Thank You For The Rising Event *Spoilers*

[Oichi]

One man's trash is another man's treasure my dude

So true
As shown to us in game too by the Kojin Tribe, for whom every flotsam and jetsam in the Ruby Sea is something rich and strange... something precious.

They made you pick up trash from the beach...

Save a world from some giant monstrosity, and the immediate next quest is picking up garbage off of a beach. It's like I'm back in ARR all over again.

The messages were cute, though.

To be fair its a nice metaphor to celebrate how they picked up the trash v1 was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This event was really heartwarming and as simple it may was, its top tier in my heart.

This is without a doubt my favorite seasonal event. Reading all these messages from the Dev team fills me with such joy I feel like crying.

It is amazing the care and consideration you put into this game and I sincerely appreciate these events where we can interact with the Devs in this way.

<3 <3 <3 Love this game!

Thank you!

It was really nice, but still not quite the same level of feels that the 2015 Rising was - I don't think Yoshi and SE will ever be able to top the Eighteenth Floor.

Still, this year's one was poignant and really nice.

I really wish they stopped doing these rng cutscenes, make it like that one winter event where you had a daily quest which always had a new scene.

Since the letters can be repeated, it might break the emotional build up. So, I read it all from http://garlandtools.org/db/#quest/69197 instead.

Thank you yoshi and team for the wonderful game!! T_T

But please give us the cutscenes in the neverending journal!!!

And thank you for the link!! It didn't cross my mind that they would add so many messages :O

Only, but really the only downside was the rng involved in those events.

Other than that i can only agree to what has been said.
Thank you for your hard work devs. This event was very touching and moving on a emotional level, reading all these letters.

Gotta say, i cried on the minion letter and had pretty much a warm feeling inside on every other letter i read.

Did you really do 21 cutscenes for this? After making a chart i get a feeling we have 21 letters to read.
If so. Huge kudos to you!

Greetings
Aoi

Edit: the stage in uldah needs some ground fog though. Would be a nice addition for possible screenshots IMHO :3 (You did that with stage fog in 2015? 2016? cant remember. That was cool)

Edit2:

18 Cutscenes!

Spoiler about how many are there. Huge respect dev team. Loved every letter <3

[Ibuki-]

You're welcome! It's heartening to know others enjoyed reading the letters too

I legit cried. I've been here from the beginning and I know they really have put blood, sweat and tears into this. The amount of care that the developers have for this game and for us means the world to me. People can call me a fangirl all they want to. I do not care. This is our game. Mine and yours, the dev team, the sound team, the art team, the everybody that put this together team. This is one of the only games where I feel like that. They give us love and I feel like we give it back and I am happy to be here until the next calamity and we are reborn into the next realm.
