Disappointed in Youkai Watch

[WinterLuna]

Don't take part then?

I haven't even seen the event yet or the items, but that's completely missing the point. I'm not supporting the OP but saying 'don't take part' doesn't somehow make those things disappear from the rest of the game. It's not a valid argument to make when that's not why the OP is disappointed.

Again, I haven't even seen the items so I'm not supporting the OP in any way until I can see for myself.

I'm confused where this hard feelings are coming from, OP?

Like, calling the items "stupid" - sure, they look a bit silly and fluffy, but that seems to be the point of them and some people might enjoy them, whats so horrible about that? Because, breaking news: This isnt YOUR game - its SE's game and its for all of us to enjoy.
Pulling the "Then you're not a TRUE Final Fantasy fan card" makes me instantly believe that you cant be older than 12 - who cares? Isnt it enough already that people hate each other because of their religion etc.? Must you bring this silly sort of thinking into something thats a game and supposed to be fun? If this event is not fun to you, you can choose not to do it. But dont run around and tell other people how to enjoy their game please. Like really, who cares if you're a "TRUE" fan? And how narrow-minded must one be to limit themself to only being a TRUE fan of one game...

I even have trouble to understand how you can argue with "lore" and "immersion" breaking, seeing how you're playing a female Au Ra - something that from a lore-point of view raises a lot of questions and should have been terribly game breaking for you already when a certain NPC showed her face...

I dont even expect being able to argue with you, but I would like to understand why you're THIS upset about a silly, little event that is supposed to be nothing but fun...

I don't think its really an immersion issue as it is an aesthetic issue for me.

[Pheryx]

I wouldn't worry about it too much. It will come and go like everything else has.

I'm entirely convinced OP is trolling the boards, they haven't replied in a long while...

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.

QQ I want the game as I will QQ

I am not a fan of the series, but I can understand why SE wants to promote this game in FFXIV:

- Yokai Watch is very popular in Japan, so popular that their merchandise outsold those of Pokemon in 2014 and 2015.
- Just like most toys/tv shows etc made for children (Pokemon, Digimon, My Little Pony), they have a huge adult following.
- Yokai Watch is not popular in the NA/EU/AUS region, so by promoting this game via FFXIV, they might reach those Pokemon, Digimon fans who want to try something else.
- FFXIV was promoted via a Yokai Watch game last year or was it 2014, it was in of those years. The chocobo and moogles are also present in their latest game.
- Level 5, the company that develops the Yokai Watch games, creates the Dragon Quest games for Square Enix.
- Yoshida is friends with creator (I think he was the creator) of Yokai Watch.
