Demon Slayer Collaboration

I'd rather FFXIV stick firmly to game related cross-overs. Seeing a bunch of things from every anime in existence is really going to have an impact on overall immersion, imo. It's one thing to see someone wearing a slime crown from a game series closely resembling this one but if someone runs by me wearing cosplay pieces from -insert generic shonen anime here- then I think that might be a part of a tipping point for me, lol.

Devil's advocate: I don't see how it's much different from our cosplay pieces from FF8 or FF9. Demon Slayer is more aesthetically similar than most of the stuff we get from within our own franchise. The FF13 stuff still looks really odd to me.

It's more just 'knowing'. If I see Lightning's gunblade, I know it's a Final Fantasy-verse construct. If I see someone running around with Ichigo's zangetsu, for instances, I know it's from Bleach and if I see more items or cosmetics from anime brands I recognize, the whole thing starts to feel a bit theme-parky. Where would the cross-overs stop?

Ideally they'd stop before they even got started.
Seeing a cosplay glams at all does the harm you suggest, though I suppose players cobble their own together from existing pieces regardless.

Perhaps because of all the weird hoop jumping the Ivalice raids had to do to establish part of FF12 and Tactics worldsetting inside FF14, all other FF games feel alien to FF14's world to me. If FF15 and Nier can come through portals to play around in Eorzea, other things with similar aesthetics shouldn't be counted out just because this sword wielder comes from something other than a video game, especially when we've had a Garo crossover.

(That said I'm not personally behind a Demon Slayer crossover.)
