How I would make FF 14 Better

If they were only doing it in one or two languages, they could probably cover more. VA is very expensive between paying the actors and the studios they record in.

Oh yeah, I understand why its not. I just think it would be nice if the MSQ were fully voiced.

They can gladly take the german voice acting, no idea if the french one is good though.

I primarly play this game in French VA ever since hearing the first couple of English voiced scenes back in ARR. Its very, very good imo

f (looking at you, Love Rocket on WoW)

There was a guy on WOW that has been at that one mount for over a decade.. Youd think that after the first two or three years he'd get the message. That mount is what we call predatory practice, drop rate so absurdly low it keeps you playing..and paying...chasing a mount that has less than a .05% chance for TEN YEARS.

it shouldn’t require 12 years with 40 toons to get

658 times last year for me alone and I didn’t get it

4. MORE VOICE ACTING! It takes me out of the MSQ when I hear my own voice.. There shouldn't be any reason why every CS doesnt have Voice acting.. I dont get it.

The cost is prohibitive, the resources needed are quite large, starting with the actual VA and then all the work after that.

3. Holiday Events are so subpar, Put some effort into these events than just 5 mins quest line... I dont even consider these events.. just a quest line. I seen so much better Holiday events in other MMOS... Come on YoshyP..

Once upon a time (meaning 2.x series) the events were actually around 10 quests long, and story NPCs would show up in the questline. The first Heavensturn was the year of the Horse, and Haurchefant showed up in a horse outfit around the end of it (to point out how silly people were being). I think the Admiral showed up for the original Moonfire Faire, Raubahn and the Sultana for the original Little Ladies Day, Kan-E-Senna to the Easter/Christmas events...etc. I think they lowered the size of them down because a number of casual players felt they took too long (they barely took an hour back then).

We still regularly see the leaders of the city states, but they have been putting them in these optional quests recently where you can choose up to 6 cut scenes to view or letters to read.

Oh, I believe it. I was farming it every year back when I played WoW too. Never even saw it drop. (Or a number of other rare drops, like Invincible, the Raven Lord, Mimiron's Head, or any of the mounts from Firelands or Dragon Soul, but those aren't seasonal events, at least.) And I knew plenty of people who never saw drops for other mounts, like the Headless Horseman's horse or the two Brewfest mounts.

Having played other MMOs where holidays are a two-week-long grind-fest of repetitive dailies and seasonal boss fights with absurdly low drop rates on the good stuff (looking at you, Love Rocket on WoW), I much prefer the simple, to-the-point events we get here.

LOTRO seasonal events are actually extremely expansive and don't involve RNG. For example, Midsummer is two weeks (I think?) and just involves a main quest line where you help plan a wedding and get to be a part of the ceremony + repeatable quests to get event currency (theres like 10-15) that take place across the entire interior of Minas Tirith (like it's enormous, look up a map if you're curious and all of the buildings pretty much have their own fully decorated interiors as well). The prize pool is also like 10 pages long and features all previous Midsummer rewards on top of new ones. All you need to do is get currency and exchange for things, no locking things behind boss drops. There's also milestone rewards for doing x amount of quests during the festival. I've never loved an event as much as that, it's truly magical (especially if you're a LOTR fan).

FFs events could take a page or two from them ngl, even if it means we get less of them. At least they would be stuffed full of things to do and rewards that aren't locked behind the cash shop. Anyone curious should join LOTRO during one of the four major seasonal events (Spring Festival, Midsummer Festival, Harvestmath Festival and Yule Festival..could also include the Farmers Faire ig), they're not level locked so after the tutorial you should get the info on how to join.
