Crossover events and breaking immersion

[KaitoAsaha]

Immersion was broken ages ago. I'd say the single biggest offender was the Adamantoise mount. It's just gotten worse since then, but after that, nothing else mattered.

These things are apparently okay because its 'within' FFXIV. Outside crossover stuff however..

But I agree. Immersion went out the window long ago, by their own hands no less.

Pretty much.

I just think of it as a fan service game minus the gainaxing. (which we need more of)

I remember the alpha threads where people complained giving the player characters the option to jump would ruin immersion.

We then went through pages where people were suggesting things like adding a cooldown to jump.

I haven't taken immersion complaints seriously since.

What......?

What......?

Yes, there really were people that thought JUMPING was immersion breaking. Since then we've added:

Dragon Quest
Other Final Fantasies (Tactics/Ivalice, 11, 13, 15, and I'd be completely surprised if they didn't do a 7Remake crossover when the time comes)
Yo-Kai Watch
Garo
Nier Automata

And these are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head, I'm 100% sure there's more I forgot

Things like Yo-Kai and Garo don't bother me at all because they're basically just holiday events (even if they aren't in a holiday format) and have no real story relevance. I'm more annoyed with things like the entire 24 man raid just being a gigantic FF 12/Tactics rehash rather than anything original. The upcoming one is going to be Nier, and while I loved Nier Automata and will gladly take the cosmetic rewards, I'd rather have a FFXIV original story.

Everyone has the right to express their opinions and thoughts, but we should judge those individually.

Bad feedback on let's say combat mechanics don't make all feedback on combat mechanics bad, right?

I require links to this nonsense.
I almost died laughing.
