Hi since we got maintenances, emergency maintenances, other seasonal events, new patch, and of course, not less important, a real life to live, I would like to suggest to extend one or two weeks the campaign, or increase the Legendary medals drops, or let them pop in any fate place, or lower the amount needed for each weapon, there are ways to ease the recollection of some 200 legendary medals, is an special event and these days much situations affect the real effective time to collect here.
Thanks, I hope you guys think about this suggestion. :cool:

It's been going on since July 26th... that's long enough :( It's over two months. It only takes about 2-3 hours to get the basic mount/all minions and although it does take ~800 fates to get the glowy mount... two months is way more time than is needed (I did mine semi-casually in 2 weeks and I know people that did it in a day or so!)
So sorry but I think it should just end when it's supposed to so we can put this nightmare event behind us and move on to new things! -

Sorry, but it sounds as if this suggestion was born from bad time-managment on your part - the other seasonal events and the maintance really didnt took that long, the patch dropped very much to the end of the yokai event now and the idea behind making this so grindy was that you dont get all weapons to begin with.

I will say I "waited" to do this event, the weapon portion anyway, but was able to complete it in about 8 days; before the patch too, YAY!!!! While I doubt anyone who isn't finished or near finished would be able to complete it now, given that we only have about 5 days left, with some major, MAJOR, dedication you might be able too.

I'd like to propose the Yokai Watch event goes away, never comes back, and we pretend like it never existed.

09-29-2016, 03:26 PMTaleraRistainYeah this event has been horrible. The legendary drop rate is atrocious. They could have eased some of the burden by allowing normal medals to be traded for the legendary of your choice. The fact that both minions and weapons increased the number needed as you obtained one just seemed like they wanted us to be miserable. This is the first event I haven't felt any love from the developers toward the playerbase. Quite the opposite, in fact.Quote:

No, end of story. You had few months to do it.

This abomination of an event has soiled Eorea long enough....removal is long overdue imo. It's enough we'll have to see the rewards in-game forever...

As someone who has toiled away getting the second mount, I honestly do think the event's medal drop rates should be raised. This was... not a fun event at all. It was pretty painful. It was doing Atma all over again... only instead of 12, it was well over 90 medals.

09-29-2016, 03:41 PMKotemonYeah, I got mine done in about the same length of time. I just used all that fate farming to buy moonstones until they added the 4 Anima craft items. I lucked out seeing the Umagoro chain fate and doing those 30/30 early.Quote:

Does anyone know anything about the supposed "Special Event" happening to celebrate the end of the Yokai farming season? There was an article I read via Google News aggregator that referred to a Japanese only video from the FFXIV/SE YouTube channel about the "End of Yokai" event. I've seen nothing on Lodestone about it & my Japanese is as good as non-existent.

Please no. While I still have two weapons left to get, I just want this event to die. Hilariously, for a promotional event, I couldn't possibly be more turned off from Yo-kai after this horrible grind.

Eh, hopefully like other events it'll come back at some point.
Not all of us were able to play since the start, or only recently returned to play FFXIV and therefore hadn't enough time to farm the medals. -

Personally, I was ill and suffering through major depression so I wasn't playing for awhile due to said issues. That and didn't have money for a subscription at some point. I have to pull all-nighters now to finish getting 4 more weapons, but drop rate makes it rough and all these Emergency Maintenance times are ruining opportunity to grind. :/

It all balances out... I got 7 in a row once, I felt like a god... and then nothing for hours :DQuote:

Assuming you're keeping hold of excess regular medals, you can use those as a counter for how many fates you did in total (to save you looking, it was 77 you handed in for the minions, so add that to what you have left).
