The Rising

[Slevin_Impudicus]

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.

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)

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.

Considering Yoshida evidently likes Yotsuyu, to the point that he asked a cosplayer to step on his face, I imagine there'll be a minion of her in the near future.

I need a sauce for this pronto.

EDIT: Nevermind I found the vendor

Lol maybe he was the reason that she ended that way at the end of SB. x)

I kinda like these rewards, (other than that housing item but thankfully that means one inventory space more for me to use) especially since the real Answers is still quite costly on the MB.

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...

Kinda disapponted to find out that the jacket with the meteor sign is not a reward for NA/EU/JP players, but for Chinese players only. Was hoping for some glamour, I guess the only thing that can make me happy is if the event itself is fun.

Which jacket are you referring to? It appears they're getting last year's rewards: http://act.ff.sdo.com/Project/170825TheRising/ Unless that was the wrong site, which is quite possible because I can't read any of that and I was just clicking by picture.

Is anyone else out there super punctual and waiting around in-game for the event to pop up? Or is it just me? ^_^;

Nope, I'm waiting around too. xD Working on gathering classes while I wait. I admit I wish we were getting a Hien minion, but I can hope he will come along in the MSQ at some point.

Edit: Oh my gosh, that was so touching! It was short, and maybe not as amazing as the whole dev floor, but it was still so very touching. Right in the feels! YoshiP and the devs seem to put a lot of heart into the text of this event, so I want to say a heartfelt 'thank you' to them for all their hard work.
