New Event......really?

[fumofu]

I'm excited about this event, cos it's so great in every aspect. Story is fun and and totally love this event tower cos i'm big fan of jumping puzzles. And those reward glasses are just simply awesome!
We even got new emote! Totally not disappointed.

SE doing really good job on events, imo.

I am just happy that they did not make it so that we have to climb it completely..tried to reach the end for quite a lot of time but some of those jumps are exactly as bad as the Kugane tower one was..I just really wish we had more activites as a whole for the summer event. The idea itself is nice but the event was already over in like 10 minutes. Maybe a bit of more fun mini games?

(Would also be nice if they have "no mount"zone around this..nothing better than having to deal with people on mounts on top of all the annoyances of the jumps itself. Also lets kick people of it if they stay on one plank too long..already had people afk on some of the harder ones so that you cant really see it completely..)

At least they did not resort to the usual thing for events which is fates.
Finally they tried something different?
I have not tried yet but i do not mind the idea of jump puzzles

I had fun but felt that the quest was a little too short.
I was also hoping for some kind of time trial aspect to it to allow us to compete with one another, still, I had a good time!

Same here. I like jumping puzzle. The little backstory was nice. Maybe a little too short, and not much to do, but fun.

A lot better than FATE farming in any case.

I'm not a fan of anything jump related in this game due to the archaic jump system but this one didn't bother me as the jumps needed for the achievement are well within the game's capabilities. I am disappointed at the shortness of the activity as I recall past events having more to do. I guess I shouldn't be surprised as less quest/story related content has been the trend with each content pkg SE has put out since SB.

Personally, I thought the brevity of the event was great. Seasonal events are usually just worthless filler content I do for the rewards, so anything that doesn't feel the need to waste my time before it lets me have the seasonal items is great as far as I'm concerned.

I absolutely hate this event. I hate jumping puzzles. I am terrible at them. It's bad enough that the sightseeing log is locked behind getting those last 3 in Kugane. People with poor hand eye coordination CAN'T DO THESE. I spent 3 hours trying to do this. I want the glasses and the title, but no, it has to be a friggin' jumping puzzle. I would have liked ANYTHING but this.

if you know someone with a two seater mount, they should be able to do it for you. Just ride while they jump.

The basic jumping course isn't even all that terrible or hard to do once you get the general idea down of when and where you should be jumping. I've even done the easy course jumping on my Night Pegasus and my hand eye coordination isn't perfect either. I've seen people doing the jumps with the Midgard mount and that thing is incredibly bulky, same thing with the Fat Chocobo or Fat Moogle mounts (hilarious to see though).

The people arguing that it's too hard or that it's bad enough that the sightseeing log for Stormblood is locked behind Kugane Tower obviously hasn't done some of the awful jumping vistas in ARR where if you had gotten something wrong and the weather changed, welp....better wait a whole day or week until the opportunity comes back again!

Seriously, this is tame compared to Kugane Tower and I was beyond happy that the "bonus challenge" has nothing at the top or that the swimsuits and title weren't locked behind those jumps. I've done Kugane Tower, I did the entirety of the ARR Vistas, I've done my time SE.

It was refreshing to not see a FATE grind for the millionth time in a row, but I second Momomi's idea where a water gun or water balloon free-for-all and dodgeball like event would have been fun to do.
