Disappointed in Youkai Watch

[RiceisNice]

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).

Where have you been? They already made a flying tortoise and have plans to make tank mounts (read: this includes a bear) flying. They've stopped caring for immersion and a FF-esq setting a while back now.

Some of them do have actual items too. Why aren't you upset that the Valerian Gear is from Tactics Ogre? Or that the DRK AF set is inspired from Berserk? Just because there's no event to go with it?

As I've said before, there's a line between what people feel is acceptable or not. Something like Valerian gear can exist within a setting like this. Having non-allagan futuristic blasters or an Irish dwarf does not. Likewise with the ability to glamour gear, I wouldn't mind so much people glamouring bikinis ion the sense the bikinis can reasonably exist in the game setting. Not so much when you can glamour into a storm trooper or futuristic armor that clearly doesn't look allagan. My threshold was already pressed with the flying tortoise in consideration that there are already tortoises in the open world that possess no ability to even breathe fire.

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.

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

THEN DON'T PARTICIPATE. No one is holding a gun to your head demanding you to do the event. I'm not into the anime but I like a few of the weapons.

Ahhh so much salt in this topic.

Don't take part then?

I haven't even seen the event yet or the items, but that's completely missing the point. I'm not supporting the OP but saying 'don't take part' doesn't somehow make those things disappear from the rest of the game. It's not a valid argument to make when that's not why the OP is disappointed.

Again, I haven't even seen the items so I'm not supporting the OP in any way until I can see for myself.

Don't take part then?

Bet no one thought that when they had the FF7 Advent Children Bike on stream. This game is full of hypocrites. :/ (not you in particular)

I'm only disappointed in it because yokai watch is a really lame anime to me.

But I guess if there's any fans of it kicking around the game they'll enjoy it.

Or they're fans of the game that the anime is based on.

Though, I figure a large amount of the fans are on the JP servers, since the game's popularity can be compared to Pokemon's popularity in Japan.

same lol its a kids show feels like its targetted at 7 or 8 year olds ;/

The mount looks kind of silly but then again so do the ponies in this game which look like they are out of my little pony the cartoon...no one is forcing you to take part in the event. Feel free to just continue doing whatever else you want to do instead.

[Shikiseki]

Is there something people will NOT be disappointed with in this game? Geez.

This is a crossover event to get something otherworldly to the game - basically a promotion yea (and yes, that was basically the Lightning, Dragon Quest and the FFXI event too!). It's a limited event anyway.
If you think fanservice breaks the lore, we wouldn't even have Bahamut/Alexander/All the past bosses because he's sort of "fanservice" too?

[KeluBehemoth]

Why am I the bad guy here for wanting to keep a Final Fantasy game designed around Final Fantasy fan service... about Final Fantasy?

If you want Youkai Watch... go play Youkai Watch. I shouldn't have my gaming experience tainted because "omg minions lolwutsaFFIV?"

This is a blatant cash grab (SE is clearly being paid) marketing campaign and doesn't belong here.

Really though? How long until they realize that they can start putting up posters of the Latest Dodge Journey... with a Moogle hood ornament?

I'm sorry but if you don't have a problem with this you are NOT a Final Fantasy fan.



I get all the other crap but a Fem Roe wearing nothing but a Fat Chocobo head and a Bikini is STILL less lore breaking than something like this.
