Disappointed in Youkai Watch

[KeluBehemoth]

Is this a joke?

They add an event that COMPLETELY BREAKS THE IMMERSION OF THE GAMES LORE in a game that is COMPLETELY DESIGNED AROUND FINAL FANTASY FAN SERVICE.

This just feels like a really cheap marketing campaign.

Don't take part then?

[KeluBehemoth]

Don't take part then?

Thats not the point.

The whole event and the items breaks the immersion of the game. I don't want to see the mount and the minions and the stupid items.

I understand people saying "Don't take part" and "Its not a big deal" but it really is a big deal. How long until we start seeing more crap like this? The ONLY reason that this is in the game is because Yoshi is good buds with Akihiro Hina (CEO and President of Youkai Watch).

Would you be happy if you bought the latest Call of Duty game and it had a level where everyone played as Bratz dolls?

If that's what you're worried about, don't be. There are so many ways you can already break the immersion in this game with glamour and silly mounts alone I don't think you'll even notice this.

I've never cared for Call of Dooty, but I'd pay good money to see that... That would be amazing, can we get a My Little Pony level as well?

As for "immersion", I cannot count the number of glamours/mounts/minions/etc. that I find stupid on one hand, there are just too many (really SE? You're adding Y'shtolas new outfit to the mog shop? Christ...). A quadraplegic can count the number of times I've actively been bothered by seeing other people enjoying said glamours/mounts/minions/etc. Nobody is forcing you to do this event, nobody is forcing you to look at this stuff, nobody is forcing you to play the Bratz doll level.

If they end up doing more stuff like this? I'll continue ignoring it, and they'll continue making extra money off it... I sincerely doubt Yoshida is doing this purely as a favor, much more likely the XIV team is finding some extra cash out of the arrangement... They kept doing the Lightning event, and I refused to even touch that out of disdain for that particular title, but those FATEs didn't upset me in the slightest... I don't even notice the Lightning glamours these days, and this will be no different... I have much more important things to get upset about in this game, like why the doors in Sylphlands don't open and close like the other beast tribe strongholds...

Really, the biggest issue here is that we still don't have a Bravely Second cross-over event... What the hell Yoshida, what the hell... You have time for cheap anime but not for a coup de gravy?! Mrgrgr... Guess an I am Setsuna cross-over is even lower on the priorities list...

Reminds me of the "forced to transmog" thread on the WoW forums. Someone whining about having to see others transmogs. LOL.
Plus, why should you care?

MY IMMERSION STRENGTHENS!!

Someone fighting a giant dragon in a bikini doesn't break your immersion already?

[KeluBehemoth]

No it doesn't.

Rikku? Tifa? Vanille?

Immersion isn't about realism. Its about immersion in the Final Fantasy universe and all things Final Fantasy. If there had never been a single scantily clad character in Final Fantasy... yes it would be lore breaking.

[Colino]

Rikku?

No, I'm talking about the fact that with glamour someone could be in your raid group or fighting Thordan EX in a maid outfit or a bikini, which obviously don't originally belong in the "lore" of FFXIV. You're bothered more by some minions? It's optional, casual content that you don't have to do. Most of the minions and mounts already in the game aren't exactly consistent with the world anyway. You weren't bothered by Lightning and FFXIII weapons showing up? Just because it's from Final Fantasy means it's OK? We had Dragon Quest events too, did you cry over them as well? Do you curse at whoever wears a Slime King hat?

Also, you seem to think this game is purely about fan-service. I'd have to strongly disagree having played since 1.0, the fan service is something they have decided to add to cater to people who weren't already playing and try to promote the game a bit. It is no way what the game is built around.
