Valentione's event - Is the maze back?

They used to put effort into events now it's just a visual novel.

Came here to post this. FFXIV events are basically just visual novels now where all you do is run around talking to NPCs. Nothing fun or engaging allowed.

Almost forgot to do the christmas event, finished it in 4 minutes before reset..... lol -_-;

No. Please understand

...speak with 3 random npcs, speak with 3 random npcs, speak with 3 random npcs...

Not even that anymore. Now they're all like: "WoL, I have a proble- no I don't. kthxbye."

I'm not even kidding, feel free to skip cutscenes on this one too.

You would think that by already having it implemented it’s not a big deal to include it. But apparently it is.

Novel? More like a comic strip. (minus anything clever or funny)

Well, this is an issue a few of us have been trying to point out for a while now, but those of us who noticed kept getting responses like "events/tribes were never too exciting". Yes, well, events and tribes were never exactly savage tier content-very observant of some of you to repeatedly keep pointing out, however, events and tribes were never this consistently dull either. Tribes yes, sometimes a quest really was just talking, but most of the other ones had you actively running out and doing something and or fighting something too. This last time however, it was 90% just talking.

Events ....the Christmas one was gorgeous! but if you get down to the core of what exactly it really was...it was just talking. They spent so much time making that big beautiful instance that unfortunatelyyy.... they forgot to give us something to actually do in it aside from take pictures. Last Valentines we got no maze either, nor did we have any notable easter doings-no chicken catching with the nets, nothing. Now we get to THIS Valentines day..again, no maze. Nothing but talking.

First you make me talk to wok lamel 52 times, now you're making me walk and talk to other strangers endlessly-all I'm saying is, I thought this was some sort of video game I was supposed to be playing. I thought I'd be pressing buttons, looking at my hotbar, getting some sort of dopamine rush. Mmmm doesnt seem to be the case! I just keep reading stuff. I log into my FFXIV book and I read it. One could mistake my gaming PC for a kindle currently, with the direction FFXIV keeps going.

Let's be more considerate of players who want to play a video game for the next holiday event, ok?

It would be nice if ALL previous event mini games came back for each of their related seasonal events. Same goes for seasonal special FATES, too.

Maybe add prizes similar to the Moogle Tomestone Event thing to further incentive players to try out these old events/FATES, since SE more than likely won't let the dev team re-release old seasonal event prizes that are now unfortunately stuck forever on the cash shop.

Ikr? They already created the mini games and special zones. The events are each once a year. Just let us do something? Where is the logic putting in all the work, show us the minigame ONCE and then hide it away?

Also this novel was kinda lame. There could have been an actual duel for the sake of the cursed roses and love and whatever. Could have been super sappy and all that jazz.
