Disappointed in Youkai Watch

[Tolmos]

As I watch a white mage wielding a staff with boobs, while wearing a swimsuit and fat chocobo head that is 3x the size of his body, all while accompanied by his chocobo companion dressed as a black mage and his wind up "Cursor" minion (a giant floating finger), I can't help but feel that this event is the absolute least of our concerns when it comes to immersion.

If you've managed to remain immersed this far, seeing a couple of weapons and items that don't have a tie in with FF lore won't make a big difference.

Jason, Predator, Freddy Krueger, etc in Mortal Kombat...people said wtf? When it came out it wasn't a big deal anymore, the game continued.

Injustice threw in Scorpion....people said wtf? When it came out it wasn't a big deal anymore, the game continued.

Same prediction for this event, you'll get used to it and continue.

You have to actively seek this out to go do it. It's not being thrust in your face. The Lightning events were hardly immersive. Last year's tribute to FFXI was certainly not immersive. Don't go do the event, it's hardly being forced on you, and a lot of people are looking forward to it.

God am I so glad you don't decide things for us. I would not enjoy this game so much. I have never even heard of Youkai Watch but I want those mounts and minions I think they are cool looking and fun. So glad I can enjoy the fun things this game tries to give us. And of course people have to complain about everything.

And they said the motorcycle mount was out of place hahahaaha!! :<

TO BE FAIR, that was due to the motorcycle either A.) Being unrealistically slow to match it up to other mounts, or B.) Being the fastest land mount in the game. It was out of place from a technical standpoint.

Eorzea - a perpetual 20 mph zone.

Haha true, its just they have magitech, but they can't wrap their head around a motorcycle! Where's my workshop so I can tune the engine in my magitech mount! I thought the idea was funny, Yes! a speed limit, I mean the mount they chose to add with this event isn't great either, everything but the mount would of been ok, adding that just makes it seem like they don't care how silly they want to be

Bs and I can tell you why. Floating mounts that can fly. If they fly faster in the air, then why when they're 4 ft above the ground? Yeah no, it wasn't implemented because of all the hissy-fit cry-babies thinking their game would lose immersion after all the constant immersion breaking we deal with 24/7 AKA Weekly Caps, RMT, and events like these.

Minions break immersion.

Glamour breaks immersion.

The player telling me game mechanics breaks my immersion.

EVERYTHING breaks immersion if you look at it a certain way. But I guess 15 Papalymo's in my Verminion, which totally isn't immersive breaking in any way, is okay.
