Disappointed in Youkai Watch

[Letbluevannback]

Now that I've actually gone to give the event a try I have to chime in... I expected something better. The quests were small and not really interesting. With FFXIII, Dragon Quest and FFXI (both Shantotto and Maiden's Rhapsody) they did a much better job, where I felt an actual story was taking place. With Yokai Watch I felt like I was just tossed an item and sent to do FATEs.

Yup that is what it is, you are given the watch and your first minion then it is fate grinding to get all the weapons. There is not much of a story of any kind for the event.

Lightning is also a questionable one... was she thrown into Eorzea by Etro? Bhunivelze? or was it all a 'dream' to her? (the event takes place between XIII-2 and Lightning Returns, when she was crystallised).

From what I read online and from youtube stuff, I think it was Bhunivelze doing, testing her and seeing if she had what it took to be his savior( BTW she had it and had way more than required).

I'm having the same problem except it has already started happening, less and less people are doing fates, the PF is full of several different zones with only one person in the pt (during primetime no less), and that will only get worse. I may have already missed the boat unless I try really hard.

It might be a strategically smart decision to save the weapons requiring medals from eastern la noscea for last. With the summer event having FATEs, there should be no shortage of people doing those and you can double dip. I think the rest should be relatively easily solo-able, though I personally much prefer solo-fate-ing anyway.

That would be great, if there were any medals from eastern la noscea, SE planned ahead on that one

Edit: Nevermind, not going to parrot what the others said but here's my problem with it.

My problem is they once again force FATES on us for a sickly amount of time to collect them all.
What we really should complain about is friggin' God dog friggin' Fates dude...It's every time.
Please stop the FATE MADNESS. I'm serious. You guys seriously need to incorporate events better than shoving FATES down our damn throats for years.
Add them in dungeons, that way dungeons can still be ran and relevant AND help queue times. Stop trying to make open world full of people because we have levelers/Relic hunters still going at it.
You have to stop. I am not going to sit through and watch T.V. shows and crap while subbing to this game.
I'm not playing, I'm watching Youtube tryna to bum rush FATES YET AGAIN.

Here's the thing SE; ...I...Hold on, this is a big one...I actually WANT TO PLAY THE GAME! :'D A shocker I know. But I'm so damn tired of FATES in almost every thing
it's just saddening...

It reminds me previoulsy ppl make threads complaining seasonal events too SHORT!!

Dear YoshiP, I am innoncent!!! I love short seasonal events!!!

This game is extemely busy, while doing this events, I have no time to obtain all 235 weapons! ^^;
And it also slows down my next 240 anima while I am doing next 230 and 210 and 200 anima weapon simultaneously.

As a result I can't run mentor roulette daily to help ppl by filling the slots!

IMO OLN is best to leave for last, you have two continuously spawning kobold fates you can run back and forth to
