Thank you to YoshiP and the devs for the Rising

[Connor]

I’ve always felt like the Rising Events were touching ones that remind you of the real people behind the game. It’s easy to see ‘developers’ as a single homogenous entity lol, but like anyone else they’re just people doing their best with what they have. The game has its flaws as all things do but even now I still enjoy the game regardless of the things I’d like to see changed.

Honestly, having played since 1.0 one thing I can definitively say is that the forums overall simply do not reflect the overall community in game. I rarely (if ever) see the kind of pettiness and negativity you’d expect if you had read the forums but not played the game (though that would also be kinda weird lol).

And with so many people opting to play contrarian / trolling, it’s no wonder these forums are a godless place lol

Thank you for another event and I appreciate the personal letters. I have never seen that in any other game and having Yoshi P in a cut scene was great.

I enjoyed these quests.

Anyone know the name of the orchestration for the softer version of Answers? Was considering turning my house into a monk temple and it would be a cool echoy song for the background.

Also really liked this event, and the letters reminding some that there are real people with feelings working on this game.

The version of Answers may have been Answers - Reprise. It played during the final moments of FFXIV, just before Dalamud fell (and a bunch of level 99 Atomos appeared in the
middle of Ul’dah because why not lol)

At least they acknowledge the forums still exist.

"Like a lodestone" no, it's not the forums, that's the person who runs the lodestone, a board, with messages on it.

Who even read the letter forest? They're all so generic it might as well be copied from store bought holiday greeting cards

Thank you! I'll look for this.

I read all of them. And I've never seen a greeting card with messages like this, but why am I even responding to a troll alt?

This years rising hit hard af just wanna say the dev team and yoshi-p really hit the 4th wall with this years rising and the fade the black screen message was happy to be apart of this years rising.

I thought the "Kupo Kupo Adventure" minigame was fun. That was new for this year, right? It doesn't last long, but it's a nice effort to give us an actual activity to do outside of "talk to NPCs until they stop talking and give you your prize." And it seems like you can play it any time at the Toy Chest in your inn room, it doesn't just vanish from the game after the event is over. That gets a thumbs up from me.

As have said elsewhere.... I want a Smartphone version of it!
