Hatching-Tide: Case-Cracked 5/9

[Sojiro]

I enjoyed the event and what it tried to do. Much improved over the last holiday. I just don't like that half of it was a blog instead of in the game.

I can give you that, while I don't mind reading it off lodestone, I think the better approach would have been incorporating it in the game. Still, I think the event was pretty good overall, it wasn't something that took a long time or was super deep, but it did give players something to do (which is currently lacking in game) and a goal to go after, and had a touch of lore to boot.

Well said, and most importantly, this story is presumably still going and may unfold into more important stuff incoming, based on the end of the post on the lodestone.

I hope what i said made sense.. about the updates being made into stories, such as mob re-scaling, etc.

There is bound to be an LS called Organization XIII and to get in you have to have a Black Velveteen Cowl.

F that.

I'm almost beginning to think the Development Team's efforts are wasted on this current community. They listen. They create a holiday event that is multi-stage, multi-faceted, and not only ties into the lore of the world, but adds to it!

And the response from the community is ... ingratitude?? Really??

Screw this noise. SE, next holiday give us the bells. We apparently can't appreciate anything else.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

SE, while scrambling to fix the core components of this game, gives us an arguably good seasonal event and people still complain about it. They are trying to keep some semblance of normality amidst all the changes they are working on.

All you whiney children out there: just please unplug your keyboards and go do something else.

Shhhh don't call them whiny children, they are going to try to defend themselves!

You're not paying for this game monthly so how can they "cut costs" and "cut corners" when they're losing money daily getting this project up to speed? All of XI's events had a story then in-game stuff, none of that story should be present in game because it's a simple event, not a storyline quest.

Never justify a lack of quality by saying this game is free to play again. It is free to play because it's an inferior product. Not because they need an excuse to make more inferior product.

I'll concede that they do have bigger things to worry about, so I'm not all up in arms about how it has to be changed now etc etc. But when most of the other major changes and fixes are out of the way, I would still like them to focus on quality of in game story and lore through more interactive gameplay. Reading walls of text for quests and Bolg posts about stuff that happens in game is so non-Final Fantasy. So in the short term I'm OK with it while they fix things, but in the long run I definately want to have animated CS and interactive gaming experience in regards to storyline and lore.
