How I would do Starlight Celebration

[Miguel85NYC]

I like the little festival area they opened up for this one but theres nothing to do there.

Yeah what's the point of the new area if they not gonna do nothing with it...

A good spot for people who like to do screenshots but there isn’t much more to it.

I think it would contribute positively to the game if every event added something small to the game that was going to be there to stay once the event was done. Maybe they'd put more work into the events if they didn't start from the idea that it is going to be only in the game for two weeks and then discarded to never be seen again.

The area feels like a true little clearing in the forest. It feels cozy and genuine, something I just don't get from any DT area. The upper side walks are such and nice detail, and down at the festival, there's so many little details and colors. I'll be legit sad when it's gone.

You're not wrong: There's nothing else to do, but I still wanted to appreciate how lovely the little area is.

I wonder if leaving an unused alt logged out in the zone would allow access to the space like the Blunderville lol.

I need to try this. I'll report back when the time comes.

Agree!
I replied quickly without developing but I found that the area was quite gorgeous too. And more crowded with decorations than previous years, so I thought it was a benefit from the graphic update (they can put more details on screen).

I find it crazy that people actually complain about having to play in a video game... " you forcing me to play a video game!?"

if all they want to do is read then go play the library simulator game.

In the devs' haste to water down gameplay and enable an almost entirely solo experience in an online game, I genuinely think some people have forgotten they're playing an MMO and not a chat room with some combat-based side content.

And I don't think FFXIV has ever had any seasonal-based rewards that required grinding that you couldn't complete in under an hour.

Awesome idea, OP! It would be nice to get something like this for all the events, so we have more to do with them after completing the event's story quest.

I mean, i advocate for having the vendor be updated every year with past rewards and new rewards like every other mmo. the way square does it is scummy as hell, putting it on the store? really?

Used to be like that back in ARR and I think Heavensward, too. You could get the previous year's rewards, but ONLY last year's reward along with the current year's. That was the way of it until all previous year rewards were locked to the mogatation.

IT WORKED! I'M SO HAPPY!
