Yokai-Watch Event: Megathread Guide

[Gemina]

In to say I DID IT!!

I am pretty casual, putting in the most of my hours during the weekends so it took me nearly the entirety of the event's duration. I'm also a newer player, have no level 60 jobs, and about 25 MSQs away from HW. I think it's safe to say you can imagine all the juggling. I literally had to put aside leveling my DoH to get this done, but I sure in hell leveled my DoW classes in their place.

Just a few stats:

Number of FATEs: 726
Drop rate%: .3057
Highest consecutive medal drop: 9
Highest number of FATEs w/ no medal drop: 20
Number of controllers broken: 2

For everyone still doing the grind, I wish you the best of the luck. And...



You can do it!!!

Only two days to go & no mention of the Special Event. I hope it's not Japan only. Very unlikely but they're the only ones who got a trailer for it.

Wait, special event?

Wait, special event?

I think he's talking about this event, the one with the medals and the weapons and the minions and the FATES and yadda yadda yadda.

Nope. There's a trailer on YouTube in Japanese that shows Yokai in FFXIV. I thought nothing of it until I read a random article on the Google News aggregator about the "finale" special event to take place on 3rd October to celebrate the end of the Yokai minions event. It was the first time I'd heard of it & I'm having trouble with finding the (English language) article as Google updates regularly. Here's the YouTube video though, if you understand Japanese. https://youtu.be/XiJPFAP4vzY

Of course, the article could have been wrong & I'm not denying that fact but I can't see why they'd write a whole article about that special event based on that video if it had no relationship to it.

FOUND IT!

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward is ending its collaboration with Yo-kai Watch with one last hurrah. A special "Eoruzea Dai Shūgō Nyan!" in-game event will start on October 3, the last day of the collaboration's run. The game's official YouTube channel began streaming a tie-in video on Wednesday.

How strange, I assume if it is an actual event it will be on all the data centres...

The video is just talking about the event itself. The whole thing was called 「エオルゼア大集合だニャン！」in Japanese (the "Eorzea Dai Shuugou da nyan!" event you mentioned), so no idea where they got the impression that this was a separate event on October 3rd alone!

I only bothered to even start and complete this event on my alt (who, admittedly seems to have actually become my main for the time being...)

After which, I've yet to bother summoning any of the minions, glamouring or using any of the weapons, and I can probably count the number of times I've summoned the glowing mount on one hand.

But it sure as the "Seven Hells" made leveling Paladin from 30 something to near level cap a lot more interesting, running about the world instead of grinding instanced dungeons ad nauseum!

If anything I hope they DO try something like this again, albeit maybe with "prizes" I'm more likely to want to glamour or summon outside of Halloween.

You would have though so, but why has there been zero information other than for the Japanese? They have a full part of the (FFXIV) website dedicated to Yokai but I haven't found an English version yet.
