I've always had a hard time understanding how someone can be pulled out of immersion by something so miniscule. Must not have been very deep in the first place to be forced afloat from the likes of that.

If you want to learn more about Yo-Kai watch you should watch the intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_IXBklwka4
Japanese players: Hell yeah!
NA/EU: Oh hell no!
Yo-kai is really popular in Japan, and only recently hit the states and EU.
If we didn't get it, the threads would instead be you guys moaning about a JP only event, and other regions getting less content.
Get over it.
And, think of sponser deals like American Express this way: mainstream media and companies are now taking gaming seriously enough that paying for ads looks like a profitable venture. THAT IS A GOOD THING.
Well if it is advertising it fell on deaf ears for me, cause I will have have been the event but will never go investigate what "Yo-kai Watch" is.
I wonder what people's reaction would be if instead of Yokai Watch the event was Pokemon?
Ultimately, this is another cross promotion event. Judging by this: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest.../youkai-watch/ it's quite obvious SE is trying to appeal to Yokai fans to try FF14 and vice-versa.
I love chocolate in my peanut butter and peanut butter in my chocolate.
But I do not love pokemon, Yo-Kai watch or a likely to happen Disney event when the new kingdom hearts draws near, in my Final Fantasy.
Either SE isn't doing as well financially as they claim to be doing or someone wants more bonuses, cause we have not seen anything in the game indicative of a larger staff or this money being channeled to ffxiv.
