Lightning FATE--Are you thinking ahead, SE?

[kokorozashii]

Pointless to condemn an event that hasn't even happened yet, rather it's pointless to even talk about if one already has their mind set on the outcome of the event.

[Shikiseki]

While I like all the fanservice and event items they give to us there's only 1 problem with this particular fate....

NO ONE can actually enjoy this gear in their level range without gimping the own battle capacity.
The only time where you can actually wear it is inside the cities, which is sad.

They should release the vanity system already for us to actually enjoy the outfits outside the cities and joke-runs.

Although I'm not the biggest fan of Light, I am looking forward to this and I hope it's not limited to just lv 50's. I prob won't be 50 by that point, lol.

Anyway I love the fanservice of this game and I, personally, hope there is more of these added to the game. I would love to see characters from FF1-12 as well. Hell you can add Enix characters too, like the slime (so cute!) as a minion! I wouldn't like Disney characters in it, but fortunately those aren't owned by SE so I'm not concerned about them

You may need to backpedal then and start complaining about the Magitek mount in the game. If you're not okay with this, then you shouldn't be okay with that since it's a homage to FFVI. Also, even if they decided to restrict the outfits to crafters or something, the problem would still remain. Plenty of people just don't want to see anything to do with FFXIII in the game, period.

Dont forget Crystal Tower itself, is a throwback to FFIII ;p We should remove that as well, oh and chocobos, remove them!, and jobs...... those too...... ^.^

Spose the 15th makes sense for a release date, which would be good for me.

Anyway, as for my 2 cents of why I accept this temporary addition to the game, I think it sounds fun. People are analyzing the Lore aspect of Lightning Returns a lot and don't approve, which is fine, but as a player playing a game I seek to have fun with it, and this sounds fun to me. I've never played a MMO that plays with cross-overs like this, so it'd be new and hopefully interesting.

It makes me wonder if people would protest to Gilgamesh appearing in FFXIV ARR, considering he has had a habit of appearing in FF games and acting like the same person in nearly every appearance. I also can't figure out why people aren't protesting about Shantoto appearing in the game if the idea of a cross-over is so aberrant to them. Is it solely on their like/dislike of FF13?

[Foxydoe]

Meh, Lightning's alright.

I'd be much more excited to see FF 7, 8 or 10 characters return, though. Sephiroth, Vincent, Squall, Auron, Wakka & Lulu > Lightning.

[Genjisamurai]

Is the fate still next week?

[Keyln]

It sets precedent. If they start putting in Lightning, and Shantoto and get no opposition, will they move to Kuja and Zidane or Tidus and Sin? Perhaps Cloud and Sephiroth, or maybe we'll see Sora and Goofy? Will we see square bring out an event for every game that they want sold? I don't know if you noticed this, but square has stamped their name on -a lot- of IP's and if they see that XIV becomes a good springboard for advertising, you don't think they won't use it until the players outcry for them to stop it (most likely at the cost of subscriptions)?

And the problem with this is...what exactly?

[Cynric]

THE PROBLEM DEAR PEOPLE. IS WE MAY FALL FOR THE ADVERTISING AND I KNOW THIS IS CRAY RIGHT? WE MAY ACTUALLY BUY SQUARES GAMES. DEAR LORD FORBID WE EVEN HAVE FUN DOING SO OH MY GOD THIS IS BAD!!!!!!

No but in all seriousness why should I care? Free equipment is free equipment man. Don't like it don't participate. I preordered Lightning returns and I aint ashamed of it. Did it have anything to do with the event? No ? But why should you care. Let them advertise! It brings more content and possible vanity applications.
