Disappointed in Youkai Watch

[Khemorex]

im dissapointed that we dont have a fun dungeon that has nothing to do with the lore of ffxiv , like on outer world dungeon from thief , where u have to sneak around instead of fighting , or some dungeon from tomb raider where u have to jump and climb around and solve puzzles :P

edit : im not really dissapointed , but it would be nice if we had such a dungeon XD

To put it bluntly, you're expressing a very selfish viewpoint. You're saying that you shouldn't have to see these things for little reason other than it tarnishes your personal view of what the game should look like.

Trust me, a little bit of stuff like this won't ruin the experience for you. If I could last through bulky glow weapons, silly jiggle hats, Lightning pandering, and my favorate location in 1.0 being totally ruined, you can survive Jibanyan skipping through a field or two.


Slimes are from Dragon Quest, not Final Fantasy.

I dunno if its selfish to call this out as the shameless unrelated marketing it is. This doesn't seem that far removed from having Pizza Hut Pizza lids as shields and breadsticks as swords.

I wouldn't go so far as to say they that have no problem with it are not fans, its more SE's doing.

Isn't that true of the past crossover events as well?
Are those ok just because they're properties owned by the same company?

Other ff titles were at least in the same franchise. Stuff like dragon quest and this? I get that they are popular but is that the only criteria for lore according to the devs? Should we be expecting Luis Vuiton accesories being paraded around as FATEs next?

Well...


You know very well that it's a possibility.

That aside, FF13 may be in the same franchise, but it's style is so far removed from XIV's that it may as well be a whole different series.

While i agree it's beyond ridiculous, i will happily try my best to ignore just like i have to ignore flying turtles.
SE is abit bi-polar with lore on one hand we still have GC locked Frontlines and on the other hand we have flying turtles.
Also flying turtles.

The only thing that dissapointed me is the community of this forum, always complaining about everything when something doesn't like them. Not only dislike the event, also dislike if other people who enjoy it take part.

I remember people beating bahamut in nude glamor, or Snowman glamour. So, what's the difference? I personally like this kind of stuff.

Almost everyone in this forums seems hate the entire game, always believing they can do better job than devs . If you don't like the game or how devs make things, why you continue paying&playing?

i ask that myself everytime i look at the forums XD i dont think theres a single complaining post wich dosnt have the words JOKE,SILLY,RIDICULOUS, or whatever else there is in it :P

Honestly that would be great for glamour.
Also, i'm really excited for this event, i love the game and it's just so silly and fun. Also, the weapons for the classes that i like look quite good in my opinion and i have to collect all the minions, they're adorable.

I was aware of the Luis Vuiton ads, its why I said it.

You may be alright with it, I think its ridiculous and shameless advertising. And its kinda of reaching to say that ffxiii "might as well be its own series".

Like, there no "respect for the lore" here; there is only money. SE will have its silly yokai watch event and people will be flying around in amusment park ghost clouds. Justify it all you want. I'll be elsewhere.

Well, you're right. It is shameless marketing. And I think the same is true for the other 3 crossover events. And I don't think simply belonging to the same franchise or company changes that.

Point #2: I don't think marketing crossovers are really anything to be ashamed of. I treat it with the same non-canonical view as I do everything else that doesn't make sense. The whole point of the game is to give Square a big ol' monthly income, so as much as I would have liked the game to rest on its own strengths, a little advertisement here and there won't ruin it.
