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

[Nox_Shinya]

With a little bit of fantasy you can make sense of the Yokai Watch items. What if all the wind-up Yokai minions etc are just TOYS in Eorzea? And we have this Blacksmith guy who is crazy about these toys and makes weapons inspired by them. Easy.

I can come up with something for the mounts as well. The point is, we don't know the lore behind them yet. If they are just "there" for no reason, yeah that'll be a little bit disappointing since that means that they CAN just implement Cloud's bike and that the excuse was bs. We'll see.

No one cares about the lore. They care about what the things look like.

To be fair. Most of the minions are toys. Some of them are living creatures, like baby chocobo, but the gadget type and the puppet type are just toys. C'mon, even have the "Wind-up" string in the name. And you can see it in some of them, like the mini-airship (Wind-up airship)

I'm hoping this means that any company that throws money at SE can have their stuff promoted in the game. I'd really love to craft things like Coca Cola for my healers to drink before raid, or participate in a FATE to get a Sailormoon themed weapon like Saturn's glaive or Pluto's garnet rod. Ooooo maybe a Pokemon event! So many Pokemon would make awesome mounts no? I can't wait for the next popular kids toy or cartoon to be incorporated into the game I've been playing for the last 2.5 years. I hope it's not unrealistic to cross my fingers for in game vending machines either that dispense brand name candy bars and other foodstuffs. Gosh I have so many ideas... maybe as a player I can just tell SE what to do with the game since it seems like this is what is happening on a daily basis.

Seriously-- does anyone ever feel like the developers are the only people NOT developing anything? I feel like so much of the content and changes to content comes from chronic complainers or outside sources. I mean the core content is there (dungeons, raids, quests etc.) but beyond that everyone feels like they have a direct line to SE to tell them what to do next or what to change. This Yokai-watch stuff... lol... so off putting to me. Even though I don't like it-- I'm not going to tell SE what they should and shouldn't do because it's not my place. Those minions, most of the weapons, and that mount look like something my niece or nephew would play with. I think if SE continues to add stuff like this they can lower the rating restriction on the game from 14A where I live to "E" (which means Everyone) and at least make the game more competitive with other kids games that 7 year olds are apt to be interested in.

Oh no. They look totally ridiculous. Especially the Whisper kart.
But the setting has been established enough that I don't mind the occasional ridiculous thing anymore. Also I'm making excuses because I enjoy Yokai Watch.


Also I'm still alive

That is a terrible argument. You are just assuming stuff.

Sums it up really...

a kotaku link?
I'm not gonna give them revenue.

[Corfish]

I'm excited for this event. 13 new minions, weapons and a new mount? Yes please, I don't care how ridiculous they look, more vanity is always good for me.

My english teacher taught me this..
"Whats good in one place is bad in another."

This isnt japan and this isnt to say that there r no western fans only that i feel the majority of fans and influence is in japan. It has nothing to do with being out of place with the game, more like with a large playerbase, namely the west. Alseo i find japanese companies n put their domestic playerbase above all others sometimes, so go move to japan if u want more of a voice.

Ill admit it, i probly wont use them much n thats cus i dont wanna look too cute, i dont go for cute glamours much rlly.

But i know ppl will like it, especially my the awesome japanese players ^^ n i can respect them, can u?

I'm out of the loop here. What's going on with them?
