LIKE Yokai Watch is from SE, not another event of Yokai Watch!
At least it's a better idea than Digimon or PokemonWhy? These events don't happen for the sake of it. The dev team have never requested a crossover event, it has always been outside sources (including SE HQ) that ask for the crossover events. Unless SE wants to market bravely default/second by using XIV as a tool for that, it's not happening in my eyes.




Agreed, but from the developers standpoint it is equally as unviable. SE needs to build it into their marketing strategy for it to become a thing and that is not up to Yoshi P or the dev team (and honestly SE main HQ won't listen to our requests when it comes to things like this). All previous events except the XIII events have had direct ties to Yoshi P himself, which is why they were able to happen, the XIII one came about because Yoshi P was able to talk to the director of XIII at a convention and the idea came about and XIII-3 was being marketed. There are stories behind all of the crossovers which are far more than "it would be cool to do", most of the less obvious ones are purely by chance.
FFXIII lightning returns - marketing for XIII-3, came about by chance through a discussion at I believe gamescom (could be E3)?
Dragon Quest X - Anniversary of the game, Yoshi P was part of the Dragon Quest X development team (wikipedia has him listed as designer, other sources say other things), and the director of other dragon quest games, which was a big influence.
FFXI shantotto event - I believe 10th anniversary of the game. As the direct predecessor of XIV, many players came from XI, and the dev team know this.
FFXI seekers event - Celebrates the final expansion of XI, the "death" of the game, and almost acts as XIs legacy being passed on to XIV.
Yo-kai watch - Marketing for Yokai Watch 3, came about through an informal discussion over drinks between Yoshi P and his good friend Akihiro Hino

Level 5 develops some of Square Enix's games, but they are not part of them. When people think of Level 5, they think of Dragon Quest, hence people think they are part of Square Enix. Yokai Watch was developed by Level 5 and published by Nintendo.
On-topic:
I love to see Bravely series to have a event in FFXIV, but I think its to late, since these events are used as advertisement to the main game that is being released. The next cross-over event should be FFXV and if we are lucky Kingdom Hearts 3, but for the latter, I am not sure if we are going to get a event, since disney has a stake in it aswell.
