Yokai Event Rerun..

[Balipu]

But then some people can't feel like a special snowflake anymore! WHAT A DISASTER!!
Besides, WoW is "recycling" their events every year and I barely heard complains about that back then. Why peeps so ego?

Because both fandoms are dumb in different ways.
Wow players have rose titned glasses welded into their skulls. When Blizzard staggers the content of a patch half the size of 4.1 over a three month period they all proclaim the devs geniuses.
FFXIV players, or at least those on the forum want content to be exclusive so that they can brag about it, but also want content to be available for everyone cause if they are the ones excluded, exclusivity is suddenly bad.

Personally I am not bothered with events returning, things going to the cash shop and ultimate difficulty being far beyond my capabilities. If people who are better at Triple Triad, PVP, Raiding than me get exclusive stuff, I am happy for them. If there will ever be a Nier. Automata crossover and I miss out on the drops from there due to RNG or something stupid like that (looking at you Brave Exvius) I will be mad. But only for that.


I understand why this event had to come back. It's not about an SE product so these can't be put onto the cash shop. so if the devs of Yokai Watch want the pets, the event has to come back. It won't impact my gameplay negatively.

Why is this an issue? Let all those new people experience the soul sucking FATE grind! \o/

Also "Please note, however, that samurai and red mage weapons are not available." am very disappoint, Yoshida.

Well to be fair, if they add SAM/RDM weapon for youkai then players will be questioning/demanding those two weapons for all past events/instances that include weapons too. Not to mentioned when we get new jobs, it will just snowball.

The only problem I have atm is that a forum moderator said we could safely throw away the left-over medals though, as they wouldn't be used anymore...

You mean this one - page 2 bottom post (nothing escapes the dedicated searcher!)

This isn't the first time an event was re-used, dragon quest's event was done twice, ffxiii was done twice (then went to the mogstore) i don't see why this is a big deal that we have a returning event?

[Gumbercules]

did they actually say this? i just remember them talking about a "the creators" collab and reminiscing about ultima online. I mean i already have the mount so will not do that part again :P, but guess they could add a new minion = weapon for sam and rdm.

Some of you make it seem as if the rerun of this event replaced a brand new event. That's not the case. They just wanted to bring it back.

Right now we have The Rising, which is a brand new event with new rewards and a mini-game. The rerun of Yokai hasn't taken away from anything.

And if you already completed it, you don't have to do it again. It's literally the exact same event.

I don't see what the problem is. Personally, I think this is a much better solution than putting the items on the mogstation.

It requires us to still put in the work, but we don't have to shell out money.

This is giving people a chance to get the mounts and minions. Not all of us could be around for the first time. I appreciate the chance to get these items and I'm sure a lot of others do.

started today, just a repeat of the old event, no new weapons or minions

"Compelling new content"

For some people, it is new content. So I would shut up if I were you.

Remember when Yoshi-P said to toss your coins cause they will never be used again...?

Remember that not everyone can see the future...?

As far as I'm concerned, I got all 13 minions, and weapons and thus both mounts. All the better if newer players can experience it too.... whether it sucks their soul or not.

[Gumbercules]

ahh kk then yeah imma pretend its not even there :P
Held me hostage enough last time >.>


on the mogstation thing, its possible they "can't" put em up for sale since its not their property. This could lead to them feeling giving ppl a second chance to get em (or a third or tenth in the future) is ok. The other x-overs are usually with their own IPs.

This. I threw away medals, and now I have to farm them again.
