While yes, some of this is a bit overdramatic, I agree that the event killed any and all motivation to buy the game.
Which is a "big deal", since I rarely want to buy games in the first place because I really need to be hyped for them first, and I was for this one after E3.
Now all of that excitement is gone and they definitely lost a buyer by telling Yoshi-P to make it hard to finish the event, because I don't want to see any of those little critters ever again.

Then again, it probably introduced Yokai watch to a bigger audience, so I assume they gained more buyers than they lost through this event..

The droprate got really worse in the last hours. Was not the first time. On other days I had more than one time no drop for an entire hour.

But on the last day it got worse again. Stood up with 5 hours left and needed 15 token for one and 30 for another weapon on my twink. Both in outer La Noscea (yes these two Fates in the mine).

The first 2 1/2 hours went good. Got the 15 tokens for one weapon and 11 token for the last weapon. But then the luck heavily dropped nearly the same time for me and the others into the ground. Got only 6 tokens within the last 2 1/2 hours and so I ended with only 17 tokens for the last weapon till the time got to close to trade them in.

Post #2 has it right though. It was optional, entirely.

Technically, yes - but for people who enjoy collecting mounts and minions to the point where that consumes a lot of their time and focus in-game? Not so much. I did it because I like collecting stuff - but it was very tedious and dull.

Now if you go about it that way, you should already know that collecting all mounts and minions is going to be an arduous, tedious, and expensive endeavor. If you had gone in and thought that you would get everything straight off the bat, that's not how it goes, at least not with MMO's.

The challenge could have come from something more engaging especially when the game already relies heavily on FATE's to artificially make certain items harder to acquire.

That's true, but they would put more money into it than money they would get from it.

From those i could track, I have done around 640 Fates during the first couple of weeks of the event. I think I won a psn trophy as well heh. Anyways, currently if I see a fate pop or near by, I just run as far away as possible.

I got the first mount but didn't bother to get any of the weapons, too much work for some glamour that I didn't even really like the look of.

Yeah it was too much work indeed, but I got decent exp, made me skip running AV for couple of jobs. As for the gear, I liked DRK sword. It was good fit with wild rose set.

i just hope they don't plan on doing any "big events" again. not if what we get is long boring tedious grinds, which feel like the exact opposite of what an event should be.

It got me to try the games out as I was only familiar with the anime which I liked, I didn't end up doing all the Legendary weapons only did it for the Dark Knight Sword and the minions, they could have made the event 10x better but FATE grinding just seems like the easiest copout just put some rng drops in there for x event, let it go on for a few months and you're done.
