Collaboration events

I've noticed that the dev's have been rather quiet about collaboration events. I know that Phantasy Star Online 2 did a collab where they got the costumes from NieR: Automata.

I know that a lot of people were asking if we'd ever get some kind of similar collaboration too. I mean... PSO2 got the Odin fight, NieR costumes and we got... Yokai? Twice? I mean I don't mind Yokai but can we get something rather relevant to the S-E worlds? Why is PSO2 getting S-E collabs and we aren't?

I would have thought by now we would have seen an FFXV collab. Really holding out for those Kingsglaive costumes. I think we'd sooner see an XV collab in PSO2 before XIV at this rate =/

We won't get a ffxv event, Kinglaive outfits will probs end up being cash shop items

PSO2 basically allows people to use it as a marketing medium if they're willing to pay for it, whereas I think FF14 only does collabs when it's something both sides are genuinely interested in.

Being a sub-based game, FF14 is also a lot less dependent on micro-transactions for its income which is probably part of why they're a lot less prone to having collabs then PSO2. People spend out the wazoo to get their hands on the collab items, knowing they'll likely never return.

If we ever do get another collab, it won't be one any of us asked for that's for sure.

I'm still holding out for Nier: Automata and FFXV events. FFXV is more likely, and it releases on PC relatively soon, so we may yet get it.

PSO2 isn't a great comparison because they do collabs with literally anyone or anything that asks.

Part of it also may be that the Phantasy Star series has sort of had collaborations since the original PSO on Dreamcast if you look at some of the weapons in game. When PSU made clothing/appearance items a thing for the series it just opened the door wider. I cant immediately recall any costumes from PSU but I do recall on the Phantasy Star Portable series on PSP there were costumes from Fate Stay Night and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Not just Yo-kai Watch. We've also gotten two FFXI events, FFXIII, Dragon Quest X, and Garo. That's more than 1 collab per year since ARR's release. And that's not even mentioning the gear from previous FFs that we get as Veteran Rewards.

I'd love to see Nier and FFXV stuff too, but don't act like we've been getting shafted when it comes to crossovers.

I really want a Nier:Automata event. Especially since Brave Exvius ruined theirs with the insanely low summon rates. I'm still bitter I don't have 2B

Idk...

I'm probably wrong about this but I just have this feeling that FF14 is not big on collab events. It might be just because nearly all the events we have are purely seasonal and most of the mmos I've played do those as well PLUS other events.

Last year, outside of seasonal events, I think we had DQ and Yokai as collab and some anniversary events. That's it. To me, that is just so...minimal in terms of events. Really wish they did more.

The reason I still believe that we may get that XV crossover is because we had previous FF title crossovers in the past like XIII and XI (which I participated in those events).

The real kicker is that everything PSO2 took in for the XIV collab are better than their XIV in-game counterparts. They're better textured and have weight and motion physics.

And PSO2 has body sliders so you can adjust your character to better fit/fill out a costume. XIV won't do collabs unless SE can get the other team to do all the work. And in their defense, they don't really have the time or manpower to do it themselves.

I was fortunate enough to get A2. My second account got 2B and not much else going for it.

For this game, I will take collaboration events that are relevant to the players interests and new glamour gear before a butt-slider add on... I'm just saying...

I didn't even get 9S. Let alone A2 or 2B. Yet I spent an ungodly ammount of lapis and summon tickets.

As for butt slider.....it IS a very popular request.

Id like to see one with Persona 5 and FFXIV

Maybe have the event for clothing and minion for the persona's.

The event we go and change someones heart in FFXIV and go into a dungeon style of their mind and face them at the end as a group.

Um, no. There is absolutely nothing in PSO2 that is better textured than in this game, even at max tier 6 graphical settings. PSO2's textures are absolute mud compared to FFXIV; one only needs to look at the painted on eyes for every NPC to see how dated that game looks in comparison.

On the subject of collabs; I prefer quality over quantity. And I suspect at the moment they're prioritising the new glamour system first.

I'm curious as to when they plan on announcing the next collab, considering they said their schedule was already too booked up in that regard to expect a PSO2 collab any time soon.

I think Final Fantasy XV event was confirmed, but without a date. I guess will be around the day the PC version of this game will launch.
