A certain upcoming colab event..

[Kotemon]

I'm just going to assume in advance that there is now a Yo-Kai-themed Hildibrand Bubble.

Anonymoose, are you saying you doubt the Divine nature of Godbert Manderville and his Manderville bloodline in the game's official canon?

I'm disappointed in you.

Yeah. Otherwise Gold Saucer wouldn't exist in Erozia cannon either.

It's well known that the crazy events around the Manderville's are just to damn far fetched to be believed, let alone swallowed in one gulp. Kind of like that guy who ends up going through the most insane chain of events to save all of humanity. Only in the end nobody will ever know about it and no one will ever believe the story about it. That NPC in the current side story felt like he stepped out of reality into something else. He's just there to witness things that do happen but nobody will ever believe it could happen. Since he's unaccustomed to it, its like insanity seeing your reality is nothing but the surface of something far more complex. Thus the Warrior of Light is "Meh.. Just another day of Hildy's tomfoolery".

With Greg, the whole thing with Enkidu (in the greater Erozea) was wrapped up quickly so there was no need to raise the alarm in the end. Also the warrior of light was there so no one will ever look at the report again if it was made. Godbert seems to be a mainstay of the Christmas event like some of the stories seem based on his anonymous charity work. The pumkin head NPC in Halloween seems to be real. Like everything else nobody is aware of the imps or that NPC or the event being part of something more complex. You are there because some how you're dragged into it like everything else.

Wondering how the event would happen in-universe.

Probably like the Shantoto or Dragon Quest events. Someone needs our help to catch a bunch of roaming ghosts accidentally summoned. We then need to Fate farm tokens to get the event items like the Lightning Returns event. All while wearing that bracelet that looks like a Yokai watch.
