The event is now live. :O

Other MMO events usually respect the brain of the playerbase and let them actually play the game instead of watching cutscenes for 20 minutes for a freebie reward.

Too true, man. What a disappointment this event has been.

Looks like it fits this community perfectly to me, looking at how happy people are that they get to watch the same movie back to back non stop for multiple hours for a mount or a pet at the end, the players are at fault for the mediocrity of the events in FFXIV, because the standards are non existent

You and I may disagree a lot, but a majority of the players in this game is actually just like Vel, they are a good image of the playerbase as a whole.

I don't know about ESO as I have never been to one of their seasonal events but uh.... the events in WoW have been almost the exact same for the last 19 years. That's... not exactly respectful of to the brains of the playerbase to make them farm the exact same bosses and activities for 19 years with a very rare occasional small addition.

False.

They added a lot of small events, called micro events or something like that, that are actually brand new, dont last long, a day or a few days, but are pretty recurrent, the old ones though are pretty much the same yes, but they added a lot of new micro events.

WoW and many others MMO, the same boring quest to farm because you need tokens. The first year you ride a goat is fun, the second year a lot less, the third year you hope there are not new reward so you don't need to do that quest anymore.

You can skip.

Some actually enjoy the cutscenes. Some actually play for the cutscenes. The MSQ is roughly 90% cutscene. Making you watch cutscene =/= disrespect.
It's really mind-blowing how bizarre some of yall complaints are. It's like ragebait. And yet here I am biting. LOL

Beware the multi-toon sockpuppets. Some have nothing better to do than to nitpick wording in vain attempt to get a rise out of others.

it must be very hard to do that when for the last few months we have had nothing but "noise", static, abuse and a small clique of people shouting down anyone who dared disagree with their harsh, cynical, jaded and utterly hostile attitude.

I was actually surprised some of the more...vitriolic..people were allowed to go on for this long. To my mind, what we see now with those "voices' gone is more conducive to actual communication on game issues. I have never been one for harsh moderation, but to my mind? in this case a broom was sorely needed.

Maybe in the future we will see more better avenues for them to talk to us now a more...pleasant....atmosphere prevails.

Ive done both parts of the Rising now, it was wonderful and uplifting. The mount is magnificent. Maybe, before we look at what they have to say and ask why they dont talk to us, ask yourself if recently they had any reason to do so

I get feedback, i get dissatisfaction in some areas of the game, sure. Nothing is perfect, it never will be.

FF 14 isnt perfect, but it is again heads and tails better than a lot I have seen over the years . I for one respect YoshiP and his team, they have worked tirelessly to give us a damned enjoyable gaming experience. There has been, to my knowledge, never been an event like this in other MMO's...so with all respect to my colleagues and fellow Warriors of Light...I submit that communication is a two way street.

Bro acting like anyone who wants the game to improve and speaks negatively about its direction are all part of a secret clique that needs to be eradicated.
This post of yours ain't the W you think it is. Makes you look unhinged.

Whatever your opinion on legacy can you imagine 2023 square enix actually making an event like the rising 2018

Yeah lets just recreate half the world from legacy including it’s world events, music and the fall of dalamud and just make it a seasonal event you can do

Were we playing different versions of the game back then? All I recall them "recreating" was a horde of monsters in the middle of present-day Ul'dah.

Where was I supposed to go for this half a world of legacy content?

Actually, there is a way you can get that content, but I don't think they would do that because of technical reasons but New Game + would be a good place imo.
