Great Fun with the "Living on a Prayer" Mission, thanks devs!

[Onizuka]

Greetings.

I would like to take a few minutes to write this post about the new “Living on a Prayer” quest and my main passion of Exploration, thanks if the community reps could forward it to the dev team.

This week I was planning a “final” exploration of Eorzea to find The Twelve's symbols, but with the quest asking to find them it was easier. Nevertheless, it was a Great Adventure.

Starting from Gridania I went to look for the marks just using my feet, and thanks to that I could feel the real Adventure.

It was a pleasure to revisit certain places like the Sandgate area or Pixie Falls. While I was in Thanalan I also saw the new aurora borealis weather condition: I started to admire it for a while, when I felt some rumbling and noticed imperial warships behind me!



So now those flying monstrosites can be seen near our city-states as well.
It was really unexpected when I got out of Limsa Lominsa's Adventurers' Guild and heard the rumble: I waited a few seconds and the warship appeared from the top of the Mizzenmast.



When I later arrived at Bluefog to reach Mor Dhona, I could also see Atomos.




I'll definitely talk more thoroughly on the whole Adventure in my journal in the next few days, but in the meantime I wanted to show some appreciation for the dev team's work in full summer time. Patch 1.23a was Great! I had already requested in the past to have new contents for us Explorers, and I hope more long missions like this will be added in A Realm Reborn.
The Dalamud Horn was also a nice reward for participating in the Seventh Umbral Era one-year long event.



And it's not over yet, as I still believe we'll battle Darnus in Weapon form before the end, like I predicted in the past.


For now, off to do the proper Atomos quest, while saving the “hot” ones (Hildibrand) for last.

The quest actually makes you appreciate the copy/paste landscapes because there is some really nice scenery out there.

It was a nice experience and got some nice screenshots while traveling. Thanks SE for a good job.

I was shocked when I stumbled upon an honest to god Saharan style desert, I had no idea we had something like that. I'm extremely satisfied with this quest, and I really hope it is the end of the story (for this era that is). It made for a very poignant conclusion.

Nice write up. It was fun going to some of these areas as I haven't fully completed the exploration achievements yet. I liked the secluded water area northwest of Crimson Bark the best I think.

I loved this quest too!

In particular, little details like this were a lot of fun to come across:



Great job, devs!
