Yoshida, this is the last one for me, I'm never going to grind like this again. Your move.

Yoshida, this is the last one for me, I'm never going to grind like this again. Your move.

Actually.. I finished mine within a week or so of casual grinding. I haven't resented it yet, until I started doing my girlfriend's one. Seriously screw fates.

[Atoli]

I don't know what got into me..I had already decided from the get-go I wouldn't do this.
Now today I suddenly went "oh I'm doing all weapons except for the 30-medal ones!". Urgh.

[Fonou]

If there's one thing that I learnt from this event, it's that the game is not appealing to me anymore lol.

[Shinun]

51 More Medals to go. Why Did I do USApyon early x.x Now stuck grinding 25 more Medals of Robonyan F-type in S.Than

Finished!

Was fun grinding overall other then S.Than

Glad I came back when I did took me 6 days and 797 Fates to get all the Weapons. With work I dunno if I would of made it if I came back much later

[Gemina]

In to say I DID IT!!

I am pretty casual, putting in the most of my hours during the weekends so it took me nearly the entirety of the event's duration. I'm also a newer player, have no level 60 jobs, and about 25 MSQs away from HW. I think it's safe to say you can imagine all the juggling. I literally had to put aside leveling my DoH to get this done, but I sure in hell leveled my DoW classes in their place.

Just a few stats:

Number of FATEs: 726
Drop rate%: .3057
Highest consecutive medal drop: 9
Highest number of FATEs w/ no medal drop: 20
Number of controllers broken: 2

For everyone still doing the grind, I wish you the best of the luck. And...



You can do it!!!

Only two days to go & no mention of the Special Event. I hope it's not Japan only. Very unlikely but they're the only ones who got a trailer for it.

[jameseoakes]

Wait, special event?

Wait, special event?

I think he's talking about this event, the one with the medals and the weapons and the minions and the FATES and yadda yadda yadda.

Nope. There's a trailer on YouTube in Japanese that shows Yokai in FFXIV. I thought nothing of it until I read a random article on the Google News aggregator about the "finale" special event to take place on 3rd October to celebrate the end of the Yokai minions event. It was the first time I'd heard of it & I'm having trouble with finding the (English language) article as Google updates regularly. Here's the YouTube video though, if you understand Japanese. https://youtu.be/XiJPFAP4vzY

Of course, the article could have been wrong & I'm not denying that fact but I can't see why they'd write a whole article about that special event based on that video if it had no relationship to it.
