They should keep the Starlight Celebration Musical Mini-game permanently

I saw the Developer Blog about the new event coming on the 18th, and after completing the quests unlocks a music mini-game.

The mini-game looks simple, but has a hard mode, and it would be a shame if it only stayed for the event. It would be nice if they could maybe after the event is over add the mini-game to the Gold Saucer, and add more songs to play. Even give MGP based on how well you did.

Didn't they upgrade the performance action to use this system for practice?

Went back to check a Previous Blog, and it looks similar to the performance action, except any job could do this mini-game besides Bard and you are scored based on it.

It feels like the performance action was something they could have extended to actually be a rhythm game. So it would be neat to also have it as a rhythm game in the Gold Saucer and not just be something to practice music for Bard.

I'm betting that like many of the seasonal minigames that it will be unlocked for those who complete the event.

Considering that the mini-game is a re-run from last year and we didnt get it back then, I doubt it - while we did get some minigames unlocked, there are also quite a few seasonal-games that stay excatly that: seasonal.

But maybe they could turn this one into a Gold Saucer minigame at somepoint - and add more than just a christmas carol.

Essentially the same minigame was available in last year's starlight event, but I can't see it in my toy chest. Perhaps SE will notice the demand and add it this time around.

Oh, didn't know it was available last year. I started playing this year.

It would be fun if they add it to the Gold Saucer. Maybe even score you based on how well you did, and have a weekly scoreboard for the top scoring players.

After seeing the new Hold feature for Starlight de Chocobo, and the timing, I think with some fine tuning this would make an excellent Gold Saucer mini game. That I'd never stop playing. I'm not sure if it's latency/framerate, but I keep missing what I know I should have gotten a hit on. And I can play games like Project Diva on harder difficulties just fine.

I'd love to keep this, but mainly if there's some tweaks on inputs.

I keep failing at it and use command right when it ovelays like says to do. Thinking its bad lag that keep making me miss. Wish they quit having this type quests. I know all mine should been hits and they all missed. They need rethink events for those that have bad lag.

It seems to me like the minigame allows the input to be quite a bit early, but misses if it's even a little bit late. This is different from typical rhythm games where the window is symmetrical. Try hitting the notes early, unnatural as that may feel.
