I love chocolate in my peanut butter and peanut butter in my chocolate.

But I do not love pokemon, Yo-Kai watch or a likely to happen Disney event when the new kingdom hearts draws near, in my Final Fantasy.

Either SE isn't doing as well financially as they claim to be doing or someone wants more bonuses, cause we have not seen anything in the game indicative of a larger staff or this money being channeled to ffxiv.

You do know it was because YoshiP was friends with the level 5 guy so they decide to do a fun event, not because they need money or something.

In the end, people are running FATEs and filling empty zones, even if it's only going to last a week (or less) till the hardcore people grind it out and get them all. Then we'll see more "I'm disappointed because the zones are empty!" threads when it all dies down. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Cash shop sales went towards the EU datacenter, I'm pleased with the campaign because it's more money for the dev team that doesn't come from players forking over extra for mounts and glamours (plus we get an event from it, everyone wins)

Then there are things like upgrading the servers for new housing wards and the deep dungeon save data system, you start to see a lot of things that have been paid for if you look a little.

Personally I like this event as it gives you a lot of minions and glamour weapons for free.
If you don't like it just don't do it, I don't see the problem.

I'm haven't seen anything Yo-Kai outside of XIV, but it doesn't bother me being in the game. I wouldn't be bothered if they promoted Pokemon either. Kingdom Hearts, however...I would LOVE a KH crossover. (I'll live if they don't, though. Maybe. Please SE?)

Have we been here before? Because I distinctly feel like we've been here before.

Leave my new minions and weapons alone, I know nothing about yokai watch but if you try to take them from me you risk losing a hand. I actually found the event amusing, with my character having a "o.o you're a what? Wtf, what? errr..?" Expression on her face every step of the way from the first cutscene with whisper to getting her first weapon

My god slayer is so confused XD and it's adorable.

What's the problem really? We get more minions and weapons.

A lot of minions tend to be rather cutesy already, so more aren't really a problem. And some of the weapons are nice enough, with none bad enough to be overly distracting. For me, it's really that ridiculous mount that totally ruins it for me. In another of these threads I likened it to a kiddie ride at an amusement park. Anytime I see one of those ghastly things, that's all I'll be able to think of it as. And with a lot of people using Mount Roulette, we're going to keep seeing that hideous thing around indefinitely, spoiling the game any time it appears.

I mean would people be this upset id it was a Pokemon event? Thats bigger in the west more than Yo-Kai Watch, but who knows.

I'd be a lot more upset if it were Pokemon, and precisely because it's better known. None of these minions or weapons is going to make me think of Yo-Kai Watch, since I'd never even heard of it until this event came up, and within FFXIV will remain the only place I've ever seen these figures. A Pikachu minion, on the other hand, would be recognizable enough to immediately make me think of Pokemon rather than FFXIV, which would make it far more immersion-breaking.

I'd be angry, and disney characters flopping around would be no better. I really don't want this sort of thing to become prevalent.

They could easily just say the Heartless are a form of voidsent :P

Honest and for true, I can not see SE including Disney characters in the crossover. I think there will be a crossover, but trying to make the iconic Goofy or Donald fit the aesthetic or worse come in all cartoony, seems like something square would avoid. Sora or other humanish characters I can see, but not the anthropomorphic animals.
