard work that gets put into the game, moments like this prove otherwise and you hear from the people (possibly the same said people no less!) that they actually DO like the amount of time, love, and effort the development team puts into this game. It's one of those rare moments in which I'm reminded that humanity isn't all bad, and my faith in humanity actually raises a little.

So for me, this was a double whamy. Thank you Yoshi-P for making this game wonderful and keeping me hooked! No other MMO has ever succeeded in keeping me this long, save for Dungeon Fighter before it got taken down.

When I saw "go do this FATE over here" I was like "oh boy, it's one of THESE events again" but I was absolutely surprised and charmed at their cute way of showing the development process (getting rid of bugs, having to run around asking people how to fix bugs, etc). I -completely- lost it when Yoshida himself showed up.

The icing on the cake is the minion for my favorite FFXIV character, Iceheart... and the unlimited Heavenscrackers that I can spam to my hearts content.

Thanks so much to the FFXIV dev team for such a touching and fun little event.

Stunning event! Thank you for a beautiful game, my first MMO ♥

Two years ago I was in a bad place, then this game came along and a friend of mine went and bought it for the both of us - it changed everything. The stunning world of Eorzea gave me strength when I really needed it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Id also like to say thank you to the developers. I've played a few MMOs and the Final Fantasy ones have always been my favorite. As a ffxi fan, I was sad when FFXIV came out and was broken. But the developers worked really hard piecing things together, and relaunching the game in a much better state. Thanks, you guys did a really good job!

i knew we broke that 4th wall when it showed us those concept art posters. Then dat bling.

"White, black, red, blue"

"maybe next year they'll let me carry sacks."

There's a clockwork doomtrain minion on the loose.

"Two primals, a behemoth and a bomb."

"I hear you've found new housing."

"again with the headshot"

What do you mean "always preffered that look over the one we have now"?

Look at her face and you'll see it. It's 1.0 Minfilia.

I liked the older model compared to the current one used.

only part of which has been followed upon.

Well teeeeeechnically they haven't. The Voor Sian Siran we see isn't the Voor Sian Siran of legend. It was simply mislabeled. The sightseeing log explains the mixup.

Thanks for the fantastic event (and game to date) Yoshi-P and team!
