Crossover events and breaking immersion

[Valic]

Would you be fine with such a raid if it was something you did not like?

There ain't much I don't like tbh... I guess I just like the game and its ideas?

Midargardsomr is not NieR, and is the only thing I mentioned as part of XIV's story, so... where is that strawman coming from?. "Even if I'd have preferred Yoko Taro work his magic on an actual XIV plotline" does not state that he already created any part of XIV story. The only connection I spitballed, no where near the post you replied to even, was the Light Waste, which likewise did not exist prior to ShB.


...Of all the examples, you choose that one? A dragon (established species) in the Azim Steppe (an established location) presented through a hunt board (an established means) to present a fight in a near-copy of the first boss area (an established fight) and includes aldegoat charges (an established mechanic), as an example of how a crossover does not benefit from connecting itself to the game through the whatever the game already have? They clearly thought differently, even if only to save costs at the time.

Tbh, I think I gave up on this thread a while back. The people who dont like what we got are gonna stay stubborn to it. I enjoyed both the Neir raid and the MHW crossover... They fit fine, they're told well enough, and they're fun. Personally, I don't need much more than that... But I'm also a believer that life is too short to get upset over how a scantily dressed android woman can be apart of a series where we have silly talking fish and dimensional crossover left and right.

I guess all I'm saying here is... Go ahead and dislike it? It's only doing yourself in to choose to see it in a bad light. I don't see them changing anything about it and I find a lot of people enjoy the crossover thus far... I personally love that they're implementing these ideas and taking advantage of them, because I have never seen content manage to successfully pull off these sorta things in an mmo. If I ever am skeptical of anything they put in, I usually get over it when I realize how much effort was put into it all. Yokai watch included, not a fan of it at all... but eh.... could be worse things and it's semi-enjoyable, and its not even canon so /shrug.
