In-game Sonic the Hedgehog event

[Ametrine]

Naka isn't even the only creator. It was a trio of people, Yuji Naka, Naoto Ohshima, and Hirokazu Yusuhara, that conceived the final version of that made it into Sonic 1 (and is what we generally refer to as "Classic Sonic.")

Naka was the lead programmer and was behind most of the physics of the game, and he moved up to Sonic Team's lead director before jumping ship to found his own studio, Prope.

Naka hasn't been a part of Sonic Team for over a decade.

Sure, as something new for the game I support most sane ideas!...

On another note I must admit I don't like Sonic The Hedgehog at all, even the Mario Kart clone was boring to no end, it's funny there are games that simply could never be good enough, FFXIV might be one of those!...

Sonic Mania was good

There is only one event that can possibly occur from this: The "Gotta Go Fast!" event. We all get Super Sonic movement speed buffs to race around Eorzea with. As a result, map changes are temporarily removed so it'd be like 1.0 and stuff.

P.S. I like the Sonic series myself, and do not hate any particular Sonic games as much as the usual "fan base" does, although some disappointments have been had... And no I do not mean Sonic Forces in its entirety, just its Super Sonic DLC.

Forces suffers from pure mediocrity. It's pretty fun, really gorgeous, but the levels are choppy and the story feels like someone took a pair of scissors and cut away important scenes and archs. It turns out, Sega is enforcing a new rule in that Sonic can't get too emotional, thus killing so much potential with Forces storyline. The avatar is truly the best part.

But, yeah, Mania is WAY better in every way and it being so good compared to the mediocrity of Forces proceeded to make Sonic Team look bad, despite them beimg the ones to make sure Sega gave them the greenlight.

Honestly, it's a bit of a mess.

Again, Yuji Naka hasn't been a part of Sonic Team in over a decade.

On subject of a Sonic themed tie-in, I can think of ways it could be written around from Sonic's lore (since dimension jumping is thing, and Sonic's been in multiple fantasy worlds) but I can't see Sonic related and designed stuff working in FFXIV unless it's meant to be a bit of a joke, much like with Alpha. I really don't think Sega would be into that with how hard they have been with reeling in the characters and have recently increased oversight on the cast's portrayals.

Even though I would gleefully grind out every reward possible because I'm a huge nerd for Sonic.

So chocobo racing except we're the chocobos?

Don't players already have that mindset with endgame dungeons? They all love to gotta go fast already.
