Final Fantasy XV's Moogle Chocobo Carnival Is Just the Dumbest Thing

It's something like the Golden Saucer in FFXIV.

On the one hand I appreciate that they're trying to keep the game ticking, but... this isn't Destiny. This isn't Final Fantasy XIV. You have to ask if this is really worth it - are there really THAT many players who'll dive right back into Final Fantasy XV just to give this a go for five minutes and then get bored? How much did this cost to make? How much effort did it take? It really is bemusing.

I like the look of it, will definately check it out

I think it looks fun personally. Happy for them to include special events like this. The additional content included on the season pass will (should) be more substantial, but this maintains interest between dlc drops. I think that Square have seen the interest this kind of thing brings in ff14 and want to try and replicate here

This whole "FFXV took 10 years to make" thing is kind of annoying. From the moment FFXV was announced, it took 3 years to come out. Obviously people are referring to when Versus was first announced, but that game was effectively cancelled then the elements from it repurposed to contribute some unknown amount to FFXV. It's kind of like saying your table took 300 years to make because that's how old the tree was that the wood came from.

Also, it's a bit odd how some people are complaining about this but the internet was practically ready to set up a new religion when CD Projekt Red did stuff like release about 3 haircuts, most/all of which were already in TW2 but were somehow removed from TW3 only to be put out as a "bonus" DLC thing.

@BloodyBill IV? You mean VII, right? Or was it a typo of XIV? I do remember reading a while ago they were adding FFVII's Golden Saucer into XIV. It's a nice idea.

Sounds like something to break up the grind fest , which I'm all for . so annoying to level up after level 50, trying yo get to level 70 minimum before taking the last section. I reached the end before and was only 48 and locked in insomnia with level 70+ enemies

My only concern is why have it end so soon? I need to go look for mythril at the freakin other end of the map to fix the boat, at this rate I won't be anywhere near Altisia before the carnival goes away, and if that's the case I'm going to be SO #$%^^$##.

Everybody is complaining about the time and effort to make something like this. Well I think something like this is kind of cool, but why go to the trouble to make something like this that is only going to be around for 3 weeks.

Where's the 60 fps patch squareenix, why they're wasting time on all this

I'm not a fan of timed content in any non-mmo game, but I see no harm in this. It almost certainly didn't take a lot of dev cycles either.

@rjejr Unless you won't fast travel, that shouldn't take more than an hour or two of playtime.

Not sure where the moaning comes from, the general consensus online is massively positive. Can't wait!

@Shellcore I know, but I only get to play a couple of hours a day, and some days I don't play at all b/c I have a family and friends and other things to do. I was really enjoying just taking my time seeing the sights and doing the sidequests, but now I feel I have to rush if I want to see the carnival which for no reason whatsoever ends 3 weeks after it beings. They should have just left in going. Or built in an on-off option for people that do'n' want to see it. I'm just annoyed.

Because japan.

<<insert gif here of 5 people dressed as pikachu dancing on stage>>

Its a free update. What does it matter how much or how much effort it costs?

It looks bonkers and fun being clearly fan service to the golden saucer. I dont see what the problem is?

@johnny30 @kyleforrester87 also use rare coins to create level 99 expiracast magic, you can get upwards of 30K experience from most fights when combined with the right meal.

This looks fun though, I'll definitely be giving it a go and hopefully there is even more to do outside of the shooting, fishing and chocobo racing. I don't remember people complaining about the Gold Saucer on FFVII and this looks to be in the same vain

@carlos82 D'oh, ive been selling all the rare coins I find!

@get2sammyb Has a point. His clearly took a chunk dev time a resources to make. Would those resources been better spent on the core experience? YES. On the other hand it is Japan so...

@3Above It was probably made by newer employees that weren't allowed to work on the main game. I think a lot of these little side things are. It's like if you start working in a kitchen and they only let you make desserts or sauces. Basically, it doesn't mean time or effort is being taken from elsewhere.

I platinumed XV and this honestly gives me no interest to return to play it.

Looks like fun but but... Where are the bros? I want to date Ignis

I think it's cool and a nice little touch, as long as they are still working on the frame pacing issues and some gameplay elements. Don't know why everyone is complaining.

It almost feels like they were told to get the game out and then add what they wanted to it... Or there's some significant season pass content coming and they want to keep the game relevant until then...

It looks bad, but I'll give it a quick shot

I like the look of it just some dumb fun

Wow, salt.

@Matroska
Yes typo, meant FFXIV Gold Saucer.

blah was gonna write a long thing but frig it! I love this game

@wiiware It's strange there's no news about this.

@Matroska True that does seem more likely.
