So this year's Rising quests are about planning the fireworks display, asking Lominsian citizens what they'd like to see, etc. During a cutscenes from the first quest in the chain, I was unfortunate enough for a fireworks display to start in-game, you know, before I've even organised it in the quest progression...

I'm not sure if these are timed or whatever, but how am I supposed to feel immersed or take the quest seriously? I'm the one supposed to be putting the fireworks display together and I haven't yet. But it's happening.

Couldn't they have turned off the fireworks for people who've not done the quests yet? The technology is there - the skies on the First are different for people depending on their ShB quest progression. Or had this quest (the preparations) take place outside Limsa, where fireworks wouldn't be seen? Or have the cutscenes pre-rendered, so random world events wouldn't automatically take me out of the make-belief that my character is doing something?

I know, I know, this is a tiny, tiny issue in the grand scheme of things, but to me it yet again demonstrates that no one is properly managing the game anymore. No one thinks of these simple things that can go wrong. No one is seemingly play testing in different conditions... And I think that's very disappointing in an already disappointing expansion.
