Yokai-Watch Event: Megathread Guide

[Alleo]

They choose it probably because its the easiest way to implement this event and because they have a free log in campaign going on right now and we are all running low level fates thus making those zones full again . (But poor newbies that are doing some fates only to be overrun by us oldies and standing no chance) I mean they still make hunts relevant again and again, so I am not surprised that they keep visiting a content nearly none want to do as a grind.

I do feel like the point about having the right minion out in the right zone seems to be not made too clear? I already sent two tells to some newer players that had the wrong minions out with one of them thanking me for that advice saying that he is new an later I gave him the tip to not summon his chocobo too. Not sure how many new or old players will try this event but will stop because they are frustrated with no drops (thus making a negative impact on this game for them) because they either have no luck even with the right minion out or reading it wrong and having the false minion out.

The Free log in campaign actually only pertains to players who previously had an account and haven't been subscribed in 30 days. So essentially they are trying to get oldies to come back and play for a bit. It does stand to reason that a new player could easily fall under those conditions and I agree that Yokai groups essentially destroy that source of experience for newer players.

A free company friend of mine got the alternate mount and all the weapons yesterday evening. He's been grinding pretty hard but did it in less than a week.

Maybe the idea of having medals drop form other sources (Diadem, Palace, Leves, even Verminion? Not to mention Dungeons and roulettes) didn't occur to them (course instances forbade minions anyway)?

Or just make the YK watch add a temporary ability to our character and we use that ability to catch Yokai that randomly appear on the maps. Why using FATEs? And why the Atma style? As if it's the best activity that the fans desperately want to do and that the fans keep asking them to make more content like that. WE HATE IT, ok?

no, you hate it.

[Evangela]

no, you hate it.

Sorry if you like Atma.

[Alberel]

no, you hate it.

No, the community largely hates it. Yoshi even acknowledged it in the anniversary stream last year or the year before. Pure RNG for things like this simply don't work as you end up with some players putting in 10x the amount of time and effort compared to others in order to complete it. I was in a group with someone in Central Shroud yesterday who had been grinding there for three hours with me; I completed multiple weapons in that time whilst they got only ONE legendary medal. That is why the community hates it. The fact Yoshi acknowledged that and yet still implemented the anima-atma stage and now this completely baffles me.

While I do wholely agree with you to a good extent, they did allow players who actually completed the 2.X relic to skip the anima-atma stage. They also probably see it as a problem in terms of progression, but their whole outlook on this event has been that "you don't need to do all of it." Not to mention that since you get 2 months to do this event, you don't have to do it all at once either.

This event and style of making fates "important" is terrible. I actually lose more interest in playing when stuff like this keeps coming up.
