Welp, Dragon Quest Event Was Disappointing

At least the cutscene is funny where the chicks come close to you

That event was originally made back in early ARR and hasn't been updated in any way since then.

IMO it was more of a Dragon Quest nostalgia piece.

I do wish they'd make a new one now with some new DQ series minions/mounts and maybe some character costumes or weapon glamours. Although in regards to costumes and glamours, some of them might look off due to the differences in art styles between the 2 games.

I feel for ya, but the single-page guide on the event specifically stated the three items you'd receive in exchange for doing a quest and two FATEs. I haven't seen all of the special events, since I'm fairly new (my first was Make it Rain this year), but the ones I have seen so far would lead me to believe that 'one quest and a couple items' can certainly be the entirety of content in a seasonal event.

As for it not being more 'Dragon Quest-y' I do agree. The DQ font on the 'quest accepted' was a cool touch, tho.

IMVHO if you're going to drop cash on something - anything - you should know what you're paying for. It's your prerogative to buy before knowing, but then you gotta own the remorse. /shrug

That is a fairly typical reward from a seasonal event, yes.
The content of the event, on the other hand, are usually a bit more involved than one simple FATE and a cutscene, which is about all this event has.

It's a rerun of an event from 2014. Are you expecting something more?

I have done it before, so no, I wasn't expecting anything else. I just noted that most other events has significantly more content. That, I am sure, includes most of the 2014 seasonal events.

By recollection, the Shantotto event was similarly hollow, though again this was six or so years ago. Lightning's was better however. Well, after the first section. First section was just Lightning joining us to fight Crabs in La Noscea. Can't recall every seasonal event from memory, so that's about it.

Here is an advice for you with the way XIV works: do not re-sub exclusively for an event. They are not worth it. (except if you reeeeaaally want the glam, which is advertised on the event's webpage)

Of all the crossovers I've seen this is the weakest.

Didn't do the first one for XI or the one for XIII.
