    No decorations on the ferry this year

    I know that very few people take the ferry these days, but I was really looking forward to the return of the fireworks and decorations we had last year.



    It was a nice added touch to the event.

    I wonder if they just forgot to active them again this year?

    It's depressing. This game feels like it's moving away from the real time travel. What ever happened to our airship rides yoshida said we'd have the option of selecting? (was it something we have to wait for 2.0 for?)

    I hope this isn't a sign that they've given up on things like that. Those decorations were really just one of the 'little things' that added unique aesthetic to the game. It'd be cool to see more.

    To be honest I really feel as though all forms of transportation outside of anima should be realtime travelling even if its only a few minutes. If you want to go to a city in half a second you should have to spend anima on it instead of getting there by paying a measely gil fee and skipping 2 cut scenes.

    srsly?

    They already said the focus on resources is on 2.0, I would only be worried if they spent too much time on this stuff and not enough on a quality 2.0 launch.

    Because switching on the decorations from last years event is a labor intensive task right? I sure hope they don't waste time fliping light switches either.

    As if this were the only complaint on their plate. Prioritize.

    I agree. Also the decorations were done why not use them?!

    Serious question: What do you gain by this?

    Time is not challenge, time is not skill, time is simply time. What benefit is there to anyone in requiring additional time for the game to automatically complete something for you? You already have the option of walking there/riding your chocobo if real-time travel increases your immersion. What do you hope to gain by forcing me to either wait or spend anima, too?
