It would be better to view this as "the newest FFXIV trial, sponsored by Monster Hunter", a trial along the lines of Ultima or Odin. And there is already a "quick and easy" quest chain that gets you most of the toys.
The yokai event catered to different effort levels, skill was irrelevant(unless you consider the patience to run potentially thousands of fates a skill). You could decide if it was worth putting forth the effort to do just a couple cute minis, mini and weapon for a couple specific classes, all minis for the normal mount, or everything for the glowy mount. And it was active over a roughly 3 month span twice, giving people plenty of time to spread out that effort too. So not the "first" time.
