Let's Go! Vana'diel Day [May - Spawn Killing/Head Shotting Moogles]

Oh I wasn't bitching; that wasn't the intent anyway. I really am glad they give us something extra, even if only for a single day. I was throwing in feedback from my own perspective is all, though in hindsight, reading the post again, it does look like I was more agitated than I really was. I think sarcasm has that effect, though. Sorry about the confusion. Thank you for not being rude like many of the others dog-piling around here.


Well, everyone seems to want it filled and buried, so I may as well help dig that hole a little deeper by explaining my position. Firstly, yes, it was my own fault I didn't read the whole thing. I saw it say the 15th, and because the post was small, obviously didn't see a wall of listed features as these events normally do. As for the red, I was viewing the site on another monitor whose colors have been messed up since I started using a VGA->HDMI adapter, so it didn't exactly stand out at a glance like red ought to. Also, to clarify, not reading something does not correlate to the inability to read.

Anyway, I shouldn't have to be suspicious and read through the rest of a post to see if it has conflicting dates when the very first line says when it's supposed to be. I read the beginning, expected that information to be applicable to its readers, and moved on back to doing other things. I imagine a thread in any forum would suffer backlash if it were to say something in the beginning and then give differing information in the end.


Actually, I do understand how time zones work. I even implied as much in the post.
Here's the thing, it's an inconsistency not found in the other news posts on the site. Regardless of Japan's time zone, other posts state the time and date applicable to the site's region (EU, US, etc.), often before any potential red text. They give the information for the target audience that most affects them. This makes sense because they likely translate not just the text from the original Japanese news post, but amend it to make sense to the region viewing it.

This particular news did not follow that same pattern, is the gist of it. It would be like a rock band on tour, talking to their audience in Stockholm about their local attractions to build some camaraderie. Then, when they go to play in Paris and Berlin, rather than talk of their local sights, they they still mention Stockholm's instead. It's an oddity is all.



Anyway, I simply wanted to state in my first post of this thread that those of us in Europe and North America will have to anticipate the new event being on the 14th. I shouldn't have to defend my perspective, but I'm forgetting that this is the internet where one cannot say something without expecting others to lash out. That being said, I've said my piece (and then some), and it's not worth my time to reply here any further if people are only looking for an excuse to antagonize, encourage such behavior, and possibly bicker.
