Risa night time

I realise this is not the most popular topic, but I do believe that like me there are plenty of people that enjoyed seeing the environment on Risa change from day to night and were quite disappointed to see it removed with no sign of it ever being restored to that original design. Here I would like to provide my opinion as to why it was important.

It has been over two years since night time was removed from Risa due to material issues with lighting 2.0, but there are still now fireworks going off in the daytime, with NPC's pointing at the daytime fireworks going off in the bright blue sky which is a reminder of the once beautiful night now missing.

So when does Risa's original design of smooth transitioning from day and night design become a priority? I realise the Game Devs are quite busy, which begs me to wonder - when?
When does Risa's night become priority? It is a map seen by many people (new & old) for the bulk of the Summer for long durations.
The shift from day to night was not only an interesting experience, but it also provided an essential visual aesthetic change. It gave our eyes an ever changing feel, which made the environment feel more lively. Plus it just looked really cool to experience an environment that changed while dancing on the dance floor.
Felt like a real party we were all taking a part in.

    First this is a FCT, please refer to the list of FCT that was kindly posted above. I would love to see that sort of thing return as well but in a nutshell Tacofangs tells us why things are they way they are in the thread above. Your answer as to why it hasn't been done is there. /thread
