Disappointed in Youkai Watch

[Colino]

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

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

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.

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.

I wasn't bothered by the Lightning event at all because its still Final Fantasy. Not my favourite but its still one of them.

Again though, Bikini's don't bother me. Final Fantasy has never been about realism. I'm not talking "Medieval Times" style lore. Just the universe.

Like I would not expect a bikini in Dark Souls.

Being that there has been a number of scantily clad characters in Final Fantasy over the years though, its not lore breaking.

It's unrealistic, but not lore breaking of the Final Fantasy universe


Aside from the fact that it doesn't fit the universe, its infuriating that its sponsored content. Designed to sell us a product and dressed up as something it isn't.
