I love chocolate in my peanut butter and peanut butter in my chocolate.

But I do not love pokemon, Yo-Kai watch or a likely to happen Disney event when the new kingdom hearts draws near, in my Final Fantasy.

Either SE isn't doing as well financially as they claim to be doing or someone wants more bonuses, cause we have not seen anything in the game indicative of a larger staff or this money being channeled to ffxiv.

I didn't want Hatsune Miku, Sword Art Online, or Fate Stay Night in Mabinogi when they did those crossovers (and actually, Mabinogi is doing the FSN crossover right now), but they came with really cool events and cool rewards.

If you people stopped being so stubborn and stopped complaining about something out of the ordinary once in a while maybe you'd find that you actually enjoy it. If you don't enjoy it, it'll be gone before you know it.

I'd be angry, and disney characters flopping around would be no better. I really don't want this sort of thing to become prevalent.

Honest and for true, I can not see SE including Disney characters in the crossover. I think there will be a crossover, but trying to make the iconic Goofy or Donald fit the aesthetic or worse come in all cartoony, seems like something square would avoid. Sora or other humanish characters I can see, but not the anthropomorphic animals.

I wonder what people's reaction would be if instead of Yokai Watch the event was Pokemon?

I think you're looking at this from the wrong angle. Look at Heavensward and the build up to it, note the (alleged) death of Nanamo, the death of Hauchefaunt, the racism, class imbalance and religious zealotry that comes from a theocracy like Ishgard, the potential of treachery within the Scions, and how malicious Nidhogg is. The expansion's story was marketed as being Darker than ARR and because of that (and certain homages) people perceive that to be the case.

With that in mind, a crossover with family-friendly franchises like Pokemon or Yo-kai Watch would feel like a clash with the tone of the expansion. Instead of asking how people would feel if the crossover was with something that was similar to Yo-Kai Watch but more well known, I feel that it would be more productive to the debate to ask how they would feel if the crossover was with something closer to the Tone of Heavensward itself but more well known

This means I have ask, how would you feel if the crossover was with Game of Thrones instead? Imagine if SE manages to get the OK from HBO and George RR Martin to create an event based around the "A Song of Ice And Fire" book series and the hit TV show created from it. How would you feel?

(And yes I know that the onscreen stuff is toned down in comparison to ASOI&F/GoT)

"The Darkness vs Yo-Kai"

(Excuse my cutting here^^)

I actually like this event because it is NOT dark and violent but instead something that lightens up a bit (same reason I like Hilli). I do like how the mainstory got darker and serious but its nice to sometimes get something thats only fun, maybe even a bit silly to lighten the mood
After all, I do play this game to be told a great story - but not having to cry myself to sleep every night because they killed my favorite character is nice too

I agree, I was just offering another perspective on things

In the end, people are running FATEs and filling empty zones, even if it's only going to last a week (or less) till the hardcore people grind it out and get them all. Then we'll see more "I'm disappointed because the zones are empty!" threads when it all dies down. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Personally I like this event as it gives you a lot of minions and glamour weapons for free.
If you don't like it just don't do it, I don't see the problem.

Have we been here before? Because I distinctly feel like we've been here before.

Leave my new minions and weapons alone, I know nothing about yokai watch but if you try to take them from me you risk losing a hand. I actually found the event amusing, with my character having a "o.o you're a what? Wtf, what? errr..?" Expression on her face every step of the way from the first cutscene with whisper to getting her first weapon

My god slayer is so confused XD and it's adorable.
