Disappointed in Youkai Watch

[seida]

Good for you but your subjective opinion on what you think looks good doesn't mean much. Why should everyone else lose out on what they are okay with just because you or the OP doesn't like the appearance of these completely optional items? I do not think your character name fits my perception of what a WoL would be named, should you be forced to change it to something that suits my tastes too?

Well spotted - your subjective opinion doesn't mean much either! And please tell me where I said they should cancel it or take it out so other people ~lose out~? I didn't! I was just expressing my subjective opinion (that I don't like it) as you are.

Also, "lose out on what they are okay with" - doesn't sound like much of a loss if it's only something people are "okay with" to be honest.

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.

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?

This....so much this....I was actually excited for this event and I liked PotD but gosh....you can't even like anything hardly. I usually only come and look at the crafting/gathering threads b/c stuff like this wears me out.

This is the forums, what do you expect? People are allowed to dislike things, geez. There's plenty of other threads praising SE and the community.

Praising? You get burned at the stake if you dare to like something.

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

On the other hand, I'm a bit irritated by people who happen to like the content, but feel the need to put down people who don't like it. Having opinions is fine, and understanding why it's the case is also important (within reason, anyway).

Here's a thought, though; neither side seems to be the minority or majority. There's topics for both perspectives but it always seems like the negative ones are the ones that go on for longer discussions, for better or worse. That at the very least should be an indicator of the player reception and community interaction within the OF.

It's an event not tied to anything in Eorzea...it's not gonna affect your immerson jeeze you really can't please anyone in this game so whiney and entitled.

I've made multiple threads of praise myself, there's a Mentor appreciation thread on the first page right now along with some PotD praises somewhere. If people want to ignore those and only focus on the negative, that's fine, but as I said, people are actually allowed to dislike something.

I also don't really understand the decision... as I really don't think Yokai Watch is remotely popular with the majority of players. YW is a (young) children's anime and game. It really doesn't have that many fans over elementary school age (and I say this as someone who lives and works in Japan). Even among adult anime fans, YW is not popular. So... in that sense I don't get it.

While I already stated that I find the mount really ugly and lore-breaking, Youkai Watch is pretty popular in Japan. If only JP datacenter got this event we would have the GD english forums spammed with threads saying about how wrong that is. And the majority of the playerbase is japanese.

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.

So yeah, I don't really see a problem with the event, but I do fear that in the future we can get more and more stuff like that and end up like, idk, Tera.

So this is where the rest of 3.3 content went too, I wondered why it was so lacking. 2 months of fate grind.

The OP says if do not agree with her then we are not real FF fans, I could quite easily turn around and say if you are against this event you are not a true FF14 fan because these events are part of the makeup of this game's development and has been for quite some time. I assume the OP would also consider chat between players which often is not game related or in keeping with the ideology of the Warrior of Light and/or events surrounding his/her story is immersion breaking too but I am betting she/her just ignores such chat and likewise the OP should just ignore this event if it is not his/her cup of tea.

You make a lot of assumptions.
