Thank you for your input! We'll definitely be working on giving some breathing room between events and letting a month go between two huge events at least. Regarding endgame, there are ways to slow down and stop the Calamity, and the question of the submarine was answered this week (they have to be stolen from Nabila City). It is true that the characters have little to no knowledge regarding Crystallis, and they're not helped with incompetent NPCs like Wedge. This will progressively changed though now that somewhat more competent NPcs are introduced, and especially after the Anniversary event.

If we do implement the HMD, stay assured that it will be locked to the game and completely optional. We do understand your concern though, and will consider it when taking the decision.
