Animal Arossing crossover

[TwiibieTwuu]

Would you want it? Frog chair?

DoL/DoH content involving a bunch of cutesie animal friends?

Why are you so obsessed with crossovers...?

To make this short: No, thank you. Not intrested in crossovers, specially not from games that are not even closely connected in any way or form to FFXIV.

Imagine all the cute housing items!
RIP people that don’t have a house though.

Imagine all the cute housing items!

Imagine making them with one's own IP, instead of ripping them from another. You know, like... most IPs?

Ultimately, if the devs decide increasing housing items would be what's best at the time for getting more profits in the foreseeable future, they'll add more. If not, then we're not going to get something that amounts mostly just to what wasn't worth adding.

What's wrong with crossovers? The monster hunter cross over was good, most folks are eager to continue the Nier crossover.

I see nothing wrong with DoL and DoH getting a cross over for once.

The MHW crossover began its planning before either game was even released. Yoship said as much in a recent live letter - Him and the the MHW director are good friends and always wanted to do a crossover between two of their projects, whatever they were in the end.
Nier? I wouldn't really call it a "crossover" when you consider that Nier hasn't gotten anything FF14 themed - The Nier raids is more like Nier themed content than it is a crossover, especially as the Dark Apolcypse storyline is canon, supposedly.

All the others? Actual CROSSOVERS or in otherwords the game got something from it too.

What do you want out of this crossover? Raubahn as a villager in your town in animal crossing?

Come on...

Hmm. Maybe a crossover would get me interested in Animal Crossing.

There is nothing inherrently wrong with crossovers or with borrowing from other games (technically, Nier wasnt a crossover, because nothing went "over" so to speak).
But to me that doesnt mean we should just suggest a bunch of different games and see what sticks - an event for DoL/DoH (...something maybe... like... rebuilding a city...?) sure, I'm all for that. But a crossover with the reason "They didnt get one yet!" seems silly to me.
With crossovers theres also always the question: Does the game fit into FFXIV from a lore- and design-perspective? Monsterhunter and Nier do that - at least in my opinion. I suppose you could argue that we're having gardens and are apparently supposed to get farms at somepoint (so lore would be covered) but the whole artstyle of Animal Crossing is way different than FFXIV. Personally I wasnt a fan of Yokai and Dragonquest crossovers for the same reason (and I rarely see people using the pets and glamours from those two).
I'd also consider wether or not its a crossover the devs want to do - maybe this sounds weird, but my reason is that I trust the devs to pick things that they believe they can incoroprate into Eorzea (or things they WANT to incorporate) and by having them pick its assured that nothing will stick out to much.

As fun as FFXIV is: I dont want it to become a melting pot of everyones favorite non-FF game.

(And as a sidenote: With all the money, work and planning that goes into crossovers and all the legal bs behind them, I'd rather not have them at all - look at Garo and Yokai: Those things have been designed, modelded etc. and now they cant be obtained anymore, not even in the mogstation - why? Contracts have ended.)

I don't see that technicality as making it "not a crossover". FFXIV is playing host to a crossover story with elements of FFXIV and elements of NieR in it. Whether NieR hosts a reciprocal crossover with FFXIV seems irrelevant - particularly when it is a stand-alone published game.

So. Much. This.

This is why I've been wary of the NieR crossover from the start. It's created a whole extra level of the extent to which they will bring non-FF titles into the game. We've gone from temporary events to permanent self-contained events with a short excuse plot (Monster Hunter) to this large-scale storyline and an entire alliance raid series, which is more than some actual FF crossovers have gotten. Where does it stop now, and how many more parts of this game will be a patchwork of other games? At least stick to the scope of using FF games.

If you want to play Animal Crossing, go play Animal Crossing. If you want to play Doom, go play Doom. Enjoy them in their own games. Bringing them here doesn't necessarily make this game any better.
