Yo Kai Watch Event

[Cidel]

Of all the weapons they offer, only the summoner look interesting, kind of reminds of Necronomicon by Lovecraft, but I don't plan on getting it.

Incidentally I find the SMN's weapon the least interesting and just looks like a metal book spoiled by that thing's face. At least everything else has some sort of cute factor going for it, at least.


SMN and SCH's primal token books look way more Necronomicon to me.

Im not to try being mean, just my opinion: also never heared of Yokai Watch, even Im more like an Otaku!

For me it looks like SE got paid from that Yokai Watch developer to have there 2.5month long event in our best RPGMMO we have, to get famous and actually known what Yokai watch is! >.>;

We've been told that Yoshida and the director of Yokai watch are actually friends and decided to do the event while out drinking one night. I'm sure there was some money exchanged though since the two games are both sharing characters with each other.

I'm finding google results about Yokai watch outselling pokemon. I dunno if its game sales or merchandise and I also don't know how large the sales gap was, but I'm guessing that the Yokai series is doing decent over in Japan (or wherever its been beating pokemon in sales.)

Not sure if its true but on reddit someone posted that the Yôkai Watch will use a medallium, where the tokens will be stored. Best reaction on reddit: BUT TACKLE BOX WHEN!?

Hopefully they just use it to test it for future features because otherwise its a little sad that such a one time event will have a extra window and something like the tackle box seems to be impossible..

If the info on reddit is wrong please just ignore my comment.

Edit: it seems that this is only for the normal medals and not for the legendary ones..those still go into our inventory and any item that is thrown away cant be reclaimed by the GMs.

One thing that gets me though is whatever happened to the Phantasy Star Online 2 cross-over. Seems like that has been completed forgotten or ignored and jumped to this one. Hopefully its just on the back burner if anything. In the end though I am still looking forward to this, not 100% excited about the mount but the weapons do look pretty cool and I can't say no to more minions. I just hope they interact somehow. Kind of a disappointment to see the newer ones do nothing when near each other unlike the mogs or the Courel/Wolf pup.

Yokai Watch is insanely popular in Japan, just not anywhere else. If anything, it's the other way around lol. Yokai being in FFXIV might actually get it more players.

IIRC when they had him on during one of the live letters they said Level 5 did most of the work for this event, and the CEO of Level 5 is a big fan of FFXIV.

People were complaining about it back then to I assure you.

The only reason I wasn't complaining about it back then and for the Dragon Quest even was because I was on hiatus during that event and for the past two weeks I've been playing dark souls...

actually the Calca and Brina minions from patch 3.2 and the cheerleader minion from 3.3 are dancing together. but not every minion can be a special snowflake ^^
