Sooooo about sightseeing...

[NekoMataMata]

There's no way I'm the first person saying this and I probably won't be the last but wow, is ARR sightseeing a dumpster fire. And it shows considering that after ARR there's no specific times or weathers for the sightseeing locations in any expansion after it.

But that's fine because there's a really nice website that helps with it a lot by making a sort of schedule out of it. Maybe not fine, but tolerable.

Oh, but then they decided to hide 60 out of 80 of the ARR logs behind unlocking the first 20.

I just wanted something from ShB, and I ended up on this completionist road. I'm now finished with all of the ShB vistas, and with most of the SB ones too, and I still have 3 vistas from the first 20 ARR listings to do. Why did they choose to gate 60 time locked vistas behind the first 20? Don't you know how much progress I could've made if I was able to work on them alongside the first 20?

Probably logging off and hopefully getting the other three later but I feel like it's going to end up being really awkward when I finish the majority of the sightseeing log and there's just these awkward 60 vistas from ARR that I end up setting timers for while I do other things.

Maybe that was the plan all along though. SE didn't want us running around scratching vistas off our lists from HW-EW while we waited on the ARR ones, they wanted to keep us in game for as long as possible.

Like everything in ARR, they tried things, they improved the parts of it that were a disaster in the expansions but didn't fix it in ARR itself.

But I do like the idea that the sightseeing log is actually challenging in ARR. It's completely braindead to do it in the expansions. It's even less challenging in ARR now because of how most of the jump puzzles were nerfed by flying.

Here you go!

My sister and I were working on these about two years ago. It was an adventure. The whole thing is obtuse AF but we made memories so it ended up balancing somewhat? If you can do these with someone else, I'd recommend doing that.

My biggest gripe about sightseeing is that if nobody's ever told you that the weather changes at exactly 0000, 0800, and 1600 Eorzea Time regardless of how long it takes the weather widget to reflect the updated weather, you might think that a sightseeing log is available when it's not because the weather doesn't visibly change until a few Eorzea minutes after the hour and wonder why the vista never works for you when the use /lookout while it looks like the correct weather at the time the window is supposed to open.

Thank you for making it though, I guess.

There's more than one site that tracks these. I had no idea which one of those you were talking about, and I just posted the one we used. I'll just keep from sharing next time.

I mean I don't mean to be rude. I'm grateful that you and your sister made it. It's just the comment felt like a humble brag, if that?

didnt seem like a brag at all. you came here to complain that the ARR sightseeing is a chore and they had done it and supplied information that helped them, plain and simple. they even noted it was a nice experience to do with a partner if you could.

I didn't complain that it was necessarily a chore? And as I pointed out, I mentioned that I already knew of a site that I was using to help, which is why I felt like said comment was a brag.
