Disappointed in Youkai Watch

[LadyVal]

Well, as a Japanese game, Japan is ALL ABOUT crossovers. Square Enix, even moreso.

If I see any of this stuff in game, I just chalk it up to whimsy. I mean we have the Slime King crown, an exaggerated, phallic pompadour hairstyle, a flying broomstick, legendary beasts as common mounts, and a pig mascot costume. Sure, maybe they don't quite fit into the game's world, but we have plenty of weird things that are part of the lore and world; Captain Longhaft, anything remotely related to Hildebrand, an entire noble house dedicated to playing match-maker, Leviabeetus, a goblin cult that has sacred cheese, and a wandering pompadour hitman squad... so when you look at it from that perspective, relatively, cartoony monster minions and weapons aren't so out of place.

And they call me a troll? Want some fries with your salt?

You're a shining example of the type of people SE is catering to.

Spend a few bucks on a fantasia, play with your friends. Join up for cute minions and glamour. Quit the game for something else three months later.

You just subbed in 2016.

"Hello, payment to complain in forums"
Your complaint is stupid from the moment the game has missions that refer to other games or culture. What's more, your complaint starts talking of "COMPLETELY BREAKS THE IMMERSION OF THE GAMES LORE" when the game goes breaking the inmension from the moment you walk in PVP to fight 72 Warriors of Light .

You know that all crossover events are not canon within the universe of the game?

You joined the game in March 2016.

The date of the forum isn't when you started played but when you activated the forum account. I started way earler then my forum date say.
Just saying.

And people wonder why they don't care about NA/EU servers, jeeze. This is exactly why

[MistyMew]

I have 0 issues with crossover events, from any game, of any kind. Its just a game at the end of the day, immersion is only so possible to me ever as I never lose sight ....that's its just a game Oo.

the mount is so goofy it is cute...must get that

Im not belittling the op opinion though, to each their own, and people should always voice their opinions.

Maybe have a read.

It's explained pretty well in the games lore if you actually followed the story.

The only other Crossover event that has been in game that has not been in the Final Fantasy universe has been the Dragon Quest event and that was trash as well.

PvP (like in FF14) was also in FF11. Making it native to both FF11 and FF14. = Not lore breaking. PvP is also a game mode.

Its no different than Final Fantasy Dissidia.

Same universe = not lore breaking. No matter how stupid. How silly. How much you hate it. Its still fan service any way you look at it.

Youkai Watch is sponsored content. NOT fan service.

I don't understand what you're not understanding. I am not being salty. I am not being a hater It just simply is not fan service.

Why is that so hard for people to admit?

Rather than attacking me... Just say. Yes. You're right. It isn't fan service. It is a blatant cash grab for sponsored content and I ENJOY IT. Instead of putting up this ridiculous argument of somehow trying to say that I'm wrong in saying its not fan service in a game thats core design is around final fantasy fan service. You can still own your belief without trying to trash talk who doesn't believe the same as you.

Not everything in life is this versus that. Just because you're for something doesn't mean youre against the opposite.

You enjoy the content? Thats great. But I am not wrong, AT ALL in saying it is not in the least bit related to the games core design and selling points.

I thought this was going to be a post about making the event another atma grind...ill move along now

Thank you for giving me the reason, 72 light warriors fight in a battlefield without apparent reason go see ass to kick their Ascians, all very logical

Logic or not.

Its a part of the Universe. Thats the bottom line.

If Youkai Watch was an official Final Fantasy title (Youkai Final Fantasy) with crystals and potions and phoenix downs and recurring themes... I wouldn't care in the least about it being in game. But the bottom line is that its not and it doesn't belong in a game that is designed around Final Fantasy fan service.

As for your "Allusions".

I never once said that references to other games, movies, pop culture etc weren't ok.

These references are almost exclusively quest names and NPC dialogue which is done in a way that is not lore breaking. There isn't a statue of Homer Simpson anywhere in game. Its in a very brief quest name and a very subtle reference at that.

Its sponsored content.

I don't know why you're so adamant at defending this. I am not saying you can't enjoy it. I am simply saying it doesn't belong in this game. I didn't decide that. The games creators did when they designed the entire game around the Final Fantasy universe.

Yeah Right
