Demon Slayer Collaboration

Hello everyone,


Im a ffxiv fan and a player since 1.0. I love this game and I would like to share with you guys a collaboration that I would love to have... someday... Its an anime that came from a manga, called Demon Slayer. If you never watched, I recommend. Wont give any spoiler so here comes just statics of the anime that could give ideas for anything, from haircut, costume, glamour, jobs, furnitures, colors, gears, emotes, minions etc etc etc xD Imagine even a collab with a story, where demons would come to us, so we could kill them, or even a primal demon... anyways many things.

Here come pics so you can imagine and let me know what do you think about it.

PS: Im still watching the season 1 so Im looking foward whats next

Thank you very much for checking my post.

No, thank you.

I'd rather have collaborations as limited as possible. YorHa and Rathalos already feel pretty out of place, at least to me and I'd rather see FFXIVs team develop fights and items based on their own style than copying other franchises.

Only if I get:

1. Tanjiro's forehead mark as a Optional Face Paint.

2. We get a chibi Nezuko Minion that runs like adorable Nezuko.

3. We get a Inosuke looking Boar mount in honor of the greatest idiot, Inosuke, that has ever lived.

4. Demon Corps glamour gear. At least three different kinds based off of different Demon Corps character from the series.

Ehh, I'd rather see more Monster Hunter collabs, out of all the non FF related collabs we've had it feels like MH fits the best, the only thing they need not do again is try to do original armor sets for it. The sets we got were nice, if they came from any other content. But it's really a poor move to literally give us an iconic monster to fight from MH but then not also give us the iconic armor related to said monster.
Not only that but I've gotten pretty over saturated with Demon Slayer, and I don't think a samurai focused collab would feel very great for non samurai mains lmao.

In my dreams we get a Witcher crossover and see a great cursed anime Geralt, but I can't imagine FF doing the portal cross over gimmick twice, not so quickly one after another anways.

Nah. I don't want another soulless collab. NieR felt already... lackluster.

No thanks Demon Slayer is a mediocre title and I know I will get hate for this comment but whatever. We need some Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana Collabs or something coming from the old school Squaresoft archives.

I'm ok for collaborations but not with Demon Slayer.

No thank you. I like to keep my shounen junk food intake at a minimum. If it's anything. Let it be Chainsaw Man.

I know nothing about Demon Slayer.
What about it would lend itself well to a collab with FF14?

Also, have we ever had a collab with an anime before? I think thus far it's been other games & Garo.

Demon Slayer is awesome but I do think it feels out of place within the FFXIV world.

And yes, we need a break on collab for now. Even though some of them are hits for me (Nier, FFXV, Monster Hunter), others felt like a grind (Yokai, Garo)

We need a GTA collab.

Please don't spam with so many pics. Slows down the forums and is annoying.

And no thanks

Demon Slayer is a cool show, but that's pure anime; it wouldn't look right here. Better to collab with other games that have a similar aesthetic.

Yeah, let's keep anime out of this game. It's not as if we had freaking YO-KAI WATCH as a colab before. Twice. Jeez.

THESE. THESE RIGHT HERE.

We have great baby boars as minions, but the adult models in game are kinda lame. Give us a beast worth to be called Master of the Mountain and let us ride it!

The uniforms are classy AF too. I wouldn't mind the generic one, but any of the characters's with dyeable haori would be awesome (since we lack clothes like this and it's a shame since we got SB).

Also,

Proper Boar Head.

And this persostent emote:

Just saying, this game and that show are completely different visual styles. It's a little easier to make that work when the premise of the show is just goofy looking creatures running around.

I would like to see a crossover event with kuroinu.

But no one is expecting something more complex than that. So far, everyone is just discussing basically rewards.

And rewards would be based on visuals, wouldnt they? This request has been made because someone (or some people) like the visual style of that anime, right? You'd like to see this because you'd like to dress your character in gear that looks like the stuff the characters in said anime wear - if not, asking for more "samurai insipired" gear would have been fine and there would be no need for a crossover.

Having said that: I wasnt thrilled by Yokai either (a crossover that happend - at least afaik - because Yoshi-P is friends with the guy whos in charge of Yokai) and I rarely see people using the weapons as glamour (nor see I many Yokai pets around or many people using the mounts - happens, but rarely). My personal theory would be that thats because they dont look like they fit into this world.

I like the minions a lot. I know 0 about Yokai watch but I think they're super cute.

All of this unattributed fanart.... :(

And what is the problem with "visuals"? The Rathalos gear is an example of the team not following to the letter a pre-existent design, since every "visual" could very well be adapted to the style we have in the game!

People then could just argue there is also no need for more "samurai inspired" gear but it's missing the point. This isn't about things we lack in the game, it's just speculation about a colab we could have, with rewards that people who don't even know said anime could also enjoy! Just like things went with the GARO colab.

I dunno man, I see them about as often as can be expected when there are 407 minions, 198 mounts, and god knows how many weapons...

On that note, can you (OP) credit the fanart or if that’s too much, replace all instances of the fanart with screenshots and official art from the show? Fanartists work hard and spend hours on their works, uncredited fanart is just... not it, chief.

And related directly to the topic of the thread, I feel like the show’s a bit... overhyped? This reminds me of when games would have collabs with things like Bleach, Black Butler, etc etc. Like, it’s great on it’s own but the hype train has gotta stop at some point.

Does that mean I’d be upset if they did another collab with something? Nah. But I personally don’t think it’s necessary.

I'd rather FFXIV stick firmly to game related cross-overs. Seeing a bunch of things from every anime in existence is really going to have an impact on overall immersion, imo. It's one thing to see someone wearing a slime crown from a game series closely resembling this one but if someone runs by me wearing cosplay pieces from -insert generic shonen anime here- then I think that might be a part of a tipping point for me, lol.

Devil's advocate: I don't see how it's much different from our cosplay pieces from FF8 or FF9. Demon Slayer is more aesthetically similar than most of the stuff we get from within our own franchise. The FF13 stuff still looks really odd to me.

I don't think S/E willing to work with this one because main character has some controversy issue with Korean and Chinese.
His earring was an old Japanese empire sun flag and that has triggered many asian nations.

It's more just 'knowing'. If I see Lightning's gunblade, I know it's a Final Fantasy-verse construct. If I see someone running around with Ichigo's zangetsu, for instances, I know it's from Bleach and if I see more items or cosmetics from anime brands I recognize, the whole thing starts to feel a bit theme-parky. Where would the cross-overs stop?

The fact that they used fan art is the real deal breaker. It's like showing modded screenshots/fan art to sell someone on FFXIV. That's not the product. And I say this as someone who watched the series.

Nah not interested in this.

Ideally they'd stop before they even got started.
Seeing a cosplay glams at all does the harm you suggest, though I suppose players cobble their own together from existing pieces regardless.

Perhaps because of all the weird hoop jumping the Ivalice raids had to do to establish part of FF12 and Tactics worldsetting inside FF14, all other FF games feel alien to FF14's world to me. If FF15 and Nier can come through portals to play around in Eorzea, other things with similar aesthetics shouldn't be counted out just because this sword wielder comes from something other than a video game, especially when we've had a Garo crossover.

(That said I'm not personally behind a Demon Slayer crossover.)

I'd rather keeps ads in my games to a nonexistent.
