    Yokai Event

    You've made me not want to buy Yokai 2, thanks to that awful Event. Grinded hundreds of FATEs for nothing. In the end, I had to stop, because it made me quit playing FF14 for a month. That was too much for an Event; It was strenuous and time consuming.

    It was also completely optional.

    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. 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.

    Bruh. I have everything at 60 and I grinded the 750+ fates to get the Whisper-go-go. I'm not complaining about this because it was my choice.

    The Yokai producer wanted it to be difficult to obtain; instead, it was made extremely tedious but not difficult. But week one (even day one) everyone knew what the requirements were for unlocking and obtaining the hidden achievement mount. There was slightly over two months of time to do it. Obtaining it provides zero in game advantage, solely the satisfaction of getting that glowing mount.

    What it boils down to is whether it's personally worth it or not. But saying the event killed the game is pretty much beside the point, as the event is not the game.

    Was there really someone who had problems to collect all minions?
    The grind started with the weapons.

    Let me see if I can put this into perspective. While technically optional, for some people not finishing the yokai event was absolutely not an option as soon as they got on that long arduous road. For these people, not completing the event would just eat away at them like some kind of psychological cancer. Similar to what someone goes through when they don't finish a diploma, but unlike school, the event is done. There's no going back to finish what you started. Sometimes, people eliminate their own options.

    Eventually, coming to terms happens and you move on, but until that happens it is a really nasty feeling to have.

    Unless you really really wanted all those weapons, I don't see why else you would.

    Gotta keep a grounded perspective. This is just a fanciful game. Missing out on a few digital items or phony achievements shouldn't eat away at you.

    I certainly did. I'll never use those weapons (even for glamour)...
