| I know of three April Fool's jokes that Square Enix did. The first one I actually got an email about, lending it some credibility: https://www.finalfantasyxivonlinego.com. It's really pretty! But obviously a fake. Some of the Global players thought this was a waste of resources better spent on improving the actual game, but I dunno, I rather liked seeing this. And then there was FFBE Global's prank: they announced wave battles, a marathon battle session with 365 stages. I thought this was rather mean, especially since in their "announcement" they said that they had listened to the fans and were granting one of their wishes. Wave battles are indeed something the player base has been asking for, so I thought it was mean to tease the fans about it. I said on Twitter that I thought folks would be unhappy with this joke. I haven't had time to finish reading the thread about it on the FFBE forums, but the start of the thread, before the joke was revealed, showed people apprehensive it wouldn't be true. I wouldn't be surprised if Square Enix pulled more pranks yesterday for their other games. Anyone know of any? |
