1. Its not my game.
2. I am not "hating" on something that people enjoy.
3. I am not quitting the game because of this.
Is it so much to ask that a game based ENTIRELY around Final Fantasy... Simply stay, BASED AROUND FINAL FANTASY... Put that crap in any game you want. I'm not saying it isn't fun. I'm just saying... It has absolutely nothing to do with Final Fantasy in a game that is completely designed around FINAL FANTASY FAN SERVICE.
Ok? I like my Big Mac as a Big Mac. I don't want to go and buy a Big Mac someday and have it be replaced with Chicken... or a Taco. Ok? That doesn't make me a hater. That doesn't make me Salty. That doesn't make me a troll.
I play this game. Because it is a game marketed and designed to the absolute CORE. As a Final Fantasy Fan Service MMORPG. I like silly things ok? Moogle Weapons? Go for it. Chocobo Heads? Fine by me. I'm just saying its lore breaking and its a cheap, blatant cash grab.
Also as someone else said... yes it is completely ridiculous. Not only is it lore breaking... not only did Yoshida say that they wouldn't do these types of events... its a complete cash grab on SE's part. It really is no different than having a Pizza Hut event that rewards Pizza Hut themed equipment. Its not fan service.
I would bet my entire paycheque that less than 1/10th of the games population cares about Youkai Watch (I had never even heard of it prior) and that is including the JP population.
Its not an anime.
It is a Childrens Show.
Its like putting Teletubbies into the game. Ok?
Not once was the thought "I bet the community would really like this".
The whole thing was "Gee... how can we line the pockets of Squares CEOs even more." Oh right.... SPONSORED CONTENT
I understand not everyone (most people) actually hate Final Fantasy 13. It wasn't my favourite. Ok? But its still a Final Fantasy title. At LEAST as much as Secret of Mana. So its still Fan Service.
Literally everything in this game Items, Armor, Music, Weapons, Enemies, Bosses, Spells, Abilities, Locations, Factions, NPCs, Cities, Races is at least Native to FFXIV OR to other FF Titles.
Flying Turtle? Don't care. OK? Final Fantasy "Can" be silly. Thats perfectly fine. Ok? Theres lots of silly things in Final Fantasy.
Just don't break the lore with blatant sponsored content is all I'm saying.
