Collaboration events

[MaikoRaines]

I've noticed that the dev's have been rather quiet about collaboration events. I know that Phantasy Star Online 2 did a collab where they got the costumes from NieR: Automata.

I know that a lot of people were asking if we'd ever get some kind of similar collaboration too. I mean... PSO2 got the Odin fight, NieR costumes and we got... Yokai? Twice? I mean I don't mind Yokai but can we get something rather relevant to the S-E worlds? Why is PSO2 getting S-E collabs and we aren't?

I would have thought by now we would have seen an FFXV collab. Really holding out for those Kingsglaive costumes. I think we'd sooner see an XV collab in PSO2 before XIV at this rate =/

We won't get a ffxv event, Kinglaive outfits will probs end up being cash shop items

Idk...

I'm probably wrong about this but I just have this feeling that FF14 is not big on collab events. It might be just because nearly all the events we have are purely seasonal and most of the mmos I've played do those as well PLUS other events.

Last year, outside of seasonal events, I think we had DQ and Yokai as collab and some anniversary events. That's it. To me, that is just so...minimal in terms of events. Really wish they did more.

The reason I still believe that we may get that XV crossover is because we had previous FF title crossovers in the past like XIII and XI (which I participated in those events).

PSO2 basically allows people to use it as a marketing medium if they're willing to pay for it, whereas I think FF14 only does collabs when it's something both sides are genuinely interested in.

Being a sub-based game, FF14 is also a lot less dependent on micro-transactions for its income which is probably part of why they're a lot less prone to having collabs then PSO2. People spend out the wazoo to get their hands on the collab items, knowing they'll likely never return.

If we ever do get another collab, it won't be one any of us asked for that's for sure.

I'm still holding out for Nier: Automata and FFXV events. FFXV is more likely, and it releases on PC relatively soon, so we may yet get it.

PSO2 isn't a great comparison because they do collabs with literally anyone or anything that asks.

Part of it also may be that the Phantasy Star series has sort of had collaborations since the original PSO on Dreamcast if you look at some of the weapons in game. When PSU made clothing/appearance items a thing for the series it just opened the door wider. I cant immediately recall any costumes from PSU but I do recall on the Phantasy Star Portable series on PSP there were costumes from Fate Stay Night and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Not just Yo-kai Watch. We've also gotten two FFXI events, FFXIII, Dragon Quest X, and Garo. That's more than 1 collab per year since ARR's release. And that's not even mentioning the gear from previous FFs that we get as Veteran Rewards.

I'd love to see Nier and FFXV stuff too, but don't act like we've been getting shafted when it comes to crossovers.
