Crossover events and breaking immersion

Muh immersion

Pretty much.

I just think of it as a fan service game minus the gainaxing. (which we need more of)

I remember the alpha threads where people complained giving the player characters the option to jump would ruin immersion.

We then went through pages where people were suggesting things like adding a cooldown to jump.

I haven't taken immersion complaints seriously since.

How long until they open a McDonald's in FFXIV? Place your bets.

No fun allowed the thread.

Kind of a silly reply. Some people want a highly consistent and original fantasy world and crossovers hurt that. Personally, I'm not a fan of them either, as I'd prefer FFXIV just focus on being FFXIV rather than a parade of nostalgia trips, but I realize they're probably going to keep happening.

I like them because usually they are played as other worldly.
as in they came from another world what you thought that this was the only solar system out there?

So if earth in real life was visited by some form of life you going to run out and be like hate to break it to you aliens but you gotta go get off my planet you are messing with my immersion planet earth was already good without you bye see you later.

alien is like but we have a serum that allows you to have super pow..........

MY IMMERSION NO THANK YOU!!!!

Joking aside.

Seriously no problem because it doesn't involve the story itself its something on the side that everyone enjoys.

For example Halloween and other holiday events these are earth made things but they are thrown into the world even our language if this was in fact a different world they would not have the same way of communication their holidays would be different.

so immersive argument gets thrown out the window at this point.

Point is just to have fun on the side and get some prizes out of it, then they leave our world example you don't see jack skeleton pumkin head girl cutting people off in a cutscene and asking directions to the nearest exist during a ultros fight even though it probably be funny.

could be worse the next crossover could be bravely default where you gotta do the same thing over and over seven times but be sure its slightly different.
