The Rising

[Niwashi]

Yay! I've been wanting an Answers - Reprise orchestrion roll ever since the orchestrion was added. (Well, I've been wanting it ever since the first Rising event, but didn't see a way of getting it until the orchestrion was added.)

(Hopefully this also means the Rising's theme music is back in the event. I was pretty upset that it was missing last year.)

Maybe the Answers roll on the MB will finally drop in price a little? Perhaps not given what it needs to make, but this will provide a replacement for now.

So cmon, this is the time to praise them .. they gave us 2 minions (that could easily go MOG shop) and 2 "musics" plus other stuff .. lets praise them when they deserve it so they get it.. so we dont get this *s*it on Kuppo store... Thks SE i havent played the event yet.. but the rewards are adequate... thank you

Gotta admit, when I saw those two minions on the PS4 dynamic theme, I assumed they would be MogStation, so I am very happy to be wrong now.

They will be eventually.
Minions of MSQ characters tend to be the rewards for the anniversary event, some in the MSQ itself, some in WT and a Yugiri in a dungeon.

I keep the in game music off. I don't need furnishings. That leaves the minions and their unfortunate chibi style. Maybe if one was Yotsuyu. Otherwise, another meh event reward.

No offense, but that sounds like a boring/depressing gaming experience--this game has amazing music. But to each their own. I'm a soundtrack nerd and absolutely can't wait to get my hands on that Answers Reprise. Only wish I could have been there for the epicness that was the end of 1.0.

You have your opinions and personal tastes. I have mine. I appreciate you acknowledging that. To me this game is far from a masterpiece, and I never played other FF games, so nostalgia is not a factor for me. Obviously, my opinion must be in the minority, which is a good thing for those that want this game to go on and on.

The orchestrions this time are great, particularly 'Answers - Reprise'.
Not huge on the minion choice, but not especially opposed or surprised either.

Hopefully the actual event will be decent, or at least decently-decorated too. Aside from the Ultros appearance, Moonfire kind of sucked (We get a whole new island for events and its just... barren).
Now that we have not-Japan actually available in-game, perhaps a full-on Obon-type festival? Maybe some sort of summer festival setup with food-stalls, mini-games, etc.? Probably not, but eh...

It's not for everyone true. But, like laurtias, I am absolutely in love with the soundtrack. I'm constantly belting out soundtracks from FFXIV on my phone. It's become practically the only thing I listen to (but a favourite artist of mine is releasing a new album in a few months, which might grab my attention off the FFXIV OST)
