Valentines day event fail

[dinnertime]

I hope to the Twelve that the three options we have aren't constant like the Songbirds are, because none of them are really appealing and they're all equally disappointing to me. I highly doubt Astrid will be shelved, though.
If they're going to do something like this again, they should pick better representatives.

I did genuinely like Astrid's suggestion the best personally. However I still voted Bert because....BERT! 'Nough said. I did think his was the second best suggestion, though. I didn't like Rodrigault's suggestion at all personally.

Well, at least someone is happy about who won.

[Nedkel]

I blame dalamud dye pricecfor that.

Pretty meh event overall from the sounds of it. At least the hat and pants are neat.

I had completely forgotten who Marcette actually was. (I haven't done side quests on alts for quite some time.) Now I feel bad for having picked Astrid - on the characters that I did - in the first place.

Though, to be honest, all of their suggestions weren't too great, nor too terrible.

I went with one of each and went with Rodrigault a second time.

I think people are taking Rodrigault's comments out of context.

I think he more so saw Sylphie as a better matchmaker than Astrid? while Astrid is more childish and lovey dovy (and gave the wrong advice...oh dear) Sylphie is more like a little sister or niece who just wants to help her big brother or uncle find someone?

I went about it sort of the other way around; I liked the red version best, but Astrid was the most boring/obviously-expected choice so I went with Bert for meme potential. I paid attention to the story previously, but when the vote winner today ended up being Romance Loli I skipped the cutscenes for the continuation and wrote the event off.

[Cidel]

Wow, what a complete and utter surprise. /sarcasm

Was discussing this in my FC on the first day how obviously biased the quest/vote was towards Astrid on multiple levels. Even had a tinfoil conspiracy theory that the devs were so sweet on Astrid that they didn't bother making scenarios for either of the other two candidates even if they somehow accumulated more votes and could simply claim Astrid won on every server (surprise, surprise, she did) and nobody could actually verify if the votes reflected that. Even still though, wouldn't put it past the playerbase to vote purely on aesthetical reasons and subliminal encouragement towards Astrid from the quest itself anyway, so...

I skipped the cutscenes for the continuation and wrote the event off.

Ditto. Would have skipped this part of the event entirely but there's an achievement held hostage by it.
