What's with people saying Yokai-Watch looks out of place?

[Radacci]

What about the Wind-Up Brick minion and the King Slime hat? No one seemed to have a problem with those despite the art styles being so different.

they do, but it's already in the game, so it's not like they gonna remove it.
all the complaining always happen on forum, before release. after release, all the complaints stop, but that doesn't mean everyone suddenly likes it.

Nothing wrong with other universe collabs coming in, as long as they fit the overall art style / aesthetics of the game.
The cloud costume? Lightning costume? Sure, they fit..
Clockwork mobs? Yep they fit too...
It's not so much about where they come from, but whether the textures and art style fits with the rest of the game

ya they could colab with WoW, and throw in murlocs, and it would fit in with Sahagin stuff.
but this yokai crap burns my eyes, like onions.

IKR. Ruining the immersion of shades+afros, giant chocobo helmets, rapidly spinning rocket turtles and every-occasion-bikinis

You will probably find that a lot of the people who don't like this collabs stuff are the same who disagreed with the other stuff as well, so I don't really understand what you are getting at.

Also, the point someone above made about ffxiv taking a mostly "realistic styling" over a kiddy anime, styling it a point that kind of hits the heart of it. At least the mog weapons have something to do with final fantasy.

And tbh, while bikinis and afros can be used to make goofy outfits, they aren't actually goofy themselves, kiddy cartoon animal head weapons on the other hand are.

I'm one of those people who feel like they don't fit at all (which doesn't mean that I'm not totally in love with how adorable the SCH book is <3) and it has nothing to do with how stuff comes from a different game, anime or whatever.
The XIII stuff fits because the art style is pretty similar to the overall FFXIV style. It's somewhat realistic-looking with a touch of fantasy magic and/or steampunk. The dreadnaught and the like fit that theme exactly.
The Yo-kai Watch weapons and mount look cartoonish and 2Dish and therefore completely different in art style which is why I feel they don't fit in well. I'm always happy we get new stuff, but wish it was something more fitting the game.

We only have that kind of style in one place in FFXIV, and that's in form of minions. I would have been fine with that solution, but feel like this doesn't have a place in FFXIV :/

It doesn't fit. Have you actually seen that mount? It's hideous. I for one will not do the event and will actually blacklist anyone i see with that mount or any of the pokemon out.

[myahele]

The minions more or less fit the game, but the weapons, especially the mount do not.

If they're going this route, then I hope the devs will also do more collaboration events with some western games (unlikely)

Good luck. You'll run out of precious space to block RMTs with. Are you willing to quit your FC if anyone there has these mounts too?

Or is this "clearly this is satire!" I am not getting?

[Sayori]

No fun allowed.

Well aren't you an edgy one, you must be really fun at parties.

[Jynx]

Glad they decided to waste dev time on this instead of work on modeling some new gear sets. I'm guessing next patch is going to be allot of reskins.

[Causality]

You're missing the point, entirely.
It's like watching game of thrones, and people fight with donald duck themed swords. Or imagine 2 armies clashing and everyone shouting YOLOOOOO; YASS QUEEN, SHAADE.
Those machines aren't out of place - old civilizations with machines, is common theme in most FF games (actually can't think of a single FF game without machines) Garlemald military is almost entirely based on allagh tech. Binding Coil is all machine, alexander is all machine, void ark is all machine, azys is a huge floating mechanical fortress! putting some machine from another FF game, into this FF game, isn't "out of place"

or People Fighting Bahamut with weapons that have rainbow music notes and moogles on them.... OH wait!
