FF 16 cross over event... A HUGE DISPOINTMENT

[Hanayumi]

Yoshi P didnt want to spoil much, so it ended up pretty resticted and bland. That being said, post PC launch of FFXVI wouldnt mind if they added more to it...

Well said! I completely agree with you. I like to do activities to earn the rewards.. they could've made ifrit farmable to get some of the scrolls instead they put them in the Gold Saucer...

There are no shortage of posts on this forum complaining about the FF15, FF16, or Yokai Watch events among other things. People forget one key thing: this is Final Fantasy XIV by Square Enix. You can't expect Blizzard levels of content in this game.

Every single event from the beginning of the game to now has been this, except this one at least has a boss fight with some kind of mechanic in it, if anything it's above average for an FFXIV event... do you even play the game?

Agreed. Apart from the Fall Guys, Yokai Watch, Garo, Dragon Quest, or Monster Hunter events, FFXIV has always been about getting your gear quickly so you can go back to your idle spot and play other games. Especially considering that this is a cameo for another Final Fantasy game. I mean, how much material could they possibly be working with? This isn't the same company that made FF1 through 10. Did anything notable even come from FF16 besides how badly it impacted Endwalker? Do we really need to see more from Clive of all people?

"Silent Hill" seems like it would be a lore-appropriate Hellsguard Roegadyn name, like Curious Gorge or Hoary Boulder.

I just did the event. Oddly enough, it actually exceeded my expectations. Unlike the XV collab event, this one actually got me interested in XVI. It's still not going to make me go out and buy it, though, as I would also have to dump cash into purchasing a PS5. The gaming industry, particularly Sony continue to hit the accelerator towards the iceberg with all the censorship, ESG, and DEI BS, that I just can't justify spending money on anything new. My recent purchases towards games have all been older games such as Metroid Prime Remastered, NieR: Automata, and Super Meat Boy. All for Nintendo Switch, and all having original releases prior to 2020. Even though I will be picking up the DT expansion, it is still something I consider to be a purchase towards an older game.

As for the event itself, there are some specific reasons why it was able to resonate with me. One reason was how it used Phoenix to tie the worlds together, which I thought was brilliant. The battle with Ifrit was also really good. Not as good as the fight with Garuda for the XV event, but still engaging and fun. Clive is also very handsome. It was a good thing G'raha wasn't around to see my character's reaction to his presence, lol. I can even see his thoughts, "Wait a min... I traversed time itself, sacrificed my body and soul multiple times, pledged myself to her cause, bled with her. And all this guy had to do was show up??" Sorry kitty. Two words: Friend zoned.

Most of all though was his amnesia. I am currently writing a science-fiction-ish story and my MC suffers from retrograde amnesia as well, and for similar reasons (subconscious protecting the heart from past traumatic events). I just find it really crazy all the coincidences I keep running into when it comes to writing it.

At leas the Ifrit vs. Ifrit could have been a controllable part instead of a cutscene.

Playing as other characters during solo duty is not new to this game.

It was as long as it needed to be. You got a nice mount from it. Even that was more than I was expecting.
