Worst Summer Event EVER

[LilimoLimomo]

I've actually played the event quests now, and personally I think it was one of the better event quests. The story was silly and didn't insist on itself too much, and it was short enough to not wear out its welcome. I had a good time.

Yeah, seasonal events are generally like that. They're more or less just a quick little diversion.

With stuff from past seasonal event, they used to have an NPC selling old stuff back in the day, but once they moved to putting seasonal event items and rewards on the mogstation, that was a wrap.

I really miss the days when events were actual events and weren't quick 10-minute distractions that hand you a reward and then you completely forget about them.

They always do this at the Moonfire that comes out shortly after the expansion. It ends up being every other year we have a "big" event for the summer. I think it's pretty silly to do it that way, but SE loves to never change.

I think part of the reason for that pattern is the volatile nature of seasonal content in FFXIV. I imagine the same team that handles all the other side quests for the big x.0 release also has to do the first half year of events during that crunch so them half-assing a couple of quests that are headed straight to the woodchipper after their three weeks of relevance is kind of understandable.
They might put more care into these if they came back each year for the folks who haven't already done them, though that would cut into the online store profits so we can't have that.

Yeah. If they only the game had an ever growing subscriber base and made more money so they could put more people onto it. Oh wait...

Cant wait for next year when the emote will sell like hot cakes on the mog station.

the last memorable seasonal event was that one where you play seneschal to that dead girl's spirit during little ladies' day back in stormblood. p sure they've just been cutting down on them ever since.

Yea its the worst this time, i checked the wiki for the last 10 years it was always a glam and 1x a mount, but now only a lazy ass emote which doesnt even look great? square starts to get lazy, and i dont care about the quest i only care for the reward, and the reward was like i said lazy as hell

[Kuroka]

Or of those emotes at least loop...
