What's with people saying Yokai-Watch looks out of place?

[Causality]

It doesn't fit. Have you actually seen that mount? It's hideous. I for one will not do the event and will actually blacklist anyone i see with that mount or any of the pokemon out.

I can't take that statement seriously from someone in a free company called 'Cookie Monsters'.

[Causality]

The XIII things don't have the horrendous mouths that will be exposed from now on, though.

How about FF 9 then?

Glad they decided to waste dev time on this instead of work on modeling some new gear sets. I'm guessing next patch is going to be allot of reskins.

You mean the new dungeons won't have new gear and the new gear coming for crafters/gatherers is a lie? My mind has been blown. And since I wanna argue schematics, the Yokai-Watch weapons are new gear technically!

or People Fighting Bahamut with weapons that have rainbow music notes and moogles on them.... OH wait!

Me and my FC beat Bahamut with all of us wearing an afro.

Yes, I'm sure the patch will really suffer because of a few weapons for an event.

Maybe I'm biased because I love Yokai-watch

This was obvious and yes you are extremely biased. I would venture a guess and say you didn't like FFXIII as well.

The FF series has always looked to it's past for inspiration and it's something many long time fans enjoy about it. That being said it makes perfect sense for an ancient empire with advanced technology beyond anything else the world has ever seen to have clockwork automatons. Can you seriously question that? (besides being upset they were taken from the most divisive FF game to date?)

The Yokai watch crossover IS out of place, no less so than if everyone got Pokemon minions. But at the end of the day all it's going to amount to is a few strange minions and glamour weapons, except for the Whisper mount that is going to look so crazily out of place that it would look more natural if they just gave out Pigeots and Fearows.

My retainers are crying at the thought of all those things that need storing. ;_;

As with all other event items (Dragon Quest, Lightning returns, The FF11 events) Your retainers Should be safe and you can probably store them in the Armoire.

The whisper mount? Please, I view it as Godbert Manderville and Cid Garlond getting together and making something really outlandish to delight the children for the next Starlight Celebration. Its something the two of them, especially Godbert, would make. I wouldn't be surprised if Godbert didn't have a toy store somewhere in Ul'dah, and Cid is already known to make wind-up dolls and sell them.

The warrior of light can't be eccentric? Well maybe not your warrior of light, but people are people. I'm sure most of us have encountered that one person that made you shake your head and go what the.....

The point is, Is this gear out of place? No. Not anymore than using Glowing Musical Mogfists to lay low Bahamut, or Half if not more the glamours we see every single day.

This breaks my RP immersion!

Have you considered there could be, or a story can be made to compensate for Booger Butt? (If this is your name I very much apologize, I made it up on the fly.)
Booger Butt was not always known by his name. It happened a few moons back on a balmy summer's evening. He was one of many adventures that had gathered to slay the Primal Titan. It just happened that his chocobo had taken a wiff of the La Noscean Daffodils that dotted the mountain side just south of Camp Overlook. There was a very loud Kwehhhh wooooo and his posterior was met with the expulsion of the chocobo's sinuses. His Company never let him live the moment down and have since called him no more than Booger Butt.


Why would an adventure have a weapon like the Yo-kai watch ones? Well remove Yo-Kai watch, that doesn't exist in Eorzea. So why would an adventure have a weapon like this in general?

Well, They're a toy lover and had a weapon commissioned to resemble one.

Perhaps though an imp thought it would be funny to glamour their weapon to look that way.

Perhaps, from an RP stand point, a mischievous or scornful mage enchanted the weapon that it would look that way to everyone, except your character.

There are countless ways a weapon like these can appear in a world like Eorzea.

The challenge to any RP community, Not just you Balmung, is to figure out how to incorporate these items into your individual RPs. Its not impossible, its actually ridiculously simple. Children exists, Toy makers (Godbert, Cid, Beatin, and a few others for sure canonically) out there, you have a large amount of content to work with. Use it, because these weapons and mount are coming, whether you like it or not and they need not break the 4th wall.

Level 5 did the designs and the FFXIV team modeled the weapons based on the art they got from Level 5, for what it's worth.

I smiled when I first saw the Juggernauts in Azyz Lla. I love any event, too. They're fun and have rewards.. and they're optional.

[WinterLuna]

Well aren't you an edgy one, you must be really fun at parties.

IT'S NOT A PHASE MOM.
