GARO X FINAL FANTASY XIV

[ZhaneX]

Ga.. ro..? Never heard of it.

-googles-

Oh. Anime? Never seen it. Nice armours and mounts. Is the anime any good, worth watching?

There are two anime, though the majority of the series' are actually live-action dramas.

As to the animes, I've only seen the first, which I greatly enjoyed. Interesting characters, engrossing story, and had one of the best choreographed fight scenes I've ever seen in anime.

The "live action dramas" of GARO (which isn't actually 'live action drama', there's a term for these kinds of shows - Tokusatsu) have actually been running for a lot longer than the anime of GARO, which, again I say, is a pretty entertaining series.
Though the anime is quite good too, I've only watched the first one(anime) that came out.

I
NEED
THIS!!!

Seriously, Garo is one of my favorite toku series, and I'm so hyped they took the armor designs of the Makai Knights appearing in the first 2 season. I *so* want to cosplay Kouga!

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, THIS IS GARO! THE BEST MODERN TOKUSATSU IN JAPAN!

Who cares about the anime, when we've got the ORIGINAL Kouga-era armor! Garo, Zero, Dan, and Kiba, all right here for us! They even get their own versions of Gouten! Anyone who has even the slightest idea of what Garo is would be crying tears of joy at the sight of this crossover event!

Exactly! Crying tears of joy...!

Exactly! Crying tears of joy...!

We even get Rekka, Shiguto, Jabi, and Leo! And this is only what's confirmed! For all we know, we could even get Baron or Rodo!

^THIS!
I'm not a hardcore fan of Garo but I know about the series since long ago. The armors are awesome and I'm definitely looking forward to this collab now that they plan to include them in the game. *Looking Forward Intensifies*

^ DIS BERRY MUCH DIS!

I don't think they really expected people outside of Japan to be familiar with the show. Tokusatsu is mainly a Japanese thing, and while Tokusatsu has a very dedicated fanbase around the world the majority of western audiences haven't had much exposure to that outside of stuff like Power Rangers. Heck I'd be surprised if people here were familiar with Kamen Rider. This event is supposed to appeal to Japanese players first and foremost.

Power rangers after Saban took over doesn't really do Tokusatsu any justice.

Toei's Super Sentai is... better. (But I could be biased)

While I'm happy for those who know this specific series; this is the first time I've literally face-palmed watching a teaser trailer. What happened to cross overs being from other FFs in the series? It was stretching it a bit going into other SE works, then really went off the deep end with yokai; now it feels like they're just going with whoever can throw the most money at them to get advertised in a game. Some of the stuff looks cool as stand-alone (not knowing where it came from etc), so its not like I'm griping about the 'goodies' in general, but the aspect of where its coming from just feels entirely off for a FF game.
