Disappointed in Youkai Watch

[dragonkyn20]

While I do agree that the yokai watch event is weird and doesn't necessarily fit into the game, I'm still going to go enjoy and farm it. Don't give me that crap about me 'not being a true FF fan' when I've played through every single game in the series, including spin-offs. You have no authority to claim such a thing, OP.

It actually is quite different from Pokemon and worth a look. I enjoy it, personally. Not saying you will, but it is still worth a look. The second and third are supposed to be even better from the reviews I've heard from Japan.

-shrug- If this event perks my interest at all beyond just new stuff to collect in a game I play regularly, I may look into it. I mean, I remember when I was a kid, people would always argue that Digimon was a ripoff of Pokemon or Pokemon was a ripoff of Digimon, even though they were two completely different things and just had similar thematics about friendly monster pals :P. So who knows!

They should of put a dance emote as one of the rewards... >w>

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)

[Kurogaea]

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.

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.

I'm not agreeing with the OP but you guys comparing Miqo's in swimsuits to a completely FF-unrelated event are holding no water. There's a massive difference. Also, the OP may have had a problem with the other events too such as Dragon Quest. Just because they've done this before doesn't mean he can't dislike this event.

Well, the argument was it was breaking his immersion/the game's lore (when there are already many immersion breaking elements in the game/things that do not make sense lore-wise). Even if they exclusively added FF-related events, it doesn't mean that they would fit into the lore of FFXIV/not break immersion. *shrugs* So, I was just pointing out that the argument didn't really make sense. Basically, it's just "I only want FF fan service in my game ".

He's completely allowed to dislike the event, just as people are allowed to like it.

Agreed. It's pretty disgusting. Product placement is bad enough in movies. I don't want it in my games. Especially in games where it's anachronistic.

I dont think that you really know/understand what "Product placement" is - because you would know that this isnt... this is a collaboration event with another game, that is supposed to benefit everyone: Yokai Watch to get more people, FFXIV to probably get more people, the players to get some more content that they might or might not like. You're allowed to not like this content ofc - but I feel asking for not realising content like this ever again (aka collabs with other games etc.) is only hurting us, as playerbase, in the long run. It will stop innovation and the game from evolving - and I feel bad for the devs that there are so many people who object to one silly, little event and always seem to know better how they should manage their time...

The game didnt end when we had the collabs with FFXI (with a giant Shantoto running through the desert) or with Dragon Quest. It didnt end when we put eastern, christmas and halloween into it. The MQS was never effected and I doubt it will be in the future. They do take their lore serious but they're also able to lighten up from time to time - and thats good! To bad that you cant and have to be so bitter about something thats only supposed to be fun...

I wonder how many Yokai Watch fans are crying about the integrity of their game being ruined by the Chocobo and Moogle characters...

[Ozz]

cannot believe this is atma again!! after how much we HATED and complained about fate related RNG!
Yoshi-p has run out of ideas and creativity for content and seasonal events too by the look of it. so so sad.
